[0037] Figure 1 is a flow chart according to an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, a control method of torque vectoring in a race track mode is shown in Figure 1

[0038] obtaining a current driving mode of the vehicle, wherein the driving mode includes an economy mode, a comfort mode, a sport mode and a race track mode;

[0039] obtaining current position information of the vehicle through a vehicle positioning system when the vehicle is in the race track mode;

[0040] comparing the current position with a race track scene position stored in a race track scene database to determine whether the current position is consistent with the race track scene position stored in the race track scene database;

[0041] performing torque output according to a torque distribution strategy corresponding to the race track scene position when the current position is consistent with the race track scene position stored in the race track scene database.

[0042] In the embodiment, the current driving mode of the vehicle and the current position of the vehicle are obtained, the current position is compared with the race track scene position stored in the race track scene database, and the torque output is performed according to the torque distribution strategy corresponding to the race track scene position when the current position is consistent with the race track scene position stored in the race track scene database, so as to solve the problem that the vehicle can change the torque distribution in different race track scenes, and the vehicle can directly call the torque distribution scheme in the database without re-tuning in the race track.

[0043] In the embodiment, the current driving mode of the vehicle and the current position of the vehicle are obtained, the current position is compared with the race track scene position stored in the race track scene database, and the torque output is performed according to the torque distribution strategy corresponding to the race track scene position when the current position is consistent with the race track scene position stored in the race track scene database, so as to solve the problem that the vehicle can change the torque distribution in different race track scenes, and the vehicle can directly call the torque distribution scheme in the database without re-tuning in the race track.

[0044] ​Further, when the current location does not match all the track scenes stored in the track scene database, torque output is performed according to a preset torque distribution strategy in the track mode, so that the vehicle can adapt to different torque distribution strategies in different track scenes, improve the driving experience of the driver, and reduce the process of re-tuning the vehicle in different track scenes.

[0045] Figure 2 is a flow chart according to another embodiment of the application. In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 A control method for torque vector distribution in a track mode, comprising the following steps:

[0046] Obtaining the current driving mode of the vehicle, wherein the driving mode includes an economic mode, a comfort mode, a sport mode and a track mode;

[0047] When the vehicle is in the track mode, obtaining the current track scene of the vehicle;

[0048] Comparing the current track scene with a plurality of track fusion scenes stored in a track scene database to determine which track fusion scene the current track scene belongs to in the track scene database, wherein the track scene database stores data corresponding to the track fusion scene and the torque distribution strategy one-to-one;

[0049] When the vehicle is in the same section as the track fusion scene, controlling the vehicle to perform torque output according to the torque distribution strategy corresponding to the determined track fusion scene.

[0050] In this embodiment, by obtaining the track scene of the vehicle, comparing the current track scene with a plurality of track fusion scenes stored in a track scene database to determine which track fusion scene the current track scene belongs to in the track scene database, and when the vehicle is in the same section as the track fusion scene, controlling the vehicle to perform torque output according to the torque distribution strategy corresponding to the determined track fusion scene, the torque distribution of the vehicle can be changed in different track scenes, so that the vehicle can directly call the torque distribution scheme in the database without re-tuning in the track.

[0051] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the track scene database contains multiple track fusion scenarios, each of which includes several sub-scenarios. At least one sub-scenario has a special road segment that differs from the road segments in the track fusion scenario. Each special road segment corresponds to a torque allocation sub-strategy. When the vehicle is in a track scene with a road segment different from the track fusion scenario, it is determined whether the current track scene matches a sub-scenario within the corresponding track fusion scenario. If the current track scene matches a sub-scenario within the corresponding track fusion scenario, torque output is executed according to the torque allocation sub-strategy corresponding to the special road segment in that sub-scenario.

[0052] Furthermore, if the current track scene is inconsistent with a certain sub-scene in the corresponding track fusion scene, then at least one target road segment that is different from the track fusion scene in the current track scene is extracted, and the target road segment is matched with the special road segments corresponding to multiple sub-scenes in the track fusion scene. It is determined whether the target road segment matches the special road segment. If they match, the torque output is executed according to the torque allocation sub-strategy corresponding to the successfully matched special road segment.

[0053] In the above embodiments, in order to ensure the accuracy of matching between the vehicle's current driving scenario and the track fusion scenario in the track scenario database, it is necessary to further obtain the road condition information of the vehicle's current track scenario, compare the current road condition information with the road condition information in multiple track fusion scenarios stored in the track scenario database, and when the similarity between the current road condition information and the road condition information in multiple track fusion scenarios is higher than 80%, it is determined that the current track scenario and a certain track fusion scenario in the track scenario database are the same scenario.

[0054] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the torque distribution strategy in the track scenario is also related to the weather. After obtaining the current track scenario of the vehicle, the weather conditions of the current track scenario are further obtained. The current weather conditions are compared with multiple weather conditions stored in the track scenario database to determine which type of weather condition in the track scenario database the current weather condition belongs to, such as sunny, rainy, and snowy weather. When the current weather condition is consistent with a certain weather condition stored in the track scenario database, the torque output is executed according to the torque distribution strategy corresponding to that weather condition.

[0055] In this embodiment, by obtaining the weather conditions of the track scene where the vehicle is located, the torque distribution strategy can be further planned, making the torque distribution strategy in this driving scenario more optimized, and making the vehicle's torque output more in line with the real-time scenario.

[0056] The present invention also discloses a vehicle including the control method described above.

[0057] At this point, those skilled in the art will appreciate that although specific exemplary embodiments of the application have been described herein, the present application also encompasses many other variations or modifications in accordance with the principles of the application as set forth above. Accordingly, the scope of the present application should be understood to include all such variations and modifications.
