Abstract

A control device configured to control a vehicle is provided. The device comprises a traveling control unit capable of executing a one-pedal function of controlling both a driving force and a braking force of the vehicle in accordance with an operation amount of an accelerator pedal, and an output control unit of notifying a driver of an instruction to depress a brake pedal in a case in which a seatbelt is detached during execution of the one-pedal function and during traveling of the vehicle, and the vehicle stops in that state.

Claims (15)

1. A control device configured to control a vehicle, the device comprising:

at least one processor circuit with a memory comprising instructions, that when executed by the processor circuit, cause the at least one processor circuit to at least:

execute a one-pedal function of controlling both a driving force and a braking force of the vehicle in accordance with an operation amount of an accelerator pedal; and

notify a driver of an instruction to depress a brake pedal in response to a case in which a seatbelt changes from an attached state to a detached state during execution of the one-pedal function and during traveling of the vehicle, and the vehicle stops in the detached state of the seatbelt.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in the case in which the seatbelt changes from the attached state to the detached state during execution of the one-pedal function and during traveling of the vehicle, and the vehicle stops in the detached state of the seatbelt, the instructions further cause the at least one processor circuit to start actuating an electric parking brake after an elapse of a predetermined time from the stop.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein after the start of the actuation of the electric parking brake after the elapse of the predetermined time, the instructions further cause the at least one processor circuit to increase an intensity of the electric parking brake stepwise.

4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein in a case in which the actuation of the electric parking brake started after the elapse of the predetermined time is completed, the instructions further cause the at least one processor circuit to display, on a display device of the vehicle, a first indicator indicating that the actuation of the electric parking brake is completed, and ends the notification of the instruction to depress the brake pedal.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processor circuit to display, on a display device of the vehicle, a second indicator indicating that a stop state of the vehicle is held by a braking force of the one-pedal function, and

in the case in which the seatbelt changes from the attached state to the detached state during execution of the one-pedal function and during traveling of the vehicle, and the vehicle stops in the detached state of the seatbelt, the instructions further cause the at least one processor circuit not to display the second indicator on the display device.

6. A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:

executing a one-pedal function of controlling both a driving force and a braking force of the vehicle in accordance with an operation amount of an accelerator pedal; and:

notifying a driver of an instruction to depress a brake pedal in response to a case in which a seatbelt changes from an attached state to a detached state during execution of the one-pedal function and during traveling of the vehicle, and the vehicle stops in the detached state of the seatbelt.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program comprising instructions, that when executed by at least one processor circuit, cause the at least one processor circuit to at least:

execute a one-pedal function of controlling both a driving force and a braking force of the vehicle in accordance with an operation amount of an accelerator pedal; and

notify a driver of an instruction to depress a brake pedal in response to a case in which a seatbelt changes from an attached state to a detached state during execution of the one-pedal function and during traveling of the vehicle, and the vehicle stops in the detached state of the seatbelt.
