  • Publication number: 20220147921
    Abstract: The delivery support device includes: a reception destination information acquisition section configured to acquire reception destination information for a package for delivery; a delivery route setting section configured to set a delivery route for a delivery vehicle based on the reception destination information acquired by the reception destination information acquisition section; a delivery acceptance availability determination section configured to acquire a delivery acceptance availability status for a reception destination and determine whether or not it will be possible to hand over the package for delivery based on the delivery acceptance availability status; and a resetting section configured to eliminate the reception destination from the delivery route and reset the delivery route in cases in which the delivery acceptance availability determination section has determined that it will not be possible to hand over the package for delivery.

  • Patent number: 11220257
    Abstract: An autonomous parking control device executes vehicle traveling control that calculates a command value of a propulsive force based on an operating state, and moves the vehicle to a target position autonomously by controlling a propulsive force generating device in accordance with the command value. The control device executes an additional command value varying process of adding a predetermined additional command value to the command value when the vehicle stops due to the propulsive force being insufficient during the vehicle traveling control, and decreasing or keeping the additional command value by a predetermined degree of suppression, when the vehicle which is stopped is started. Here, when executing the additional command value varying process in the first position far from the target position, the degree of suppression is set to be smaller as compared with a case of executing the process in a second position close to the target position.

  • Patent number: 11180147
    Abstract: When having determined that an operation of an accelerator operator is initiated at a first timing and the operation amount continues to increase until a second specific timing arrives to become constant at a second timing, vehicle control means which a vehicle control apparatus comprises executes driving force control in such a manner that a time-differential value of controlled driving force during a first period from the second timing to a first terminal timing matches with a time-differential value of controlled driving force at the second specific timing as well as executes braking force control in such a manner that a time-differential value of the controlled braking force during the first period becomes a value more than or equal to a sum of a time-differential value of the controlled braking force at the second specific timing and a time-differential value of operation driving force at the second specific timing.

  • Patent number: 11173909
    Abstract: When having determined that an operation of a brake operator is initiated at a first timing and the operation amount continues to increase until a second specific timing arrives to become constant at a second timing, vehicle control means which a vehicle control apparatus comprises executes braking force control in such a manner that a time-differential value of controlled braking force during a first period from the second timing to a first terminal timing matches with a time-differential value of controlled braking force at the second specific timing as well as executes driving force control in such a manner that a time-differential value of the controlled driving force during the first period becomes a value less than or equal to a sum of a time-differential value of the controlled driving force at the second specific timing and a time-differential value of operation braking force at the second specific timing.

  • Publication number: 20200198624
    Abstract: A vehicle travel assist device includes a control device that controls travel of a vehicle, and a memory device in which travel state information of the vehicle is stored. The control device executes vehicle guidance control that guides the vehicle to a target stop position based on the travel state information. During the vehicle guidance control, the control devices executes driving force increase control that increases a driving force such that a wheel of the vehicle climbs over a difference-in-level. The control device variably sets an increase rate of the driving force in the driving force increase control according to a remaining distance to the target stop position. The increase rate in a case where the remaining distance is a first distance is higher than the increase rate in a case where the remaining distance is a second distance shorter than the first distance.
