Abstract
A vehicle control section is operable to control the vehicle based on information on a degree of risk in a risky point through which the vehicle is predicted to drive.
Claims28
A vehicle control apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a receiving section operable to receive information on a degree of risk in a point through which the vehicle is predicted to drive from outside of the vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle control section operable to control the vehicle based on the information received from the outside of the vehicle.
A method for controlling a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving information on a degree of risk in a point through which a vehicle is predicted to drive from outside of the vehicle;
- and
- controlling the vehicle based on the information received from the outside of the vehicle.
A vehicle control method, comprising:
- calculating a degree of risk in a risky point through which a vehicle is predicted to drive;
- controlling the vehicle based on the calculated degree of risk;
- comparing the calculated degree of risk with a predetermined value;
- and
- executing a cut-off of feeding to a load according to the calculated degree of risk in a case where the calculated degree of risk is greater than the predetermined value.
2 more elements
A vehicle control method, comprising:
- calculating a degree of risk in a risky point through which a vehicle is predicted to drive based on environment information on a driving route through which the vehicle is predicted to drive;
- setting a point on the driving route, where the calculated degree of risk thereof is equal to or greater than a predetermined degree of risk as a point where unique charging or discharging of a battery is predicted;
- judging whether the battery has a power required to activate a safety function required at the set point;
- and
- notifying a driver of a predicted risk in a ease where the battery does not have the power required to activate the safety function.

A vehicle control apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle control section operable to control the vehicle based on information on a degree of risk in a risky point through which the vehicle is predicted to drive;
- and
- a degree-of-risk calculating section operable to calculate the degree of risk in a driving area through which the vehicle is predicted to drive,
- wherein the vehicle control section is a load restriction executing section operable to compare the calculated degree of risk with a predetermined value and execute a cut-off of feeding to a load according to the calculated degree of risk in a case where the calculated degree of risk is greater than the predetermined value.
1 more element
A vehicle control apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle control section operable to control the vehicle based on information on a degree of risk in a risky point through which the vehicle is predicted to drive;
- an environment information acquiring section operable to acquire environment information on a driving route through which the vehicle is predicted to drive;
- a degree-of-risk calculating section operable to calculate the degree of risk based on the acquired environment information on the driving route;
- a point setting section operable to set a point on the driving route, where the calculated degree of risk thereof is equal to or greater than a predetermined degree of risk as a point where unique charging or discharging of a battery is predicted;
- and
- a safety function confirming section operable to confirm a safety function required at the set point on the driving route,
- wherein the vehicle control section is a control section operable to judge whether the battery has a power required to activate the safety function required at the set point, and notify a driver of a predicted risk in a case where the battery does not have the power required to activate the safety function.
4 more elements
A vehicle control apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle control section operable to control the vehicle based on information on a degree of risk in a risky point through which the vehicle is predicted to drive;
- and
- a risky point determination section operable to determine whether a position through which the vehicle is predicted to drive is the risky point,
- wherein the vehicle control section is an idling stop permission/prohibition determination section operable to determine whether an idling stop of the vehicle is permitted or prohibited by determining whether there is a possibility to occur a disablement of feeding to a safety equipment mounted on the vehicle based on the degree of risk at the determined risky point.
1 more element
A vehicle slip suppressing apparatus adapted to be mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a permissible G calculating section operable to calculate an ideal vehicle G;
- a vehicle G detecting section operable to detect a vehicle G;
- and
- a vehicle slip judging section operable to judge whether a vehicle slip is occurring,
- wherein the vehicle slip suppressing apparatus executes a vehicle slip avoidance control according to the result of the slip judgment.
