Moving assist apparatus and method and driving assist system
First Claim
1. A moving assist apparatus for assisting a vehicle which includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor as a driving source to move from a current position to a destination, the moving assist apparatus comprising:
- an electronic control unit configured to, for each section obtained by dividing a traveling route from the current position to the destination, plan one traveling mode from a first mode of not maintaining a charge storage amount of a battery and a second mode of maintaining the charge storage amount of the battery, based on a traveling load associated with the section, whereinthe electronic control unit is configured to replan the traveling mode under a predetermined condition, and if a remaining distance or a remaining time of the section on which the vehicle is traveling is shorter than a respective threshold while the predetermined condition is satisfied, to replan a current traveling mode to be the traveling mode in priority.

Abstract
A moving assist apparatus assists a vehicle which includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor as a driving source to move from a current position to a destination. The moving assist apparatus includes a planning unit configured to, for each section obtained by dividing a traveling route from the current position to the destination, plan one traveling mode from a mode of not maintaining a charge storage amount of a battery and a HV mode of maintaining the charge storage amount of the battery, based on a traveling load associated with the section. The planning unit is configured to replan the traveling mode under a predetermined condition, and when the predetermined condition is satisfied, when a remaining distance of the section on which the vehicle is traveling is less than a threshold a, to replan a current ‘traveling mode to be the traveling mode in priority.

6. A driving assist system for assisting driving of a vehicle which includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor as a driving source based on one traveling mode that is selected from a plurality of different traveling modes, wherein the plurality of different traveling modes are traveling modes that are planned for each section obtained by dividing a traveling route of the vehicle from a current position to a destination, the driving assist system comprising:
-
a moving assist apparatus configured to plan one traveling mode that is selected from the plurality of traveling modes for each section of the traveling route, wherein the moving assist apparatus includes an electronic control unit configured to, for each section obtained by dividing a traveling route from the current position to the destination, plan one traveling mode from a first mode of not maintaining a charge storage amount of a battery and a second mode of maintaining the charge storage amount of the battery, based on a traveling load associated with the section, wherein the planning unit is configured to replan the traveling mode under a predetermined condition, and if a remaining distance or a remaining time of the section on which the vehicle is traveling is shorter than a respective threshold while the predetermined condition is satisfied, to replan a current traveling mode to be the traveling mode in priority.
