A control method for an electronic limited slip differential of a vehicle includes: determining by a controller, whether the vehicle is in an understeer state or an oversteer state when the vehicle is turning; and performing driving force movement control by the controller. In particular, when the vehicle is in the understeer state and an actual driving force of an inner wheel of the vehicle is greater than an allowable driving force of inner wheel, the controller increases the control torque of the electronic limited slip differential and transfers the inner wheel driving force to the outer wheel of the vehicle.

Control method for electronic limited slip differential

A method of controlling launch of a vehicle may include checking a start condition of the vehicle by a controller, determining whether only predetermined launch creep control torque is set as additional torque or whether the launch creep control torque and predetermined launch pre control torque are set together as the additional torque according to whether an accelerator pedal is manipulated when the start condition is satisfied, by the controller, setting the additional torque by adding launch slip control torque determined in consideration of a wheel speed difference between opposite driving wheels to the additional torque upon determining that the wheel speed difference is greater than a predetermined reference wheel speed, by the controller, and controlling an electric limited slip differential (eLSD) using the set additional torque, by the controller.

Method of controlling launch of vehicle

An automatic transmission for vehicles, whose weight, length, and manufacturing cost are reduced as a consequence of simplifying a structure thereof by removing a torque converter. The automatic transmission for vehicles may include a first shift portion outputting three intermediate rotational speeds of a same rotational speed as an input rotational speed, an increased rotational speed, and a reverse rotational speed by using torque received through first and second variable input pathways, and a second shift portion including first, second, third, and fourth gears that respectively achieve first, second, third, and fourth gear ratios, changing each intermediate rotational speed received from the first shift portion into four final rotational speeds, and outputting the same.

Automatic transmission for vehicles

The present invention relates to an automatic transmission for vehicles, whose weight, length, and manufacturing cost are reduced as a consequence of simplifying a structure thereof by removing a torque converter. An automatic transmission for vehicles according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a first shift portion outputting two intermediate rotational speeds of a reduced rotational speed and a same rotational speed by using torque received through a first variable input pathway selectively connected to a first input shaft and an input pathway fixedly connected to the first input shaft, and a second shift portion including first, second, third, and fourth gears and a reverse gear that respectively achieve first, second, third, and fourth gear ratios and a reverse gear ratio, changing each intermediate rotational speed received from the first shift portion into five final rotational speeds, and outputting the same.
