Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for controlling a hybrid electric vehicle using a driving tendency are provided. The method includes determining a driving tendency level based on data to determine a driving tendency of a driver and determining a target engine torque using an engine torque map based on a vehicle speed and a required torque. Whether the driving tendency level corresponds to a predetermined level is determined as well as whether the required torque is equal to or greater than a torque that corresponds to an optimal operating point of an engine when the driving tendency level corresponds to the predetermined level. The target engine torque is then adjusted when the required torque is equal to or greater than the torque that corresponds to the optimal operating point of the engine.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling a hybrid electric vehicle using a driving tendency, comprising: determining, by a controller, a driving tendency level based on data to determine a driving tendency of a driver; determining, by the controller, whether an engine start condition is satisfied in a state in which an engine is stopped; and performing, by the controller, an engine start control when the engine start condition is satisfied, wherein the engine start condition is satisfied when power required by the driver is equal to or greater than a first threshold value, and the first threshold value is set based on the driving tendency level; wherein the engine start condition is satisfied when accumulated driving energy is equal to or greater than a second threshold value, the accumulated driving energy is calculated based on required power during a predetermined time in a section in which a change rate of a position value of an accelerating pedal is a positive value, and the second threshold value is set based on the driving tendency level. 2. The method for controlling a hybrid electric vehicle using a driving tendency of claim 1 , further comprising: determining, by the controller, whether an engine stop condition is satisfied in a state in which the engine starts; and performing, by the controller, an engine stop control when the engine stop condition is satisfied, wherein the engine stop condition is satisfied when power required by the driver is less than or equal to a third threshold value, and the third threshold value is set based on the driving tendency level.
