Drive power controller for hybrid vehicle

A drive power from an engine is transferred to front wheel drive systems and rear wheel drive systems via a central differential. A torque distribution ratio between front and rear wheels defined by the central differential is set to one for the front wheels being made too much thereof, with a motor generator being coupled to the rear wheel drive systems. In response to detection signals from various sensors for detecting the running conditions, a drive power control unit controls the additional torque from the motor generator toward the drive torque or regenerative braking torque side, thereby changing the torque distribution ratio between the front and rear wheels. Thus, a degree of flexibility in making a change in the torque distribution between front and rear wheels or between right and left wheels is increased, thereby realizing an all-wheel drivable hybrid vehicle which provides further improved running performance.

Scaling of side-to-side torque bias to improve cornering in a programmable four wheel drive system

The present invention provides a method for improving cornering performance. From a given vehicle speed and lateral acceleration, in instances of a decrease in drive torque, individual wheel torque is shifted from inside wheels to outside wheels to increase vehicle yaw forces and counteract the understeer phenomenon. Similarly, in instances of increasing drive torque, individual wheel torque is shifted from outside wheels to inside wheels on a common axle to reduce vehicle yaw forces and counteract the oversteer phenomenon. Actual implementation of side-to-side torque shifting is done using a correction factor multiplied by other factors within a general torque shift equation.
