In an object recognition apparatus using a radar unit for a vehicle, in mounting the radar unit on the vehicle, a transmission wave is outputted throughout an appropriate angular range in a forward direction of the vehicle in a state where a margin is given to a tolerance of the mounting angle of the radar unit on the vehicle. Laser beams are radiated at a target placed at a predetermined positional relationship relative to the radar unit mounted on the vehicle to extract a laser beam which provides the maximum light-reception intensity in each of the X-axis and Y-axis directions. Moreover, a predetermined angular range is set in each of the X-axis and Y-axis directions so that the laser beam which provides the maximum light-reception intensity is centered therein, and the predetermined angular range is used as a recognition area.

A selection device for setting the driving speed of a vehicle is provided having an operating element, a control device, which is connected with the operating element and coupled with an engine control and which is designed so that, upon activation of the control, the vehicle speed will be regulated automatically, whereby at least two vehicle speed values can be marked on a display. These values can be initiated by using the operating element. In addition to the vehicle speed values, a pointer is indicated on the display. The pointer can be moved by using the operating element. In a programming operating mode of the control unit, the set vehicle speeds or the vehicle speeds to be set can be set and erased by use of the pointer. In a driving speed control operating mode of the control unit, the set vehicle speeds can be activated by the use of the pointer.

The method for displaying speed variables in a motor vehicle includes automatically selecting and displaying one of a number of different possible speed scales on a speedometer according to the physical units for speed values employed at the current location of the vehicle. An acoustic and/or optical alarm signal is produced when the vehicle passes from one governmental region in which one set of physical units is used to another in which a different set is used. In addition, speed limits at the current location may be displayed on the speed scale itself by highlighting an appropriate scale mark or producing a scale mark of a different length or color. The current location may be obtained from an on-board GPS. The speed limits and physical units for speed values at the current location are retrieved from a data storage media according to that location. The speed limits may be updated by radio connection. Digital display devices for speed values with similar features are disclosed.

An indicating instrument for a vehicle includes an analog indication of the current measured value and has a variable indication of a reference value. An automatic setting device indicates the reference value based on variable data that are significant for the indicated measured variable. The entire indicating instrument is rotated by the setting device so that the pointer is aligned horizontally when the current measured value agrees with the reference value.
摘要:
A method and a speed control system for controlling a speed of a vehicle utilizes a speed sensor for sensing a speed of the vehicle and generating a corresponding speed signal. A control unit determines one of a quick or slow acceleration status of the vehicle based on the speed signal. The control unit also determines a mode of operation of the speed control system and filters the speed signal based on the acceleration status and the mode of operation of the speed control system. The speed of the vehicle is then controlled based on the filtered speed signal.
摘要:
A device for the efficient automatic controlling of the speed of a vehicle through a brake-pedal interface via an electronic switch to a vehicle's cruise control system, and the method for operating that device. The switch connects to the vehicle's brake pedal whereby successive taps of the pedal signal and control the cruise control through the switch.
