Methods and systems for tuning vehicle drivability are provided. The vehicle system includes, in one example, a vehicle control unit (VCU) that is designed to electronically communicate with a human machine interface (HMI). In the system, the VCU is designed to, in reaction to receiving an acceleration or deceleration request from the HMI, send a virtual acceleration or deceleration command to a transmission control unit (TCU), where the virtual acceleration or deceleration command correlates to the acceleration or deceleration request and the correlation is user adjustable via a user interface (UI) of the VCU.

A vehicle controller includes a controlling unit. The controlling unit calculates a feedback control amount based on a deviation between a target acceleration of a vehicle and an actual acceleration of the vehicle. The controlling unit executes a feedback control of a driving device and a braking device by using the feedback control amount, such that the deviation decreases. A state in which only the driving device, of the driving device and the braking device, operates is a first state. A state in which at least the braking device, of the driving device and the braking device, operates is a second state. When switched from the first state to the second state, the controlling unit calculates the feedback control amount such that the deviation permitted in the feedback control is greater than the deviation prior to a start of switching from the first state to the second state.

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.

The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of appropriately stabilizing a posture of a straddle-type vehicle. In the controller and the control method according to the present invention, when the straddle-type vehicle jumps, automatic posture control for controlling the posture of the straddle type vehicle by increasing or reducing a rotational frequency of a wheel is executed in accordance with posture information at the time when the straddle-type vehicle jumps. Furthermore, in the case where it is determined whether a driver has intention to control the posture of the straddle-type vehicle at the time when the straddle-type vehicle jumps without relying on the automatic posture control and where it is determined that the driver has the intention, the automatic posture control is prohibited.

An object of the present invention is to realize a control device having operation continuity at the time of failure with less redundancy and reduce cost.

An object of the present invention is to provide a control apparatus for an electric vehicle capable of preventing the vehicle from being destabilized because a rear wheel is locked first or drivability from reducing because a front wheel is locked early. A control apparatus includes a regenerative braking force calculation portion configured to calculate a regenerative braking force to be generated on each of a front motor and a rear motor based on a request braking force requested to an electric vehicle, a power limit portion configured to reduce the regenerative braking force based on a power limit on a power source, and a frictional braking force output portion configured to output an instruction for generating a frictional braking force according to a regenerative braking force reduction amount, which is an amount of a reduction in the regenerative braking force by the power limit portion, to a brake apparatus.

A method of controlling an electrified vehicle to prevent a collision thereof includes: determining whether an accelerator pedal is erroneously operated in the situation in which an obstacle is detected to be present in a traveling path; and when it is determined that the accelerator pedal is erroneously operated, performing braking control such that at least one of hydraulic braking or regenerative braking is selectively performed in a plurality of braking sections determined based on a current vehicle speed and a distance to the obstacle.

A vehicle control system is configured to, when anti-skid control is started in a situation in which driving support control is being executed, execute a specific process for making a stop condition of the anti-skid control difficult to be satisfied as compared to when the driving support control is not being executed.

A method for executing multi-mode turns with a work vehicle includes transmitting initial steering and braking commands for controlling an operation of a steering actuator(s) and a steering brake(s), respectively, of the work vehicle to initiate execution of a multi-mode turning operation. The method also includes determining allowable steering and braking rates for the work vehicle based at least in part on an actual steering rate and an actual braking rate, respectively, of the work vehicle during execution of the multi-mode turning operation, and determining updated steering and braking commands based at least in part on the allowable steering and braking rates. In addition, the method includes transmitting the updated steering and braking commands to control the operation of the steering actuator(s) and the steering brake(s), respectively, to continue execution of the multi-mode turning operation.
