Abstract

A control method for driving of a vehicle for fail-safe, including: determining, by a controller, whether an interface apparatus selecting a shift range fails; confirming, by the controller, the shift range selected upon the failure determination; determining whether the vehicle is in a parking state when the shift range selected upon the failure determination is out of a D range; as a result of performing the determining of the parking, when the vehicle is in the parking state, guiding, by the controller, a driver to step on an accelerator pedal for forward driving of the vehicle; and after the guiding of the driving, when a manipulated quantity of an accelerator pedal is detected, limiting, by the controller, a torque to reduce an output torque value of the vehicle depending on the manipulated quantity of the accelerator pedal for a predetermined reference time.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control method for driving of a vehicle for fail-safe, comprising:
a failure determining step of determining, by a controller, whether an interface apparatus selecting a shift range fails;
a confirming step of confirming, by the controller, the shift range selected when the failure of the interface apparatus is determined;
a parking determining step to determine whether the vehicle is in a parking state when the shift range selected is out of a D range;
a guiding step in which when the parking determining step determines that the vehicle is in the parking state, the controller guides a driver to step on an accelerator pedal for forward driving of the vehicle; and
a torque limiting step of reducing, when a manipulated quantity of the accelerator pedal is detected after the guiding step, by the controller, an output torque value of the vehicle depending on the manipulated quantity of the accelerator pedal for a predetermined reference time.

2. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the failure determining step determines that a portion of the interface apparatus configured to select the D range fails.

3. The control method of claim 1 , wherein in the torque limiting step, the output torque value of the vehicle is reduced, and a reduced quantity of the output torque is continuously reduced from 100% of an output torque for a reference time from a manipulation starting time of the accelerator pedal and thus the reduced quantity of the output torque is controlled to be 0% after the reference time lapses.

4. The control method of claim 3 , wherein in the torque limiting step, a change slope of the reduced quantity of the output torque for the reference time from the manipulation starting timing of the accelerator pedal is controlled to be changed depending on a change rate of the manipulated quantity of the accelerator pedal.

5. The control method of claim 4 , wherein in the torque limiting step, as the change rate of the manipulated quantity of the accelerator pedal for the reference time from the manipulation starting timing of the accelerator pedal is increased, the change slope of the reduced quantity of the output torque is set to be reduced.

6. The control method of claim 1 , further comprising a check guiding step of guiding a failure check when the failure of the interface apparatus is determined in the failure determining step.

7. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the output torque of the vehicle is normally controlled independent of the failure of the interface apparatus when the confirming step determines that the shift range selected is the D range.
