A method and system of controlling an engine for vehicle interior heating is provided. The method includes performing a first engine control when the engine is not in an engine-on state for vehicle driving, to perform heating control for interior heating at a predetermined range of a reference coolant temperature. Additionally, the method includes performing a second engine control when the engine is in an engine-on state for vehicle driving, to prolong an engine-on time for vehicle driving by setting a minimum value of the range of the reference coolant temperature to a lower value and setting a maximum value of the range of the reference coolant temperature to a higher value and to determine a point of time of engine-off operation based on a real-time lock up time and an average lock up time of an engine clutch for vehicle driving.

System and method of controlling engine for vehicle interior heating

An apparatus and method for controlling driving of a hybrid vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a state identifying unit that identifies a driving state of a vehicle based on driving information of the vehicle during lock-up driving of the vehicle and a determination unit that determines whether the identified driving state satisfies a preset lock-up charge driving mode entering condition and determines a deceleration volition of a driver based on the identified driving state. When the identified driving state satisfies the lock-up charge driving mode entering condition a driving controller interrupts the vehicle from entering into a lock-up charge driving mode when the driver has a deceleration intention.

Apparatus and method for controlling driving of hybrid vehicle

The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for controlling an engine of a hybrid vehicle. The apparatus includes an environment information collection unit configured to collect traveling environment information of the hybrid vehicle, a determination unit configured to compare the traveling environment information with reference information and determine whether the traveling environment information meets a preset condition, a setting unit configured to set a reference coolant temperature based on the traveling environment information and change the reference coolant temperature based on the traveling environment information when the traveling environment information meets the preset condition, and an engine control unit configured to prevent the engine from operating heating and air-conditioning control of the hybrid vehicle when the traveling environment information meets the preset condition and a coolant temperature is lower than the reference coolant temperature changed by the setting unit.

Apparatus and method for controlling engine of hybrid vehicle

An apparatus for controlling a SOC of a hybrid vehicle comprises a data detector for detecting data including a SOC of a battery, a vehicle speed, an amount of operating of a brake pedal sensor, an amount of operating of an acceleration pedal sensor, and a driving state of a vehicle to control a SOC of a hybrid vehicle. Included are a correction value calculating unit configured for calculating a correction value of the SOC based on the data; a SOC calculating unit configured for calculating a virtual center SOC based on the correction value of the SOC and an actual SOC; and an engine-on/off determining unit configured for determining whether an engine is turned on or turned off based on the virtual center SOC.

Apparatus for controlling state of charge of hybrid vehicle and method using the same

A method and system for controlling anti-jerk in order to reduce vibration of a vehicle is provided. More specifically, a rotation speed (&#x3c9;) of a driving source device of the vehicle is received and a speed (&#x3c9;, &#x3c9;) of a left wheel and a right wheel connected to the driving source device is detected by a sensor respectively. Then, a controller, which receives this data, calculates an average speed (&#x3c9;) based on the detected left and right wheel speeds, produces a virtual speed through interpolation of the detected left and right wheel speeds and the average speed based on a predetermined sampling value, and calculates a model speed (&#x3c9;) based on the detected left and right wheel speeds, the average speed, the virtual speed, and a final gear ratio (&#x3b3;; where j is the number of the gear) considering a final reduction gear ratio (FGR) and a current gear of the vehicle.
