A vehicle vibration control device includes: a motor generator connected via a motor shaft to a power transmission path between a crankshaft of an engine and a drive axle that transmits a drive torque to a tire; and a motor generator control portion executing control of an output torque which is actually output by the motor generator. The motor generator control portion includes a damper torque calculation section that acquires information on a crank angle and a motor angle to calculate a damper torque generated by a damper, an explosion cycle calculation section, a reverse phase torque calculation section, a delay time calculation section, a compensation time calculation section, a first compensation time calculation section, a torque correction amount calculation section, and a command output section.

A power control ECU controls electric power and engine power of a hybrid vehicle. The power control ECU includes a request driving force calculating portion that calculates a request driving force calculated in accordance with an accelerator operation amount, a travel driving force calculating portion that calculates a travel driving force as a value that belatedly follows the request driving force, and a dashpot control processing portion. The dashpot control processing portion sets a value of the request driving force as a value of a final request driving force used to calculate request engine power when a difference of the request driving force with respect to the travel driving force is less than a predetermined positive value, and sets a value that belatedly follows the request driving force when the difference is greater than or equal to the predetermined positive value.

Systems and methods are disclosed for determining, and displaying, the regulatory compliance status of a motorized vehicle, a driver of a motorized vehicle, or a non-vehicle machine. An authorized agent, such as a law enforcement officer, can perform a remotely-initiated safe stop of a motorized vehicle to prevent a high-speed chase. A system management center can receive, store, and transmit regulatory compliance records indicating the regulatory compliance status of drivers, motorized vehicles, and non-vehicle machines. A motorized vehicle can detect, and report, a driver “tail-gating” the motorized vehicle. The regulatory compliance history of drivers, motorized vehicles, and non-vehicle machines can be queried by authorized users.

An ECU executes a first control when an automatic transmission has a shift range changed from an N range to a D range. In the first control, the ECU initially rotates an EOP and also sets a motor generator's rotational speed to a prescribed rotational speed. The ECU rapidly engages a Drive clutch while maintaining the motor generator's rotational speed at the prescribed rotational speed. The ECU then increases the motor generator's rotational speed to a target rotational speed set for the D range.

A control method for a hybrid vehicle (1) is provided. The hybrid vehicle includes an electric motor (13) that drives the vehicle to travel, a generator (12) that supplies power to the electric motor, and an engine (11) that drives the generator. The control method includes storing the timing at which an amount or factor of change in target driving force (Fd) for the vehicle becomes a predetermined threshold or more, calculating an estimated trajectory of the rotational speed of the engine in accordance with the amount or factor of change in the target driving force, and when an increase request for power generation is issued to the engine at different timing than the timing, controlling the rotational speed of the engine on the basis of the calculated estimated trajectory.

A drive control system is provided, which is mounted on a vehicle configured to travel by operation of a driver. The drive control system includes an actuator configured to output a driving force for the vehicle to travel, an output sensor configured to detect a driving force requested by the operation of the driver, and a control device configured to control operation of the actuator based on the requested driving force detected by the output sensor. The control device sets a target output value by adding a given delay time to a requested output value set corresponding to the requested driving force, and controls the actuator so as to output the target output value based on a response characteristic of the actuator.

The speed control device is equipped with: an actual speed acquisition unit; an actual position acquisition unit; an acceleration/deceleration control unit; and a travel resistance calculation unit. When in a situation in which an target speed increases from a first target speed to a second target speed, the target speed in the second road section is set such that an actual speed increases with a first-order lag from the first target speed to the second target speed over a period between the start position and end position of the second road section, and the target speed in the second road section is set such that the amount of change in the speed, which increases with the first-order lag, with respect to the travel time of the vehicle is decreased as the travel resistance calculated by the travel resistance calculation unit increases.

A method for controlling a hybrid vehicle (1) is provided. The hybrid vehicle includes an electric motor (13) that drives the vehicle to travel, a generator (12) that supplies power to the electric motor, and an engine (11) that drives the generator. The method includes calculating an amount or factor of change in target driving force (Fd) for the vehicle, setting a change rate (NRu, NRd) of a rotational speed of the engine in accordance with the amount or factor of change in the target driving force, and controlling the rotational speed of the engine on the basis of the change rate of the rotational speed of the engine.

A vehicle control apparatus that controls a vehicle, comprising a controller configured to execute lane departure suppression control to suppress the vehicle from departing from a division line, wherein in a case in which the shape of a road is a curve, the controller delays an operation timing of the lane departure suppression control compared to a case in which the shape of the road is not the curve, and in a case in which the shape of the road is the curve and an oncoming vehicle is detected, the controller decreases an amount of delay of the operation timing of the lane departure suppression control compared to a case in which the shape of the road is the curve and the oncoming vehicle is not detected.

The present disclosure relates to a creep speed control system for a vehicle having at least one electric motor for providing torque to at least one vehicle wheel. The system comprises an input configured to receive a current speed signal indicative of a current speed of the vehicle; a creep speed control module that is configured to activate when the current speed of the vehicle crosses a predetermined threshold above a creep speed target value; and, an output configured to, upon activation of the creep speed control module, send a creep speed control torque signal to the at least one electric motor to control the vehicle speed in dependence on the creep speed target value, wherein the creep speed control torque signal is limited to a creep speed control filtered torque value less than a creep speed control maximum torque value.
