A vehicle control device includes: a recognition unit configured to recognize a surrounding condition of a vehicle; a driving control unit configured to control acceleration, deceleration, and steering of the vehicle based on a recognition result; and a vehicle abnormality detection unit configured to detect an abnormality in an electric parking brake device. When an abnormality in the driver is detected during traveling of the vehicle, the driving control unit performs control to decelerate the vehicle to a predetermined speed greater than zero by braking by a brake device. In a case where an abnormality in the electric parking brake device is detected before or at a time the vehicle is decelerated to the predetermined speed, the driving control unit causes the vehicle to perform traveling along a traveling road until the recognition unit recognizes a preceding vehicle after the vehicle is decelerated to the predetermined speed.

Using abnormalities with user and electronic parking brake data for vehicle control

A vehicle controller is configured to: recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle; execute first control of giving a first alarm to an occupant of the vehicle in response to a first condition being satisfied; execute second control of controlling braking or steering of the vehicle and giving a second alarm to the occupant in response to a second condition being satisfied; detect an abnormality of the occupant; execute third control of decelerating or stopping the vehicle and giving a third alarm in response to the abnormality of the occupant; and arrange execution of the first, second and third control. The vehicle controller executes the third control with priority over the first control when conditions of the first control and the third control are satisfied; and executes the second control with priority over the third control when conditions of the second control and the third control are satisfied.

Vehicle control device

A vehicle control device includes: a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a host vehicle; an input unit configured to receive an input operation from an occupant of the host vehicle; a controller configured to perform automatic stop control of decelerating and stopping the host vehicle when the input operation is received by the input unit; and a setter configured to perform a setting process of setting a first time after the input operation has been received by the input unit and until the automatic stop control is started by the controller. The setter is configured to change the first time based on a result of recognition of a following vehicle of the host vehicle from the recognizer in the setting process.

A driving assistance device includes an unable-to-drive state detection unit configured to detect that a driver is in an unable-to-drive state, the unable-to-drive state detection unit being provided in a vehicle, and a stop control unit configured to execute an automatic stop control causing the vehicle to decelerate and stop based on whether the unable-to-drive state is detected by the unable-to-drive state detection unit, wherein the vehicle is provided with an operator configured to operate the vehicle, includes an operation state detection unit configured to detect an operation state of the operator, and cancels the execution of the automatic stop control in a case where the operation state detection unit detects that the operation state of the operator has changed multiple times during transition to the automatic stop control or during the automatic stop control.

Driving assistance device and driving assistance method

A cylinder deactivation change apparatus including fuel supply parts supplying fuel into a first and second combustion chambers of a first and second cylinders, ignition parts igniting fuel-air mixture in the first and the second combustion chambers and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform determining whether changing the operation mode is necessary, and controlling the fuel supply parts and ignition parts so as to ignite at first ignition timing before it is determined that changing the operation mode to the first mode is necessary, and so as to ignite at second ignition timing retarded in comparison with the first ignition timing and so as to supply the fuel into the first combustion chamber in a manner that causes a stratified charge combustion in the first combustion chamber, when it is determined that changing the operation mode to the first mode is necessary.

Cylinder deactivation change apparatus

A control device is provided capable of reliably preventing occurrence of a surging state by judging a possibility of the surging state in a relatively easy manner and promptly executing a surging state avoidance control. When a supercharging pressure decreasing state in which a target supercharging pressure decreases is detected, an operating speed of a wastegate valve is determined based on a detected engine rotational speed. That is, by lowering the operating speed as the engine rotational speed lowers, reduction in flow rate of the air passing through a compressor is prevented, and the occurrence of the surging state is reliably prevented. By lowering the operating speed instead of changing a target opening degree of the wastegate valve, a maximum opening degree of the wastegate valve can be suppressed, and responsiveness in the case where an acceleration request is made immediately after deceleration of an engine can be improved.

Control device of internal combustion engine

A preparation control for suppressing fluctuation of an output torque of the engine at the time of executing switching operation from the whole cylinder operation to the partial cylinder operation is executed when having made a switching request from the whole cylinder operation to the partial cylinder operation. The target switching time executing the switching operation is calculated in accordance with the valve operation phase after the preparation time is completed. The cylinder deactivation mechanism is controlled such that the switching operation is executed at the target switching time. The target switching time is set in accordance with the valve operation phase at the timing in which the abnormal noises are not generated.

The throttle valve opening degree detector detects an opening degree of a throttle valve which is provided downstream with respect to a compressor of a supercharger. The air bypass valve controller opens an air bypass valve based on a reduction change in the opening degree of the detected throttle valve. The air bypass valve is configured to open and close a bypass path. The torque reduction controller controls the throttle valve to reduce the opening degree of the throttle valve while an automatic transmission connected to the internal combustion engine is in an acceleration shifting in order to execute a torque reduction control. The air bypass valve controller maintains the air bypass valve in a close state during the torque reduction control.
