System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to stabilizing a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method for stabilizing a vehicle with a drivetrain having a clutch includes obtaining data indicating one or more aspects of a turning condition of the vehicle, detecting that a hazard state exists based on a comparison of one or more parameters of the turning condition against one or more predetermined thresholds, and executing a clutch kick in response to detecting the hazard state. The clutch kick includes disengaging the clutch and rapidly reengaging the clutch.

A vehicle motor control apparatus includes: a processor configured to determine whether a state of a vehicle is an over-steer state or an under-steer state, to determine a driving control mode or a braking control mode of a motor based on a determination result of the state of the vehicle, to calculate a target yaw moment of based on a tire force by using the over-steer state or the under-steer state, and to determine a motor control amount that follows the target yaw moment; and a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor.

A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, a motor, an automatic transmission, a friction brake system, and a controller which executes, during deceleration during which the friction brake system is distributing a braking force to front and rear wheels, a regeneration control of imparting a regenerative braking torque to the rear wheels and a gear-shifting control of changing a shift stage of the automatic transmission by outputting a gear-shifting signal in accordance with the rotation speed of an input shaft to the transmission. When the controller determines an oversteered state of the vehicle during the regeneration control, the controller increases an input torque of the input shaft so that the regenerative braking torque decreases while maintaining the regeneration operation of the motor and, at the same time, interrupts motive power transmission between the input shaft and an output shaft of the transmission.

A vehicle control system for proactively calculating a safe motion range (e.g., safe speed, a safe acceleration, and/or a safe jerk range) for a road segment and selecting and verifying an appropriate domain for the vehicle using, for example, information about the current road segment, information about the next road segment(s), information obtained from sensors, information obtained from map systems, information from an object-based safety layer, and/or other information about the vehicle's operating conditions in the current and future road segments. In addition, once the safe motion range is calculated, this information may be used to either warn/inform a human driver or directly enforce an appropriate vehicle maneuver to ensure a safe motion in the vehicle's next road segment(s).

A lane maintaining assistance device 1 is provided with the following: a first assistance unit that performs steering assistance of a vehicle by hydraulic pressure; a second assistance unit that performs steering assistance of the vehicle using a motor; and a steering assistance control unit 83 that reduces the steering assistance amount of the first assistance unit and starts steering assistance by the second assistance unit if the vehicle is determined to have entered a curve on the basis of a captured image in which a portion of the lane which is forward in the vehicle advancing-direction is captured.

The present disclosure provides an electronic stability control method for a vehicle for performing vehicular electronic stability control simply by adjusting driving force and braking power that are generated by a driving device of the vehicle without use of a driving force distributing method between front, rear, left, or right vehicle wheels. To this end, the vehicular electronic stability control method includes determining a vehicular state value indicating a driving state of a vehicle from information collected from the vehicle, comparing the determined vehicle state value with a first reference value, and controlling an operation of a driving device for generating driving force for driving the vehicle by the controller when the vehicle state value is greater than the first reference value to adjust driving force for preventing understeer or oversteer of the vehicle.

A system for training an operator of a vehicle includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor, which includes a safety module and a training module. The safety module has instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine when the vehicle is operating within a safe area based on at least one of: a location of the vehicle and a location of one or more objects with respect to the vehicle. The training module has instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to apply at least one brake of the vehicle when the vehicle is operating within the safe area to cause the vehicle to engage in an oversteer event, and collect operator response information when the vehicle engages in the oversteer event.

A method and apparatus that control lateral movement of a vehicle are provided. The method includes receiving vehicle information and path information of the vehicle, determining a center of vehicle rotation from the vehicle information, minimizing a path tracking error based on the path information of the vehicle, determining a road wheel angle command or a steering torque command using non-linear optimization based on the minimized path tracking error, and controlling an actuator according to the road wheel angle command or steering torque command.

A brake apparatus for a vehicle includes a brake and a processor configured to control the brake, and the processor is configured to receive a steering command including a steering direction from a steering apparatus of a vehicle, control the brake to provide a one-sided braking force to an inner wheel in the steering direction based on the receiving of the steering command, identify oversteering or understeering based on an output of a motion sensor of the vehicle, and control the brake to provide the one-sided braking force to an outer wheel in the steering direction based on the identifying of the oversteering.
