A vehicle control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle, a driving controller configured to execute driving control for controlling one or both of steering and a speed of the vehicle, an incoming call determiner configured to determine presence or absence of an incoming call for an occupant of the vehicle, and a notification controller configured to notify the occupant of information about an operation of the vehicle based on the driving control and information about the incoming call in a mode corresponding to a state of the driving control. The driving controller determines whether or not to make a lane change from a travel lane of the vehicle to an adjacent lane on the basis of a degree of progress of the control if the incoming call is present when control related to the lane change of the vehicle is executed.

Vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and storage medium

A driving assistance device in a vehicle, the driving assistance device comprises a control unit configured to perform a lane change from a traveling lane in which the vehicle travels to a branch lane branching from the traveling lane, by driving assistance capable of automatically performing the lane change on an initiative of a system. The control unit acquires a travel distance in the branch lane, an elapsed time in the branch lane, and information indicating passage of an end position of the branch lane detected based on map information or external environment recognition information, after the lane change is completed by crossing a division line of the traveling lane, and ends the driving assistance in the branch lane.

Driving assistance device, vehicle, driving assistance method, and storage medium

The present invention provides a driving support device that performs driving support of a vehicle, comprising: a speed detector configured to detect a speed of the vehicle; and a controller configured to control lane change support from a traveling lane in which the vehicle travels to an adjacent lane, in a case where the speed of the vehicle detected by the speed detector is equal to or greater than a threshold, wherein the controller is configured to execute the lane change support even when the speed of the vehicle detected by the speed detector is lower than the threshold, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the predetermined condition includes a condition that the lane change support is executed in a start area of a new lane adjacent to the traveling lane that increases the number of lanes.

When a scheduled traveling route is changed during travelling of an electrical vehicle, a management ECU of the electrical vehicle maintains control of a travelling mode based on a travelling plan created based on the scheduled traveling route before the change, in accordance with a result of comparison between first attribute information and second attribute information, the first attribute information indicating an attribute of at least one section, which is located within a predetermined distance from a section in which the electrical vehicle is located and located in a vehicle travelling direction, of the scheduled traveling route before the change, the second attribute information indicating an attribute of at least one section, which is located within a predetermined distance from a section in which the electrical vehicle is located and located in a vehicle travelling direction, of the scheduled traveling route after the change.

Control device, control method, and electrical vehicle

A control device of a vehicle includes a discharge control unit. The discharge control unit, in a case where a plurality of regenerative sections are included in a scheduled traveling route, extracts a first regenerative section on a vehicle side, a second regenerative section closest to the first regenerative section, and a dischargeable section between the first regenerative section and the second regenerative section. The discharge control unit, in a case where a predicted regenerative electric power amount in the first regenerative section is greater than a predicted discharge electric power amount in the dischargeable section, sets a section obtained by merging the first regenerative section, the second regenerative section, and the dischargeable section as a control target section, and performs the discharge control based on a remaining capacity of a power storage device and a predicted regenerative electric power amount in the control target section.

Control device of vehicle

A fuel cell system includes a FC, a TRC, an oxygen-containing gas supply apparatus, a battery, and an ECU. The ECU is capable of performing power consumption control which allows the oxygen-containing gas supply apparatus to consume electrical energy during regeneration of the TRC. The ECU is configured to determine a charge margin with respect to a charge limitation value of the battery, in a manner that the charge margin set after the power consumption control starts becomes smaller than the charge margin set before the power consumption control is performed.

Fuel cell system

A control system for an internal combustion engine, which is capable of quickly and properly ensuring excellent fuel economy of the engine even when atmospheric pressure has changed. The control system includes an ECU. The ECU performs weighted average calculation on lowland map values and highland map values, based on atmospheric pressure, to thereby calculate map values of a demanded torque that minimize a fuel consumption ratio of the engine in the atmospheric pressure, and calculates engine demanded output. The ECU calculates demanded torque and demanded engine speed using the map values and the engine demanded output, respectively. The ECU controls the engine using the demanded torque.

Control system for internal combustion engine

A hybrid electric vehicle drive apparatus has a setting portion for setting a limit value of a driving torque that a motor outputs when driving a hybrid electric vehicle by the power of the motor only, based on a maximum torque that the motor enables to output and a starting torque used to start an internal combustion engine by the motor. The setting portion sets the limit value to a first value and sets the limit value to a second value which is greater than the first value when a vehicle speed of the vehicle does not increase even though an accelerator pedal position degree increases while the vehicle is being driven only by the motor.

Hybrid electric vehicle drive apparatus

A hybrid vehicle determines whether or not the drive mode thereof is shifted from a series drive to an engine direct coupled drive with a power transmission engaging/disengaging portion applied, derives a rotational speed at a drive wheel side of the power transmission engaging/disengaging portion which corresponds to a driving speed as an applying rotational speed of an internal combustion engine at which the power transmission engaging/disengaging portion is applied, and applies the power transmission engaging/disengaging portion by controlling the operation of the internal combustion engine when a difference in rotational speed between the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine and the applying rotational speed becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined value after the shift to the engine direct coupled drive is determined.
