Motor torque control apparatus and method for automotive vehicle
First Claim
1. A motor torque control apparatus for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- a transmission which has either one of a fixed speed ratio and a variable speed ratio;
at least one motor-and-generator coupled with the transmission as a propelling power source of the vehicle, a power of the power source being transmitted to a road wheel for propulsion of the vehicle through the transmission; and
a controller configured to be electrically connected to the motor-and-generator for motor torque control, the controller comprising (a) a disturbance observer that estimates a driving force; and
(b) a motor torque control section that controls the driving force estimated by the disturbance observer, to bring the estimated driving force closer to a target driving force by way of servo control.

Abstract
A motor torque control apparatus for an automotive vehicle includes a transmission which has either one of a fixed speed ratio and a variable speed ratio; at least one motor/generator coupled with the transmission as a propelling power source of the vehicle, a power of the power source being transmitted to a road wheel for propulsion of the vehicle through the transmission; and a controller configured to be electrically connected to the motor/generator for motor torque control. Moreover, this controller includes a disturbance observer that estimates a driving force, and a motor torque control section that controls the driving force estimated by the disturbance observer, to bring the estimated driving force closer to a target driving force by way of servo control.

21. A motor torque control method for an automotive vehicle, the vehicle being an electric or hybrid vehicle which has at least one motor-and-generator as a propelling power source and which runs by transmitting a power of the power source to a road wheel through a transmission, the motor torque control method comprising:
-
estimating a driving force of the vehicle by a disturbance observer; and
controlling the motor-and-generator to bring the estimated driving force closer to a target driving force by way of servo control.
