Abstract

When the temperature of a three-way catalyst (15) is in a first temperature range (200-300°C), the air-fuel ratio in the catalyst is enriched (S2, S3) and the ammonia level is detected with a downstream ammonia sensor 20 (S4). The detected ammonia level is compared with threshold #A (S5). When the catalyst temperature is further in a second temperature range (350-400°C), the air-fuel ratio in the catalyst is similarly enriched (S7, S8) and the ammonia level is detected (S9). The detected ammonia level is compared with threshold #B (S10). When the ammonia level under the first temperature range is lower than threshold #A and the ammonia level under the second temperature range is at or higher than threshold #B, it is determined that the catalyst is deteriorated (S11).

Abstract

The present invention is provided with an NOx sensor (20) on the downstream side of a ternary catalyst (15) in an internal combustion engine (1), the NOx sensor (20) having sensitivity to NOx density and ammonia density in the exhaust, wherein a detection signal from the NOx sensor (20) is used in exhaust purification control. After the internal combustion engine (1) has started, an assessment is made as to whether there is a predetermined condition, such as a fuel cut in which ammonia is not generated in the ternary catalyst (15), and if the predetermined condition is present, the amount of ammonia detected by the NOx sensor (20) is compared to a predetermined threshold. If the amount of ammonia is less than the threshold, it is determined that there is no effect from ammonia dissolved in condensate water and the use of the detection signal from the NOx sensor (20) is allowed in the exhaust purification control.

Abstract

This charge/discharge control method is for a charge/discharge element (EV1, EV2) and is conducted in every control cycle (ts) from a start time point (t0). The method involves measuring a power consumption amount obtained by integrating the power consumption of the whole group including one or more of the charge/discharge elements (EV1, EV2) from the start time point (t0) to a control time point (t1, t2,...) at which one or more of the control cycles (ts) have elapsed. A target power amount (Ptarget) is obtained by integrating a target power that is predetermined for the whole group, from the start time point (t0) to the control time point. The method involves: determining a command value (Pev(t)) on the basis of an average power amount obtained by dividing, by the control cycle (ts), a differential power amount (ΔE(t)) obtained by subtracting the power consumption amount from the target power amount; and broadcasting the same to the one or more charge/discharge elements (EV1, EV2). Each of the one or more charge/discharge elements that has received the command value (Pev(t)) autonomously controls own charge/discharge power on the basis of the command value (Pev(t)).

Abstract

An aspect of the present invention pertains to an electric vehicle control method for performing attitude control that controls the attitude in the front‐back direction, by adjusting driving force distribution between a front wheel and a rear wheel which are driving wheels. In this control method, the total driving force, which is a required driving force for an electric vehicle, is calculated on the basis of operation of an accelerator pedal. In addition, on the basis of this total driving force, estimated acceleration which is an estimated value for acceleration generated when an electric vehicle is driven with the total driving force, or estimated jerk which is an estimated value for jerk that is the time change rate of acceleration, is calculated. On the basis of the estimated acceleration or the estimated jerk, attitude control execution determination for switching the attitude control on or off is performed.

Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention is an electric vehicle control method for performing posture control for controlling a posture in the front and rear direction by adjusting the drive force allocation of front and rear wheels that are drive wheels. This electric vehicle control method detects a basic posture that is the actual posture in the front and rear direction when an electric vehicle stops. A posture control drive force allocation is also calculated that is the drive force allocation for controlling a posture in the front and rear direction when the electric vehicle is accelerated or decelerated. A corrected drive force allocation is then calculated by correcting the posture control drive force allocation on the basis of the basic posture, and the drive wheels are controlled with this corrected drive force allocation.

If a downstream-side exhaust air–fuel ratio (Rr A/F) detected by a downstream-side air–fuel ratio sensor (20) is equal to or less than a threshold value (RAF1) corresponding to a first oxygen storage capacity (OSA1), the estimated oxygen storage capacity is reset to the value of the first oxygen storage capacity (OSA1) (S2, S3). If the downstream-side exhaust air–fuel ratio (Rr A/F) is equal to or greater than a threshold value (RAF2) corresponding to a second oxygen storage capacity (OSA2), the estimated oxygen storage capacity is reset to the value of the second oxygen storage capacity (OSA2) (S4, S5).

Abstract

In this object detection method and this object detection device, a first image photographed by a first camera and a second image photographed by a second camera are acquired in a vehicle, in which the first camera and the second camera are disposed such that a part of the imaging range of the first camera and a part of the imaging range of the second camera overlap each other. When an object is detected from at least one of the first image and the second image, the moving speed of the object on the image from which the object has been detected is calculated. In the case where the object is detected from both the first image and the second image after the moving speed of the object has been calculated, the distance to the object from the vehicle is calculated on the basis of the object on the first image and the object on the second image. The relative speed of the object to the vehicle is estimated on the basis of the moving speed and the distance.
