A driving assistance control device includes an active pedal configured to control a driving and braking force of a vehicle, an electronic control unit configured to detect a potential risk area in which an obstacle entering a scheduled traveling route of the vehicle is likely to be present, and determine a reference speed at which contact between the vehicle and the obstacle can be avoided even when the obstacle enters the scheduled traveling route of the vehicle from the detected potential risk area based on a positional relationship between the vehicle and the potential risk area, and a force feedback unit configured to apply an assistance reaction force in a direction in which the amount of manipulation is reduced, to the active pedal when a current speed of the vehicle exceeds the reference speed.

A vehicle includes a level difference detector and a running controller. The level difference detector is configured to detect a level difference. The running controller is configured to perform in parallel level-difference override suppression control to suppress erroneous start for override of the level difference and level-difference override support control to support override of the level difference.

A system for controlling stop of a vehicle includes a steering angle comparison device that detects a current steering angle of the vehicle and compares the detected current steering angle with a preset limit steering angle when a malfunction of a steering system in the vehicle is detected during autonomous driving, a partial braking induction determination device that determines a position of a tire of the vehicle to be subjected to partial braking for steering control of the vehicle according to a result of the comparing between the current steering angle and the limit steering angle, and a partial braking control device that determines an amount of braking to be applied to each determined tire of the vehicle and applies a braking pressure corresponding to the amount of braking to each tire of the vehicle to perform the steering control by the partial braking.

The disclosure relates to a vehicle system for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, that includes an electronically controllable pneumatic braking system, and an electronically controllable steering device. The electronically controllable pneumatic braking system has a redundant control unit, which controls the brake circuits in the event of a failure of an electronic stability control of the braking system during travel. In the event of the failure of the electronic stability control during travel, the redundant control unit performs axle-wise control of the front axle with a front axle redundancy brake pressure and/or of the rear axle with a rear axle redundancy brake pressure and the electronically controllable steering device carries out laterally stabilizing steering interventions in order to keep the vehicle in a tolerance corridor of a predefined target trajectory of the vehicle. The disclosure also relates to a vehicle and a method.

A vehicle motion controller includes a feedback controlling unit that executes feedback control in which a difference between a target acceleration corresponding to a request value from a driver assistance device and an actual acceleration of a vehicle is an input, thereby calculating a control amount used to reduce the difference, a request outputting unit that calculates a request longitudinal force based on the control amount, the request longitudinal force controlling an actuator, and an obtaining unit that obtains, as availability, a range of a longitudinal force capable of being generated by the actuator, the availability being a controllable range of the longitudinal force. The feedback controlling unit prohibits the control amount from decreasing when the request longitudinal force is less than a minimum value in the availability.

A travel controller executes a first correction process on a request value when the vehicle is traveling on an uphill road, and executes a second correction process on the request value when the vehicle is traveling on a downhill road. The first correction process corrects the request value such that the traveling speed is higher than that in a case in which the first correction process is not executed. The second correction process corrects the request value such that the traveling speed is lower than that in a case in which the second correction process is not executed. If hard braking of the vehicle is requested during execution of the first correction process, the travel controller sets a correction amount of the request value to a lower value than that in a case in which hard braking of the vehicle is not requested.

A driving assist apparatus for a vehicle includes a front-side-environment recognition camera, a front-side-environment recognition sensor, and a control device. The front-side-environment recognition camera is configured to recognize a driving environment ahead of the vehicle. The front-side-environment recognition sensor is configured to recognize the driving environment ahead of the vehicle. In a case where image recognition of the front-side-environment recognition camera for a leading vehicle for adaptive cruise control has deteriorated during execution of the adaptive cruise control, the control device is configured to continue executing the adaptive cruise control based on a distance from the vehicle to the leading vehicle obtained by the front-side-environment recognition sensor.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode where vehicle has a drive by wire braking system. For instance, while the vehicle is being controlled in the autonomous driving mode, a signal corresponding to input at a brake pedal of the drive by wire braking system may be received. An amount of braking may be determined based on the received signal. The amount of braking may be used to determine a trajectory for the vehicle to follow. The vehicle may be controlled in the autonomous driving mode using the trajectory.

A vehicle driving assist apparatus executes a constant speed moving control to autonomously control a moving speed of an own vehicle to a set moving speed. The vehicle driving assist apparatus pauses the constant speed moving control and executes an intermittent braking control when the own vehicle moves down a slope having a gradient smaller than a predetermined gradient threshold while the constant speed moving control is executed. The intermittent braking control is a control to alternately apply and stop applying the braking force to the own vehicle. The braking force applied to the own vehicle by the intermittent braking control is greater than the braking force applied to the own vehicle by the constant speed moving control.

A transmission includes an input shaft and an output shaft, the input shaft selectively accepting a torque input from a prime mover, and the output shaft selectively providing torque output to a driveline. A controller determines a shaft displacement angle representing an angle value of rotational displacement difference between at least two shafts of the transmission, and performs a transmission operation responsive to the shaft displacement angle.
