Patent number: 12122385Abstract: The disclosure provides a vehicle control device and method for controlling a vehicle. The vehicle control device includes a gear shift member, having a parking brake keeping a vehicle in a stationary state, a drive gear keeping driving the vehicle, and a park gear keeping the vehicle in a parked state; a control switch configured to be able to control the parking brake and shift to the park gear; a control member performing following controls when the vehicle is in the parked state: when the control switch is operated for a period of time shorter than a prescribed time, the control member shifts to the park gear and executes linked parking that links an operation of the parking brake, and during the execution of the linked parking, when the control switch is operated for a period of time longer than the prescribed time, the control member releases the parking brake.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2024Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryo Takada, Katsuhito Kambe, Kazuya Moriyama, Naoki Tsuchiya, Fumitaka Abe, Yosuke Horiuchi, Yurina Morimoto, Taichi Kitamura, Shun Saigusa, Ikuo Nonaga

Publication number: 20240326812Abstract: A vehicle control device and method includes: a gear shift member having a parking brake, a drive gear, and a park gear; a hydraulic brake decelerating the vehicle; a vehicle speed detection member; a control switch, which, when pressed, simultaneously activating the parking brake and the park gear; a control member. When the control member determines the vehicle speed exceeds a first threshold during an operation of the control switch, the vehicle remains in a drive gear state, and the hydraulic brake is activated to decelerate the vehicle; when the control member determines the vehicle speed is lower than the first threshold, the vehicle stays in the drive gear state, and the parking brake is activated. When the vehicle speed changes from the first to a second threshold, the hydraulic brake stops operating, the gear shift member shifts to the park gear, and the parking brake is maintained.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryo TAKADA, Katsuhito KAMBE, Kazuya MORIYAMA, Naoki TSUCHIYA, Fumitaka ABE, Yosuke HORIUCHI, Yurina MORIMOTO, Taichi KITAMURA, Shun SAIGUSA, Ikuo NONAGA

Publication number: 20240326772Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a gear changing part having a parking brake holding the vehicle in a stationary state, a driving gear that maintains driving the vehicle, and a parking gear that holds a parked state; a control switch disposed in the gear changing part and able to perform actuation of the parking brake and the parking gear simultaneously through an operation of pressing the control switch; a braking force holding part holding a braking force when the vehicle generates the braking force based on at least one of a driver operating a brake or operating the control switch; and a control part performing: when the control switch is pressed, performing a linked parking control so that the parking brake performs a linked actuation while the gear changing part is shifted to the parking gear. After the linked parking control ends, the holding of the braking force is released.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshimi KANEKO, Taichi KITAMURA, Kazuya MORIYAMA, Yurina MORIMOTO

Publication number: 20230235819Abstract: A vehicle control system is provided. The vehicle control system includes a shift-by-wire device for shifting a shift gear of a speed variator mounted in a vehicle according to a requirement of an electrical signal; a vehicle speed detecting member for detecting a vehicle speed of the vehicle; a seat belt detecting member for detecting whether a seat belt provided in the vehicle is fastened or taken off; a door open/close member for detecting whether a door provided in the vehicle is opened or closed; a presence detecting member for detecting a presence state of a passenger in the vehicle; and an automatic parking control device for controlling the shift-by-wire device to shift the shift gear to a park gear when output results of one of the door open/close member and the presence detecting member, the vehicle speed detecting member, and the seat belt detecting member satisfy predetermined conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yurina MORIMOTO, Taichi KITAMURA, Shinichiro WATANABE, Toshimi KANEKO

Patent number: 11692627Abstract: The disclosure provides a transmission selector for a vehicle. The transmission selector for a vehicle includes: a transmission selector element including a first switch and a second switch, and a control circuit. When the vehicle speed is equal to or less than a first threshold, the control circuit switches the current gear to D in response to the selection operation received by the first switch, and the control circuit switches the current gear to R in response to the selection operation received by the second switch. When the vehicle speed is equal to or less than the first threshold and the vehicle meets the specified conditions, the control circuit controls the vehicle to switch the current gear in response to a long-press operation whose execution of the selection operation received by the first switch or the second switch reaches a first specified time.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshimi Kaneko, Taichi Kitamura, Yurina Morimoto
