  • Publication number: 20260152092
    Abstract: An electrified vehicle includes a power storage device, a drive device, a relay, a voltage sensor that measures a voltage of the power storage device, a current sensor that measures a charging and discharging current of the power storage device, and a control unit. The control unit acquires a first open circuit voltage (OCV) when the relay is off. The control unit turns on the relay at least once, and then acquires a second OCV when the relay is turned off. The control unit calculates an integrated current value of the power storage device in a period from when the first OCV is acquired to when the second OCV is acquired, based on a measurement value from the current sensor. The control unit calculates full charge capacity of the power storage device based on the integrated current value, the first OCV, and the second OCV.

  • Patent number: 12522295
    Abstract: When an external detection device detects an obstacle (another vehicle (T)) on either a left or right side of the own vehicle (M), a control device of a steering assistance device for a saddle type vehicle controls an assist torque so that a handle operation to the side opposite to the side on which the obstacle is detected becomes heavier (more difficult to turn) than a case in which the obstacle is not detected. The handle operation to the side on which the obstacle is detected makes a handle relatively light (makes it easier to turn) while steering assist is maintained.

  • Patent number: 12511996
    Abstract: The driving assistance ECU includes a speed limit acquisition unit that acquires a speed limit applied to the own vehicle, and a vehicle speed acquisition unit that acquires an own vehicle speed that is a speed of the own vehicle, and performs a first notification (a first speeding notification) when the own vehicle speed is higher than the speed limit. The driving assistance ECU performs additional notification (second speeding notification) when it is determined that a predetermined alert condition is satisfied when the vehicle speed is predicted to increase or increase due to the relative positional relation between the preceding vehicle traveling in front of the own vehicle and the own vehicle in a state where the state where the own vehicle speed is higher than the speed limit continues after the first notification.

  • Publication number: 20250314699
    Abstract: A display system includes an instrument panel, and an ECU controlling the instrument panel. The ECU repeatedly calculates a full charge capacity of a battery by using an amount of change in state of charge (SOC) of the battery and an amount of electricity charged into or discharged from the battery and, based on the full charge capacities calculated, determines a capacity retention ratio (degree of deterioration) to be displayed on the instrument panel. The ECU controls the instrument panel such that the capacity retention ratio determined through a smoothing process performed on the full charge capacities is displayed in an area where the rate of change of the full charge capacities is less than a predetermined value, and such that the capacity retention ratio not subjected to the smoothing process is displayed in an area where the rate of change is more than the predetermined value.
