A setting device including a processor is provided. The processor is configured to, when occurrence of a secondary disaster is predicted after occurrence of a disaster, set a region in which the secondary disaster is predicted to a charging-prohibited zone in which use of a charging facility for charging a battery installed in a vehicle is prohibited.

Setting device, display control device, and vehicle display control system

A boundary is at an engine drive restricted zone where operation of the internal combustion engine is restricted. An adjusting device adjusts of at least one of the temperature inside the cabin using electric power, the humidity inside the cabin using electric power, or the air pollution degree inside the cabin. In response to a prediction that (1) a host vehicle will enter the inside of the engine drive restricted zone and that (2a) the time period for the host vehicle to reach the boundary is within a preset time period or that (2b) the distance between the host vehicle and the boundary is within a preset distance, the value of at least one of the temperature inside the cabin, the humidity inside the cabin, and the air pollution degree inside the cabin is reduced before the host vehicle enters the inside of the engine drive restricted zone.

Vehicle control device

A vehicle control device including processor being configured to, when driving sections are present inside a restricted region, extract as a restricted driving section from among driving sections present inside the restricted region a driving section through which it is projected the vehicle will be driven in a restricted time period in which operation of internal combustion engines is restricted, and prepare a driving plan able to drive through the restricted driving section in the EV mode.

Vehicle control device and vehicle control method

A vehicle control device configured to control switching of drive mode of a vehicle including an internal combustion engine and a motor includes a processor configured to switch, in a case where a road surface of a perimeter of a geofencing zone is a road surface on which there is a high probability that the vehicle slips, in a movement route from an outside of the geofencing zone to an inside of the geofencing zone, the drive mode of the vehicle to drive by the motor in a state in which there is a low probability that the vehicle slips, outside the geofencing zone.

Vehicle control device, non-transitory storage medium, and vehicle control system

The home position estimation system includes a GNSS receiver, an object detection device for detecting an object in surroundings of the hybrid vehicle, an identifying part configured to identify the object detected by the object detection device, and a position estimating part configured to estimate a position of the hybrid vehicle based on an output of the GNSS receiver. If a predetermined condition is satisfied and the object identified by the identifying part is an object indicating a boundary of a low emission zone which requires that the internal combustion engine be stopped, the position estimating part is configured to judge whether the hybrid vehicle is located within the low emission zone, regardless of the output of the GNSS receiver, based on a result of identification by the identifying part.

Home position estimation system and home position estimation method

The control device of a vehicle includes a position estimating part configured to estimate a position of the vehicle, and a power output part configured to control the internal combustion engine and the electric motor to output power for running use. The power output part is configured to determine a startup position of the internal combustion engine of the vehicle when the vehicle exits from a low emission zone requesting the internal combustion engine be stopped so that startup positions of internal combustion engines of a plurality of vehicles are dispersed at surroundings of the low emission zone.

Control device of vehicle and internal combustion engine control device

A control system includes a motor-generator, an electric power generation system, and a battery. An EV operation, in which the electric motor is operated while the electric power generation system is stopped, is performed, when an SOC of the battery is higher than a first value, and an HV operation, in which the electric motor is operated while the electric power generation system is operated, is performed, when the SOC is lower than the first value. At the time of the EV operation, in response to a predicted value of the SOC being equal to or higher than a second set value which is lower than the first set value, the EV operation is continued even if the SOC falls below the first value. The predicted value is a predicted value of the SOC assuming continuation of the EV operation from a current location to a destination.

Control system for vehicle

A control system for a hybrid vehicle which includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor and whose drive mode is switchable between an electric vehicle mode and a hybrid vehicle mode includes: an on-board learning unit mounted on the hybrid vehicle and configured to perform a learning action; a position determination unit configured to determine whether the hybrid vehicle is located in a low emission area where operation of the internal combustion engine is supposed to be restricted; and a learning control unit configured to at least partially stop the learning action of the on-board learning unit when determination is made that the hybrid vehicle is located in the low emission area.

Control system and control method for hybrid vehicle

An ECUcalculates a target temperature of a bed temperature of a DOCunder PM regeneration control at each control period by the elements Mto M. Among these elements, the estimating section Mestimates a passing SOamount at each control period by using an inflow SOx amount and a representative temperature. The estimating section Mestimates a SOreduction rate, which is a ratio of reduction from SOto SOin the DOC. Then, the calculating unit Mcalculates an amount of SOthat is allowed to desorb from the DOCas an allowable desorption SOamount at each control period, by using a constrained SOamount which corresponds to a constraint concerning sulfate white smoke, the passing SOamount, and the SOreduction rate.

Engine control apparatus

This control device is configured to, based on a premise that an operating condition of a plant is a specific operating condition that is defined in advance, search for a virtual current value of a controlled variable for ensuring that a specific state quantity does not conflict with a constraint in the future using a prediction model, set the virtual current value which was found by the search to a target value of the controlled variable, and determine a manipulated variable of the plant so that an actual current value of the controlled variable approaches the target value. Due to this configuration, even if the operating condition of the plant suddenly changes to the specific operating condition, the controlled variable of the plant can be adjusted in advance so that the specific state quantity in the specific operating condition does not conflict with the constraint.
