All-wheel drive vehicle

The invention provides an all-wheel drive vehicle which can easily suppress heat generation of a transfer case in a structure provided with a horizontal power source. The transfer case comprises a gear chamber for accommodating the transfer case input gear and the transfer case output gear; a connection chamber for accommodating the connection member; a first communication oil passage; and a second communication oil passage. The first communication oil passage causes the lubricating oil to flow from a space above the connection chamber to a space above the gear chamber. The second communication oil passage causes the lubricating oil to flow from the gear chamber to the connection chamber. As a result, the lubricating oil is cooled by the coupling member that scrapes the lubricating oil in the coupling chamber, and the scraped lubricating oil circulates from the coupling chamber to the gear chamber via the first communication oil passage. In a gear chamber, a transfer case input gear and a transfer case output gear which are meshed with each other are efficiently lubricated by lubricating oil, thereby suppressing heat generation. Lubricating oil that lubricates the transfer case input gear and the transfer case output gear circulates from the gear chamber to the connection chamber via a second communication oil passage.

Brake-dynamic steering impulse method for all-wheel drive vehicles for stabilization and braking distance reduction in μ-split situations

The invention relates to a vehicle dynamics control method for all-wheel drive vehicles which, in the event of detected braking instabilities, combines a time-limited axle decoupling with software-controlled, alternately side-directed steering impulses. These impulses generate a changing wheel normal force shift, resulting in an asymmetrical brake force distribution. The process works independently of ABS or brake interventions, requires no additional hardware and can be implemented entirely via software using existing electronic control units. It enables adaptive, driving-condition-dependent stabilization and shortens the braking distance, especially on smooth or asymmetrical road surfaces (µ-split).

Vehicle control device

Provided is a vehicle control device capable of suppressing the occurrence of sound and shock when engaging an engaged clutch. When switching from a driving state in which only one wheel is driven to an all-wheel driving state is determined, the rotational speed of the electric motor is increased so as to synchronize the rotational speeds of the opposing teeth of the clutch. When it is determined that the rotational speeds of the opposing meshing teeth are synchronized, switching to the engaged state of the clutch is started. The rotational speed of the meshing teeth on the other wheel side after a predetermined time from the synchronization determination time point to the meshing start time point is calculated on the basis of the acceleration / deceleration request. The rotational speed of the motor is changed such that the rotational speed of the motor-side meshing teeth becomes the rotational speed of the wheel-side meshing teeth after a predetermined time. In a transition from the synchronization determination time point to the engagement start time point, the rotational speed of the motor is corrected such that the opposing engagement teeth are engaged with each other in a state in which the rotational speeds are synchronized.
