    摘要: A driver assistance apparatus includes an environment information obtainer, a visibility value measurer, and a control processor. The environment information obtainer acquires information on a traveling environment around a vehicle. The visibility value measurer measures a visibility value of the vehicle in the traveling environment based on the information on the traveling environment. The control processor determines whether visibility obstruction has occurred based on the visibility value and, when determining that the visibility obstruction has occurred, executes a driver assistance mode against the visibility obstruction. When determining that the visibility obstruction has occurred, the control processor executes one or both of a first process adapted to notify surrounding objects present around the vehicle of the presence of the vehicle depending on the visibility value, and a second process adapted to assist a traveling state of the vehicle.

    摘要: A motor control device according to an embodiment includes a hardware processor configured to: calculate a first torsion torque generated by a motor shaft according to fluctuation of an engine torque based on a difference between a motor angle as a rotation angle of the motor shaft and a shaft angle as a rotation angle of a transmission shaft of a transmission on the downstream side of a damper; calculate a first vibration damping torque to be output by a motor generator to damp vibration of the motor shaft based on the first torsion torque and a drive state value indicating a drive state of an engine; and output a motor torque command value to be provided to the motor generator based on the first vibration damping torque.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a hybrid powertrain system, comprising: an engine; a motor/generator (“MG”); a clutch coupled to the engine and the MG; a transmission coupled to the MG; an energy storage system connected to the MG; and a controller coupled to the engine, the MG, the clutch, the transmission and the energy storage system. The controller is configured to initiate an engine stop, allow engine torque and MG torque to reduce to zero or near zero, shift the transmission to a neutral gear, cause the MG to operate in a generator mode, thereby loading the engine to recover kinetic energy from the engine, disengage the clutch to decouple the MG from the engine, increase the speed of the MG to a target speed, and shift the transmission into gear in response to the MG reaching the target speed.

    摘要: Techniques for reducing the wear on vehicles. For instance, a vehicle may include a bidirectional vehicle that operates in a first mode at which a first end of the vehicle operates as a front of the vehicle and a second mode at which a second end of the vehicle operates as the front of the vehicle. As such, the vehicle may store data representing a first distance that the vehicle has traveled while operating in the first mode and a second distance that the vehicle has traveled while operating in the second mode. The vehicle may then detect the occurrence of an event. Based on the occurrence of the event, the vehicle may select a mode for operating the vehicle using the first distance and the second distance. For example, the vehicle may select the mode that is associated with the shortest distance.
