Provided is a vehicle control device which makes it possible, in a redundant configuration, to make use of a normally operating part in a failed system. A vehicle control device having a redundant configuration includes a task switching function unit configured to switch tasks to be executed when an abnormality is detected. The task switching function unit being configured to, when a diagnostic function unit determines that an abnormality has occurred in a unit of a host system, cause the unit of the failed system to stop calculation of control variable, and stop drive control for a control object, and then execute calculation other than the calculation of the control variable of the host system, and the drive control for an electric motor, so that the calculation unit of the failed system can take over at least a part of calculation of a normal system or another on-vehicle device.

A vehicle control device includes an external situation recognition unit configured to recognize an external situation around a vehicle to recognize a traffic participant, an action schedule acquisition unit configured to acquire a first action schedule of the vehicle, an action schedule notification unit configured to notify a terminal possessed by the traffic participant of the first action schedule of the vehicle to request an approval of the first action schedule, a receiver configured to receive the approval of the first action schedule from the terminal; and an execution controller configured to execute an operation of the vehicle in accordance with the first action schedule when the receiver receives the approval of the first action schedule from the terminal and to suppress the operation of the vehicle in accordance with the first action schedule when the receiver does not receive the approval of the first action schedule from the terminal.

An apparatus for controlling driving of a vehicle includes a communicator that receives autonomous driving data of another vehicle, a sensor that obtains surrounding environment information and manual driving data of a subject vehicle, and a controller that obtains autonomous driving data of the subject vehicle based on the surrounding environment information and determines whether to switch to autonomous driving of the subject vehicle based on the autonomous driving data and manual driving data of the subject vehicle and the autonomous driving data of the another vehicle.

An autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle may improve the overall safety of other vehicles by determining an action of a proximate vehicle based on sensor data and determining one or more expected visual cues associated with the determined action. One or more images of the proximate vehicle may then be used to detect a difference between expected visual cues and the captured images. Detected differences may be used to notify one or more entities that can then take corrective actions.

A system that detects and reduces impaired driving includes a first sensor that detects information indicative of a sleep pattern of a user, and a second sensor that detect vehicle operation information. The system also include a mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor. The mobile electronic device includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine that the user is impaired based on the information indicative of the sleep pattern of the user, and determine that a vehicle is in operation based on the vehicle operation information. The instructions also cause the processor to perform an action to reduce impaired driving in response to determining that the user is impaired and that the vehicle is in operation.

The present disclosure discloses a control method and device for automated guided vehicle, and automated guided vehicle. By utilizing the coupling relation between the turntable and the chassis, a disturbance to the chassis electromechanical control subsystem is compensated by using a feedback signal in the turntable electromechanical control subsystem, or a disturbance to the turntable electromechanical control subsystem is compensated by using a feedback signal in the chassis electromechanical control subsystem, so that high-precision movement control of the turntable and the chassis is realized.

One or more devices, systems, and/or methods for controlling a motor vehicle based upon wind are provided. For example, a first measurement of wind detected by a first sensor coupled to the motor vehicle may be received from the first sensor. A second measurement of wind associated with a location of the motor vehicle may be received from a server. A wind effect (e.g., cost, inefficiency, danger, etc.) on the motor vehicle may be determined based upon the first measurement of wind and/or the second measurement of wind. A corrective action for the motor vehicle may be determined based upon the wind effect, and may be implemented on the motor vehicle.

A system for detecting a vehicular collision (i) receives internal data from at least one internal sensor of a vehicle; (ii) receives external data from at least one external sensor; (iii) determines that a vehicle collision is imminent based upon the received external data; (iv) determines positional information for at least one occupant of a vehicle; and (v) automatically engages an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle system to mitigate at least one of vehicle damage and occupant injury caused by the vehicle collision. As a result, the potential injury to at least one occupant is reduced. The system may also utilize vehicle occupant positional data, and internal and external sensor data to detect potential imminent vehicle collisions, take corrective actions, automatically engage autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle features, and/or generate virtual reconstructions of the vehicle collision.

A vehicular driving assistance system is operable to control driving of a vehicle when operating in a driving assist mode. When the vehicular driving assistance system is not operating in the driving assist mode, a driver controls driving of the vehicle. The system identifies the driver and receives information pertaining to operation by the identified driver of the vehicle while the vehicle is driven by the identified driver. The system generates first and second personalized parameter sets for the identified driver when the driver drives the vehicle during respective first and second driving conditions. When the system is operating in the driving assist mode and the identified driver is present in the vehicle, and responsive to a current driving condition of the vehicle corresponding to one of the determined driving conditions, the system controls the vehicle in accordance with the respective generated personalized parameter set for that driving condition.

An autonomous parking control device executes vehicle traveling control that calculates a command value of a propulsive force based on an operating state, and moves the vehicle to a target position autonomously by controlling a propulsive force generating device in accordance with the command value. The control device executes an additional command value varying process of adding a predetermined additional command value to the command value when the vehicle stops due to the propulsive force being insufficient during the vehicle traveling control, and decreasing or keeping the additional command value by a predetermined degree of suppression, when the vehicle which is stopped is started. Here, when executing the additional command value varying process in the first position far from the target position, the degree of suppression is set to be smaller as compared with a case of executing the process in a second position close to the target position.
