A P-range engagement method of the vehicle and a device thereof are disclosed. The P-range engagement method is applied to the vehicle equipped with an electronic shift lever, and the method includes performing the vehicle stopping process based on detection of stopping of a traveling vehicle through a control device, holding wheel disks of the vehicle through a controller that is controlled by the control device, comparing the vehicle stopped time period, which is measured by the control device, with a predetermined reference value stored in the control device to determine whether the vehicle stopped time period exceeds the predetermined reference value, and upon determining that the vehicle stopped time period exceeds the predetermined reference value, determining whether conditions for performing P-range engagement are satisfied, and upon determining that the conditions for performing the P-range engagement are satisfied, completing the P-range engagement.

A vehicle and a control method are capable of generating compressed air using a motor of a hybrid vehicle so as to perform cleaning/care of the hybrid vehicle, without an additional or separate device. The vehicle includes an engine including an intake pipe provided to suck outside air and an exhaust pipe provided to discharge inside air, an opening degree control valve provided at a rear end of the exhaust pipe, and a motor configured to generate power for driving a wheel and configured to drive a piston of the engine by using a portion of the power. In response to the opening degree control valve being in a closed state, and in response to the engine being in a non-combustion state, compressed air is generated in the exhaust pipe by driving the piston of the engine with the power of the motor.

A method for detecting a standstill of a vehicle includes detecting the standstill of the vehicle using at least one sensor, and, when the standstill is detected using the at least one sensor, carrying out a test routine for checking the standstill of the vehicle. The test routine uses at least one signal from at least one rate-of-rotation sensor as an input value. The method further includes rejecting the detected standstill of the vehicle when the at least one signal from the at least one rate-of-rotation sensor indicates that there is no standstill of the vehicle.

Provided is a vehicle stop support system for supporting vehicle stop in an emergency condition. The vehicle stop support system sets a target time period based on physical abnormality of a driver; sets an allowable lateral acceleration, based on the abnormality; estimates a time period required to reach each of a plurality of stop point candidates; estimates a lateral acceleration to be generated during traveling of a vehicle to each of the candidates; sets a stop point; and controls the vehicle to travel to the stop point and stop at the stop point. The system is operable to set, as the stop point, one of the candidates which satisfies a condition that the lateral acceleration estimated with respect thereto is equal to or less than the allowable lateral acceleration, and the required time period estimated with respect thereto is equal to or less than the target time period.

A control device executes caster angle change control for controlling a driving force applying device or each of the driving force applying device and a braking force applying device to reduce a caster angle of a steered tire-wheel assembly when a steering request is received in a stopped state or in a creeping state without exceeding a predetermined vehicle speed at a point starting from the stopped state. In the caster angle change control, the control device applies, to one tire-wheel assembly out of a front tire-wheel assembly and a rear tire-wheel assembly, a driving force in a direction toward the other tire-wheel assembly and applies, to the other tire-wheel assembly, a braking force or a driving force in a direction toward the one tire-wheel assembly to achieve the stopped state or the creeping state in response to a request for acceleration or deceleration.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an artificial intelligence apparatus for controlling an auto stop function, including: an input unit configured to receive brake information and velocity information of a vehicle; a storage unit configured to store a control model for the auto stop function; and a processor configured to: acquire driving information comprising the brake information and the velocity information through at the input unit, acquire base data used for determining a control of the auto stop function from the driving information, determine a control mode for the auto stop function by using the base data and the control model for the auto stop function, and control the auto stop function according to the determined control mode, wherein the control mode is one of an activation mode which activates the auto stop function or a deactivation mode which deactivates the auto stop function.

A controller of a vehicle, while the vehicle is within a predefined geofenced region and responsive to the vehicle entering park, increases a maximum state of charge threshold for the battery and decreases a minimum state of charge threshold for the battery. The controller also, while the vehicle is located within the predefined geofenced region and responsive to the vehicle exiting park, decreases the maximum state of charge threshold and increases the minimum state of charge threshold.

In one embodiment, static-state curvature error compensation control logic for autonomous driving vehicles (ADV) receives planning and control data associated with the ADV, including a planned steering angle and a planned speed. A steering command is generated based on a current steering angle and the planned steering angle of the ADV. A throttle command is generated based on the planned speed in view of a current speed of the ADV. A curvature error is calculated based on a difference between the current steering angle and the planned steering angle. The steering command is issued to the ADV while withholding the throttle command, in response to determining that the curvature error is greater than a predetermined curvature threshold, such that the steering angle of the ADV is adjusted in view of the planned steering angle without acceleration.

Disclosed is a method of controlling a hybrid electric vehicle having a transmission, an engine, and first and second drive motors. The method includes: performing charging through the first drive motor using the power of the engine by engaging an engine clutch disposed between the engine and the first drive motor while a vehicle is stopped with the gear stage shifted to the parking (P) range; turning off the engine and controlling the clutch of the transmission to enter an open state when the gear stage is shifted to the driving (D) range; and commencing movement of the vehicle using the second drive motor alone or using at least one of the first drive motor or the engine together with the second drive motor based on at least one of requested torque, available torque of the second drive motor, or the speed of the first drive motor.

A method of controlling charging of a battery may include making, by a controller, the battery that supplies power to a drive motor start to be charged with a boosted voltage higher than a voltage of a fast charger by controlling a switch connecting the drive motor and the fast charger of a vehicle and a switch of an inverter driving the drive motor, for fast charging of the battery; determining, by the controller, whether a motor position sensor has failure according to an output signal of the motor position sensor which detects a position of the drive motor; engaging, by the controller, an engine clutch that is configured to connect or disconnect the engine of the vehicle and the drive motor, when the controller determines that the motor position sensor has the failure; and maintaining, by the controller, the fast charging for the battery when a rotation of the drive motor stops after the engine clutch is engaged.
