    Active Brake Torque Vectoring in Differential Unit

    Torque vectoring differentials can vary the amount of power distributed to each wheel, improving traction. This allows power to be sent nearly instantly to the wheel with grip without using brakes. Torque vectoring differentials work by redistributing torque between wheels using an active braking system to apply different braking forces to each wheel and generate a yaw moment for improved handling. The technology provides advantages like easier turning and less steering effort while requiring additional space and costing more initially than traditional differentials.

    ACTIVE BRAKE TORQUE VECTORING IN

    DIFFERENTIAL UNIT

    SYNOPSIS

    Torque vectoring is a new technology being employed in automobile differentials.


    A differential is used to transfer engine torque to the wheels. Torque vectoring
    technology provides the differential with the ability to vary the amount of power sent to
    each wheel. This method of power transfer has recently become very popular in all-wheel
    drive vehicles.[1] A basic torque vectoring differential can be found on some newer front-
    wheel drive vehicles as well. As technology in the automotive industry improves, more
    and more vehicles are being equipped with torque vectoring differentials.

    INTRODUCTION

    Torque vectoring is the next step in AWD, its contribution being that it can get
    power to any wheel nearly instantly without having to use the brakes or cut power. Most
    current AWD control wheel is spin by breaking a spinning wheel or cutting the power
    from the engine. Torque vectoring is achieved by using redesigned differentials that can
    distribute power to the wheel or wheels that have traction. That means that wheels don't
    need to be stopped, and even better, you won't suffer from a sudden loss of power as
    you're negotiating an unexpected loss in traction. Some systems in use now or being
    developed work on FWD, RWD, and AWD cars, and can get power to any wheel or
    combination of wheels.
    WORKING PRINCIPLE

    The lateral torque vectoring control transfers the torque from the left wheel to the

    right wheel, and vice versa, to generate an amount of braking torque on one wheel while

    generating the same amount of driving torque on the other

    wheel. The control of this type, therefore, can generate the

    yaw moment at any time regardless of the engine torque.

    Another advantage is that it does not affect the total driving

    and braking forces acting on the vehicle: no conflict with

    acceleration and deceleration operations. Although this control affects the steering

    reaction force when applied to the front wheels, it does not produce any adverse effects

    when applied to the rear wheels.

    The lateral braking control applies different braking

    forces to the four wheels independently so as to produce a

    difference in braking force between the left and right wheels,

    which generates the yaw moment. As this control uses braking

    forces, it feels to the driver like deceleration, but the control is

    effective because it can generate yaw moment under a wide range of conditions of

    vehicle operation.
    Unlike passive EDL which applies the brakes to the wheel where it senses

    slippage, this is an active torque distribution where the torque is sent to the outside wheel

    to improve turn in.

    Torque transfer is limited to 50%.
