  • Publication number: 20220219669
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a processor including hardware. When a vehicle equipped with a battery that supplies electric power to a traction motor acquires disaster information indicating that occurrence of a predictable disaster is predicted around a current position while the vehicle is traveling, the processor sets an area that is reachable with a current state of charge of the battery and is a safe area for the disaster, guides the vehicle to the set area, and switches to an energy saving mode in which power consumption is smaller than a normal mode when the vehicle reaches the area.

  • Patent number: 9982775
    Abstract: Ground wires are shared between a drive-side pulley solenoid valve and a driven-side pulley solenoid valve. Therefore, when a disconnection or short circuit occurs in the shared portion, a drive-side pulley and a driven-side pulley show substantially the same behavior. As a result, changes in the speed ratio ?cvt of a continuously variable transmission are suppressed and changes in vehicle behavior are also suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the degradation of drivability during the failure of the solenoid valves involved in power transmission.
