Disclosed herein are an emergency operating system and an emergency operating method for a hybrid vehicle with a damaged bearing of an engine, which are capable of preventing a bearing from being further damaged due to a drive motor and a hybrid starter and generator (HSG) when damage to the bearing installed in an engine is detected and capable of driving the hybrid vehicle and which include a bearing damage detection operation, an engine driving maintaining operation, a first state of charge (SOC) comparison operation, and a first emergency operating operation.

A vehicle control device includes an acceleration rate feedback processor, a target driving force processor, a requested torque processor, a supercharging determination torque processor, a requested speed processor, and a supercharging operation determination processor. The requested torque processor calculates requested torque of an engine on the basis of target torque obtained from a target driving force and a transmission ratio of a transmission. When determining the requested torque is in the vicinity of supercharging determination torque, the acceleration rate feedback processor inhibits calculation of an amount of acceleration rate feedback. When determining that the requested torque is in the vicinity of the supercharging determination torque, the requested speed processor corrects a target speed in accordance with an altitude, to set a requested speed at a smaller value than on flat ground as the altitude becomes higher.

A method for controlling a vehicle active chassis power system includes determining, via a processor, a minimum output voltage/current threshold for an aggregated power supply associated with an active chassis operation, and generating an aggregate State of Function (SoF) indicative of a maximum voltage/current budget for an output of the vehicle active chassis power system. The aggregate SoF is based on a primary power source voltage/current output and a power storage voltage/current output. The method further includes causing to control an active chassis power system actuator based on a minimum voltage/current value associated with the aggregate SoF. Causing to control the active chassis power system actuator can include publishing the aggregate SoF to a braking actuator, a steering actuator, or to a domain controller that actively distributes an aggregated power supply capability SoF to a braking actuator and a steering actuator based on one or more present vehicle states.

The present invention realizes a vehicle control device that, even when power characteristics of a power generation device and a power transmission device changes, senses degradation of vehicle components, corrects a drive instruction to the power transmission device, and is thereby capable of stabilizing vehicle behavior over a long term. The present invention, in a predetermined vehicle environment state, measures fluctuation in drive power and acceleration in a transient region by using vehicle behavior sensors 4, performs comparison with a reference fluctuation, and thereby senses degradation of vehicle components. The drive instruction to the transmission 16-side is corrected in accordance with the degradation of vehicle components that is sensed. Thus, it is possible to stabilize vehicle behavior (performance) over a long term even when, during automated driving, the power characteristics of the drive power source and the transmission 16 change due to factors such as time degradation of vehicle components.

A method for performing rotational speed synchronisation of a first transmission component having a first initial rotational speed with a second transmission component having a second initial rotational speed, so that they rotate with the same final rotational speed during a gear switch from an initial driving gear to a final driving gear in a stepped gear transmission for a hybrid electric or electric drive train having an electric traction motor. The method including calculating a total frictional work resulting from performing the total rotational speed synchronisation by means of a mechanical synchroniser of the stepped gear transmission only, and if the calculated total frictional work exceeds a maximal frictional work of the mechanical synchroniser, performing the rotational speed synchronisation by means of both the electric traction motor and the mechanical synchroniser.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling and diagnosing a mechanical vehicle component. In one example, a method may include determining an input device state and an electric machine torque at a diagnostic controller, and identifying a fault condition based on these determinations. Further, the diagnostic controller may trigger an active fault state of the mechanical vehicle component to avoid unintended vehicle acceleration, particularly at low speeds.

A method for operating a motor vehicle that has an internal combustion engine and an automated manual transmission, connected between the engine and a drive output. The transmission includes a shifting element group with a plurality of shifting elements. The transmission further includes an oil pump and an electric machine, both of which are integrated in the transmission and coupled to an input shaft of the transmission. The oil pump delivers a flow of transmission oil for cooling the shifting element group and cooling the electric machine, and the shifting elements of the shifting element group are controlled and shifted by an actuator system that is independent of the oil pump. When the motor vehicle is at rest, the oil pump is driven by the electric machine in order to cool the electric machine while the motor vehicle is at rest.

A vehicle-mounted equipment control device includes a controller configured to cause equipment of any of a headlight, a wiper, and an air-conditioning device to continue a visual securing operation for securing visibility of a driver of a vehicle even after driving control of the vehicle is switched from automated driving control to manual driving control regardless of an operation mode of the equipment specified by an operation switch for setting an operation of the equipment when an operation mode executed by the equipment immediately before driving control of the vehicle is switched from automated driving control to manual driving control is an operation mode corresponding to the visual securing operation.

Provided are an automatic parking method, device and system, relating to the technical field of vehicles. The method comprises: receiving operating information input by a user on the condition of receiving an automatic parking start instruction (101); generating a parking control instruction according to the operating information (102); and sending the parking control instruction to a vehicle for the vehicle to complete an automatic parking operation according to the parking control instruction (103). According to the disclosure, in the process of controlling the vehicle to automatically park, a mobile terminal converts the operating information with large data capacity input by the user in the mobile terminal into the parking control instruction with small data capacity, and only sends the parking control instruction to an automatic parking system controller for the vehicle to complete automatic parking.

An object sensing device is configured to sense an object therearound using an ultrasonic sensor. The object sensing device comprises: a distance judgment portion that performs a judgement of a distance to the object therearound in accordance with received ultrasonic waves that are based on transmitted ultrasonic waves by the ultrasonic sensor; and a notification control portion that performs a predetermined notification operation in accordance with the received ultrasonic waves that are based on the transmitted ultrasonic waves. The notification control portion performs the predetermined notification operation when the distance judgement portion has continuously judged that the object is within a predetermined close range. The notification control portion fails to perform the predetermined notification operation when a judgement history of the distance to the object by the distance judgement portion indicates an abnormal appearance of the object within the predetermined close range.
