An automated valet parking system, an automated valet parking method, and an automated valet parking infrastructure, and a vehicle having an automated valet parking feature are disclosed. In particular, the vehicle can autonomously move to and park in a designated parking spot by communicating with the infrastructure. In addition, the vehicle can autonomously move to a pickup area from a parking spot by communicating with the infrastructure.

A vehicle control device stores learning data to correct a parameter used in a control program for controlling a vehicle, determines whether or not a part controlled by the parameter has been replaced; and resets the learning data when determining that the part has been replaced. The vehicle control device determines whether or not the part has been replaced by identifying individuality of the part based on characteristics of a sensor output from a sensor provided in the part.

The present disclosure provides a regenerative brake method of a vehicle, including selecting and inputting one of a plurality of regenerative brake modes by a driver and recognizing the regenerative brake mode selected by the driver, by a controller, determining on/off-state of an active shift control (ASC) function by the controller when the regenerative brake mode selected by the driver is an efficiency-preferred mode or an intermediate mode, controlling a motor speed during regenerative brake and simultaneously performing ASC control for changing a gear stage, by the controller when the ASC function is in the on-state, and controlling gear shift for changing a gear stage without control of a motor speed during regenerative brake, by the controller when the ASC function is in the off-state.

A vehicular breaking force control system includes: a plurality of actuators capable of generating a braking force for a vehicle; a coasting state detection unit configured to detect that a coasting state has been established; a target braking force calculation unit configured to calculate a target braking force on the basis of a state of the vehicle when the coasting state detection unit detects that the coasting state has been established; and a braking force distribution control unit configured to determine a distribution braking force that is a braking force to be caused to be generated by each actuator, such that the distribution braking force is equal to or less than a braking force generable by the actuator and a sum of the distribution braking forces is equal to the target braking force, and to perform control of causing each actuator to generate the distribution braking force.

Longitudinal acceleration, intended travel angle, wheel speed, and requested drive torque signals are measured for a vehicle. The longitudinal acceleration, intended travel angle, wheel speed, and requested drive torque signals are then evaluated. A brake torque is calculated as a function of a propulsive torque, wherein the propulsive torque is produced by a power source for the vehicle. The brake torque is applied when the longitudinal acceleration signal exceeds a longitudinal acceleration threshold, the intended travel angle signal is between intended travel angle limits, the wheel speed signal is less than a minimum speed threshold, the requested drive torque signal exceeds a requested drive torque threshold, and a torque threshold is exceeded.

A second power supply assembly may also be provided that includes a second battery assembly of the plurality of battery assemblies coupled to a second bus that is coupled to a second motor of the plurality of motors. A controller may also be provided that may be configured to vary conduction of electric current from the first battery assembly to the first motor by the first bus based on an operating condition of the second power supply assembly to provide a first input to the first motor that may be different than a second input provided to the second motor by the second battery assembly.

A method and system of controlling a drive-neutral-drive (D-N-D) shift in a multi-speed transmission. The method includes receiving a drive to neutral (D-N) shift request followed by a neutral to drive (N-D) shift request; initiating a drive to neutral (D-N) shift and determining an attained gear; determining a scheduled gear; determining if the scheduled gear is equal to the attained gear; and determining whether an off-going clutch for the drive to neutral (D-N) shift is in a hold state. The method further includes (I) aborting the drive to neutral (D-N) shift when (i) the scheduled gear is not equal to the attained gear and (ii) the off-going clutch for the (D-N) shift is in the hold state, or (II) completing a shift to neutral (N) when the off-going clutch for (D-N) shift is not in the hold state followed by shifting back drive (D).

A control method of controlling an idle stop-and-go (ISG) function of a vehicle provided with a manual transmission includes: determining, by a controller, whether an ISG function activation condition is satisfied based on vehicle running state information of the vehicle; stopping an engine, by the controller, when the ISG activation condition is satisfied; determining, by the controller, whether a first starting condition in which a shift stage of the manual transmission is a neutral stage is satisfied; determining, by the controller, whether a second starting condition in which a shift stage of the manual transmission is a driving stage is satisfied; and restarting, by the controller, the engine when the first starting condition or the second starting condition is satisfied. The vehicle running state information includes: an operation information of the manual transmission and a clutch pedal, and current and recorded vehicle speeds of the vehicle.
