  • Publication number: 20240208484
    Abstract: A processor is capable of executing low SOC control to set a particular target SOC, which is a target SOC for when a vehicle traveling from a first specific position along a first journey route arrives at a second specific position, to a value lower than the normal target SOC. The particular target SOC of the vehicle executing the low SOC control is a value of the EV-SW permissible SOC or greater in cases in which a prohibition frequency is a first threshold or greater, with the prohibition frequency being derived based on a total value of prohibition points representing the vehicle being prohibited from entering the EV priority mode due to the low SOC control.

  • Publication number: 20230382415
    Abstract: A control device is provided to make recognize an occupant that an operation by the occupant may affect an anti-fog performance of an air conditioner unit, and to control the anti-fog performance of the occupant's own will. When the occupant operates an air conditioner operation panel during self-driving in LV3 and when the operation possibly lowers the anti-fog performance of the air conditioner unit, the occupant is notified of; information that the operation possibly lowers the anti-fog performance; and information to preannounce lowering of the self-driving level to LV2 after elapse of a predetermined time. When the operation is cancelled before elapse of the predetermined time, the notification is terminated and the self-driving in LV3 is maintained. When the operation is not cancelled before elapse of the predetermined time, the self-driving level is switched to LV2 and an air-conditioning state is switched according to the operation.

  • Publication number: 20230062344
    Abstract: Provided is a frequency determination unit that determines whether a prohibition frequency at which a drive source control unit prohibits a vehicle from being put in an EV priority mode is equal to or higher than a second threshold value when the vehicle has traveled between a predetermined location and a destination in the past in a state in which a specific target SOC is set to a value lower than a EV-SW permission SOC. When the frequency determination unit determines that the prohibition frequency is equal to or higher than the second threshold value and when the vehicle travels between the predetermined location and the destination, a low SOC control unit adjusts at least one of the specific target SOC and the EV-SW permission SOC such that the specific target SOC becomes a value that is equal to or higher than the EV-SW permission SOC.
