  • Publication number: 20240174263
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control system. The vehicle control system includes an autonomous driving control system that controls autonomous driving of the vehicle, and a safety control system that communicates with the autonomous driving control system and stops the vehicle when the autonomous driving control system fails or when communication is abnormal. The safety control system notifies the autonomous driving control system of the contents of the failure when a failure of a part of the function of the safety control system occurs. The autonomous driving control system sets a traveling route to a destination during the autonomous driving in accordance with the contents of the failure.

  • Publication number: 20220194364
    Abstract: The driver assistance system according to the present disclosure extracts, from information relating to a peripheral situation of the vehicle, risk target information relating to a risk target that is an existence causing a collision risk to the vehicle, obtains influence factor information relating to an influence factor that is a factor existing separately from the risk target and influencing the collision risk, determines a risk value obtained by quantifying the collision risk based on the risk target information and the influence factor information, and determines, based on the risk value, a manipulated variable of an actuator for controlling movement of the vehicle so as to decrease the collision risk.

  • Patent number: 9346369
    Abstract: A charging device is provided with a charger, a charging time setting unit and a usage latency calculation unit. The charger is configured to charge a vehicle battery. The charging time setting unit sets a charging time for charging the vehicle battery. The usage latency calculation unit calculates a latency of usage of the charger. The usage latency is a time between an end time of charging of a first vehicle connected to the charger and a start time of charging of a second vehicle connected to the charger and charged after the first vehicle. The charging time setting unit compares the usage latency with a first threshold time and a second threshold time shorter than the first threshold time. The charging time setting unit sets the charging time in accordance with whether or not the usage latency is between the first and second threshold times.
