The setpoint value processing means may be configured to transfer the calculated yaw acceleration setpoint value and translational acceleration setpoint values to the vehicle movement controller, which is configured to actuate one or more of the actuators such that the yaw acceleration setpoint value and the translational acceleration setpoint values are reached.

An automatic parking control unit comprises a recognizing section recognizing an outer world outside a vehicle, a vehicle operation control section performing an operation control on the vehicle, an automatic parking control section performing a parking operation to park the vehicle at a target parking position and a display control section synthesizing images taken by a camera group into an image of a surrounding area of the vehicle and displaying the image on an output device group. The display control section displays an image of the surrounding area of the vehicle and a vehicle body image of the vehicle with a portion of the vehicle made translucent, the portion of the vehicle making a blind area to a driver in the surrounding area of the vehicle and the portion of the vehicle is changed according to a direction in which the vehicle is running.

To implement a configuration to calculate a manual driving recoverable time required for a driver who is executing automatic driving in order to achieve a requested recovery ratio (RRR) for each road section, and issue a manual driving recovery request notification on the basis of the calculated time. A data processing unit is included, which calculates a manual driving recoverable time required for a driver who is executing automatic driving in order to achieve a predefined requested recovery ratio (RRR) from automatic driving to manual driving and determines notification timing of a manual driving recovery request notification on the basis of the calculated time. The data processing unit acquires the requested recovery ratio (RRR) for each road section set as ancillary information of a local dynamic map (LDM), and calculates the manual driving recoverable time for each road section scheduled to travel, using learning data for each driver.

A hybrid power drive system, including a power battery device, a range extender system, and a motor drive system. The power battery device is configured to supply power to the motor drive system. The range extender system includes an engine and a generator. The generator is able to generate power under the driving of the engine to supply the power to the motor drive system and/or charge the power battery device. The hybrid power drive system further includes a vehicle control unit configured to control the engine and/or generator of the range extender system to generate a driving force. The range extender system is mechanically connected to a main coupling mechanism to transmit the generated driving force to a main drive axle of a vehicle by means of the main coupling mechanism to drive wheels on both sides of the axle to rotate. Also provided is a vehicle having the hybrid power drive system. According to the hybrid power drive system and the vehicle having same, the vehicle control unit is utilized to control the engine and/or generator of the range extender system to generate the driving force for different application operating conditions, and thus the economy of the vehicle can be effectively improved.

Provided is a vehicle control method for protecting a vehicle and a driver during forward driving while in reverse gear of an electric vehicle, the vehicle control method including: detecting a gear position of a vehicle; generating a negative torque command to a motor of the vehicle by detecting the gear position as R stage; detecting a vehicle speed of the vehicle; and displaying a warning light or generating a warning sound through a cluster of the vehicle when the vehicle speed is detected as a positive vehicle speed.

A driver assist system for a vehicle includes a vehicle speed sensor disposed at a vehicle. An ECU includes a processor for processing sensor data generated by the vehicle speed sensor. The ECU, responsive to processing at the ECU of sensor data generated by the vehicle speed sensor, determines speed of the vehicle. The ECU, responsive to determining that the speed of the vehicle reaches a vehicle soft lock speed, automatically enables a vehicle speed soft lock. The ECU, responsive to the vehicle reducing speed to the vehicle soft lock speed by coasting, maintains the current vehicle speed at the vehicle soft lock speed. The ECU, responsive to the speed of the vehicle increasing a multiple of a vehicle speed increment above the vehicle soft lock speed, automatically sets an increased vehicle soft lock speed that is the multiple of the vehicle speed increment above the vehicle soft lock speed.

A parking assist system includes: a control device configured to execute a driving process for autonomously moving a vehicle to a target position; a steering operation member configured to receive a steering operation performed by an occupant; a vehicle state detecting device; and a notification device configured to make a notification to the occupant. In the driving process, the control device executes vehicle speed control and steering control. When, during execution of the driving process, the control device determines that the vehicle is a suspension state in which the driving process should be temporarily suspended, the control device causes the notification device to output a prescribed notification and executes a suspension process. In the suspension process, the control device executes the vehicle speed control to stop the vehicle and stops the steering control.

A parking assist system includes a control device. The control device continues an automatic parking process as a driver releases an operation on a brake pedal in a case where an obstacle is detected in a suspension area and an operation amount of the brake pedal has been equal to or more than a second threshold. The control device causes a brake device to stop a vehicle with a second brake force and suspends the automatic parking process in a case where the obstacle is detected in the suspension area and the operation amount of the brake pedal is less than the second threshold. The control device causes the brake device to stop the vehicle and cancels the automatic parking process in a case where the obstacle is detected in a cancellation area and the operation amount of the brake pedal is less than a first threshold.
