Abstract: Provided is an electrified vehicle including a motor and a transmission, and a control method thereof. The electrified vehicle is caused to travel forward when forward gear is achieved and the electrified vehicle is caused to travel backward when reverse gear is achieved while the motor is performing forward rotation. When the transmission is switched to reverse gear while the electrified vehicle is traveling forward, or when the transmission is switched to forward gear while the electrified vehicle is traveling backward, fail-safe control to allow reverse rotation of the motor is executed, thereby suppressing a great shock from being generated in the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle evaluation system includes processing circuitry and a memory device. The memory device stores data of a pretrained model. The pretrained model is a model trained by supervised learning to generate operation data from training sound data. The operation data is data indicating changes in operation information in a measurement operation pattern. The processing circuitry is configured to perform a generation process and an evaluation process. The generation process is a process of outputting generated data which is data of operation information generated by inputting the evaluation data to the pretrained model. The evaluation data includes evaluation sound data recorded while operating a target vehicle in the measurement operation pattern. The evaluation process is a process of comparing the operation data with the generated data and evaluating the target vehicle in accordance with the magnitude of a difference therebetween.

Abstract: A status detection system includes a connection cable, a first detection unit, a second detection unit, and a determination unit configured to make determination on an overall connection status among a power storage vehicle, an electrified vehicle, and the connection cable based on a detection result from the first detection unit and a detection result from the second detection unit.
