Patent number: 11597401Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus makes a drive force of a vehicle equal to an erroneous operation coping drive force which is smaller than an ordinary drive force in a period from a satisfaction of an erroneous operation start condition which is satisfied when an accelerator pedal is operated erroneously to a satisfaction of an erroneous operation end condition which is satisfied when the erroneous operation has ended. The erroneous operation coping drive force is set to a first drive force if the erroneous operation start condition becomes satisfied after a reoperation determination time point at which a time threshold elapses from when the erroneous operation end condition became last satisfied. Meanwhile, the erroneous operation coping drive force is set to a second drive force which is greater than the first drive force if the erroneous operation start condition becomes satisfied before the reoperation determination time point.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takuya kaminade, Masashi Oishi, Takashi Unigame, Yuhi Kishimoto, Yoichi Iwata, Asuka Sato

Publication number: 20230035434Abstract: A vehicle driving assistance device includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute acceleration suppression control for suppressing acceleration of a driver's vehicle in a case where a predetermined prohibition condition is not satisfied when an erroneous acceleration operation precondition is satisfied while a traveling condition is satisfied. The traveling condition is a condition for determining that the driver's vehicle is traveling. The erroneous acceleration operation precondition is a precondition for determining that an acceleration operation is erroneously performed. The acceleration operation is an operation performed by a driver of the driver's vehicle to request the acceleration of the driver's vehicle. The predetermined prohibition condition is based on a relationship between the driver's vehicle and an external environment of the driver's vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ryo ISHII, Takuya KAMINADE, Masashi OISHI, Masaki IKAI

Patent number: 10377382Abstract: A vehicle controller applies a braking force to wheels using a hydraulic braking force generating mechanism and sets a vehicle driving torque, which is generated by an engine, to a second torque which is smaller than a first torque in a normal state, when a switch is switched to an ON state in a state in which a vehicle is traveling and an accelerator is turned on. Then vehicle stops, the vehicle controller implements an EPB mechanical operating state using a mechanical parking brake mechanism. When the switch is switched to an OFF state, the vehicle controller maintains the EPB mechanical operating state until an accelerator pedal operating level reaches “0,” and maintains the vehicle driving torque at the second torque. Then the accelerator pedal operating level reaches “0”, the EPB mechanical operating state is released and the vehicle driving torque is returned to the first torque.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshiyuki Senba, Yoji Mizoguchi, Masashi Oishi, Satoaki Haruyama, Yoshikatsu Oda
