Traction assistance system for vehicles with electric drive powertrain
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240034298A1) describes a system for vehicles that includes a primary powertrain with a fuel-fed engine and an electric drive powertrain with a battery system. The system also involves a cloud computing system that communicates with the electric drive powertrain to receive vehicle data and external data, analyze the data to determine slip conditions on the vehicle's route, and adjust the electric drive powertrain configuration accordingly. The electric drive powertrain controller operates the electric drive powertrain based on this configuration.
The system allows for the independent operation of the primary powertrain and the electric drive powertrain to propel the vehicle. The electric drive powertrain provides motive torque to the electric drive axle, while the battery system can selectively supply electrical power to the motor/generator to assist in propelling the vehicle. The cloud computing system analyzes various data, including vehicle location, speed, load information, and previous slip events, to predict and address potential slip conditions. By continuously updating the electric drive powertrain configuration based on changes in data and route conditions, the system aims to optimize vehicle traction and performance, ensuring efficient operation and safety on the road.
