  • Patent number: 11920936
    Abstract: A vehicle controller determines whether the position of a detected travel lane relative to an edge of a road being traveled by a vehicle may differ from an actual position; estimates a first required time for an action, which is required before the vehicle reaches a predetermined location, for the case that the position of the detected lane relative to the edge of the road is correct; estimates a second required time for the action for the case that the position of the detected lane differs from the actual position by a predetermined number of lanes; and sets start timing of the action, based on the second required time, so that the action will finish before the vehicle reaches the predetermined location, when the position of the detected lane may differ from the actual position and the second required time is longer than the first required time.

  • Patent number: 11912272
    Abstract: In a target track generation apparatus, a subject vehicle reference preceding vehicle position calculator calculates a point group of subject vehicle reference preceding vehicle positions representing a history of a relative position of a preceding vehicle in a coordinate system using a current position of a subject vehicle as a reference. A target track generator generates a target track of the subject vehicle, based on the point group of the subject vehicle reference preceding vehicle positions. A correction target track generator generates a correction target track obtained by correcting the target track, based on the point group of the subject vehicle reference preceding vehicle positions or the target track, when it is determined that correction of the target track is necessary.

  • Patent number: 10253876
    Abstract: A vehicle regenerative speed control device is provided for suppressing undershooting, in which an actual transmission input rotational speed falls below a lower-limit rotational speed, when decreasing a transmission input rotational speed based on a request for a decrease in the regeneration amount during regenerative speed control. The vehicle regenerative speed control device includes a controller which performs a regenerative speed control for downshifting a continuously variable transmission to a low gear ratio side and increasing a rotational speed of a transmission input shaft to which a motor generator is connected when there is a request for an increase in the regeneration amount while decelerating.

  • Patent number: 9707860
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a drive source controller configured to control a drive source on the basis of a creep drive force set so that a vehicle does not slip down when being stopped on a gradient road, and a braking force calculator configured to calculate a braking force generated on the basis of a braking operation of a driver. The drive source controller reduces a drive force generated by the drive source when the braking force is larger than the creep drive force when the vehicle is stopped. The creep drive force is a force not smaller than a force balanced with a force acting in a slip-down direction of the vehicle at a minimum gradient at which a hill hold function is activated.
