Abstract:
An auxiliary current amount that is used in an auxiliary that is mounted in a vehicle is calculated. A stop time ratio of the vehicle is calculated based on a running history of the vehicle, and an estimated stop time of the vehicle that is estimated based on the stop time ratio is calculated. An SOC threshold is set based on an estimated consumption current amount that is obtained from the estimated stop time and the auxiliary current amount. A generator that is mounted in the vehicle is operated such that a value of a storage state of the battery recovers to become larger than the SOC threshold when the value of the storage state of the battery is smaller than the SOC threshold.
Abstract:
An automobile includes: a traveling road information storage device that stores traveling road information; a traveling position detection device that detects a traveling position of a vehicle; a display device that displays an image in front of a driver; and a control device that controls the display device such that the display device displays an image of a traveling line in front of the driver, based on the traveling position and the traveling road information. The control device controls the display device such that the display device displays the image of the traveling line by switching among traveling lines corresponding to a plurality of traveling patterns. It is possible to display the image of a traveling line depending on a traveling road or driver's need, by switching to a traveling pattern based on the traveling road or driver's need.
Abstract:
A driving control device that is mounted on a vehicle including an electric motor and an internal combustion engine as power sources includes a processor. The processor is configured to: acquire a destination of the vehicle; acquire a past driving history from a point of departure to the destination; acquire a desired state of charge that is a state of charge of a battery desired when the vehicle arrives at the destination; estimate a predicted amount of regenerative energy based on the driving history; set a first section and a second section based on the predicted amount of regenerative energy and the desired state of charge; and control driving of the vehicle based on the first section and the second section.
Abstract:
A power supply control apparatus is provided with: a first calculating device configured to calculate a vehicle stop time rate on the basis of a travel history of the vehicle; a second calculating device configured to calculate a stoppable time rate on the basis of the travel history, and an estimating device configured to estimate an electric power amount associated with the idling stop control, on the basis of the calculated stoppable time rate if the idling stop control is allowed when the vehicle decelerates, and to estimate the electric power amount, on the basis of the calculated vehicle stop time rate if the idling stop control is not allowed when the vehicle decelerates.
Abstract:
A control device includes: a deceleration control unit that performs a free running deceleration control that controls free running deceleration when transition occurs from an operation state to a non-operation state; an index deriving unit that derives a transition phase perceptual risk index; and a relationship adjusting unit that adjusts a relationship between a perceptual risk index and a deceleration. The deceleration control unit derives the deceleration corresponding to the transition phase perceptual risk index based on the relationship and sets the derived deceleration as the free running deceleration. The relationship adjusting unit executes a correction control in which when the transition phase perceptual risk index is larger than the reference perceptual risk index, the reference perceptual risk index is corrected to be increased, and when the transition phase perceptual risk index is smaller than the reference perceptual risk index, the reference perceptual risk index is corrected to be decreased.
Abstract:
A battery type identifying device is capable of identifying the type of a vehicle-mounted lead storage battery. The battery type identifying device includes: a charge processing unit which, on the condition that the state of a lead storage battery has reached a prescribed state as a result of a reduction in the amount of electricity stored therein from a fully charged state, carries out a determination charging process of charging the lead storage battery for a prescribed time; an accepted amount acquiring unit which acquires an amount accepted by the lead storage battery in the period during which the determination charging process is being carried out; and a determining unit which determines whether the lead storage battery is a liquid-type lead storage battery on the basis of the accepted amount acquired by the accepted amount acquiring unit.
Abstract:
A vehicle remote operation system includes a controller correcting a map, which indicates a relationship between an operation amount of a reference vehicle and an operation amount of a vehicle to be operated, based on vehicle characteristic data of the vehicle to be operated, characteristic of the operation device being determined based on characteristic of an operation device of the reference vehicle, correcting an operation amount, which is indicated by the operation signal, in accordance with a characteristic of the vehicle to be operated by using the corrected map, and outputting a control signal indicating the corrected operation amount to the vehicle to be operated so that the vehicle to be operated can be operated in accordance with the corrected operation amount.
