A method for improving the availability of an energy storage or transformation, EST, system of a vehicle is described. The method comprises transferring the EST condition data from the first electronic unit by means of a second data transfer mode, receiving a fault or error regarding the EST condition data in relation to the first data transfer mode, determining whether or not an EST system criterium is achieved, the EST system criterium comprising at least that the EST condition data transferred by the first electronic unit by means of the second data transfer mode is received by the second electronic unit, in response of achieving the EST system criterium, operating the EST system despite the fault or error and using the EST condition data transferred by means of the second data transfer mode.

A system that may include multiple driving related systems that are configured to perform driving related operations; a selection module; multiple fault collection and management units that are configured to monitor statuses of the multiple driving related systems and to report, to the selection module, at least one out of (a) an occurrence of at least one critical fault, (b) an absence of at least one critical fault, (c) an occurrence of at least one non-critical fault, and (d) an absence of at least one non-critical fault; and wherein the selection module is configured to respond to the report by performing at least one out of: (i) reset at least one entity out of the multiple fault collection and management units and the multiple driving related systems; and (ii) select data outputted from a driving related systems.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle, and more particularly to a vehicle control apparatus having a redundant architecture. A vehicle control apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a receiver, configured to receive sensing information from a vehicle sensor; a first electronic controller, configured to generate a first vehicle control command based on the received sensing information; a monitor, configured to monitor whether the first electronic controller is out of order; and a second electronic controller, configured to generate a second vehicle control command based on the received sensing information if the first electronic controller is out of order.

Provided is a vehicle and a method of controlling the same that are capable of detecting a faulty ECU that fails to be switched to a sleep mode, and allowing the faulty ECU to be normally switched to the sleep mode through a rest of the faulty ECU. The method includes performing communication monitoring on a plurality of electronic control units (ECUs) connected to each other through a network; detecting a faulty ECU that does not enter a sleep mode under a sleep mode entry condition from among the plurality of ECUs based on a result of the communication monitoring; and performing a reset on the faulty ECU to allow the faulty ECU to enter the sleep mode.

A drive force control apparatus includes a drive force control section that has a steady drive force, a filtered drive force obtained by performing a filtering process on the steady drive force, and an internal drive force, which is calculated from a traction requested drive force, input thereto, and sets a target drive force based on the steady drive force, the filtered drive force, and the internal drive force. The drive force control section implements post-operation processing after control for causing the internal drive force to be the target drive force ends. In the post-operation processing, a new internal drive force, which is calculated based on a large-small relationship among the steady drive force, the filtered drive force, and the previously calculated internal drive force, is set as the target drive force.

In various examples, an end-to-end perception evaluation system for autonomous and semi-autonomous machine applications may be implemented to evaluate how the accuracy or precision of outputs of machine learning models—such as deep neural networks (DNNs)—impact downstream performance of the machine when relied upon. For example, decisions computed by the system using ground truth output types may be compared to decisions computed by the system using the perception outputs. As a result, discrepancies in downstream decision making of the system between the ground truth information and the perception information may be evaluated to either aid in updating or retraining of the machine learning model or aid in generating more accurate or precise ground truth information.

Aspects of the present invention relate to a method and to a control system for controlling an engine and an electric traction motor of a vehicle, the control system comprising one or more controllers, wherein the control system is configured to: receive an indication of engine speed during engine idling; and control the electric traction motor to reduce a difference between the engine speed and an engine idle speed target

An abnormality of a component can be accurately detected.

An on-vehicle device is an on-vehicle device that is mounted on a vehicle to communicate with a server. The on-vehicle device includes a first information generation unit that generates first information which is information on a state of a first component mounted on the vehicle by using an output of a sensor mounted on the vehicle, and an out-vehicle communication unit that transmits, to the server, the first information and second information which is information on a state of a second component which is a component different from the first component, and receives, from the server, a state signal indicating an abnormal state of the first component calculated by the server based on the first information and the second information.
