Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively/efficiently use vehicle kinetic energy in deceleration of a vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: By knowing in advance a travel distance to a target point such as a vehicle stop point from a vehicle present position, a vehicle travel speed at the present time, deceleration when coasting of a vehicle, or target point arrival time, possibility/impossibility of arrival at the stop point when starting the coast from a present point is decided. When the arrival is possible, the coast from the point is started. When the arrival is impossible, the above operation is repeated every time traveling a prescribed distance from the vehicle present point, and the coast is started at a time point when the arrival becomes possible. When performing follow traveling to a forward traveling vehicle, the safe and efficient follow traveling not through brake operation is enabled by knowing an inter-vehicle distance to the forward traveling vehicle, a relative speed and a safe inter-vehicle distance, and alternately repeating an acceleration travel start and the coast start in the same specific inter-vehicle distance satisfying the safe inter-vehicle distance, or by performing the coast travel start and the acceleration travel start when arriving at upper and lower limit values Vs+Vr1 and Vs-Vr1 in a relative speed range with the forward traveling vehicle wherein the relative speed is predetermined, wherein Vs is a forward traveling vehicle travel speed, and Vr1 is a setting relative speed with the forward traveling vehicle. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

本願発明は、車両走行の省エネルギー化、排出ガス量低減化、のため、車両の惰性走行を最大限に活用した車両走行制御方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a vehicle travel control method that makes full use of inertial travel of a vehicle in order to save energy and reduce exhaust gas emissions.

走行中に有している車両の運動エネルギーを、車両減速時に有効活用・回収して燃料消費量、排出ガス量を削減しようとする試みは古くから数多くある (特許文献1、特許文献2、特許文献3、等)。
本願発明は上記考え方をより進化させて、ハイブリッド車両の如きエネルギー回生機能を有する車両のみならず、単一駆動源の車両、すなわちエネルギー回生機能を有していない車両においても車両減速時において車両運動エネルギーを効率的に車両の走行エネルギーとするとともに、車両運動エネルギー中の車両走行に供するエネルギーに余るエネルギーを合理的に回収して、車両のエネルギー消費量、排出ガス量の削減を図ろうとするものである。
There have been many attempts to reduce the amount of fuel consumption and exhaust gas by effectively utilizing and recovering the kinetic energy of a vehicle that is in motion during vehicle deceleration (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent). Reference 3, etc.).
The present invention further evolves the above-mentioned concept, and not only a vehicle having an energy regeneration function such as a hybrid vehicle but also a vehicle of a single drive source, that is, a vehicle not having an energy regeneration function, during vehicle deceleration during vehicle deceleration. Energy is efficiently used as vehicle running energy, and energy that is used for vehicle running in vehicle kinetic energy is rationally recovered to reduce vehicle energy consumption and emissions. It is.

本願発明は走行中の車両の有している運動エネルギーE=m・V2/2(ここでm:車両の質量、V:車両走行速度)を最も効率的・効果的に車両走行に活用する方法を示すものであり、その基本的考え方は、車両の惰性走行を運動エネルギーの許す範囲で、また車両走行速度の許す範囲で、できるだけ長距離行おうとするものである。
ここで言う惰性走行とは、車両のエンジン動作、駆動動作、操舵動作等を含む動作状態・操作状態に安全上あるいは信頼性上の支障をきたさない範囲内で車両の運動エネルギーを車両の走行エネルギーに効率的に変換できる走行状態であって、例えば惰性走行中制動動作が必要な状態が発生した場合は直ちに通常走行時の制動動作と同様な制動を行うことができる走行状態をいう。
ここでハイブリッド車両の行っている「車両の有する運動エネルギーをエネルギー回生機能によって回収・蓄積を行い、その後改めて蓄積エネルギーを運動エネルギーへ転換即ち走行エネルギー化する」方法はエネルギーの回収効率および転換効率を考えると惰性走行に比べて効率が落ちることから、惰性走行が可能な状態においては極力エネルギー回生は行わず惰性走行のみ行うこととする。
The present invention (here m: mass of the vehicle, V: vehicle running speed) the kinetic energy E has a running vehicle = m · V 2/2 to make the most efficient and effective vehicle traveling The basic idea is to try to travel as long as possible within the range allowed by the kinetic energy and the range allowed by the vehicle running speed.
Here, inertial running refers to vehicle kinetic energy within the range that does not interfere with safety or reliability in the operation state / operation state including engine operation, drive operation, steering operation, etc. of the vehicle. For example, when a state requiring a braking operation during inertial traveling occurs, the traveling state can immediately perform braking similar to the braking operation during normal traveling.
Here, the method of “collecting and accumulating the kinetic energy of the vehicle by the energy regeneration function and then converting the accumulated energy into kinetic energy, that is, turning it into running energy”, which is performed by the hybrid vehicle, increases the energy recovery efficiency and conversion efficiency. Considering this, the efficiency is lower than that of coasting, so that in the state where coasting is possible, energy regeneration is not performed as much as possible and only coasting is performed.

上記思想実現のための第一の方法として、現地点から車両の停止あるいは徐行すべき地点までの走行距離および走行速度を知って、現時点で惰性走行に移行した場合、停止地点あるいは徐行地点までの一定減速度での惰性走行が可能か否かを判定して可能であれば惰性走行を行う。
この判定には、車両を惰性走行させた場合の減速度(負の加速度:−α)および現地点から停止地点までの車両走行距離情報、現時点での走行速度情報をあらかじめ知っておく必要がある。
ここで減速度(−α)は、自車両の減速度標準値(−α0)はあらかじめ測定して記憶しておくとともに道路状態、例えば道路勾配による補正係数β1、道路表面状態等による補正係数β2等による減速度補正係数βも道路毎、走行方向ごとに記憶しておき、(数1)により算出して使用する。
The first way to realize the above idea is to know the distance and speed from the local point to the point where the vehicle should stop or slow down. It is determined whether or not inertial traveling at a constant deceleration is possible, and inertial traveling is performed if possible.
For this determination, it is necessary to know in advance the deceleration (negative acceleration: -α) when the vehicle is coasting, the vehicle travel distance information from the local point to the stop point, and the current travel speed information. .
Here, the deceleration (−α) is measured and stored in advance as the deceleration standard value (−α 0 ) of the host vehicle, and is corrected by the road condition, for example, the correction coefficient β 1 due to the road gradient, the road surface condition, etc. The deceleration correction coefficient β by the coefficient β 2 or the like is also stored for each road and for each traveling direction, and is calculated and used by (Equation 1).

(数1)
−α=(−α0 )・β
ここで、
β=β1・β2 (ただし、通常はβ=1)
(Equation 1)
−α = (− α 0 ) · β
here,
β = β 1・ β 2 (However, usually β = 1)

以下本願発明による惰性走行可否判断の基本的考え方を図1で説明する。
図1において、運動エネルギーEを有する車両は地点Aから地点Bに向けて走行し、地点Bにおいて停止、すなわち車両の運動エネルギーを0にする、ものとする。
地点A−地点B車両走行距離D0情報、地点Aでの走行速度V0情報、減速度(−α)情報から、(数2)により目標地点Bへの惰性走行による到達の可否を判定する。即ち(数2)が成り立つ場合は、惰性走行によって地点Bへの到達が可能であるとする。
Hereinafter, the basic concept of the inertia traveling determination according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 1, it is assumed that a vehicle having kinetic energy E travels from point A to point B and stops at point B, that is, the kinetic energy of the vehicle is set to zero.
From the point A-point B vehicle travel distance D 0 information, the travel speed V 0 information at the point A, and the deceleration (−α) information, it is determined whether or not the target point B can be reached by inertial travel by (Equation 2). . That is, when (Equation 2) holds, it is assumed that the point B can be reached by coasting.

(数2)
0 /(2・α)−D0 > 0
(Equation 2)
V 0 2 / (2 · α) −D 0 > 0

(数2)が成立しない場合は、地点Aからの通常走行を継続し、地点Aから一定距離DS 走行毎に惰性走行での地点Bへの到達の可否を(数3)により判定する。(数3)を満足した場合その地点(地点An 、地点An −地点B間走行距離Dn 、走行速度Vn )から地点Bへの惰性走行を行う。ただし(数3)におけるDn は、(数4)で示される。 If (number 2) is not satisfied it determines to continue the normal running from the point A, the possibility of reaching from point A to point B in the coasting every predetermined distance D S travel by equation (3). When (Expression 3) is satisfied, coasting from the point (the point An, the point An to the point B-travel distance Dn, the travel speed Vn) to the point B is performed. However, D n in (Expression 3) is expressed by (Expression 4).

(数3)
Vn/(2・α)−Dn > 0
(Equation 3)
Vn 2 / (2 · α) -Dn> 0

(数4)
Dn =D0 −n・Ds
ただし
n:1、2、3、・・・
である。
(Equation 4)
Dn = D 0 -n · Ds
However, n: 1, 2, 3, ...
It is.

但し、上記判定操作は、車両走行速度V0 あるいはVn が低速度の場合は意味がない。なぜなら、惰性走行をしてもその走行距離は短く直ちに直接摩擦ブレーキによる減速を行うことになるからである。
従って上記操作は車両走行速度V0 あるいはVn が(数5)を満足する場合に限定される。
However, the above determination operation is performed only when the vehicle traveling speed V 0 or Vn There is no point if is slow. This is because even if the vehicle is coasting, the traveling distance is short and the vehicle is immediately decelerated by the friction brake.
Therefore, the above operation can be performed with the vehicle running speed V 0 or Vn. Is limited to satisfying (Equation 5).

(数5)
Vmin1 ≦V0 、あるいはVmin1 ≦Vn
但し、
Vmin1 :惰性走行開始のための走行速度下限値
:惰性走行開始のための運動エネルギー下限値Emin1 時の車両走行速度
である。
(Equation 5)
Vmin1 ≤ V 0 or Vmin1 ≤ Vn
However,
Vmin1 : Lower limit of running speed for coasting
: Lower limit of kinetic energy Emin1 for starting coasting Vehicle travel speed at the time.

また惰性走行終了は、基本的には車両の運動エネルギーが減少して一定値Emin2に達した時、すなわち惰性走行時の車両走行速度が前記運動エネルギーEmin2に対応する車両走行速度Vmin2 に減少したときとする。
また本願発明の基本となる減速度は惰性走行実行毎に較正する。
較正された減速度(−α)は、惰性走行開始する地点An における車両走行速度Vnと時刻tan、惰性走行を停止する地点B’での車両走行速度Vmin2 と時刻tb’、 から、(数6)によって求められる。
In addition, the end of inertial traveling is basically performed when the kinetic energy of the vehicle decreases to reach a certain value Emin2, that is, the vehicle traveling speed Vmin2 corresponding to the kinetic energy Emin2 when the vehicle traveling speed during inertial traveling is reached. When it decreases to.
Further, the deceleration that is the basis of the present invention is calibrated every time coasting is performed.
The calibrated deceleration (−α) is determined by the vehicle travel speed Vn and the time tan at the point An where coasting starts and the vehicle travel speed Vmin2 at the point B ′ where coasting is stopped. And time tb ′, are obtained by (Equation 6).

(数6)
−α =−(Vn−Vmin2 )/(tb’ − tan)
ここで、
Vmin2 :車両走行速度がこれ以下になると減速度が変化してしまう、あるいは車両動作・操作の安定性・信頼性に支障をきたしてしまう恐れがあることから惰性走行を停止する速度、
である。
(Equation 6)
=-(Vn-Vmin2 ) / (Tb '− tan)
here,
Vmin2: The speed at which inertial traveling stops because there is a risk that the deceleration will change if the vehicle traveling speed is lower than this, or that the stability / reliability of vehicle operation / operation may be impaired.
It is.

上記較正された減速度が得られた場合は地図データベース中に、対応する道路・走行方向の減速度として記憶・保存し次回の同一道路を惰性走行する際に使用する。
上記較正された減速度(−α)は、道路の上り勾配/下り勾配等の道路勾配情報、舗装道路/未舗装道路等の道路面情報等の前記補正係数βを含んでいる。すなわち標準道路(平坦な舗装道路)における標準減速度(−α0 )を道路勾配あるいは道路面状態での補正係数βで補正した(数1)で示すトータル減速度(−α)が上記減速度である。
When the calibrated deceleration is obtained, it is stored and stored in the map database as a deceleration in the corresponding road / travel direction, and is used for the next coastal inertia.
The calibrated deceleration (−α) includes the correction coefficient β such as road gradient information such as road up / down slope, road surface information such as paved road / unpaved road, and the like. In other words, the standard deceleration (−α 0 ) on the standard road (flat paved road) is corrected by the correction coefficient β in the road gradient or road surface condition, and the total deceleration (−α) shown in (Equation 1) is the above deceleration. It is.

ここで、(数1)において、補正係数βは、通常の舗装状態の上り勾配道路においては、β>1、下り勾配道路においてはβ<1(β<0もありうる)、通常の平坦道路においてはβ=1となる。
上記、βは、道路地図データとして記憶しておき、地図データベース上に惰性走行すべき道路の上記(数6)の如く較正された減速度として記憶されていない場合は、標準減速度α0を補正して使用する。
Here, in (Equation 1), the correction coefficient β is β> 1 for an upgraded road in a normal paved state, β <1 (may be β <0) for a downgraded road, and a normal flat road. In this case, β = 1.
Β is stored as road map data. If the road is to be coasted on the map database and is not stored as a calibrated deceleration as in (Equation 6), standard deceleration α 0 is set. Correct and use.

減速度走行開始時は、前記(数2)あるいは(数3)の演算によって惰性走行が可能と判断できた時点で、アクセルオフ、クラッチオフ、フュエルカット等の車両の運動エネルギーが車両の走行エネルギーに最も効率的に転換できる車両状態への移行操作を行い惰性走行を開始する。ただし自車両の直前に車両が走行中であるような惰性走行に移行しての走行に危険が発生恐れがある場合は惰性走行への移行を中止し、安全状態になるのを待つ。この場合の前方走行車両の検知は車両の前方監視レーダ等において行う。
また、惰性走行中に前記惰性走行停止条件を満足した場合は惰性走行中の車両状態を惰性走行開始直前の車両状態すなわち通常走行状態に移行させて減速・制動操作にうつる。
上記通常走行から惰性走行、惰性走行から通常走行・減速状態への移行のための車両状態操作は一括して自動的に行う方法が望ましい。
At the start of deceleration traveling, when it is determined that inertial traveling is possible by the calculation of (Equation 2) or (Equation 3), the kinetic energy of the vehicle such as accelerator off, clutch off, fuel cut, etc. The coasting operation is started by performing the transition operation to the vehicle state that can be converted most efficiently to the vehicle. However, if there is a risk of danger in traveling after shifting to coasting where the vehicle is traveling immediately before the host vehicle, the transition to coasting is stopped and waiting for a safe state to be achieved. In this case, the vehicle traveling ahead is detected by a vehicle front monitoring radar or the like.
Further, when the inertia traveling stop condition is satisfied during inertial traveling, the vehicle state during inertial traveling is shifted to the vehicle state immediately before starting inertial traveling, that is, the normal traveling state, and the deceleration / braking operation is performed.
It is desirable that the vehicle state operation for the transition from the normal traveling to the inertia traveling and the transition from the inertia traveling to the normal traveling / deceleration state is automatically performed collectively.

また、車両がエネルギー回生機能を有する場合は、前記惰性走行から通常の減速状態への移行条件をその時点での車両の回生エネルギーの蓄積レベルに対応して可変とすることが合理的である。
以上は地点Bが一旦停止すべき無信号交差点等の場合であるが、地点Bが信号交差点であり車両が交差点無停止走行制御、すなわち車両の走行速度を制御することによって交差点を青信号無停止で通過する制御を行っている場合についても適用できる。
Further, when the vehicle has an energy regeneration function, it is reasonable to make the transition condition from the inertia traveling to the normal deceleration state variable in accordance with the accumulation level of the regeneration energy of the vehicle at that time.
The above is a case where the point B is a non-signalized intersection that should be stopped once, but the point B is a signalized intersection and the vehicle does not stop at the intersection by controlling the vehicle speed without stopping at the intersection. The present invention can also be applied to a case where passing control is performed.

上記交差点無停止走行制御における減速時の惰性走行方法、即ち本願発明の第2の実現方法についての基本的考え方を図4を用いて説明する。
地点Aにおいて車両が交差点Bを青信号・無停止で通過するための地点A−交差点B間走行条件算出に必要な交差点B信号状態遷移情報、車両の地点A通過時刻ta 、等を獲得し、車両は前記獲得した情報から交差点Bを青信号・無停止で通過するための走行条件、本願発明においては交差点B到達最適時刻tb 、を算出し、地点A通過以降の走行による車両の交差点B到達時刻が前記時刻tb になるように走行する。
The basic concept of the inertial traveling method during deceleration in the intersection non-stop traveling control, that is, the second realization method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
At the point A, the vehicle obtains the intersection B signal state transition information necessary for calculating the traveling condition between the point A and the intersection B for the vehicle to pass through the intersection B without a green light and without stopping, the point A passing time ta of the vehicle, etc. Calculates a travel condition for passing through the intersection B without a green light and non-stop from the acquired information, and in the present invention, the intersection B arrival optimal time tb is calculated. The vehicle travels at the time tb.

即ち、地点Aにおいて時刻ta 時(車両走行速度:Va)に減速度(−α)で惰性走行を開始した場合の時刻tb までの間の車両の予測惰性走行距離Daは、(数7)で 、
また地点A通過後一定距離
n・Ds の間を走行した後時刻tan 時に走行速度Vanから減速度(−α)で惰性走行を開始した場合の時刻tb までの間の予測惰性走行距離Dan は(数8)で、各々あらわされる。
In other words, the predicted inertial travel distance Da of the vehicle up to time tb when inertial traveling is started at the time point ta (vehicle traveling speed: Va) at a deceleration (−α) is (Equation 7). ,
Further, after traveling for a certain distance n · Ds after passing through the point A, the predicted inertial travel distance Dan until the time tb when the inertial travel is started with the deceleration (−α) from the travel speed Van at the time tan is ( Each is expressed by Equation 8).

(数7)
Da =Va・(tb ―ta )−α・(tb ―ta )2/2
(Equation 7)
Da = Va · (tb -ta) -α · (tb -ta) 2/2

(数8)
Dan =Van・(tb ―tan )−α・(tb ―tan )2/2
(Equation 8)
Dan = Van · (tb -tan) -α · (tb -tan) 2/2

(数9)
Da > D
(Equation 9)
Da> D

(数10)
Dan > Dn
(Equation 10)
Dan> Dn

(数11)
Dn = D−n・Ds
(Equation 11)
Dn = Dn.Ds

ここで前記予測走行距離Da と地点A−地点B間走行距離D
の関係が(数9)を満足しない場合は、惰性走行によって車両は交差点Bに時刻tb 以降に到達することになるのに対し、
(数9)を満足する場合は、惰性走行によって車両は交差点Bに時刻tb 以前に到達することができることになる。したがって(数9)を満足する場合には地点Aにおいて惰性走行を開始し走行途中交差点Bに接近した場合はブレーキによって交差点B到達時刻を調整することによって交差点Bに時刻tb に到着することが可能となる。
Here, the predicted travel distance Da and the travel distance D between point A and point B
If the relationship of (9) does not satisfy (Equation 9), the vehicle will reach the intersection B after time tb by coasting,
If (Equation 9) is satisfied, the vehicle can reach the intersection B before time tb by coasting. Therefore, if (Equation 9) is satisfied, coasting can be started at point A, and when approaching intersection B on the way, it is possible to arrive at intersection B by adjusting the arrival time at intersection B by braking. It becomes.

また、地点Aで(数9)を満足しない場合は、地点Aから一定距離n・Dsの地点Anまでの間 通常走行した後の時刻tan から時刻tb までの間の惰性走行による予測走行距離Dan
と(数11)に示す地点An から交差点Bまでの走行距離Dn の算出・比較を予測走行距離Dan が交差点Bまでの走行距離Dn より大きくなるまで繰り返し、予測走行距離Dan が交差点Bまでの走行距離Dn より大きくなった時点で惰性走行を開始する。
また上記においては地点A通過後一定走行距離Ts 毎に惰性走行可否の判定を行っているが、これに代えて一定時間Ts 毎に行うこともできる。
Also, if (Equation 9) is not satisfied at point A, the predicted travel distance Dan due to inertial travel from time tan to time tb after normal travel from point A to point An at a certain distance n · Ds
And the calculation and comparison of the travel distance Dn from the point An to the intersection B shown in (Equation 11) are repeated until the predicted travel distance Dan becomes larger than the travel distance Dn to the intersection B, and the predicted travel distance Dan travels to the intersection B. When the distance becomes larger than the distance Dn, coasting is started.
In the above description, whether or not the inertial traveling is possible is determined every certain traveling distance Ts after passing through the point A, but can be performed every certain time Ts instead.

以上本願発明の第一の方法、第二の方法は、車両が特定地点での停止、徐行、あるいは交差点での青信号無停止通過のための減速時における惰性走行の活用方法であるが、本願発明の思想は、第三の方法すなわち車両の前方走行車への追従走行の安定化、効率化、省エネルギー化にも有効である。
図6(A)、(B)において、車両Aが前方走行車両Bに対して追従走行している場合の本願発明の方法について説明する。
通常の追従走行においては車両A−車両B間距離Lに、車両Aの走行速度Vs に対応する上下限値Lmax 、Lmin を設定し、車間距離が前記上下限値Lmax 、Lmin内に入るように惰性走行、加速走行を繰り返す(特許文献4参照)。しかしこの方法では車両A−車両B間距離変動幅はLmin 〜Lmax 以上となってしまう上に、車両Aの追従走行速度変動幅も大きくなってしまう。
As described above, the first method and the second method of the present invention are methods for utilizing inertial running during deceleration when the vehicle stops at a specific point, slows down, or passes through a green light without stopping at an intersection. This idea is also effective for stabilization, efficiency and energy saving of the third method, that is, the follow-up traveling of the vehicle to the forward traveling vehicle.
6A and 6B, the method of the present invention in the case where the vehicle A is traveling following the forward traveling vehicle B will be described.
In normal follow-up traveling, upper and lower limit values Lmax and Lmin corresponding to the traveling speed Vs of the vehicle A are set in the distance L between the vehicle A and the vehicle B so that the distance between the vehicles falls within the upper and lower limit values Lmax and Lmin. Repeat inertial running and acceleration running (see Patent Document 4). However, in this method, the fluctuation range of the distance between the vehicle A and the vehicle B becomes Lmin to Lmax or more, and the fluctuation range of the following traveling speed of the vehicle A also becomes large.

これに対して本願発明は、追従走行時の惰性走行移行時および加速走行移行時の車両A−車両B間距離を同一とすること、すなわち加速走行時一定の車間距離に達したとき惰性走行に移行し、その後の惰性走行時車両A−車両B間相対速度が0になった時点の車両A−車両B間距離(最短車間距離)を安全車間距離に設定し、さらにその後相対速度が負となって車両A−車両B間距離が惰性走行開始時の車間距離に一致したときに加速走行に移行すること、によって、惰性走行、加速走行を繰り返しての追従走行時における車間距離変動、したがって車両A−車両B間相対速度変動を最低限に抑圧した安定した効率的な追従走行を可能とする。 On the other hand, the invention of the present application makes the distance between the vehicle A and the vehicle B at the time of inertial traveling transition at the time of following traveling and the acceleration traveling transition the same, that is, when it reaches a certain inter-vehicle distance at the time of acceleration traveling. The distance between the vehicle A and the vehicle B (the shortest distance between the vehicles) at the time when the relative speed between the vehicle A and the vehicle B is zero after the transition is set as the safe inter-vehicle distance, and then the relative speed is negative. When the distance between the vehicle A and the vehicle B coincides with the inter-vehicle distance at the start of inertial traveling, the vehicle shifts to accelerated travel, whereby the inter-vehicle distance fluctuation during follow-up travel by repeating inertial travel and accelerated travel, and therefore the vehicle A stable and efficient follow-up traveling with a minimum variation in the relative speed between the vehicle A and the vehicle B is made possible.

車両A−車両B間相対速度Vr1 ( > 0)をあらかじめ設定しておき、車両Aが車両Bに追従走行を開始し、
車両A−車両B間相対速度VrがVr =0でかつ車両A−車両B間距離Lが(数12))、すなわち車両速度Vs 時の制動距離(安全車間距離)、の時点で車両Aは減速度(−α)での惰性走行を開始し、
前記惰性走行開始後車両A−車両B間距離Lが(数14)に達した時点で加速度α’ の加速走行に移行する、
加速走行移行後車両A−車両B間距離Lが一旦(数16)に到達した後(数14)に復帰した時点で再度惰性走行を開始する、
以後惰性走行中車両A−車両B間距離Lが一旦(数12)に到達した後(数14)到達時点で加速走行の開始、加速走行中車両A−車両B間距離Lが一旦(数16)に到達した後(数14)に復帰時点で惰性走行の開始、を繰り返すことによって車両Bへの追従走行を行う。
A relative speed V r 1 (> 0) between the vehicle A and the vehicle B is set in advance, and the vehicle A starts traveling following the vehicle B,
At the time when the relative speed Vr between the vehicle A and the vehicle B is Vr = 0 and the distance L between the vehicle A and the vehicle B is (Equation 12)), that is, the braking distance at the vehicle speed Vs (safe inter-vehicle distance), the vehicle A Start coasting with deceleration (-α),
When the distance L between the vehicle A and the vehicle B reaches (Expression 14) after the start of inertial traveling, the vehicle shifts to acceleration traveling with acceleration α ′.
After the acceleration travel transition, after the distance L between the vehicle A and the vehicle B reaches (Equation 16) once and returns to (Equation 14), the inertial running is started again.
Thereafter, after the distance L between the vehicle A and the vehicle B during inertial traveling once reaches (Equation 12), the acceleration traveling starts when the distance L reaches (Equation 14), and the distance L between the vehicle A and the vehicle B during acceleration traveling temporarily (Equation 16). ) Is reached (Equation 14), the inertial running is started at the time of return, and the vehicle B is followed.

Vr1: Set relative speed with the vehicle in front
It is.

上記条件下で追従走行を行うことによって車両Aの車両Bに対する相対速度=0の時点、即ち惰性走行開始して後時間tr( =Vr1 /α) 経過時、車両Aは車両Bに最も接近して、車間距離は速度Vs で走行中の車両Aの制動距離L1(Vs)となる。したがってその時点でもブレーキを踏む必要はなく惰性走行を継続でき、車両A−車両B間車間距離が(数14)に復帰した時点で改めて加速動作に移行しその後再度車間距離が(数14)の条件を満足した時点で惰性走行を開始する。この加速走行・惰性走行動作を繰り返すことによって、高速道路等の車両専用道は勿論一般道路においても、車両Aは安全にかつ最小の車間距離変動幅・走行速度変動幅でかつ最小の運動エネルギー損失で車両Bに対する追従走行ができることになる。 By following the vehicle under the above conditions, when the relative speed of the vehicle A with respect to the vehicle B = 0, that is, when the time tr (= Vr1 / α) has elapsed since the start of coasting, the vehicle A approaches the vehicle B most closely. Thus, the inter-vehicle distance is the braking distance L 1 (Vs) of the vehicle A traveling at the speed Vs. Therefore, it is not necessary to step on the brake even at that time, and coasting can be continued. When the inter-vehicle distance between the vehicle A and the vehicle B returns to (Equation 14), the acceleration operation starts again, and then the inter-vehicle distance becomes (Equation 14) again. Start coasting when the conditions are met. By repeating this acceleration traveling / inertial traveling operation, the vehicle A is safe and has the smallest range of inter-vehicle distance variation / running speed variation and the smallest kinetic energy loss on a general road as well as a dedicated road such as an expressway. Thus, it is possible to follow the vehicle B.

When coasting to stop at a specific point, traveling slowly, or coasting based on specific driving conditions toward an intersection, the vehicle is equipped with a front radar etc. It is desirable to start coasting after confirming that there are no vehicles or the like. Further, when following a forward traveling vehicle, a front radar for detecting the inter-vehicle distance from the forward traveling vehicle and the relative speed is more necessary.
Also, instead of manually performing accelerator-off operation, clutch-off operation, etc. at the start of inertial running separately, for example, a vehicle that can automatically perform clutch-off operation, etc. in batch in conjunction with the accelerator-off operation, etc. The rationalization and automation of powertrain control is also desired.
