Abstract
A control system for an electric vehicle includes a first control device adapted to output a first signal indicative of a torque demand from an electric motor of the vehicle; a second control device adapted to output a second signal indicative of a negative torque demand from the electric motor; and a controller adapted to receive the first signal and the second signal and to control the electric motor in accordance with the first and second signals. The controller is adapted to control the electric motor to propel the vehicle in response to the torque demand indicated by the first signal exceeding the negative torque demand indicated by the second signal and to control the electric motor to regeneratively brake the vehicle in response to the negative torque demand indicated by the second signal exceeding the torque demand indicated by the first signal.
