Abstract

A method of controlling implementation of a drift driving state of a vehicle, may include a slip inducement step, wherein in a state that drift mode is selected, when a vehicle enters into rotary driving and is in a power-on state, a controller reduces front wheel distribution torque of all-wheel drive (AWD) system in comparison to cases other than the drift mode; a slip torque control step, wherein when a rear wheel slip of the vehicle is generated, the controller allows the vehicle to enter into drifting by adding slip control torque according to lateral acceleration of the vehicle to the front wheel distribution torque; and a drift maintenance step, wherein when a counter steering state by a driver is confirmed, the controller maintains a drift driving state of the vehicle by releasing all the front wheel distribution torque.

Claims (15)

1. A method of controlling implementation of a drift driving state of a vehicle, the method comprising:

reducing, by a controller, front wheel distribution torque of all-wheel drive (AWD) when in a state where a drift mode is selected, the vehicle enters into rotary driving and is in a power-on state;

allowing, by the controller, the vehicle to enter into the drift driving state by adding slip control torque according to lateral acceleration of the vehicle to the front wheel distribution torque when rear wheel slipping of the vehicle is generated; and

maintaining, by the controller, the drift driving state of the vehicle by releasing all the front wheel distribution torque, when a counter steering state by a driver is confirmed.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slip control torque is determined to be decreased as the lateral acceleration of the vehicle increases.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the slip control torque is determined to be decreased as the lateral acceleration of the vehicle increases, and

wherein when the lateral acceleration of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined reference lateral acceleration, the slip control torque is released.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the lateral acceleration of the vehicle is less than a predetermined reference lateral acceleration, the slip control torque is added to the front wheel distribution torque.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slip control torque is determined by multiplying a base slip control torque and a gain.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the base slip control torque is determined by a slip of rear wheels of the vehicle and a slip change rate.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the gain is determined according to the lateral acceleration of the vehicle.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the gain is set to be reduced as the lateral acceleration increases.

9. The method of claim 1 , further including:

applying a damping torque to front wheels of the vehicle for lowering a yaw angular acceleration of the vehicle when the yaw angular acceleration of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined reference angle acceleration.
