Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to a system and a method for operating the vehicle, more particularly, it relates to an autonomous low-speed torque assist system for electric vehicles.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Vehicles such as electric vehicles do not include clutch-based system like conventional vehicles.

The user can be subject to hardships and challenges especially in the parking-lots or navigating through congested traffic further effecting ease of driving for the user. The hardships and challenges faced by the user lead to potential safety concerns such as failure to achieve smooth low-speed movements contributing to situations where drivers may feel less in control and thus potentially rising safety concerns. Further, situations such as managing hill starts or inclines can also be challenging for the user without the aid of a clutch-based system potentially causing difficulty in maintaining control during inclined manoeuvres.
[003] In view of the above, there is a need for a system and method for operating a vehicle to overcome one or more limitations stated above.

[048] In an embodiment, if the user input switch 112 is pressed and gear position is in forward or reverse indicating the user's intention for creep mode, the control unit 108 checks if the user is present on the seat, verifies that the throttle position is at 0% indicating no active throttle input from the user is requested and also verifies that the vehicle 10 speed is less than 5 km/h, the creep mode is activated. The vehicle 10 moves at autonomously at a minimal speed until the user applies throttle or other exit conditions are met. In an embodiment the minimal speed can range between 5 kilometres per hour to 30 kilometres per hour. In another embodiment the minimal speed can have varying range.
[049] In an embodiment the control unit 108 is configured to deactivate the electrical unit 102 to operate in the creep mode when the brake input is provided by the user.
[050] Advantageously, the present invention provides improved handling and improved overall comfort along with having market attractiveness.
