Abstract: A traveling assistance apparatus recognizes a travel road on which a vehicle is traveling, acquires a traveling state of the vehicle, and determines whether or not the vehicle will deviate from the travel road based on the recognition result of the travel road and the traveling state of the vehicle. The apparatus determines whether to perform, as a prevention method for preventing from the travel road, a method in which either of steering control and brake control of the vehicle is performed, or a method in which a period over which either of the steering control and the brake control is performed and a period over which both of the steering control and the brake control are performed are set. The apparatus sets a steering amount for the steering control and a brake amount for the brake control when the deviation prevention control is performed based on the prevention method.

Abstract: In a wheel bearing assembly, an outer surface of a head portion of a link bolt contacts an inner surface of an end wall portion of a constant-velocity joint outer ring. A shaft portion of a link bolt is press-fit into a penetration hole of the constant-velocity joint outer ring. An external threaded portion of the link bolt is inserted into the central hole of a hub spindle so that the external threaded portion protrudes from an outer end surface of a hub wheel. A lock nut is fastened to the external threaded portion, so that the wheel hub and the constant-velocity joint outer ring are linked, and the first spline and the second spline are meshed so as to be capable of torque transmission.

Abstract: The similarity groups of the pressure differential—current characteristics of solenoid valves are measured in advance, and the measurement results are used to select the solenoid valves to be used for first to fourth pressure increase control valves. Only solenoid valves in the same region in terms of their similarity group of the pressure differential—current characteristics are used for the first to fourth pressure increase control valves. A board on which the first to fourth control valves are mounted is provided with a mark unit that indicates the similarity group of the pressure differential—current characteristics of the first to forth pressure increase control valves. The mark unit includes a resistor. A brake ECU uses the resistance value of the resistor to identify the similarity group of the pressure differential—current characteristics of the first to fourth pressure increase control valves.

Abstract: Power of an engine is divided to be transmitted to a power transmission path to front wheels and a power transmission path to rear wheels by a transfer mechanism where the power has just passed through a transmission so as to be transmitted to front wheels and rear wheels. In addition, a torque reduction and transmission joint is provided on the power transmission path to the rear wheels, so that the rotational drive torque to the rear wheels is reduced to be transmitted thereto. Additionally, constant velocity joints which are provided on the power transmission path to the rear wheels are configured to have a smaller torque transmission capacity and a smaller size than those of constant velocity joints which are provided on the power transmission path to the front wheels.

Abstract: In a brake control apparatus according to the present invention, a range of change in a hydraulic pressure with respect to an amount of current applied by a drive signal from a control circuit of an N/O valve provided in a hydraulic path that extends from a hydraulic pressure generation source to a wheel cylinder is set to be smaller than a range of change in a hydraulic pressure with respect to an amount of current applied to an N/C valve provided in a hydraulic path that extends from the wheel cylinder to a reservoir. Accordingly, it is possible to decrease the hydraulic pressure which is generated when the amount of current is minutely varied in the N/O valve, thereby enhancing controllability of the hydraulic pressure. This enables highly accurate hydraulic control.

Abstract: In a vehicle brake apparatus for executing ABS control to prevent a wheel from locking in such a manner that braking force is controlled so as to keep a slip ratio of a wheel at a target slip ratio so that an excessive drop of a wheel speed from a vehicle body speed is adjusted, an output current for driving a braking actuator is set to a current on which oscillating waves are superimposed during ABS control so that the wheel speed changes to show oscillating waves. Even if the wheel speed once drops to an extent that the slip ratio exceeds the target slip ratio, further decrease of the wheel speed is restricted and the wheel speed turns to an increase soon and this cycle is repeated. Accordingly, there occurs no excessive drop of the wheel speed due to the response delay so that sufficient braking force is generated.
