Auto cruise controller of vehicle and method thereof
First Claim
1. An auto cruise controller of a vehicle, the auto cruise controller comprising:
- a memory storing computer readable program code; and
a processor configured to execute the computer readable program code, the computer readable program code, when executed by the processor, configuring the processor to;
subtract a torque u in a torque command from a calculated torque ur;
select, as an initial speed, a larger value between (1) a result obtained by subtracting an adjusted value X calculated at a current time (n+1) from an adjusted target speed calculated at a previous time n, and (2) a current speed {dot over (x)} of the vehicle;
generate the adjusted target speed based on the initial speed detected during a threshold time when torque limitation is released, and a set target speed {dot over (x)}d,wherein the processor is further configured to determine that the torque limitation is released when a result from subtracting the torque u in the torque command from the calculated torque ur is 0, and control the vehicle to the adjusted target speed.

Abstract
An auto cruise system includes a compensating torque generator, an auto cruise controller, a first calculator, a PI controller, a second calculator, a torque saturator, and a torque command limiter. The compensating torque generator generates a compensating torque based on road conditions. The auto cruise controller detects a time at which a torque limitation is released, and adjusts target speed at that time. The first calculator calculates an error based on a difference between the current speed of the vehicle and the target speed adjusted by the auto cruise controller. The PI controller calculates torque corresponding to the error. The second calculator compensates the torque calculated by the PI controller. The torque saturator defines an upper value and a lower value of the torque compensated by the second calculator. The torque command limiter limits the torque which is physically saturated in the actuator by the available torque saturator.

5. A method for auto cruise control of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
subtracting, by a torque difference calculator, a torque u in a torque command from a calculated torque ur; detecting, by an initial speed detector, which value is larger between a result obtained by subtracting an adjusted value X calculated at a current time (n+1) from an adjusted target speed calculated at a previous time n, and a current speed {dot over (x)} of the vehicle; selectively transferring, by a switch, a set target speed {dot over (x)}d to a dynamic rate limiter; controlling the switch, by a switch controller, to transfer the initial speed detected by the initial speed detector to the dynamic rate limiter during a threshold time at the time at which the torque limitation is released; generating, by the dynamic rate limiter, the adjusted target speed {dot over (X)}d based on the initial speed detected by the initial speed detector; andcontrolling the vehicle to the adjusted target speed, wherein controlling the switch includes determining that the torque limitation is released when a result of subtracting the torque u from the calculated torque ur is 0. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
