Publication number: 20230415738Abstract: A braking/driving force control system, during control for maintaining a target vehicle speed, performs fuel cut and then, when a required braking/driving force for maintaining the target vehicle speed reduces, makes a downshift while fuel cut is continued. The braking/driving force control system causes a brake to generate a braking force such that the sum of a braking/driving force that a powertrain generates and the braking force that the brake generates agrees with the required braking/driving force. Thus, good fuel efficiency and riding comfort are obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomonori NONAMI, Shin NOMURA, Takeshi INOGUCHI, Yoshihide NAKANE

The braking/driving force control system causes a brake to generate a braking force such that the sum of a braking/driving force that a powertrain generates and the braking force that the brake generates agrees with the required braking/driving three. Thus, good fuel efficiency and riding comfort are obtained.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomonori Nonami, Shin Nomura, Takeshi Inoguchi, Yoshihide Nakane
