Abstract

A vehicle driving control method depending on a baby mode, may include, when the baby mode is activated, receiving information on a state of a vehicle seat, correcting a center state of charge (SOC) value of a battery of the vehicle based on the information on the state of the vehicle seat, determining a state of a transmission of the vehicle, and performing regenerative brake and brake pedal stroke (BPS) scale/filtering correction control or an electric vehicle (EV) mode and accelerator position sensor (APS) scale/filtering correction control based on the state of the transmission of the vehicle and the state of the vehicle seat.

Claims (36)

1. A vehicle driving control method depending on a baby mode, the method comprising:

in a response that the baby mode is activated, receiving information on a state of a vehicle seat;

correcting a center state of charge (SOC) value of a battery of a vehicle according to the information on the state of the vehicle seat;

determining a state of a transmission of the vehicle; and

performing regenerative brake and brake pedal stroke (BPS) scale/filtering correction control or an electric vehicle (EV) mode and accelerator position sensor (APS) scale/filtering correction control according to the state of the transmission of the vehicle and the state of the vehicle seat.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the correcting the center SOC value of the battery of the vehicle according to the information on the state of the vehicle seat includes down-correcting the center SOC value upon determining that the vehicle seat is in a looking-ahead state.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the performing regenerative brake reinforcing and BPS scale/filtering correction control or EV mode reinforcing and APS scale/filtering correction control according to the state of the transmission of the vehicle and the state of the vehicle seat includes:

up-controlling an EV line in a response that the transmission is in an R stage; and

correcting an APS scale and filtering in the response that the transmission is in the R stage.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the performing regenerative brake reinforcing and BPS scale/filtering correction control or EV mode reinforcing and APS scale/filtering correction control according to the state of the transmission of the vehicle and the state of the vehicle seat includes:

down-controlling the center SOC and up-controlling a regenerative brake limit in a response that the transmission is not in an R stage; and

correcting a BPS scale and filtering in the response that the transmission is not in the R stage.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the state of the transmission of the vehicle includes determining when the transmission of the vehicle is in an R stage in a response that the vehicle seat is in a looking-ahead state.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the correcting the center SOC value of the battery of the vehicle according to the information on the state of the vehicle seat includes up-correcting the center SOC in a response that the vehicle seat is in a looking-back state.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the performing regenerative brake reinforcing and BPS scale/filtering correction control or EV mode reinforcing and APS scale/filtering correction control according to the state of the transmission of the vehicle and the state of the vehicle seat includes:

up-controlling a regenerative brake limit in a response that the transmission of the vehicle is in an R stage; and

correcting a BPS scale and filtering in the response that the transmission of the vehicle is in the R stage.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the performing regenerative brake reinforcing and BPS scale/filtering correction control or EV mode reinforcing and APS scale/filtering correction control according to the state of the transmission of the vehicle and the state of the vehicle seat includes:

up-controlling an EV line in a response that the center SOC is up-corrected and the transmission of the vehicle is not in an R stage; and

correcting APS scale and filtering in the response that the center SOC is up-corrected and the transmission of the vehicle is not in the R stage.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the state of the transmission of the vehicle includes determining when the transmission of the vehicle is in an R stage in a response that the vehicle seat is in a looking-back state.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the method of claim 1 .

11. A vehicle driving control apparatus of receiving information on activation of a baby mode, information on a state of a vehicle seat, and information on a transmission of a vehicle, the vehicle driving control apparatus comprising:

a controller including a memory and a processor,

wherein the controller is configured to correct a center state of charge (SOC) value of a battery of the vehicle according to the information on the state of the vehicle seat;

wherein the controller is configured to up-control a regenerative brake limit in a response to the center SOC value of the battery of the vehicle;

wherein the controller is configured to up-control an EV line in a response to the center SOC value of the battery of the vehicle; and

wherein the controller is configured to perform regenerative brake reinforcing and BPS scale/filtering correction control or EV mode reinforcing and APS scale/filtering correction control according to the state of the transmission of the vehicle and the state of the vehicle seat.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the controller down-corrects the center SOC value upon determining that the vehicle seat is in a looking-ahead state.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the controller corrects an APS scale and filtering in a response that the transmission is in an R stage.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the controller corrects a BPS scale and filtering in a response that the transmission is not in an R stage.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the controller is configured to determine when the transmission of the vehicle is in an R stage in a response that the vehicle seat is in a looking-ahead state.

16. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the controller up-corrects the center SOC in a response that the vehicle seat is in a looking-back state.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the controller corrects a BPS scale and filtering in a response that the transmission of the vehicle is in an R stage.

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the controller up-corrects the center SOC and corrects the APS scale and filtering in a response that the transmission of the vehicle is not in an R stage.

19. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the controller determines when the transmission of the vehicle is in an R stage in a response that the vehicle seat is in a looking-back state.
