A control device for hybrid vehicle is configured to transmit a torque generated by an engine and a motor to a power transmission member according to a driving power request from a driver. The control device for hybrid vehicle includes motor control means and transmission capacity control means. The motor control means is configured to control an output from the motor according to the driving power request. The transmission capacity control means is configured to control a transmission capacity of the power transmission member. The transmission capacity control means is configured to increase the transmission capacity in consideration of a variation of the output from the motor when the output from the motor is increased based on the driving power request. The motor control means is configured to increase the output from the motor after the transmission capacity is increased in consideration of the variation of the output from the motor when the output from the motor is increased based on the driving power request.

A method to provide priority based power management of off-board devices being power by a vehicle comprising: determining an operating mode of the vehicle, the operating mode being an electric operating mode or a fossil fuel operating mode; determining a current state of charge (SOC) of a battery pack of the vehicle; supplying power to the off-board devices when the current SOC of the battery pack is above a minimum threshold value when the vehicle is operating in the fossil fuel operating mode; prioritizing the off-board devices when the vehicle is operating in the electric operating mode; and powering the off-board devices based on a prioritization level of the off-board devices and the current SOC of the battery pack when the vehicle is operating in the electric operating mode.

A method for operating a vehicle, including the following: detection of a vehicle environment; detection of a steering angle for a vehicle wheel that is defined by a steering device; ascertainment of a collision probability for the vehicle based on the detected vehicle environment and the detected steering angle in the case of an unchanged steering angle; correction of the steering angle if the ascertained collision probability is greater than or equal to a predetermined collision probability threshold in order to prevent a collision. Also described is a device for operating a vehicle and a computer program.

A method is provided for use with a vehicle collision system. The method includes identifying one or more objects along a side surface of the vehicle, determining a highest threat object based on the vehicle's trajectory relative to the one or more identified objects, calculating a time-to-collision between the highest threat object and the side surface of the vehicle, determining a remedial action by comparing the time-to-collision with at least one threshold, and initiating the remedial action to avoid a collision between the side surface of the vehicle and the highest threat object.

A control device for a hybrid vehicle including an internal combustion engine includes: a limiting unit configured to limit an output of the internal combustion engine when temperature of cooling water for cooling the internal combustion engine is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature; a discharging unit configured to discharge, when internal pressure of a fuel tank is equal to or higher than predetermined pressure, fuel evaporative gas in the fuel tank into an intake passage of the internal combustion engine while the internal combustion engine is being driven; and a prioritizing unit configured to prioritize the limiting of the output of the internal combustion engine by the limiting unit over the discharging of the fuel evaporative gas by the discharging unit, when the discharging unit is to discharge the fuel evaporative gas and the limiting unit is to limit the output of the internal combustion engine.

An autonomous driving system includes a server, and a plurality of vehicles configured to communicate with the server. The server is configured to obtain driving information on each of the plurality of vehicles entering an intersection area within a parking lot, generate priority information on each of the plurality of vehicles based on the driving information on each of the plurality of vehicles, and transmit control information including the priority information to each of the plurality of vehicles based on the priority information so that the plurality of vehicles pass through the intersection area.

Provided are methods for trajectory generation based on a hierarchical plurality of rules using diverse trajectories, which can include generating a first set of trajectories for a vehicle from a first pose, identifying a first trajectory and a second trajectory from the first set of trajectories, generating a second set of trajectories for the vehicle from a second pose and a third set of trajectories for the vehicle from a third pose, identifying a third trajectory based at least in part on the second set of trajectories and the third set of trajectories, the third trajectory violating a first behavioral rule associated with a first priority that is less than a priority of behavioral rules violated by other trajectories, and determining a path for the vehicle based at least in part on the third trajectory. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

A vehicle controller is configured to: recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle; execute first control of giving a first alarm to an occupant of the vehicle in response to a first condition being satisfied; execute second control of controlling braking or steering of the vehicle and giving a second alarm to the occupant in response to a second condition being satisfied; detect an abnormality of the occupant; execute third control of decelerating or stopping the vehicle and giving a third alarm in response to the abnormality of the occupant; and arrange execution of the first, second and third control. The vehicle controller executes the third control with priority over the first control when conditions of the first control and the third control are satisfied; and executes the second control with priority over the third control when conditions of the second control and the third control are satisfied.

An example operation includes one or more of monitoring, via a vehicle, a behavior of an occupant of the vehicle, responsive to the behavior being above a threshold, generating via an application of the vehicle, a first suggested action intended for the occupant based on the behavior and an amount the behavior is above the threshold, monitoring, by the vehicle, whether the first suggested action is being performed by the occupant, determining an alternate action is being performed by the occupant, generating a second suggested action based on the alternate action and the first suggested action, and providing a value to an occupant device associated with the occupant responsive to the second action being detected by the transport.

A method for selecting a trajectory for a vehicle includes receiving first perception data from one or more sensors positioned on the vehicle at a first time; generating at least one nominal trajectory based on the first perception data; receiving second perception data from the one or more sensors at a second time after the first time; generating at least one fast-path trajectory based on the second perception data; selecting a trajectory from the at least one nominal trajectory and the at least one fast-path trajectory.
