    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and a method for controlling an internal combustion engine such that emissions may not worsen during recovery from a fuel cut. An internal combustion engine control apparatus executes feedback control on the air-fuel ratio of an internal combustion engine. The control apparatus increases a supply of fuel, with the air-fuel ratio feedback stopped, when combustion restarts after a fuel cut of the internal combustion engine. The control apparatus sets the air-fuel ratio criteria based on a rich-side peak value of the air-fuel ratio obtained after the fuel supply increase starts. The control apparatus starts the air-fuel ratio feedback when the air-fuel ratio falls within the set air-fuel ratio criteria after the fuel supply increase.

    Abstract: A control device for a variable compression ratio mechanism for changing a compression ratio of an internal combustion engine by rotating a control shaft connected to an output shaft of an actuator, wherein with respect to a reference position, the control device determines the rotation angle of the control shaft by sequentially integrating the output values of an angle sensor that detects the rotation angle of the output shaft of the actuator in a range of 0° to 360° such that the rotation angle approaches a target angle. When the internal combustion engine is stopped, the control device rotates the control shaft to a high-compression-ratio side and a low-compression-ratio side, respectively, toward a stopper mechanism that defines the rotatable range and compares the determined rotation angle and a reference operation angle to diagnose whether a failure has occurred in the variable compression ratio mechanism.

    Abstract: In some examples, a service computing device receives, from a vehicle computing device onboard a vehicle, a communication including sensor data obtained from at least one sensor onboard the vehicle. Based on the communication, the service computing device determines a transmission delay corresponding to a difference between a time when the vehicle sent the communication and a time when the communication was received. Based on the communication, the service computing device determines a trajectory of the vehicle on a travel route. Based on the sensor data, transmission delay, wind direction and magnitude, surrounding objects, and trajectory, the service computing device determines vehicle control information for the vehicle. The service computing device sends, to the vehicle, based at least on the vehicle control information, at least one instruction causing the vehicle to perform at least one control operation for traversing one or more locations associated with the trajectory of the vehicle.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to obtain an update management system that makes it possible to perform writing and switching of a program in an ECU configuration having redundancy while a vehicle is traveling, even when the ECU configuration does not have a double-sided memory structure. An update management system of the present invention is mounted on a vehicle and includes: a plurality of arithmetic operation devices; and an update management device that controls the plurality of arithmetic operation devices. The plurality of arithmetic operation devices include at least a first arithmetic operation device and a second arithmetic operation device. The update management device determines whether the second arithmetic operation device is executing a redundant process while the vehicle is traveling, and when determining that the second arithmetic operation device is not executing the redundant process, the update management device restricts execution of the redundant process by the first arithmetic operation device and updates a program stored in the second arithmetic operation device.
