Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decide abnormality of wheel velocity detected by sensors until actual velocity of a vehicle becomes high partway after a start, in a vehicle velocity abnormality decision device. SOLUTION: Each wheel of the vehicle is provided with the wheel velocity sensor outputting an electric signal according to the wheel velocity. When the secondarily-low wheel velocity VWMEDL changes from a prescribed value V1 to V2 under conditions that a minimum wheel velocity VWMIN of the wheel velocity of each the wheel detected by the wheel sensor is nearly zero, the abnormality occurs in the minimum wheel velocity VWMIN. That is, it is decided that the abnormality occurs in the wheel velocity sensor outputting the signal according to the minimum wheel velocity VWMIN. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability of a brake system by inhibiting increase/ decrease control of brake fluid pressure from the time of an engine start switch being switched into an ON state until the time of a brake switch being switched into an ON state first. SOLUTION: Whether an ignition switch is in an ON state is discriminated (S100). Upon discriminating the ON state of the ignition switch, an alarm lamp is lighted (S102). Whether a brake switch is in an ON state is then discriminated (S110). In case of discriminating the OFF state of the brake switch, this processing is repeated to wait for the ON state of the brake switch. Upon detecting the ON state of the brake switch, on the other hand, the alarm lamp is put out (S112). While the alarm lamp is lighted, ABS control processing is not executed and put in a forbidden state.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an operating sound caused by an initial check from giving a feeling of physical disorder to a driver, in an initial check method inspecting whether an on-vehicle system is normally operated or not. SOLUTION: After an IG switch of a vehicle is placed in an on-condition, an actuator is operated to decide whether a system is normal or not (100). Whether a shift lever is operated or not from a range N or a range P to the other range is discriminated (102). A BA initial check is executed, which is accompanied with operation of the actuator synchronized with the timing operating the shift lever from a range N or a range P to the other range (108).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To avoid mis-determination of gear engagement as a bad road to prevent execution of improper anti-skid control. CONSTITUTION: In the case of two-wheel driving, gear engagement is determined as detected when a rotation speed increase/decrease frequency of a drive wheel is larger than that of a driven wheel by a set frequency difference or more (S305, 306). In the case of four-wheel driving, gear engagement is determined as detected when an estimated car body speed is less than a set car body speed (S308), and in the case where a road surface friction coefficient is determined to be low because of a small car body deceleration during anti-skid control (S309, 310). In a normal condition where gear engagement is not detected, in the case where wheel rotation speed increase/decrease frequency is large, it is detected as a bad road, and control conditions of anti-skid control are changed to control brake cylinder pressure to be higher than that on a good road, while if gear engagement is determined as detected, the control conditions are not changed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To complete control when an anti-lock control is not necessary and re-start it when it is necessary by including a pressure reduction start condition change means which resets pressure reduction start conditions to first pressure reduction start conditions for each completion of anti-lock controls. CONSTITUTION: An increased pressure condition of a brake in a left rear wheel RL is achieved by setting solenoid switching valves 22 and 60 to non-energizing condition, a holding condition is achieved by setting only the solenoid switching valve 22 to energizing condition, and a decreased pressure condition is achieved by setting both the solenoid stop switching 22 and 60 to energizing condition. After the second and subsequent anti-lock control, if a time passed after the previous anti-lock control is completed is below a preset time, anti-lock control is started with a relatively small slip amount, and traveling stability on a low μroad is increased. On the other hand, if a time passed after the previous anti-lock control is completed exceeds a preset time, start of the anti-lock control is delayed until a relatively large slip amount is reached.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To forcedly terminate an ABS control resulted from a level in difference under an optimum condition according to the using environment of a vehicle in an antilock brake device for preventing an excessive slip ratio from being generated in a wheel. SOLUTION: This device executes an ABS control when an excessive slip ratio is generated in a wheel. When a prescribed step difference condition is established, it is judged that the wheel passed a step. When it is judged that the wheel passed the step after the ABS control is started, wheel cylinder pressure PW/C is increased in a prescribed pressure increasing pattern to forcedly terminate the ABS control. By use of the established frequency CABS of executing condition of ABS control and the established frequency CSTEP of step difference condition, the step difference frequency NSTEP=CSTEP/CABS is determined (steps 144-156). On the basis of NSTEP, the step difference condition and the pressure increasing pattern are changed (steps 158-164).
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To eliminate the follow-up delay of deceleration at the time of ground ing getting over the stepped road surface by suppressing the reduction of brak ing liquid pressure at the wheel lock tendency time by a control means upon judging the sudden reaction change of the road surface, and accelerating the boosting of braking liquid pressure at the wheel lock tendency released time. CONSTITUTION:The wheel speed VW and wheel acceleration dVW are compared with the reference speed VA and reference acceleration G1 so as to judge the lock tendency of a wheel. When the lock tendency is large, it is judged to be the anti-skid control timing, and the road surface state is judged to perform braking liquid pressure control judgment. When the wheel has the lock tendency, the wheel speed VW is compared with the set speed VSL. In the case of being judged to be negative, the wheel speed is reset during short-time pressure reduction, so that the wheel is judged to be shifted into the grounded state from the floating state, and pressure reduction is stopped to perform hold output, taking account of the further reset of the wheel speed at the grounding time. When the wheel speed is lower than the set speed VSL, a vehicle is judged to be in ultra-low mu road travel, and pressure reduction is outputted.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To synchronize data communication between particular nodes among a plurality of nodes about CAN communication method and system. SOLUTION: Control units such as a revolutionary ECU (electronic control unit) 10, etc., respectively having a CAN controller 30 and sensors such as a G sensor 18, a yaw rate sensor 22 are connected to one another through a CAN bus 26. The revolutionary ECU 10 needed to perform VSC control and sensors 18 to 24 are set as a node having a high priority over data transmission on the CAN bus 26. The revolutionary ECU 10 is made to transmit a trigger frame for requesting the transmission of a control parameter of VSC control to the CAN bus 26 every fixed cycle. The respective sensors 18 to 24 are made to perform A/D conversion processing of their own physical quantity whenever a trigger frame is received and to transmit data obtained as a result of the A/D conversion processing to the CAN bus 26.
