Vehicle control apparatus
View Patent ↗A vehicle control apparatus having a vehicle state quantity detection unit for detecting vehicle state quantity such as a roller angular velocity, a lateral jerk calculation unit for calculating lateral jerk of a vehicle based on the vehicle state quantity, and a control unit for carrying out the vehicle control based on the lateral jerk.
1. A vehicle control apparatus comprising:
a vehicle state quantity detection unit for detecting a vehicle state quantity;
a lateral jerk calculation unit for calculating a lateral jerk of a vehicle in a lateral vehicle direction based on said vehicle state quantity, said lateral jerk calculation unit estimating said lateral jerk using a transfer function having, as input, a roll angular velocity of the vehicle and, as output, an estimated lateral jerk; and
a control unit for carrying out vehicle control so as to start a vehicle acceleration or deceleration in an anterior-posterior longitudinal direction of the vehicle, end the vehicle acceleration or deceleration in said anterior-posterior longitudinal direction of the vehicle, or make the vehicle acceleration in said anterior-posterior longitudinal direction of the vehicle constant when a value of said estimated lateral jerk is near zero.
2. A vehicle comprising the vehicle control apparatus according to claim 1 .
3. A vehicle control apparatus comprising:
a vehicle state quantity detection unit for detecting a vehicle state quantity, including a steering angle of a vehicle;
a lateral jerk calculation unit for calculating a lateral jerk of the vehicle in a lateral vehicle direction based on said vehicle state quantity, said lateral jerk calculation unit estimating said lateral jerk based on said steering angle; and
a control unit for carrying out vehicle control so as to start a vehicle acceleration or deceleration in an anterior-posterior longitudinal direction of the vehicle, end the vehicle acceleration or deceleration in said anterior-posterior longitudinal direction of the vehicle, or make the vehicle acceleration in said anterior-posterior longitudinal direction of the vehicle constant when a value of said lateral jerk is near zero.
4. A vehicle comprising the vehicle control apparatus according to claim 3 .
