DRIVE ASSIST SYSTEM
A drive assist system includes an occupant monitoring apparatus, a determination apparatus, and a drive assist control apparatus. The occupant monitoring apparatus monitors a physical state of an occupant, including a driver, of a vehicle. The determination apparatus determines a traveling state and a stopped state of the vehicle. The drive assist control apparatus executes a control to secure safe traveling upon determining that sleep duration of the occupant is less than a predetermined time and quality of sleep thereof is lower than a predetermined level on the basis of monitoring information acquired by the occupant monitoring apparatus. The drive assist control apparatus includes one or more processors that perform, in a case where determination information from the determination apparatus indicates the stopped state, a control of appropriately restricting the driver's driving operation on the basis of at least the sleep duration and the quality of sleep of the driver.
DRIVING DIAGNOSIS DEVICE AND DRIVING DIAGNOSIS METHOD
A driving diagnosis device includes a detection value recorder configured to acquire and record a detection value detected by a detector provided in a vehicle from a detection value acquirer for acquiring the detection value, the detection value being a physical quantity that changes based on at least one of traveling, steering, and braking of the vehicle or a physical quantity that changes by operation of a predetermined operating member, an information extractor configured to extract a specific detection value that is the detection value specified from the detection value recorder, a KPI acquirer configured to acquire a key performance indicator based on the specific detection value, and a score calculator configured to calculate a driving operation score based on the key performance indicator.
MANAGER, ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT, SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM, AND VEHICLE
A manager installed in a vehicle includes one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to receive a plurality of kinematic plans and identification information of a plurality of advanced driver assistance system applications from the advanced driver assistance system applications, and receive a control status indicating an execution state of control in each of the advanced driver assistance system applications. The one or more processors are configured to perform a first arbitration that arbitrates the kinematic plans.
Work vehicle
This work vehicle (tractor), which is provided with an engine and an accelerator pedal capable of changing the operational state of the engine, and is configured to be free to travel by means of an operation of the accelerator pedal by an operator, is equipped with a display near an operator's seat, said display being configured to be capable of displaying a screen (travel customization screen) for selecting whether or not to allow travel in conjunction with the accelerator.
Electric drive vehicle with low speed creep
Systems and methods to control the vehicle speed of a vehicle includes a controller communicatively coupled to a motor and a brake mechanism. The controller is structured to receive an indication of a desired change in the vehicle speed, activate a motor speed governor responsive to the brake mechanism being in a released state, adjust an output torque responsive to the vehicle speed, wherein as a load corresponding to the motor increases the vehicle speed decreases.
Parking assist apparatus
A parking assist apparatus is configured to execute parking assist control including steering angle automatic control, driving force automatic control and braking force automatic control, the parking assist apparatus being programmed to notify an occupant of an operation request requesting a driving operation of the vehicle to be performed for the parking assist control; and terminate the parking assist control and notify the occupant that the parking assist control is terminated when the driving operation corresponding to the operation request has not been performed by the occupant within a predetermined period.
Vehicle control apparatus
A control apparatus for a vehicle having a step-variable transmission. The control apparatus includes: a shift control portion to temporarily increase an input torque of the step-variable transmission beyond a required value, the shift control portion commanding an engaging-side coupling device which is the coupling device placed in a released state, to be brought into an engaged state, when the input speed has been raised to a predetermined value; and a torque increasing amount setting portion to set an amount of increase of the input torque of the step-variable transmission beyond the required value, such that the amount of increase is smaller when a rate of change of a running speed of the vehicle is relatively low than when the rate of change is relatively high, the rate of change of the running speed having a negative value in a decelerating state of the vehicle.
Driving force control apparatus
A driving force control apparatus including an ECU configured to detect a specific state of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is not traveling even though an accelerator pedal of the vehicle is operated. The ECU of the driving force control apparatus being configured to acquire, when the specific state is detected, a travel distance of the vehicle from a time point when the specific state last ended. The ECU of the driving force control apparatus being configured to start driving-force-limitation mitigation control without requiring the specific state currently detected to continue for a predetermined period or longer, when the travel distance is a distance corresponding to a wheelbase.
AUTOMATED DETECTION OF VEHICLE DATA MANIPULATION AND MECHANICAL FAILURE
Disclosed are systems and methods to detect and identify vehicular anomalies. Techniques to detect and identify the vehicular anomalies include receiving signals from various sensors, grouping the signals into detection sets, detecting anomalies by a comparison to vehicle behavior models, and cross-referencing the detection sets with each other to narrow down and identify the source of the anomaly. The detection sets may be grouped such that facets of vehicle maneuverability are captured and cover causal relations between different maneuverability mechanisms.
Mean rate decision method for clutch motor
A mean rate decision method for a clutch motor is disclosed. The method includes determining whether the clutch motor and a gear sensor are in an electrical failure state; when it is determined the clutch motor and the gear sensor are not in the electrical failure state, determining whether there is a driver's starting intention on the basis of state information on the clutch pedal; setting a target position of the clutch motor according to a pedal setting value set by the clutch pedal; and when it is determined that there is no driver's starting intention and that an actual position of the clutch motor exceeds the target position of the clutch motor, determining a failure of the clutch motor on the basis of an excess movement amount and an excess duration in the excess state.
