摘要:
A cruise control device and an obstacle detection device are provided which achieve a safe and appropriate tracking control by avoiding a sudden recognition of a short following distance when a preceding vehicle is found in an uphill or downhill gradient, in a curve, or at an intersection, or by reducing the damage of a crash when the crash cannot be avoided. An obstacle determination process section is provided which receives information from a sensor which detects an obstacle, receives terrain information of the position of the host vehicle from a navigation device, and determines the presence of the obstacle when a predetermined condition is satisfied after the sensor detects the obstacle. The predetermined condition to determine the presence of the obstacle is changed based on the terrain information of the position of the host vehicle received from the navigation device.

The present invention provides an intelligent cruise control device installed in a host vehicle and used for performing follow-up cruise control to follow up a moving target located in front of the host vehicle by supplying an operating signal to an auto cruise control device which is used for carrying out auto cruise control to adjust the speed of the host vehicle by carrying out an operation indicated by the operating signal generated by the operating part in accordance with an operation type such as acceleration and deceleration specified by the driver so that the host vehicle is running at the adjusted speed. The intelligent cruise control device further comprises: a storage means for storing information on the operating signal for each operation type such as acceleration and deceleration; an operation determining means for determining the type of an operation required by the host vehicle to follow up a moving target located in front of the host vehicle from information on the speed of the host vehicle and information on the range between the host vehicle and the moving target; and a signal generating means for reading out information on an operating signal for the type of an operation determined by the operation determining means from the storage means and for generating the operating signal in accordance with the information on the operating signal read out from the storage means.

In a method of adjusting the axis of a car on-board radar, especially, a car on-board mono-pulse radar having the function of transmitting radio waves, light or ultrasonic waves, a car axis and an offset axis are set and the mount angle of an antenna offset-mounted on the offset axis can be adjusted with high precision and with ease through a reduced number of process steps. In the method, at least two points are set on the car, at least two isosceles triangles having a common base defined by a line connecting the setting points and sides of different lengths are drawn, a line connecting vertexes on the same plane of the obtained isosceles triangles and an extension of that line are determined as the car axis, the radar antenna is mounted on the car at an offset position which is apart from the car axis by a constant distance in the horizontal direction, a straight line parallel to the car axis and passing through the offset position is determined as the offset axis, a reflector is disposed in a direction at a constant azimuth angle as viewed from the offset position of the antenna, and the reflector is used as a detection target of the radar to adjust the mount angle of the radar antenna such that an azimuth angle detection value of the reflector detected by the radar equals a setting value of the azimuth angle.

There is provided a telephone exchange including a switching network, a plurality of interface circuits whose corresponding transmit/receive paths are connected to the switching network, a data generator connected to the interface circuits to sequentially generate state information indicative of the states of the interface circuits, and a control circuit for controlling the switching network according to an output data from the data generator. The data generator generates state-variation information when the state of the interface circuit is varied and the control circuit is responsive to the state-variation information from the data generator to cause the switching network to be set to a state corresponding to the above-mentioned state information.

Information storage element 102 and transmitter-receiver 103 are molded in resin connector part 101 of fuel injection valve 100 which projects outside of the engine by molding. The precise control of an injection amount is enabled by using directly the characteristic of injection amount stored in information storage element 102, and obtaining the width of the injection command pulse corresponding to the injection amount instruction value. Thereby, the minimum injection amount which is the minimum value of the fuel supply amount which can be controlled is reduced.

An image pickup unit (2) mounted on a vehicle shoots an image in front thereof to attain image information. An edge pixel extraction section (40202 to 40206) scans the obtained image information for each line and then checks boundaries between a particular color and the other colors to extract pixels having the particular color as edge pixels. Moreover, a candidate line extraction section (40208 to 40212) references position coordinates of the extracted edge pixels such that assuming the edge pixels to be classified to configure straight lines, the edge pixels are coupled with each other to configure straight lines according to the classification so as to obtain the straight lines as candidate lines.Thereafter, a line selection section (40212) selects a left line and a right line in front of the vehicle from the plural candidate lines, thereby attaining the left and right lines.
摘要:
In a radio wave radar system using a two-frequency CW modulation method, it is possible to detect a distance between a host vehicle and a forward vehicle and to realize a stable ACC following travel, even in a condition in which the relative speed is 0. By combining the two-frequency CW modulation method with the frequency pulse CW modulation method, that is, by using combination with the two-frequency CW method when the relative speed occurs and the frequency pulse CW method when the relative speed is close to 0, even if the relative speed is 0, the IF signal obtained from the reflected wave from the forward vehicle can be generated to detect the existence of the ACC target vehicle, so that it is possible to realize a stable ACC following travel.
