摘要： A steering control apparatus for a vehicle which prevents an interference between a steering operation performed by the steering control apparatus and a steering operation performed by a driver of the vehicle. A guide line provided on a vehicle moving lane is recognized by a forward image of the vehicle so as to set a target position on the vehicle moving lane based on a result of recognition of the guide line. A steering control operation is performed so that the vehicle moves to trace the target position. The steering control operation is started when a distance between the vehicle and the guide line is less than a first predetermined value. The steering control operation is ended when a distance between the vehicle and the guide line exceeds a second predetermined value which is greater than the first predetermined value.

摘要： A steering control apparatus prevents interference between a steering operation of a driver and a steering control operation of the steering control apparatus by detecting a steering operation so as to decrease an amount of the steering control operation when the steering operation is performed by the driver. A guide line provided on a vehicle moving lane on which the vehicle is moving is recognized so as to set a target position on the vehicle moving lane based on a result of recognition of the guide line. A steering control operation is performed so that the vehicle moves to trace the target position. An amount of each component of a steering operation applied to a steering wheel is detected by a steering angle sensor and a steering torque sensor. An amount of the steering control operation is corrected so that the amount of the steering control operation is decreased in accordance with the amount of each component of the steering operation.

摘要： In a hydraulic active suspension system, a plurality of actuators having working fluid chambers are provided corresponding to vehicle wheels. Each actuator is adapted to increase and decrease vehicle height as the results of the supply and the discharge of working fluid to and from its working fluid chamber, respectively. Supplying and discharging devices supply working fluid to and discharge from the working fluid chamber. Vehicle height sensors detect the vehicle heights at the locations corresponding to the vehicle wheels. A control device is further provided. The control device controls the supplying and discharging devices so that the pressure within the working fluid chamber in each actuator may be a value corresponding to the sum of a basic pressure determined according to the running conditions of the vehicle and a compensating pressure determined based upon the integral value of the difference between a standard vehicle height and an actual vehicle height. When the integral value of the difference is larger in magnitude than a predeterminate value, it is reduced in magnitude by the control device so as to prevent the control with the compensating pressure from overriding the control with the basic pressure.

摘要： Information for generating a target speed pattern is computed from information acquired from various sensors and a running mode input switch, so as to generate the target speed pattern (S16). A process for determining whether to form a vehicle group or not calculates the difference between the target vehicle pattern of the own vehicle and a target speed pattern of another vehicle or vehicle group obtained through inter-vehicle communication, so as to determine whether to form the vehicle group or not (S22, S28, S32). This can determine whether to run solo or form a vehicle group according to a driver's demand.

摘要： A suspension pressure control system applies a pressure which is proportional to a current level supplied to a solenoid of a pressure control valve to a shock absorber associated with a suspension from the valve through a cut valve, which cuts off a fluid path from the pressure control valve to the shock absorber when a line pressure is below a predetermined value and communicates the fluid path when the line pressure exceeds the predetermined value. An electronic controller controls the current level to maintain an attitude of a vehicle substantially constant in spite of any change of longitudinal and lateral acceleration, which are detected by acceleration sensors. In order to prevent an abrupt or abnormal change of the pressure of the shock absorber at an initiation of the pressure control of the controller when the vehicle is parking on a slope, the controller initiates the pressure control before the cut valve communicates the fluid path.

摘要： A pressure control valve delivers a pressure which is proportional to a current level chosen to energize a solenoid therein to a shock absorber of a suspension. A spool in the valve has an annular groove for communicating an output port to a high pressure port or a low pressure port selectively. There are conical surfaces or inclined surfaces at edges of lands adjacent to the groove, which incline from annular surfaces of the lands toward the bottom of the groove. The inclined surfaces slow down a change of the flow rate from the high pressure port to the output port and from the output port to the low pressure port when the annular groove communicates with the high pressure port and the low pressure port respectively.

摘要： A vehicle control device includes: a road-to-vehicle communication device which acquires information regarding the volume of traffic in a predetermined section on a road where a vehicle travels and which transmits the traffic volume information to a determination section; a deceleration acquisition section which acquires deceleration of a vehicle in front in the predetermined section and transmits information regarding the deceleration to the determination section; the determination section which determines whether or not a lane change is necessary on the basis of the traffic volume information acquired by the road-to-vehicle communication device and the deceleration acquired by the deceleration acquisition section; and an instruction section which instructs at least either the host vehicle or a vehicle behind to change lane when the determination section determines that a lane change is necessary. Therefore, it is possible to provide a vehicle control device capable of suppressing the occurrence of a traffic jam.
