Patent ID: 7937201

Claim:
A method of delivering a torque setpoint signal to be applied to a wheel of a motor vehicle including an automated transmission, comprising: formulating the torque setpoint signal to be applied to the wheel of the motor vehicle, the torque setpoint signal including a static component and a dynamic component, formulated as a function of input data representative of characteristics of the motor vehicle, of a desire of a driver, and of an environment of the motor vehicle, wherein the static component of torque applicable to the wheel of the motor vehicle forms a subject of an adaptation in a braking phase, the braking phase including a period during which a brake is applied by the driver and an additional period beyond the period during which the brake is applied, as a function of a list of predetermined input parameters, the adaptation in the braking phase comprising: producing a dynamic component of raw torque representative of the desire of the driver as a function of predetermined input parameters, then correcting the dynamic component of raw torque to obtain a dynamic torque component, determining a static component of raw torque based on the dynamic torque component, and calculating a static torque component adapted to a braking situation, as a function of the static component of raw torque, the calculating comprising constructing a first step signal configured to maintain a correction in the braking phase, and a second signal configured to progressively attenuate the correction in the braking phase, and comparing and integrating the second signal with the list of predetermined input parameters, which includes the static component of raw torque, instantaneous maximum torque applicable to the wheel, speed of the motor vehicle, and deceleration of the motor vehicle; and transmitting the torque setpoint signal to an optimization module to control the automated transmission.
