Patent number: 11951988Abstract: When a vehicle control interface receives information indicating “Forward” from a VP, the vehicle control interface sets a value 0 in a signal indicating a rotation direction of a wheel. When the vehicle control interface receives information indicating “Reverse” from the VP, the vehicle control interface sets a value 1 in the signal indicating the rotation direction of the wheel. When the vehicle control interface receives information indicating “Invalid value” from the VP, the vehicle control interface sets a value 3 in the signal indicating the rotation direction of the wheel. The vehicle control interface provides the signal indicating the rotation direction of the wheel to an ADK.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ikuma Suzuki, Yuta Ohashi

Publication number: 20240101086Abstract: A motion manager that is mounted on a vehicle includes a processor and a memory. The processor receives a motion request that corresponds to an application from individual applications. The processor arbitrates the received motion request. The processor generates, based on an arbitration result, an instruction value of an operation request to be output to a brake control unit. The memory stores, in advance, type information of an actuator to be controlled by the brake control unit. The processor generates the instruction value of the operation request using the type information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, ADVICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuta OHASHI, Kazuki MIYAKE, Atsushi KUCHINOMACHI

Publication number: 20240101084Abstract: A motion manager mounted on a vehicle includes a processor. The processor receives, from an application that has determined that another object will collide with the vehicle, a motion request indicating that an additional braking force is needed, when the vehicle is stopped. The processor generates an instruction value for causing a brake device to generate a greater braking force than before the motion request is received, when the motion request indicating that the additional braking force is needed is received.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, ADVICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuta OHASHI, Kazuki MIYAKE, Yusuke SUETAKE, Atsushi KUCHINOMACHI

Patent number: 11891055Abstract: A vehicle comprises an autonomous driving system and a vehicle platform that controls the vehicle in response to a command received from the autonomous driving system. In the present vehicle, when the autonomous driving system issues a first command to request the vehicle platform to provide deceleration to stop the vehicle and a first signal indicates 0 km/h or a prescribed velocity or less, the autonomous driving system issues a second command to request the vehicle platform to maintain stationary. And after brake hold control is finished, a second signal indicates standstill. Until the second signal indicates standstill, the first command continues to request the vehicle platform to provide deceleration.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ikuma Suzuki, Yuta Ohashi

Patent number: 11787446Abstract: A vehicle is a vehicle on which an autonomous driving kit (ADK) is mountable. The vehicle includes: a vehicle platform (VP) that controls the vehicle in accordance with an instruction from the ADK; and a vehicle control interface that serves as an interface between the ADK and the VP. The VP receives a driver deceleration request in accordance with an amount of depression of a brake pedal by a driver, and receives a system deceleration request from the ADK through the vehicle control interface. During an autonomous mode, the VP specifies the sum of the driver deceleration request and the system deceleration request as a target deceleration of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ikuma Suzuki, Yuta Ohashi

Patent number: 11747812Abstract: When a vehicle control interface receives information indicating “Standstill” from a VP, the vehicle control interface sets a value 2 in a signal indicating an actual moving direction (a signal indicating a moving direction of a vehicle). When the number of wheels rotating in a forward rotation direction is larger than two, the vehicle control interface sets a value 0 in the signal indicating the actual moving direction. When the number of wheels rotating in a reverse rotation direction is larger than two, the vehicle control interface sets a value 1 in the signal indicating the actual moving direction. When the number of wheels rotating in the forward rotation direction is equal to the number of wheels rotating in the reverse rotation direction, the vehicle control interface sets a value 3 in the signal indicating the actual moving direction. The vehicle control interface provides the signal indicating the actual moving direction to an ADK.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ikuma Suzuki, Yuta Ohashi
