Traction control systems and methods are provided. In one example, a method for operating a driveline system includes selecting a vehicle standstill driveline output torque set point that maps to a pedal position and adjusting the vehicle standstill driveline output torque set point based on vehicle speed and accelerator pedal position. Adjusting the output torque includes ramping up the output torque set point when vehicle acceleration is less than a threshold value.

Vehicle system and traction control method for the vehicle system

Methods and systems for building and operating a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system are described. In one example, executable instructions to model a controller, operate a controller area network (CAN) bus, and process analog signals are separated from executable instructions that simulate or model a physical system. The executable instructions are separated so that they may be executed via different computer cores so that a real-time process of the HIL system may not be interfered.

System and method for real-time hardware in the loop

Methods and systems for operating an electric vehicle in neutral are provided herein. The vehicle system, in one example, includes an electric machine rotationally coupled to a driveline and an input device with a neutral position. The system further includes a control unit with instructions that when executed, in response to movement of the input device into the neutral position, cause the control unit to operate the electric machine to apply a regenerative torque to a driveline and generate electrical energy.

Electric vehicle with neutral regeneration

Systems and methods for an electric powertrain. The method, in one example, includes responsive to receiving a shift command, engaging a second friction clutch while disengaging a first friction clutch to transition from a first operating gear ratio to a second operating gear ratio. The method, further includes during the gear ratio transition, operating a traction motor under a peak condition, the peak condition denotes a condition where the motor speed is greater than a maximum continuous torque curve of the motor.

Electric power shift transmission and power shift method

Methods and systems are disclosed for sending a first parameter of a plurality of parameters to a third dedicated address of a plurality of addresses in memory, updating a parameter flag value in a first dedicated address in memory, updating a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value for the parameter flag in a second dedicated address in memory, writing a first parameter value for the first parameter in the third dedicated address and updating the CRC value of the first parameter to a fourth dedicated address in memory, sending a second parameter to a fifth dedicated address of the plurality of addresses in memory, writing a second parameter value for the second parameter in the fifth dedicated address and updating the CRC value of the second parameter in a sixth dedicated address, and identifying a monitoring result between read values and expected values.

Parameterization process and system for a vehicle

Methods and systems are provided for controlling and diagnosing one or more clutches in a transmission. In one example, a method for operation of a vehicle system is provided that includes at a diagnostic controller or processing unit independent from a driveline controller or processing unit, respectively, determining an engagement state of a clutch in a transmission of the vehicle system, wherein the engagement state is selected from a group of three or more clutch engagement states. The method further includes identifying an unauthorized clutch state based on the engagement state of the clutch and a speed of the vehicle and responsive to the identification of the unauthorized clutch state, operating the vehicle system in a fault state.
