  • Publication number: 20200324748
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vehicle control device that can reduce the delay in the deceleration response of a vehicle to a deceleration command. The present invention modifies the distribution ratio of brake fluid pressure between front brakes and rear brakes on the basis of lateral motion information, vehicle information, and a collision risk or a traveling scene obtained from information pertaining to the external surroundings. The brake fluid pressure is distributed to only one of the front brakes or the rear brakes.

    Abstract: Provided are: a device and a method for controlling vehicle movement, with which it is possible to suppress causing uncomfortableness to vehicle occupants and causing unstable behavior during turning by automatic travel control; and a device and a method for generating a target course. In a vehicle capable of automatically controlling lateral acceleration occurring in the vehicle, the present invention controls the acceleration occurring in the vehicle such that jerk, which is the change over time of acceleration, becomes the greatest in a region where the lateral acceleration that occurs upon entering a curve is equal to or less than half the acceleration during normal turning, and the jerk decreases as the acceleration increases.

  • Patent number: 10507839
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling a vehicle is proposed. Detection of a traffic light along the trajectory of a cruising vehicle and a determination of current and future traffic light statuses is performed. It is determined whether the vehicle can arrive at the traffic light during a passing status in accordance with an adaptation of the kinematic vehicle state. Signals are provided via a human 10 machine interface corresponding to various kinematic vehicle state adaptation scenarios in order to enable an arrival at the traffic light during a passing status. In response to the respective human machine interface signals, control of the vehicle can be performed accordingly.
