An electric suspension control, in a vehicle including an electric suspension apparatus driven with a motor, short-circuits the motor and limits a vehicle speed to a predetermined speed or less, in a case where an abnormality occurs in the electric suspension apparatus.

A turning control system of a vehicle includes: a database storing road information; a sensor part to detect a steering angle of a vehicle, a wheel speed of the vehicle, whether the vehicle is accelerated, whether the vehicle is braking, and whether a speed gear of the vehicle is shifted; and a controller that determines whether the vehicle enters a turning section based on one or more pieces of the information detected by the sensor part and the road information stored in the database. In particular, when the vehicle is entering the turning section, the controller sets a target speed of the vehicle and controls a speed of the vehicle to be decelerated to the set target speed.

A driving support method supports driving of a vehicle from outside of the vehicle using images captured by a camera installed outside of the vehicle. The driving support method includes a recognition step of recognizing a shielding area that is an area in which a vehicle is shielded by a shield within an imaging range of the camera based on the images, and a control step of controlling the behavior of the vehicle by giving a predetermined command to the vehicle when a shielding area is present on traveling path of the vehicle.

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving the synchronizing of systems in a vehicle without relying on external controls or hardware. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a stop of a vehicle according to data acquired from two or more sensors. The method also includes identifying motion from the stop according to the data and corresponding timestamps from the two or more sensors, wherein the data and the corresponding timestamps are internal to the two or more sensors. The method also includes synchronizing the two or more sensors according to the corresponding timestamps. The method also includes controlling the motion of the vehicle using the two or more sensors.

A vehicle control device controls a vehicle including an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, and a drive wheel driven by an output of at least one of the internal combustion engine and the electric motor. When the internal combustion engine is in a cylinder deactivation operation, if a target torque reaches a cylinder deactivation bottom torque at which a value of a cylinder deactivation brake specific fuel consumption, which is a brake specific fuel consumption when the internal combustion engine is in the cylinder deactivation operation, is minimized, the vehicle control device executes cylinder deactivation bottom assist control for increasing a motor torque output from the electric motor in accordance with an increase in the target torque while maintaining an engine torque output from the internal combustion engine at the cylinder deactivation bottom torque.

An information processing apparatus includes a processing unit configured to execute an inference operation in an execution cycle. The inference operation is executed by inputting input data including time series data to a neural network. An interval of acquiring constituting data of the time series data to be input in a single time of the inference operation is longer than the execution cycle.

An assistance System for a vehicle for providing an emergency stop assistance function that includes an execution device to execute the emergency stop assistance function using at least one of a plurality of activation stages; a detection device for automatic detection of driver inactivity, in order to activate the emergency stop assistance function using a first stage selection of the activation stages; a triggering device for monitoring an operating element of an electrical parking brake or a parking lock of a transmission of the vehicle, in order to activate the emergency assistance function using a second stage selection of the activation stages, which differs from the first stage selection, in the case of a manual activation of the operating element.

A vehicle driveline including a first axle assembly having a first drive ratio. A second axle assembly in selective driving engagement with the first axle assembly, the first and second axle assemblies having a second drive ratio when in driving engagement. A control system in electrical communication with the first and second axle assemblies, wherein the control system selectively engages the second axle assembly with the first axle assembly.

A vehicle control device includes a controller configured to allow cranking of an engine by increasing clutch torque at a time a deceleration request is detected during free running in which a vehicle is allowed to run in a state in which a clutch is disengaged and the engine is stopped, and makes an increasing rate of the clutch torque larger at a time when a negative pressure of a brake booster is small than at a time when the negative pressure of the brake booster is large.

A control method and system for a hybrid vehicle including an engine, a first motor/generator and a second motor/generator a power sources are provided. The control method includes performing a parallel driving mode by driving with a driving power transmitted from the engine and the second motor/generator at a fixed gear ratio. Additionally, an OD brake is released from fixing a gear ratio of a planetary gear set disposed between the generator and the engine. Then an EV driving mode is performed with a driving power of the second motor/generator.
