A control apparatus to be mounted on a vehicle includes one or more processors, and one or more memories each storing a program to be executed by the one or more processors. The program includes one or more commands. The one or more commands are each configured to cause the one or more processors to: determine whether the vehicle is in an enclosed environment; and execute abnormality notification control to output an abnormality notification based on a result of a power-source-state determination and a result of a presence determination when the one or more processors determine that the vehicle is in the enclosed environment. The power-source-state determination is a determination regarding a state of a power source of the vehicle, and the presence determination is a determination as to whether there is a person inside or outside the vehicle.

Systems and methods are described for electrical power control of a hybrid vehicle. A change in an electrical load of an ancillary component of the vehicle is determined. In response to determining the change in the electrical load of the ancillary component, an electrical load of an electrically heated catalyst of the vehicle is adjusted.

Method for operating a driver assistance system in a motor vehicle wherein an action plan comprising at least one measure for the targeted deceleration of the motor vehicle is determined, as well as predictive route data describing the distance to the coasting destination is determined when the driver ends the activation of the gas pedal and at least one potential coasting destination, which requires deceleration of the motor vehicle, is determined, and said measure is used for the longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle, whereby the measures are selected from the measure group of at least one operation in a free-run operating mode and one operation in a coasting operating mode, whereby a stopping position is determined as the coasting destination and the action plan is determined for the deceleration of the motor vehicle to a complete stop at the stopping position.

A plurality of items includes a first item deliverable to a first delivery destination and a second item deliverable to a second delivery destination. The value of a first vehicle parameter dependent on a mass of the first item and a mass of the second item is calculated for a first delivery route, the first delivery route being configured to stop at the first delivery destination before the second delivery destination to thereby deliver the first item before the second. The value of a first vehicle parameter for a second delivery route is calculated, the second delivery route being configured to stop at the second delivery destination before the first delivery destination to thereby deliver the second item before the first. A delivery route is determined that comprises the first and second delivery destinations that optimizes the value of the first vehicle parameter.

The present disclosure relates to a method and device for warning a user of a vehicle with an energy storage unit against an energy shortage. According to the present disclosure, an energy quantity is determined that is stored in the energy storage unit at a branching point of a path driven on by the vehicle, and a direction option of the vehicle at the branching point is selected. Further, the one route is determined that is associated with the direction option and starts at the branching point, on which the vehicle is able to reach with the lowest expected energy requirement an energy charging location at which the energy storage unit can be charged. The energy requirement is compared with the energy quantity, and a warning indication is outputted with which the user is warned against the direction option if the energy requirement is greater than the energy quantity.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a condition determining unit, a mode switching controller, and a notification controller. The condition determining unit is configured to determine whether enabling conditions set to enable a switching control to an engine stop mode are satisfied. The engine stop mode stops an engine of a vehicle in a driving state. The mode switching controller is configured to perform the switching control to the engine stop mode in response to that the condition determining unit determines that the enabling conditions are satisfied. The notification controller is configured to compare a measured time value and a threshold both related to the enabling condition which the condition determining unit determines as not being satisfied. The notification controller is configured to perform, in response to that the measured time value exceeds the threshold, a control of making notification that the switching control is in a disabled state.

A first, and second twin AC inverters for a hybrid vehicle, whereby, the first and second inverters having a first, and second twin AC hard wire terminal blocks, a cool-down C-D process, and a conventional Engine Control Unit computerized remote-control drive system, whereby, being capable of activating the twin AC terminal blocks for Freeway speed, hills, faster acceleration, and a hybrid vehicle momentum regenerative braking kinetic energy process for: charging a battery-pack, and multiple batteries. The computer being capable of activating the first terminal block, when the cool-down process is to end, and deactivating the second terminal block, when the cool-down process is to begin. The Computer is capable of activating the first, or second terminal blocks, whereby, for operating in conjunction with one another for the Freeway speed for charging the batterypack, including multiple batteries with respect to the above modification.

A control apparatus of a vehicle includes: a steering apparatus (6) including a steering wheel (11) operated in order to turn a vehicle (1) and a steering angle sensor (8) that detects a steering angle of the steering wheel (11), the steering apparatus (6) steering a front wheel (steered wheel) (2) of the vehicle (1) in accordance with operation of the steering wheel (11); and a controller (14) that sets a steering angle acceleration based on the steering angle detected by the steering angle sensor (8) and controls vehicle motion when the steering wheel (11) is operated to be turned. In particular, the controller (14) suppresses a rise of lateral acceleration of the vehicle (1) based on the steering angle acceleration in order to control the vehicle motion.

A vehicle power supply apparatus includes a first power supply system, a second power supply system, a switch, a switch controller, and an assistance controller. The first power supply system includes a first electrical energy accumulator and an electric device coupled thereto. The second power supply system includes an electric motor coupled to an engine, and a second electrical energy accumulator able to be coupled to the electric motor. The switch controller controls the switch to an electrically conductive state on the condition that a motor assistance control is about to be executed. The assistance controller inhibits the motor assistance control on the condition that a charge state and a discharge state of the first electrical energy accumulator become ungraspable.
