  • Patent number: 12698652
    Abstract: A vehicle door control device controlling a motor and a door lock device of a door. During a closing operation of the door based on a closing operation command signal, the motor is driven to cause the door to perform the closing operation until shift of a latch mechanism from the unlatching state to the half-latching state is detected. The latch mechanism is shifted from the half-latching state to the full-latching state by starting driving of the door lock device simultaneously with or before or after completion of the closing operation of the door. When the shift of the latch mechanism from the half-latching state to the full-latching state is detected, position correction control of correcting a position of the door by driving the motor such that a force in an opening direction acts on the door is executed.

  • Publication number: 20240110425
    Abstract: A vehicle door control device is provided to a vehicle including a door and a drive device. The vehicle door control device executes door control processing when the door moves in a closing direction from a stopped state in a state where a closing operation command signal for commanding a closing operation of the door is not received. In the door control processing, the vehicle door control device executes a braking mode, in which a braking force is applied to the door by regenerative braking action of a motor, when the door opening degree is less than the determination opening degree, and executes a closing operation mode, in which the door performs the closing operation such that a moving speed of the door is constant, when the door opening degree is equal to or greater than the determination opening degree.
