AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Existing vehicle deceleration control systems do not provide appropriate deceleration control with minimal passenger discomfort, especially in coasting driving modes, which affects energy efficiency.

⚗Method used

A control device that manages deceleration requests through multiple operators, including an acceleration request, deceleration request, and additional operators for increasing or decreasing deceleration, allowing for staged deceleration adjustments based on driver input, and includes a display to indicate energy transfer between the motor and battery, enhancing intuitive operation.

🎯Benefits of technology

Enables smooth and comfortable deceleration control, reducing passenger discomfort and improving energy efficiency by allowing precise deceleration adjustments in response to driver intent, with intuitive operation and enhanced marketability.

Abstract

An ECU (9) sets the deceleration of a vehicle to a first deceleration in a state in which, when the vehicle is traveling, an accelerator operator (14) is not being operated and an operating unit (10) is not being operated. Furthermore, the ECU (9) sets the deceleration of the vehicle to a zeroth deceleration when a plus paddle (10a) of the operating unit (10) is operated from a state in which the operating unit (10) is not being operated, and sets the deceleration of the vehicle to a second deceleration when a minus paddle (10b) of the operating unit (10) is operated while traveling with the zeroth deceleration. Meanwhile, the ECU (9) sets the deceleration of the vehicle to a third deceleration when the minus paddle (10b) is operated from a state in which the operating unit (10) is not being operated.
