Publication number: 20230090665Abstract: A travel controller executes a first correction process on a request value when the vehicle is traveling on an uphill road, and executes a second correction process on the request value when the vehicle is traveling on a downhill road. The first correction process corrects the request value such that the traveling speed is higher than that in a case in which the first correction process is not executed. The second correction process corrects the request value such that the traveling speed is lower than that in a case in which the second correction process is not executed. If hard braking of the vehicle is requested during execution of the first correction process, the travel controller sets a correction amount of the request value to a lower value than that in a case in which hard braking of the vehicle is not requested.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicants: ADVICS CO., LTD., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shogi FUKUKAWA, Michihiro OTSUBO, Akitsugu SAKAI, Kazuki MIYAKE

Patent number: 11541857Abstract: In the case that the road surface is determined to have different friction coefficients on the left and right wheels, this braking control device performs antiskid control for adjusting the increase slope of front wheel braking torque on the side with the higher friction coefficient. A steering angle sensor detects the steering angle, and a yaw rate sensor detects the yaw rate. The device calculates a reference turning amount on the basis of the steering angle, calculates an actual turning amount on the basis of the yaw rate, and sets the increase slope on the basis of the deviation between the reference turning amount and the actual turning amount. Also, if this deviation becomes larger, a correction is made such that the set increase slope becomes smaller. Further, if the deviation becomes smaller, a correction is made such that the set increase slope becomes larger.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2018Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: ADVICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Masato Terasaka, Chisa Kitahara
