An obstacle avoidance control apparatus is provided with an obstacle detecting section, a first obstacle proximity distance prediction section, a second obstacle avoidance direction determining section, a target vehicle body slip angle setting section and a vehicle behavior controlling section. The obstacle detecting section detects preceding obstacles. The first obstacle proximity distance prediction section predicts a closest proximity distance between the host vehicle and a first (closest) obstacle. The second obstacle avoidance direction determining section determines a second obstacle avoidance direction to avoid the second obstacle. The target vehicle body slip angle setting section sets a target vehicle body slip angle, such that the host vehicle faces further inward of the turning direction as the proximity distance increases. The vehicle behavior controlling section controls the host vehicle so that an actual vehicle body slip angle coincides with the target vehicle body slip angle at the time of closest proximity.

A tire state estimator includes a lateral force upper limit estimating section, a lateral force estimating section, and a tire slip angle estimating section. The lateral force upper limit estimating section calculates an estimated tire lateral force upper limit, on a basis of an estimated tire slip angle and a measured tire self aligning torque. The lateral force estimating section calculates an estimated tire lateral force, on a basis of the estimated tire lateral force upper limit calculated by the lateral force upper limit estimating section and the estimated tire slip angle. The tire slip angle estimating section calculates the estimated tire slip angle, on a basis of the estimated tire lateral force calculated by the lateral force estimating section and a measured vehicle state.

A method and apparatus for rapidly causing a slip of a driving wheel to converge regardless of the change in vehicle conditions when the driving wheel is in a slip state. When a slip occurs on a driving wheel, a second driving force command value is calculated from a driving force control value controlled by driving force control means and an angular acceleration. The second driving force command value is calculated so that torque capable of being transmitted to a road surface by the driving wheel takes the maximum value. Therefore, even if the friction coefficient of road surface or the wheel load changes, the driving torque of driving wheel can be commanded properly, so that the slip can be converged rapidly. The occurrence of slip at the time of re-acceleration after slip convergence can be avoided.

Along with detecting speed of a hybrid vehicle, a drive/brake power command value for the vehicle is set, and an efficiency indication which indicates the efficiency of fuel utilization is also set. An operational point for an internal combustion engine and an electric motor of the vehicle is determined which makes the amount of charge into a battery smaller, the greater is this efficiency indication, based upon the detected vehicle speed, and the drive/brake power command value and the efficiency indication. In this manner, it is possible to control the engine and the motor so as to bring the remaining amount of charge in the battery to a target value while keeping the fuel consumption over the route to be travelled as low as possible.

This invention relates to a valve timing control device for a vehicle engine (2) which performs combustion stop in a predetermined vehicle running condition. The predetermined vehicle running condition comprises, for example, engine startup, and combustion stop is performed by stopping fuel supply to the engine (2) or stopping ignition of the supplied fuel. The device comprises an actuator (51A, 52, 55, 61) which varies the timing of an intake valve of the engine (2) according to an input signal, and a microprocessor (16, 31) which outputs the signal to the actuator (51A, 52, 55, 61). The microprocessor (16, 31) is programmed to determine whether or not combustion has stopped (S80), and when combustion has stopped, control the signal so that the open/close timing of the intake valve is retarded compared to the case when combustion has not stopped (S94).

A target drive torque is calculated based on a detected value for vehicle speed and a detected value for an accelerator pedal depression amount. A generator torque is calculated for a motor(1,4) based on a battery SOC. An engine(2) is controlled to a torque value which achieves a target drive torque and a generator torque as a target engine torque. The motor(1,4) is controlled to a value which is the difference of a target drive torque and an engine torque estimation value as a target motor torque. In this way, a required generator amount may be achieved under steady-state conditions and it is possible to satisfy charge conditions of the battery(15). In addition, required drive force by the driver can be achieved during transition running and responsive acceleration and deceleration can be performed.

A hybrid drive system for a vehicle comprises a first electric motor in driving relationship to at least one driven wheel, a heat engine, a second electric motor in driving connection to the engine, and a clutch to engage and disengage the engine to and from the driven wheel. Immediately after or upon a command to engage the clutch, a controller retrieves, based on a measure of speed of the driven wheel, data of maximum input torque, which the second motor is capable of absorbing from the engine and data of maximum output torque, which the first motor is capable of producing. The controller compares the torque request command with the retrieved data and selects one of a plurality of different protocols for operation of the first and second electric motors and the heat engine.

A controller (8) controlling a drive force distributed to each wheel (1-4) of a vehicle sets dynamic drive force target values (Fxf**, Fx3**, Fx4**) to the wheels, and determines a variation amount target ratio related to variation amounts (ΔM, ΔFx, ΔFy) of a vehicle yaw moment (M), a vehicle front/aft force (Fx), and a vehicle lateral force (Fy) such that a vehicle behavior generated by the dynamic drive force target values does not vary. The controller (8) determines sets of the drive forces (Fxf(j, k), Fx3(j, k), Fx4(j, k)) realizing the variation amount target ratio, selects drive force command values from these sets such that each drive force command value is within a drive force limiting range, and controls a drive force regulating mechanism (20, 12, 13, 15,16) according to the selected drive force command values.

An obstacle avoidance path computing apparatus is provided with a preceding object detecting section, a host vehicle information detecting section, a preceding object arrival region estimating section and a preceding object avoidance path setting section. The preceding object detecting section detects a preceding object. The host vehicle information detecting section detects host vehicle information. The preceding object arrival region estimating section calculates an estimated arrival region within which the preceding object could arrive after a prescribed amount of time has elapsed since the preceding object was detected, based on an estimated attribute of the preceding object from the preceding object information. The preceding object avoidance path setting section calculates an avoidance path that will not encroach on the estimated arrival region based the preceding object information and the host vehicle information.

A vehicular behavior controller is disclosed. The controller comprises a turning force application mechanism and a stabilization controller. The turning force application mechanism applies a turning force to a vehicle. The stabilization controller is operable to regulate the turning force application mechanism in such a manner that a turning characteristic and a straight travel property of the vehicle are stabilized while in an unstable velocity area when the velocity of the vehicle exceeds a stable limit velocity.
