The avoidance system control device includes: an elapsed time count means for counting the elapsed time from time when acquiring the arrival time from the arrival time calculation device; and an avoidance system control means for starting to control the avoidance system in the case where a time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time from the arrival time becomes less than or equal to a first threshold.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the necessity of abnormally strongly stepping on a brake pedal of a vehicle to suppress creeping, if snow fade has occurred in a braking device, when the vehicle starts to creep under a considerably strong driving force at a maximum reduction ratio as its transmission is placed in drive mode during fast idle-up operation after an engine cold start. SOLUTION: When a braking request is made for the vehicle creeping with wheels driven by the engine during fast idle-up operation, if the occurrence of snow fade is estimated in the braking device for any of the wheels (S50), the vehicle decreases a fast idle rotation speed to reduce a driving torque acting on the wheel (S60).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a collision damage reduction system that appropriately performs collision determination for a horizontal position of an object when determining execution timing of damage reduction control by interpolating TTC.SOLUTION: A collision damage reduction system includes an object detection device 10 that detects an object; an arrival time calculation device 11 that calculates an arrival time required to arrive at the object; and a device control device 12 that evaluates the arrival time and controls a reduction device for damage due to collision with the object. The device control device includes: a horizontal position reference value adjustment means 22 that sets, when the arrival time is not more than a threshold value, a reference value for determining whether or not a horizontal position of the object collides with an own vehicle to be smaller than when the arrival time is larger than the threshold value; an elapsed time count means 24 that counts an elapsed time after an arrival time is obtained from the arrival time calculation device when the horizontal position of the object is smaller than the reference value adjusted by the horizontal position reference value adjustment means; and an avoidance device control means 26 that starts control of an avoidance device.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform braking force retention control with a sufficient braking force without causing increase in frequencies for pressurizing working fluid. SOLUTION: A braking force control device of a vehicle performs the braking force retention control for suppressing decrease in pressure inside a wheel cylinder by limiting the working fluid from circulating from wheel cylinders (26FR-26RL) to a master cylinder (14) with communication control valves (22A, 22B). In this case, when it is determined that a driver performs the braking operation so as to stop the vehicle (S10), the braking force retention control is started so as to keep the braking pressure of wheels (S40) if it is before the vehicle stops, and the braking force by the braking operation of the driver is not less than the braking force required for keeping the vehicle in a stopped state (S20, S30).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vibration reducing device for an internal combustion engine, capable of suppressing the vibration of the internal combustion engine independently of its operating condition. SOLUTION: The vibration reducing device comprises an engine body 10 mounted on a vehicle body 60 via mounts 61, 62, and an alternator 41 to be driven with the rotation of a crank shaft 16. An ECU 51 estimates engine load torque and the displacement of the mounts 61, 62, and sets the alternator load torque of the alternator 41 in accordance with the engine load torque and the displacements of the mounts 61, 62.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a brake control device that prevents a vehicle from starting to move when a braking device has a failure, even if a driver has not recognized the failure of the braking device.SOLUTION: When receiving a brake failure signal from a brake failure sensor 6, a brake ECU 1 sends an alarm signal to an alarm device 8 and sends a brake failure signal to a power train ECU 2. The power train ECU 2 releases a clutch 12 in a power train 5 when receiving the brake failure signal. In addition, the power train ECU makes the clutch 12 engage when an inclination of a road where the vehicle runs is uphill.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for controlling stop holding which prevents a driver from getting off a vehicle stopped by a stop holding control.SOLUTION: A stop holding ECU 1 determines the driver's getting-off intention with a getting-off intention determining part 1 while performing the stop holding control. Here, a braking force lowering control is performed when it is determined that the driver has the getting-off intention. In the braking force lowering control, a braking force provided for the vehicle is decreased, and an alarm is given to the driver. Moreover, when the braking force is decreased, the braking force is gradually decreased.

SOLUTION: The brake control device includes a clearance estimation means estimating the clearance between a rotor rotating with a wheel and a pad generating a braking force by being pressed against the rotor, and a snow fade detection means detecting the snow fade based on the clearance estimated by the clearance estimation means. By estimating the clearance and detecting the snow fade, accurate detection of the snow fade becomes possible, and the snow fade is eliminated securely. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
