An information processing apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a data set including a requested acceleration as information representing movement of a vehicle in a front-rear direction and any one of a steering angle, a yaw rate, and a rotation radius as information representing movement of the vehicle in a lateral direction from each of a plurality of applications, an arbitration unit configured to perform arbitration of information representing the movement of the vehicle in the front-rear direction and arbitration of information representing the movement of the vehicle in the lateral direction based on a plurality of the data sets received by the receiver, and a first output unit configured to output instruction information for driving an actuator based on an arbitration result of the arbitration unit.

A control device for controlling a brake of a vehicle includes an arbitrating unit configured to receive motion requests for a plurality of actuators, which are used for controlling a motion of the vehicle, from a plurality of application requesting units related to driving support functions and to arbitrate the received motion requests, a command distributing unit configured to distribute commands to controllers for controlling the actuators based on an arbitration result obtained by the arbitrating unit, and a feedback controller configured to feed back a control record value indicating the motion of the vehicle, which is measured by using sensor units, to the application requesting units and to realize the motion of the vehicle requested by the application requesting units.

A vehicle control system including a plurality of systems configured to control a plurality of different functions, respectively, of a vehicle, and the plurality of systems each include: a plurality of input sections; an input adjustment section configured to adjust one or more requests, inputted through the plurality of input sections, for controlling a predetermined vehicle function; a plurality of output sections associated with the vehicle function; and a management section configured to manage operations of the plurality of output sections, based on a request adjusted by the input adjustment section. The management sections each have a communication function that allows information that is associated with management based on at least the adjusted request to be transmitted to and received from each other.

A control system 9 according to the present invention is mounted on a moving object. The control system 9 includes: an observing device 92 which transmits observation result data indicating an observation result of surroundings of the moving object; a first control instruction device 91 which transmits first control data indicating the control contents determined based on the observation result data; a movement control device 93 which controls movement of the moving object; and a relay device 95 which relays the first control data transmitted from the first control instruction device 91, to the movement control device 93. When a second control instruction device 94 which transmits second control data indicating the control contents determined based on the observation result data is provided to the control system 9, the relay device 95 transmits the second control data instead of the first control data, to the movement control device 93.

A vehicle that provides an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) recommendation function and a method of controlling the vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes a collection unit that is configured to collect behavior information of a driver and a controller that is configured to determine an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) mode recommendable to the driver based on the collected behavior information and to output the determined ADAS mode.

A vehicle controller includes: an engine controller configured to perform an IS control upon satisfaction of a predetermined stop condition and an engine restart control upon satisfaction of a predetermined restart condition; an HDC controller configured to perform, when the vehicle is traveling on a downhill road and a deceleration request according to an HDC control occurs, a target vehicle speed-based deceleration irrespective of brake operations by the driver; and an information acquisition part configured to acquire progress status information related to the engine restart control and including information on initiation and completion thereof. When an engine restart request according to the IS control and the deceleration request according to the HDC control occur in a temporally overlapping manner, while the engine controller performs the engine restart control in a prioritized manner, the HDC controller allows performing the target vehicle speed-based deceleration on the basis of the progress status information.

A brake control system is for a vehicle containing an internal controller for outputting an internal control variable for at least one brake actuator. An interface receives an external control variable for the at least one brake actuator from an external controller. A decision circuit has at least two inputs for receiving the internal control variable and the external control variable and an output for outputting a control signal for the at least one brake actuator. The control signal depends on the received internal control variable and/or the received external control variable.

Systems, apparatus, methods, and techniques for an ego vehicle to respond to detecting misbehaving information from remote vehicles are provided. An ego vehicle, in addition to reporting misbehaving vehicles to a misbehavior authority via a vehicle-to-anything communication network, can, take additional actions based in part on how confident the ego vehicle is about the evidence of misbehavior. Where the confidence is high the ego vehicle can simply discard the misbehaving data and provide an alternative estimate for such data from alternative sources. Where the confidence is not high the ego vehicle can request assistance from neighboring vehicles and roadside units to provide independent estimates of the data to increase confidence in the evidence of misbehavior.
