  • Publication number: 20240101084
    Abstract: A motion manager mounted on a vehicle includes a processor. The processor receives, from an application that has determined that another object will collide with the vehicle, a motion request indicating that an additional braking force is needed, when the vehicle is stopped. The processor generates an instruction value for causing a brake device to generate a greater braking force than before the motion request is received, when the motion request indicating that the additional braking force is needed is received.

  • Publication number: 20240101086
    Abstract: A motion manager that is mounted on a vehicle includes a processor and a memory. The processor receives a motion request that corresponds to an application from individual applications. The processor arbitrates the received motion request. The processor generates, based on an arbitration result, an instruction value of an operation request to be output to a brake control unit. The memory stores, in advance, type information of an actuator to be controlled by the brake control unit. The processor generates the instruction value of the operation request using the type information.

  • Publication number: 20220289219
    Abstract: A manager installed in a vehicle includes: a first accepting unit that accepts a plurality of kinematic plans from a plurality of ADAS applications; an arbitration unit that arbitrates the kinematic plans; a calculation unit that calculates a motion request based on an arbitration result by the arbitration unit; and a distribution unit that distributes the motion request to at least one actuator system, wherein the first accepting unit accepts information relating to the actuator system to which the distribution unit distributes the motion request from the ADAS applications, along with the kinematic plans.
