This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18299109 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle control device that restricts the reaction force added to an accelerator pedal of a driver's vehicle under specific conditions.

  • The device includes a memory and a processor.
  • The processor is connected to the memory and is responsible for controlling the reaction force.
  • A reaction force add section is configured to add reaction force to the accelerator pedal.
  • The reaction force is added when the driver's vehicle continues to travel under a specific condition for a fixed period of time or longer.
  • The purpose of this control is to limit the acceleration of the vehicle in certain situations.
  • The device aims to improve safety and prevent excessive acceleration in specific driving conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle control device comprises a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to restrict reaction force added to an accelerator pedal of a driver's vehicle by a reaction force add section configured to add reaction force to the accelerator pedal of the driver's vehicle in a case in which traveling of the driver's vehicle under a specific condition continues for a fixed period of time or greater.
