    摘要: A vehicle control device has a processor configured to set a reference curve speed when a vehicle is traveling on a curved road based on the speed of the vehicle and the curvature radius of the road, determine a target curve speed based on the reference curve speed and a current correction value, count the number of changes the speed of the vehicle has been changed from the target curve speed by driver operation and calculate a new correction value for the reference curve speed based on a correction coefficient determined each time the number of changes has been counted and the amount of change in the speed of the vehicle that has changed from the target curve speed by driver operation, wherein the subsequent target curve speed is determined based on the reference curve speed and the new correction value.

    摘要: A control apparatus is provided for a vehicle that includes (i) an engine serving as a drive power source, (ii) a motor/generator serving as the drive power source and (iii) a mechanically-operated transmission mechanism that constitutes a part of a power transmitting path between the drive power source and drive wheels of the vehicle. The control apparatus includes a shift control portion is configured, when an input torque inputted to the mechanically-operated transmission mechanism is to be controlled in process of a coasting shift-down action executed in the mechanically-operated transmission mechanism, to determine an upper limit value of the input torque inputted to the mechanically-operated transmission mechanism in the process of the coasting shift-down action, such that the determined upper limit value is lower during operation of the engine than during stop of the engine.

    摘要: A control device is provided for a vehicle which includes an electric motor that executes regeneration during deceleration of the vehicle and which performs manned running with at least one occupant in the vehicle and also unmanned running without any occupant in the vehicle. The control device is configured to cause the electric motor to execute the regeneration within a regeneration allowable range, such that the regeneration allowable range for the unmanned running of the vehicle is larger than the regeneration allowable range for the manned running of the vehicle. The regeneration allowable range is defined by, for example, an allowable maximum regenerative torque that is variable depending on a running speed of the vehicle upon the regeneration by the electric motor.

    摘要: A vehicle controller includes a processor configured to detect an inconsistent section where information on a road represented in a first map is inconsistent with information on the road represented in a second map, make a first driving plan for a first section from a current position of a vehicle to a control switching point which is a start point of the inconsistent section or is nearer the vehicle than the start point, based on one of the first and second maps, make a second driving plan for a second section beyond the control switching point including the inconsistent section, based on the other of the first and second maps, before the vehicle reaches the control switching point, and control the vehicle so as to follow the first driving plan on the first section and follow the second driving plan on the second section.

    摘要: A vehicle control device has a processor configured to determine a set speed for a vehicle representing a target speed based on a speed limit of a road, and a current correction value corresponding to the speed limit of the road, count a number of changes the set speed for the vehicle has been changed by a driver, and calculate a new correction value for the set speed for the vehicle based on a correction coefficient determined based on the number of changes, and speed difference between the set speed for the vehicle after change and the speed limit of the road, each time the number of changes has been counted, wherein the next set speed for the vehicle is determined based on the speed limit of the road on which the vehicle is traveling and the new correction value corresponding to the speed limit of the road.
