    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of controlling a vehicle, comprising predicting a first parameter of a vehicle state at each of a plurality of points in time in dependence on a first parameter of a current vehicle state and a first model associated with the vehicle, predicting a second parameter of the vehicle state at each of the plurality of points in time in dependence on a second parameter of the current vehicle state, the predicted first parameter of the vehicle state and a second model associated with the vehicle, and determining one or more control inputs for the vehicle at each of the points in time in dependence on the predicted first and second parameters of the vehicle state at each of the plurality of points in time and desired first and second parameters of the vehicle state at each of the plurality of points in time.

    摘要: A detection unit detects one of a plurality of inter-vehicle areas as an area candidate where the own vehicle can perform lane change. A calculation unit calculates a required inter-vehicle distance which should be secured between the own vehicle and a nearby vehicle upon lane change to the area candidate. An extraction unit extracts, within preset allowable ranges, a standby time and a target speed used for estimating an estimated inter-vehicle distance as lane change conditions which are conditions for the estimated inter-vehicle distance to be equal to or more than the required inter-vehicle distance. When the lane change conditions are extracted, and a determining unit determines that lane change is possible, a setting unit sets the area candidate as the lane change area.

    摘要: A vehicle control device includes a travel control unit configured to control travel of a vehicle on the basis of an action plan including a plurality of events that are sequentially executed to control acceleration and deceleration or steering when the vehicle travels; an abnormality detection unit configured to detect a specific abnormal state that affects a control result of the travel control unit based on the action plan; and a changing unit configured to change content controlled by the travel control unit on the basis of either or both of a type of an event being executed according to control by the travel control unit and a type of an event scheduled to be executed following the event being executed among events included in the action plan when the specific abnormal state is detected by the abnormality detection unit.

    摘要: A vehicle assistance system comprising a computer and a client device. The computer is configured to receive an identification reference and a current position of the first vehicle, provide a route of the first vehicle based on the identification reference and the current position of the first vehicle, receiving an identification reference and current position of a second vehicle, providing a route of the second vehicle based on the identification reference and the current position of the second vehicle, detect an expected location where the route of the first and second vehicle intersect or overlap, detect an expected time when the first and second vehicle intersect at the expected location, generate adaptation data based on the expected location and the expected time, the adaptation data representing an adaptation of a route parameter of the route of the first or second vehicle, sending the adaptation data to the client device.

    摘要: A navigation system aids a driver of a collection vehicle in keeping pace and distance with a lead harvester while collecting grain. The navigation system can be used for any leader-follower vehicle drive formation. A navigation system steers the head vehicle based on a continuously known position and attitude. Navigation data for the lead vehicle is broadcast to a following collection vehicle. A navigation system in the following vehicle processes the lead vehicle navigation data to determine a relative position and attitude. The navigation system in the following vehicle generates steering and speed commands based on the relative position and attitude to automatically drive to a designated target position alongside the lead vehicle. In one example, an artificial oscillation is induced into the target position to more evenly distribute material in the following vehicle.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a driving control apparatus, a driving control method, and a program that can resolve a conflict between a deliberate action and a reflex action during determination of a next action in autonomous driving.During autonomous driving, a reflex action is determined as a simplified action on the basis of detection results detected by a variety of sensors provided in a vehicle, and a deliberate action ranked higher than a reflex action is determined through elaborate processing. A plurality of resolution modes are made available to deal with a possible conflict between the reflex action and the deliberate action, and by which of the resolution modes the conflict is resolved is specified in advance so that the conflict is resolved by the specified resolution mode. The present disclosure is applicable to motor vehicles that drive autonomously.

    摘要: A travel control method comprises: learning points which a vehicle has traveled over based on images of the surroundings of the vehicle captured with a camera mounted on the vehicle; learning the travel trajectory of the vehicle based on vehicle signals obtained from the vehicle; determining whether the vehicle has passed the points based on the images captured with the camera; and performing travel control of the vehicle by using the travel trajectory learned based on the vehicle signals as a target trajectory between the points.

    摘要: A vehicle control apparatus includes a first power supply system, a second power supply system, a switch, and a switch controller. The first power supply system includes a driving controller that executes an automated driving control, and a first electricity storage device coupled to the driving controller. The second power supply system includes an electric motor coupled to an engine, and a second electricity storage device coupled to the electric motor. The switch is controlled to an electrically conductive state and a cutoff state. The electrically conductive state includes coupling the first and second power supply systems to each other. The cutoff state includes isolating the first and second power supply systems from each other. The switch controller controls the switch to the electrically conductive state, on the condition that the automated driving control is being executed.
