Vehicle behavior control apparatus

A rapid acceleration suppression device of a subject vehicle includes: an information acquisition part configured to acquire information on vehicle speed and time-series information on accelerator position; a determination part configured to determine whether or not the accelerator has been performed abnormally, based on the time-series information on the accelerator position; and a control part configured to provide control over a drive force of the subject vehicle, based on a current vehicle speed and a current accelerator position. If the determination part determines that the accelerator has been performed abnormally, the control part allows an acceleration of the subject vehicle within a range within which the current vehicle speed does not exceed a preset upper limit vehicle speed.

Rapid acceleration suppression device

A control apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a travel controlling unit for executing a one-pedal function for controlling both a driving force and a braking force of the vehicle according to an operation amount of an accelerator pedal, and an output controlling unit capable of displaying, on a display device of the vehicle, a first indicator indicating that the one-pedal function is enabled and a second indicator indicating that a stopped state of the vehicle is being held by a braking force of the one-pedal function.

Control apparatus and control method

A vehicle running control device that is provided with an accelerating-decelerating operation element with an operation range inclusive of a driving range and a braking range includes the following. An input-output section that receives various information including information on a direction in which the vehicle is currently running, a determining section that determines whether the vehicle is in a switch-back state, and an acceleration-deceleration control section that controls the vehicle running. When a braking-driving request value for an operation of the accelerating-decelerating operation element is in the braking range and the determining section determines that the vehicle is in the switch-back state, the acceleration-deceleration control section keeps the braking-driving force at a braking-driving force that is applied to the vehicle when a shift range switch request is accepted.

A vehicle deceleration controller includes: a brake pedal; an accelerator pedal which is operated when an acceleration/deceleration request of a vehicle is inputted; a target acceleration/deceleration setting part configured to set a target deceleration based on a deceleration operation of the accelerator pedal; and an acceleration/deceleration control part configured to, when the accelerator pedal is operated to decelerate the vehicle, provide deceleration control over the vehicle such that an actual deceleration follows the target deceleration set by the target acceleration/deceleration setting part. In a case where the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are operated simultaneously, the acceleration/deceleration control part is configured to, when a required deceleration level based on a deceleration operation of the brake pedal is present nearer an acceleration side, compared to a previously-set reference deceleration, then provide deceleration control over the vehicle, such that the actual deceleration follows the reference deceleration.

Vehicle deceleration controller

A control device configured to control a vehicle is provided. The device comprises a traveling control unit capable of executing a one-pedal function of controlling both a driving force and a braking force of the vehicle in accordance with an operation amount of an accelerator pedal, and an output control unit of notifying a driver of an instruction to depress a brake pedal in a case in which a seatbelt is detached during execution of the one-pedal function and during traveling of the vehicle, and the vehicle stops in that state.

Control device, control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A MG-ECU includes, as a regeneration limiting value, a limited value set according to a state of a battery, and an unlimited value enabling generation of braking force greater than the limited value. In a state in which regenerative braking is being limited, the MG-ECU causes frictional braking force to be generated based on a difference between the unlimited value and the drive force demand of a driver. In cases in which the frictional braking force is also limited in a state of the regenerative braking, the MG-ECU switches the regeneration limiting value from the limited value to the unlimited value, and requests a motor-generator to generate regenerative braking based on the limited value.

The left and right front side frames are formed from left and right side inner panels and left and right side outer panels. The left and right side outer panels are formed from left and right rear outer panels and left and right front outer panels. The left and right front outer panels are formed from left and right side plates, left and right upper plates, and left and right lower plates. At least one of the set of the left and right upper plates and the set of the left and right lower plates is formed by members different from the left and right side plates.

Provided is a method of controlling an electric vehicle capable of preferably performing a regenerative control when a plurality of forward driving ranges are shifted to each other. During travelling on a downhill road, an electric vehicle executes a downhill regenerative control for adjusting the regenerative amount of an electric motor so that acceleration obtained when an accelerator is closed becomes a downhill acceleration according to a road surface slope. The downhill acceleration obtained when a second forward driving range is selected, in which the deceleration of the electric vehicle becomes larger than that in a first forward driving range, is smaller over the entire range of the set road surface slope than the downhill acceleration obtained when the first forward driving range is selected.

Spray nozzle attachment for a pressurized aerosol can

A cap comprising of a cover (2) and a tubular body (1) for use on an aerosol can (5). The tubular body (1), fitted onto the aerosol can (5), contains a perpendicular bar (10), horizontal bar (6), ducts (30) to release the contents on the can. To activate the ejection valve stem (14), a lever mechanism is incorporated in the cover which can be disposed in an open and close position. In the open position, the upper portion of the cover (26) depressed, activates the ejection valve stem (14), releasing the contents. When upper portion of cover is moved to a close position, it is not possible to accidentally activate the ejection valve stem. Audible sound is created when the cover reaches the open and close position.
