Abstract

A vehicle power controller for a vehicle including a motor that drives the vehicle, a plurality of sensors and a motor controller, wherein the plurality of sensors includes an accelerator sensor for sensing a position of an accelerator pedal and a brake sensor for sensing a position of a brake pedal, and wherein the motor controller controls torque output of the motor. The vehicle power controller includes three components. The first receives signals from the accelerator sensor and the brake sensor. The second converts the signals for the accelerator sensor and the brake sensor into a torque value, and the third outputs the torque value to the motor controller for controlling the torque output of the motor.
