A method and a corresponding device are provided for preventing an undesired vehicle motion during an automatic switch-off process of a drive machine in a motor vehicle. An automatic switch-off process is initiated by a start-stop apparatus before the standstill is reached if the motor vehicle is braked because of a deceleration request and the speed of the vehicle is less than a specified first speed threshold. A brake pressure of suitable magnitude is caused to be locked-in in the brake system even before the vehicle reaches the standstill if a first signal indicating that the vehicle standstill will soon be reached and a second signal indicating that an inability of the drive machine to operate in a self-sustaining manner will soon be reached are acquired because of an initiated automatic switch-off process of the drive machine.

A launch control method for a vehicle may include a step of increasing clutch torque of a clutch according to a decrease in braking pressure, a step of maintaining a current level of the clutch torque for a first reference duration, a step of gradually reducing the clutch torque within a range which is lower than the first reference torque level and is equal to or greater than a second reference torque level which is lower than the first reference torque level, a step of gradually increasing the clutch torque until the clutch torque reaches a third reference torque level which is higher than the first reference torque level, and a step of bringing the control to a stop when a state in which a clutch slip is less than a predetermined critical synchronous slip is maintained for a predetermined critical synchronization duration or longer than the predetermined critical synchronization duration.

A vehicle reverse traveling speed limiting apparatus includes a fluid pressure detector, a brake driver, a limiting speed setter, and a reverse traveling speed controller. The fluid pressure detector detects a brake fluid pressure. The brake driver causes a main brake to perform braking based on a set instruction fluid pressure. The limiting speed setter sets a limiting speed upon reverse traveling. The reverse traveling speed controller executes torque and brake controls to allow an actual vehicle speed of a vehicle to be maintained at the limiting speed. When the actual vehicle speed is higher than the limiting speed, the reverse traveling speed controller sets the instruction fluid pressure to allow the actual vehicle speed to be converged to the limiting speed, and executes, even when the brake fluid pressure is higher than the instruction fluid pressure, the brake control to allow the instruction fluid pressure to be maintained.

A driving assistance control apparatus of a vehicle includes a blind area detector, a driving operation detector, and an electronic control unit. The blind area detector is configured to detect the presence or absence of a blind area as seen from the vehicle in a traveling direction of the vehicle. The driving operation detector is configured to detect driving operation of the driver. The electronic control unit is configured to perform automatic deceleration control of the vehicle based on detection of the presence of the blind area by the blind area detector. The electronic control unit is configured to start the automatic deceleration control, by referring to the driving operation of the driver after detection of the presence of the blind area by the blind area detector.

The present disclosure provides an assisted driving method, including: monitoring, in response to that a driving speed of a vehicle is less than or equal to a preset speed and a steering wheel direction is deflected within a first preset time period, an instantaneous oil consumption value of the vehicle; determining whether the instantaneous oil consumption value of the vehicle reaches a first preset reference value within a second preset time period; and sending a reminding message in response to that the instantaneous oil consumption value of the vehicle reaches the first preset reference value within the second preset time period. The present disclosure further provides an assisted driving apparatus, an electronic apparatus, a vehicle-mounted system, and a storage medium.

A method for selecting a driving profile of a motor vehicle, a driver assistance system therefor and a motor vehicle equipped therewith is disclosed. In the method and based on an operating action by a driver, a deviation between the number of predetermined driving profiles currently desired by the driver and that previously used is recognized. After the deviation has been recognized, a query is output to the driver as to whether the deviation should be taught by the driver assistance system for the current situation. After the query has been confirmed by the driver, the driver assistance system is accordingly adapted for the current situation in at least one parameter influencing the selection of the driving profile to be used such that the deviation in the automatic selection of the driving profile to be used in future situations that correspond to the current situation is taken into account.

A vehicle control system for a vehicle may include a controller, a single pedal and a torque control module. The controller may be operably coupled to components and/or sensors of the vehicle to receive information indicative of operational intent of an operator of the vehicle and information indicative of vehicle status. The single pedal may be configured to provide the information indicative of operational intent. The torque control module may be configured to generate both a propulsive torque request and a braking torque request based on the information indicative of the operational intent and the information indicative of vehicle status.

A vehicle includes an engine, a continuously variable transmission, an engine stop system, and a brake system. The brake system is configured to control a braking force of the wheel based on an operation state of a brake operating portion that is operated by a driver. The brake system includes a braking force adjusting device. The braking force adjusting device includes an actuator and an electronic control unit. The actuator is configured to adjust a braking force of the wheel. The electronic control unit is configured to, when the engine stop system stops the driving of the engine, control the actuator such that slip of a belt of the belt-type continuously variable transmission relative to the pulley becomes less than or equal to a predetermined allowable limit.

Provided are a driving assistance device and a driving assistance method using the same, which are capable of guiding safe parking-in or parking-out by increasing engine torque and applying the increased engine torque to an engine control unit when there is no movement of a vehicle during automatic parking-in control or automatic parking-out control of the vehicle at preset engine torque and brake pressure.

A vehicle driving device includes: an engine; a brake booster including a negative pressure chamber, the brake booster amplifying a brake pressure by a negative pressure determined corresponding to a pressure inside the negative pressure chamber; a power transmission clutch disposed between the engine and a driving wheel; and a negative pressure pump configured to drive by using at least one of a torque from the engine and a torque from the driving wheel, the negative pressure pump being configured to vary the negative pressure inside the negative pressure chamber. In the vehicle driving device included in a vehicle that performs freewheeling in a state where the power transmission clutch is released and the engine is stopped, the negative pressure pump includes a control chamber configured to reduce a capacity of the negative pressure pump as a magnitude of the negative pressure inside the negative pressure chamber increases.
