ELECTRIC VEHICLE CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an electric vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining whether the electric vehicle is travelling on an incline;
initiating, based on a determination that the electric vehicle is travelling on an incline, an incline assist operation of the electric vehicle;
generating a reference torque for the incline assist operation of the electric vehicle;
outputting, to a motor and based on initiating the incline assist operation, the generated reference torque;
controlling the motor to output a driving force according to the reference torque; and
determining, based on controlling the motor to output the driving force according to the reference torque, whether the electric vehicle skids on the incline.

Abstract
Systems and techniques are disclosed for controlling an electric vehicle. In one aspect, a control unit of the vehicle determines whether the electric vehicle is travelling on an incline, and initiates, based on a determination that the electric vehicle is travelling on an incline, an incline assist operation of the electric vehicle. The control unit generates a reference torque for the incline assist operation of the electric vehicle, and outputs, to a motor and based on initiating the incline assist operation, the generated reference torque. The control unit also controls the motor to output a driving force according to the reference torque, and determines, based on controlling the motor to output the driving force according to the reference torque, whether the electric vehicle skids on the incline.
