  • Publication number: 20240010214
    Abstract: A vehicle information processing system includes a vehicle information processing device mounted on a vehicle, a first external information processing device provided outside the vehicle, a plurality of vehicle control applications configured to output control commands to control target devices of the vehicle, and an arbitration unit provided in at least one of the vehicle information processing device and the first external information processing device. The vehicle control applications are installed in at least one of the vehicle information processing device and the first external information processing device. The arbitration unit is configured to arbitrate the control commands for a predetermined one of the control target devices to determine one control command. The control commands for the predetermined one of the control target devices are obtained by the vehicle control applications.

  • Publication number: 20240015078
    Abstract: An information processing device that performs communication via a network includes: a storage unit that stores a receiving unit that receives data acquired by a device; the data; and past data received by the receiving unit before the data; a calculating unit that calculates a delay time in the network; a determination unit that determines, based on the calculated delay time, one or more past data used for prediction of future data that is not received by the receiving unit from the past data stored in the storage unit; and a predicting unit that predicts the future data using the determined past data.

  • Publication number: 20230254725
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes communication equipment configured to transmit a plurality of signals to a vehicle using a plurality of communication paths, and a processor. The processor is configured to acquire a communication latency for each of the communication paths, and determine a communication path to allocate to each of the signals based on the communication latency that is acquired. The communication equipment is configured to execute transmission of each of the signals to the vehicle using the communication path that is allocated.

  • Patent number: 8267223
    Abstract: In a drive assembly of the invention, a first catch tank is provided above a casing that keeps lubricating oil accumulated in a bottom thereof for immersion of part of a rotor of a motor MG3 and of part of a differential ring gear of a differential gear. The first catch tank temporarily keeps the lubricating oil scooped up from the bottom of the casing by the rotation of the differential ring gear. The lubricating oil kept in the first catch tank is flowed down by the force of gravity and is fed to peripheral bearings. A second catch tank is arranged to temporarily keep the lubricating oil scooped up from the bottom of the casing by the rotation of the rotor of the motor MG3. The lubricating oil kept in the second catch tank is flowed down by the force of gravity and is fed to peripheral bearings.

  • Patent number: 6112611
    Abstract: A curvature of a locus of contact points at a higher torque value is increased such that the torque-dependent characteristic of the working transmission error assumes a minimum value in the vicinity of a working torque value T.sub.1 at the tooth surface position corresponding to the working torque value T.sub.1, in the vicinity of a working torque value T.sub.3 at the tooth surface position corresponding to the working torque value T.sub.3, and in the vicinity of a working torque value T.sub.5 at the tooth surface position corresponding to the working torque value T.sub.5. As a consequence, the change in the working transmission error at the working torque is minimized making it possible to reduce the working transmission error in a wide working torque range.
