A vehicle control system configured to control deceleration of a vehicle properly according to a driver's intention in one-pedal mode. In the one-pedal mode, a controller controls deceleration of the vehicle based on a deceleration level set in accordance with a speed of the vehicle. If the brake pedal is manipulated to decelerate the vehicle while the vehicle is operated in the one-pedal mode and an operating amount of an accelerator pedal falls within the decelerating range, the controller updates the deceleration level based on an operation of the brake pedal.

An electrified vehicle may include an electric motor coupled to a battery to propel and brake the vehicle, a pedal generating a pedal position signal including a released position signal, friction brakes configured to provide a stopping force to vehicle wheels, and a controller programmed to control the motor and the brakes in response to the pedal being released to decelerate the vehicle to a stop, and to control the motor and an engine (in hybrid vehicles) to inhibit propulsive torque to the wheels after stopping due to the pedal released position until receiving driver input indicative of a request for moving the vehicle, such as depressing the brake or accelerator pedal, or activating an automated vehicle maneuver, such as a parking maneuver, cruise control, or stop-and-go control. Inhibiting torque may include inhibiting creep torque and/or operating the electric machine to charge the battery when the engine is running.

There is provided a vehicle control device including a reaction force control section configured to acquire a relative speed obtained by subtracting a speed of a preceding vehicle from a speed of an own-vehicle, and, in a case in which the acquired relative speed is less than a predetermined value, limit a reaction force applied to an accelerator pedal of the own-vehicle by a reaction force application section.

Provided is a system configured to determine and push adjustments to vehicle operations using machine-learning systems across multiple computing layers.

When a collision avoidance target is a pedestrian or a bicycle, a driving assistance ECU performs automatic braking control. In this case, accelerator override cannot be performed. When the collision avoidance target is an automobile and when an accelerator operation amount is equal to or larger than a first operation amount threshold, the driving assistance ECU prohibits the automatic braking control. In this case, the accelerator override can be performed. When the accelerator operation amount is smaller than the first operation amount threshold, the driving assistance ECU performs the automatic braking control.

A vehicle constant speed travel control method and device are provided in which a target driving power is calculated based on a difference between a target vehicle speed and a vehicle speed, and then a target accelerator pedal opening for calculating a gear ratio in constant speed travel control is set based on the target driving power. Then, a target gear ratio based on the target accelerator pedal opening and based on a towing state of the vehicle is set where the target gear ratio set higher during towing than during non-towing. The setting of the target accelerator pedal opening is set differently in accordance with the towing state of the vehicle. The setting of the target accelerator pedal opening for calculating the gear ratio to be smaller during towing than the during non-towing with respect to the same target driving power.

An action to be performed by a vehicle in response to conflicting input signals can be determined. A sensor signal and an accelerator pedal signal can be received. The sensor signal can indicate a possible need to reduce a speed of the vehicle. The accelerator pedal signal can indicate that an accelerator pedal has been set to a position to increase the speed. An existence of first and second conditions can be determined. The first condition can be that a receipt of the accelerator pedal signal occurred concurrently with a receipt of the sensor signal. The second condition can be that a manner in which the accelerator pedal was set to the position is a better match to a brake pedal usage profile than to an accelerator pedal usage profile. In response to the existence of the first and the second conditions, a brake can be caused to be actuated.

A method (200) for operating an electrical vehicle circuit (115) of a motor vehicle (105) includes determining that a voltage of the vehicle circuit (115) drops below a predetermined threshold value while electric current from the vehicle circuit (115) flows through a consumer (130) on board the motor vehicle (105), lowering a voltage present at the consumer (130) in order to reduce the current flowing through the consumer (130), and successively raising the voltage present at the consumer (130).

A vehicle control apparatus of a host vehicle, may include a driving environment sensor that obtains information on a front vehicle; a communication portion that receives traffic situation information; and a controller that is electrically connected to the driving environment sensor and the communication portion and utilizes the information on the front vehicle and the traffic situation information to determine a cruise driving state of the host vehicle and that, when the vehicle is in the cruise driving state, controls torque of the vehicle so that a torque change corresponding to an opening rate of an accelerator pedal of the host vehicle becomes smaller than a predetermined value.

A driving assistance device includes an unable-to-drive state detection unit configured to detect that a driver is in an unable-to-drive state, the unable-to-drive state detection unit being provided in a vehicle, and a stop control unit configured to execute an automatic stop control causing the vehicle to decelerate and stop based on whether the unable-to-drive state is detected by the unable-to-drive state detection unit, wherein the vehicle is provided with an operator configured to operate the vehicle, includes an operation state detection unit configured to detect an operation state of the operator, and cancels the execution of the automatic stop control in a case where the operation state detection unit detects that the operation state of the operator has changed multiple times during transition to the automatic stop control or during the automatic stop control.
