    摘要: A vehicle includes a steering device, a torque sensor, and an electronic control unit. The steering device includes a rack shaft, a steering shaft, and a turning actuator including an electric motor connected to the rack shaft or the steering shaft via a motion conversion mechanism. The torque sensor is configured to detect a steering torque by a driver, the torque sensor being attached to the steering shaft. The electronic control unit is configured to switch from turning of the wheels by an automatic steering control to turning of the wheels based on at least a steering operation by the driver in a case where a torque detected by the torque sensor exceeds a torque threshold value during execution of the automatic steering control of the wheels. The torque threshold value is changed in accordance with a temperature of the motion conversion mechanism.

    摘要: A vehicle includes an ADK attachable to and removable from a vehicle main body, the ADK issuing an instruction for autonomous driving, a VP including a plurality of functional units that perform a plurality of prescribed functions of the vehicle main body, and a VCIB that issues a control instruction to the functional units in accordance with an instruction from the ADK. One of the plurality of functional units is a steering system that steers the vehicle main body. The steering system specifies a limit value of a steering rate in accordance with a prescribed reference and transmits the specified limit value to the ADK through the VCIB. The ADK calculates a target steering angle to satisfy the limit value received from the steering system and transmits an instruction for the calculated steering angle to the steering system through the VCIB.

    摘要: A turning mechanism of a vehicle turns a wheel and is coupled to a steering wheel through a steering shaft. A torque sensor detects a torque applied to a first position of the steering shaft, as a sensor-detected torque. An upper friction torque is an absolute value of the sensor-detected torque that is caused by a friction force acting on the steering shaft between the first position and the steering wheel when the steering shaft is rotated. A vehicle control system repeatedly estimates the upper friction torque and variably sets a determination threshold to the estimated upper friction torque or more. The vehicle control system determines whether a driver state is a hands-on state or a hands-off state based on a comparison between the absolute value of the sensor-detected torque and the determination threshold.

    摘要: A vehicle (10) includes a VP (120) that carries out vehicle control in accordance with a command from an autonomous driving system (202) and a vehicle control interface (110) that interfaces between the autonomous driving system (202) and the VP (120). A tire turning angle command that requests for a wheel steer angle is transmitted from the autonomous driving system (202) to the VP (120). A signal indicating an estimated wheel angle which is an estimated value of the wheel steer angle is transmitted from the VP (120) to the autonomous driving system (202). The VP (120) steers the vehicle in accordance with the tire turning angle command set based on a wheel estimation angle while the vehicle (10) is in a straight-ahead travel state.

    摘要: An autonomous driving system mounted on a vehicle determines a target path based on necessary information and performs vehicle travel control such that the vehicle follows the target path. A first coordinate system is a vehicle coordinate system at a first timing when the necessary information is acquired. A second coordinate system is a vehicle coordinate system at a second timing later than the first timing. The autonomous driving system calculates, based on the necessary information acquired at the first timing, a first target path defined in the first coordinate system. Then, the autonomous driving system corrects the first target path to a second target path defined in the second coordinate system by performing coordinate transformation from the first coordinate system to the second coordinate system. The autonomous driving system uses the second target path as the target path to perform the vehicle travel control.

    摘要: When a steering intervention of the driver is performed during automated steering control, a driver assistance system for a vehicle determines a P control amount based on a non-linear characteristics and calculates an I control amount using a coefficient according to a characteristics (solid line). In an angle difference range R1, the P control amount based on the non-linear characteristics is determined such that the amount of increase of absolute value of the P control amount with respect to the amount of increase of absolute value of the angle difference becomes smaller as compared to a linear characteristics. The coefficient with the characteristics (solid line) indicates 1 in the angle difference range R1, and approaches zero when the absolute value of the angle difference is greater in an angle difference range R2. To calculate the I control amount, the coefficient is multiplied by the current value of the angle difference.
