  • Patent number: 11921501
    Abstract: An automatic driving system includes a control device that controls automatic driving of a vehicle, and a storage device that contains external environment information indicating an external environment of the vehicle. A driving transition zone is a zone in which a driver of the vehicle takes over at least a part of driving of the vehicle, from the control device. A termination target velocity is a target velocity of the vehicle at an end point of the driving transition zone. The control device variably sets the termination target velocity, depending on the external environment at the end point or the external environment surrounding the end point. Then, the control device controls the velocity of the vehicle in the driving transition zone, such that the velocity of the vehicle at the end point is the termination target velocity.

  • Publication number: 20230278414
    Abstract: When a control device allows a shift speed formed by a transmission to transition from a pre-shift shift speed to a post-shift shift speed by performing engagement of an engagement-side engagement device and disengagement of a disengagement-side engagement device, the control device allows a torque phase in which a torque-sharing ratio between the engagement-side engagement device and the disengagement-side engagement device changes to proceed by performing engagement control in which transmission torque of the engagement-side engagement device is allowed to gradually increase. During proceeding of the torque phase, the control device controls output torque of a rotating electrical machine such that a rotational speed of an input member approaches a target rotational speed determined based on a pre-shift synchronous rotational speed.

  • Publication number: 20220388794
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a processing method simulates conveyance of at least one web sheet conveyed in a conveying direction along a conveyance path from an unwinder to a winder. The processing method sets a conveyance velocity along the conveying direction as a velocity of a distal end node, which is an analysis node located at a distal end of the web sheet in the conveying direction. After setting the conveyance velocity to the distal end node, the distal end node is deleted based on a movement of the distal end node by a prescribed distance. The processing method updates the distal end node to an analysis node newly located at a distal end of the web sheet based on the deletion of the distal end node.
