Abstract

A vehicle control device includes a processor. The processor calculates an instruction value of an operation request for controlling an operation of an actuator mounted on a vehicle based on a motion request from an application. The processor executes feedback control on the instruction value using a deviation between the motion request and a motion result of the vehicle that is calculated based on one of detection values of four wheel velocity sensors. The processor calculates the motion result in the feedback control based on a detection value indicating the second largest vehicle body velocity among the vehicle body velocities indicated by the detection values of the four wheel velocity sensors when the vehicle is braked.

Claims (25)

1. A vehicle control device comprising one or more processors configured to:

calculate a first instruction value of an operation request for controlling an operation of an actuator mounted on a vehicle based on a motion request from an application; and

execute feedback control on the first instruction value using a deviation between the motion request and a motion result of the vehicle that is calculated based on one of detection values of four wheel velocity sensors,

wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

calculate the motion result in the feedback control based on a first detection value indicating a second largest vehicle body velocity among vehicle body velocities indicated by detection values of the four wheel velocity sensors when the vehicle is braked; and

calculate the motion result in the feedback control based on a second detection value indicating a second smallest vehicle body velocity among the vehicle body velocities indicated by the detection values of the four wheel velocity sensors when the vehicle is not braked; and,

a motion manager mounted on the vehicle, wherein

the motion manager includes the one or more processors, and

the one or more processors are configured to:

receive the motion request that corresponds to an application from each of one or more applications;

arbitrate one or more motion requests that is received;

generate the first instruction value of the operation request to be output to a control unit for the actuator based on arbitration result; and

execute the feedback control.

2. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the motion request is an acceleration requested to the vehicle; and

the motion result is an acceleration of the vehicle calculated based on one of the detection values of the four wheel velocity sensors.

3. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

calculate a second instruction value for controlling an operation of the actuator based on a vehicle body velocity;

calculate the vehicle body velocity based on a third detection value indicating a largest vehicle body velocity among the vehicle body velocities indicated by the detection values of the four wheel velocity sensors when the vehicle is braked; and

calculate the vehicle body velocity based on a fourth detection value indicating a smallest vehicle body velocity among the vehicle body velocities indicated by the detection values of the four wheel velocity sensors when the vehicle is not braked.

4. The vehicle control device according to claim 3 , wherein

the one or more processors include a first processor and a second processor,

the motion manager includes the first processor,

the first processor is configured to calculate the first instruction value by executing the feedback control, and

the second processor is configured to calculate the second instruction value separately from the motion manager.
