Driving safety and comfort enhancements through efficient usage of e-powertrain functions

The paper shows how different possibilities of electrified propulsion can bring more benefit into the vehicle regarding driving comfort, driving safety and driving pleasure without additional components. Complex control functionalities of electric motors in the propulsion system and their effects on the vehicle behavior are explained. It is shown, how advanced control functions can influence steering behavior, movements in the vehicle structure and the response behavior of component operation in a positive way. The shown robust technology with the cross-linked functions is versatile with different potentials for diverse drivetrain configurations. The paper demonstrates how to let the physical propulsion system untouched and takes into account the interaction of all components of the entire vehicle. First tests, simulation and validation results are presented. This increases safety and comfort aspects but also more fun to drive and generate `the electric smile´ on the customers face.
