A vehicle steering apparatus includes a steering portion (6), a steered portion (16), and a clutch mechanism (9). The steering portion (6) includes operations input mechanism and a reaction adding device (5). The steered portion (16) includes steering controlled wheels (16) and a steered force adding device (14). The clutch mechanism (9) mechanically connects the steering portion (6) and steered portion (16) through an engagement. The clutch mechanism (9) has a permanent magnet (9m) and an electromagnetic coil (9i) so as to form an electromagnetic clutch that releases when a current is applied such that a magnetic force in the direction that cancels a magnetic force of the permanent magnet is generated for the electromagnetic coil. The electromagnetic clutch engages when a current is not applied to the electromagnetic coil. The vehicle steering system further includes a controller (19) that generates the magnetic force in the same direction as the magnetic force direction of the permanent magnet for the electromagnetic coil when an abnormality is generated for the steering system.

In apparatus and method for delivering road map data, a plurality of road map data are stored in a road map data storage unit, one of the road map data which corresponds to the road map data requested to be delivered from the road map storage unit is retrieved and delivered in response to a request to deliver the road map data to a movable body issued from the same movable body, a delivery history of each road map data is stored, and a charging process for the delivery of the road map data is carried out in such a way as to refer to the delivery history of the road map data stored and to charge an amount of money discounted from a predetermined amount of money at a rate of discount varied in accordance with a degree of an overlap in a case where the road map data presently delivered to the road map data delivery requested movable body includes a portion on which the road map data delivered to the same movable body in the past is overlapped.

[Problem] To suppress a slip of clutch in an automatic transmission when an internal combustion engine is automatically restarted. [Solution] In a case that the internal combustion engine 1 is cranked up from a stopped position of piston 10 in a restart-time first ignition cylinder which is scheduled to firstly start a combustion at the time of automatic restart of internal combustion engine 1 under an automatic stop of internal combustion engine 1 during an idling-stop control, a restart-time ignition time interval between a time point when the cranking of internal combustion engine 1 is started and a time point when a restart-time first ignition cylinder is initially ignited is calculated. A drive-start timing of starter motor 19 is delayed according to this restart-time ignition time interval. Thereby, the cranking of internal combustion engine 1 is carried out by the starter motor 19 under a state where hydraulic pressure supplied from the electric oil pump 27 has increased. Therefore, the slip in the clutch 24 of CVT 14 can be suppressed when gas mixture in the restart-time first ignition cylinder is initially ignited.

A shift control apparatus for a continuously-variable transmission includes a controller for controlling a transmission ratio in a normal mode in accordance with a sensed vehicle speed and a sensed accelerator operation condition. The controller determines a second-mode downshift characteristic and a second-mode upshift characteristic in accordance with a driver's acceleration demand; and controls the transmission ratio in a kickdown shift control mode in response to a driver's acceleration request by performing a downshift operation to a target downshift transmission ratio determined according to the second-mode downshift characteristic and an upshift operation according to the second mode upshift characteristic.

An apparatus and method for controlling a braking-force distribution in a vehicle collision is used in a vehicle including at least one electric storage device (4) and at least one motor-generator (MG) for driving and braking. When the vehicle decelerates or stops in response to a brake operation, regenerative cooperative brake control is performed in which a braking force of a frictional brake is reduced or eliminated while a braking force of a regenerative brake applied by the motor-generator (MG) is increased by an amount corresponding to the reduction in the braking force of the friction brake. When the vehicle collides, the apparatus reduces the braking force of the regenerative brake applied by the motor-generator (MG) and increases the braking force of the friction brake.
