    摘要: A device for recognizing a width of a vehicle, including include a weight selecting device that selects at least one weight among a plurality of weights based on a degree of shaking of a present vehicle in a left and right direction and outputs the selected weight as selected weight information when a following vehicle overtakes the present vehicle, a vehicle width calculation device that calculates a vehicle width of the vehicle that has overtaken the present vehicle based on front region image information containing the vehicle that has overtaken the present vehicle, and outputs the calculation result as image vehicle width calculation information, and a weight applying device that applies the selected weight information to the image vehicle width calculation information and outputs the selected weight information-applied image vehicle width calculation information as vehicle width information.

    摘要: Provided is a driving support apparatus including: a surrounding sensor configured to acquire surrounding information on another vehicle present in front of a vehicle and dividing lines extending in front of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to: execute adaptive cruise control (ACC) of, when a preceding vehicle is determined to be present based on the surrounding information, executing acceleration control and deceleration control such that an inter-vehicle distance to the preceding vehicle matches a predetermined target inter-vehicle distance which becomes longer as a vehicle speed increases; and lengthen, when the ACC is started or the ACC is being executed in a case in which a vehicle height is increased to be higher than the normal height by vehicle height adjustment, a target-inter-vehicle-distance-when-stopped, which is the target inter-vehicle distance of when the vehicle is stopped, as compared with a case in which the vehicle height is the normal height.

    摘要: A method and a device for determining loads on vehicle's wheels, each with a tire, is disclosed. A deformation measured value and a pressure measured value for each tire, and at least one acceleration measured value for the vehicle are detected. For the respective wheels, dynamic wheel loads are calculated according to a first model and static wheel loads are calculated according to a second model. The second model comprises at least one model parameter calculated by statistical analysis of the calculated dynamic wheel loads, the calculated static wheel loads, and the detected at least one acceleration measured value. The at least one acceleration measured value is redetected and the dynamic wheel loads are recalculated from the previously calculated static wheel loads and the at least one detected acceleration measured value according to the second model using the previously calculated at least one model parameter of the second model.

    摘要: A vehicle with an emergency reporting function includes a processor, a vehicle communication device, a first calling device, and a vehicle outside occupant detector. The processor determines, by means of the vehicle outside occupant detector, whether an occupant who has been present inside the vehicle before an emergency is present inside the vehicle or outside the vehicle after the emergency. If the occupant is present inside the vehicle after the emergency, the processor uses the first calling device to enable a communication between an occupant inside the vehicle and an operator terminal. If the occupant is present outside the vehicle after the emergency, the processor additionally uses a second calling device to enable a communication between an occupant present outside or inside the vehicle and the operator terminal. The second calling device allows for a communication outside the vehicle.

    摘要: A method and a system analyze the control of a vehicle having an autonomous driving unit. A change in the driving mode from autonomous driving to manual driving is detected, and at least one driving parameter before and/or after detecting the change is monitored. Based on driving values obtained by the monitoring with respect to the detected change in driving mode, at least one driving quantity quantifying the quality of interplay between the autonomous driving unit and a human driver is determined.
