A vehicle includes an engine, a first MG, a planetary gear mechanism, a battery that stores power generated by the first MG and supplies the stored power to the first MG, and an HV-ECU that controls the engine and the first MG. The engine includes a turbo. A boost line is determined on a map representing a relationship between the rotation speed of the engine and torque generated by the engine, and the turbo boosts suctioned air when torque generated by the engine, as indicated by an operating point on the map, exceeds the boost line. The HV-ECU controls the engine and the first MG so that when the allowable value Wout of power output from the battery is small, the operating point exceeds the boost line at a higher rotation speed than when the allowable value Wout is large.

An electrical system in a vehicle has a battery is configured to supply electrical current when a driver ignition key is in a Key-Off state. A. A plurality of electrical loads are each configurable to receive the electrical current flowing from the battery during the Key-Off state depending upon predetermined Key-Off-Load (KOL) Modes. A vehicle locator determines a geographic location of the vehicle. A sleep-time database records daily Key-On and Key-Off events according to changes between the Key-On state and the Key-Off state, wherein each Key-Off event is associated with a respective geographic location from the vehicle locator. An analyzer identifies Key-Off events sharing a repetitive time span and a common geographic location. A scheduler activates a timed KOL sequence according to the identified Key-Off events so that repetitive time slots of vehicle usage can be used to reduce battery drain during times when vehicle usage is less likely.

A control device of an automatic drive vehicle includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires power generator information as information on a power generator provided in the automatic drive vehicle; an operation control unit that switches between a first state in which automatic driving of the automatic drive vehicle is executed without restriction and a second state in which the automatic driving is partially or entirely restricted; and a determination unit that determines whether to perform switching to the second state by the operation control unit.

A wiring harness design for Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) or Dual Power vehicles that uses a wiring harness that is operatively coupled to a cloud connected motor controller that detects mode of operation in two-wheelers and continuously transmit telemetry data to a cloud server.

A remote parking control system and a fail-safe method thereof may include at least one controller and a remote parking control apparatus that performs braking control according to motor reverse torque control and transmission stage control, when a braking controller among the at least one controller fails, upon remote parking control.

A system for operating a hybrid electric vehicle includes a hybrid starter generator generating a counter-electromotive force while rotating with an engine when conditions are satisfied, including where starting of the engine is secured, a main relay is turned off, and an engine clutch is opened according to a request for reverse traveling, in a state where a component of a high-voltage system is failed, a motor reversely rotating using the counter-electromotive force of the hybrid starter generator, an electronic load component operated using the counter-electromotive force of the hybrid starter generator, and a controller determining an engine speed required by load output values according to operations of the motor and the electronic load component, and restricting the operation of the motor or the electronic load component according to a determined engine speed.

A controller of a drive system is configured to, when a power switch is changed from an on state to an off state in a situation in which it has been diagnosed that an abnormality is occurring in a motor generator, execute a starting check process of checking a drive circuit and an engine starting process of starting an engine. The starting check process includes a voltage reduction process of driving a DC-DC converter until a capacitor voltage becomes lower than or equal to a prescribed voltage. The controller is configured to, on condition that the controller determines through a voltage reduction determination process that the capacitor voltage is reduced as compared to the capacitor voltage at an end of the voltage reduction process, execute the engine starting process.

An embodiment method of controlling a state of charge of a vehicle includes receiving input of use information for driving an external device by power of a battery for driving an electric motor, determining expected power consumption of the external device based on the use information, determining a target state of charge based on the expected power consumption, and controlling a driving mode based on the target state of charge.

A control method for a hybrid vehicle including a generator and an electric motor, the generator being configured to charge a battery by use of power of an engine, the electric motor being configured to drive driving wheels by electric power of the battery, is provided, is provided. The control method having controlling the generator and the electric motor and accepting mode setting to set any of a normal mode, a regeneration driving mode, and a silent mode, the regeneration driving mode being a mode in which a regenerative braking force caused by the electric motor is larger than that in the normal mode, the silent mode being a mode in which charging by the engine is inhibited, wherein: when the normal mode is set, setting of the silent mode is not accepted; and when the regeneration driving mode is set, setting of the silent mode is accepted.

A method for cleaning up vehicle driving data includes receiving vehicle driving data of a vehicle within a predetermined time period, the vehicle driving data comprising vehicle mileage data and vehicle status data; determining a first mileage of the vehicle within the predetermined time period based on the vehicle mileage data; determining a second mileage of the vehicle within the predetermined time period based on the vehicle status data; and judging whether the first mileage is abnormal data based on the second mileage.
