摘要:
An ECU of a vehicle control device selects a system-mounted vehicle traveling ahead of a system-mounted vehicle as a cooperating vehicle and controls the inter-vehicle distance between the selected system-mounted vehicle and the system-mounted vehicle, or the like to control the traffic volume of a road in the vicinity of the system-mounted vehicles, such that traffic jams can be prevented effectively as compared with a case where the system-mounted vehicle performs travel control independently. Furthermore, the ECU determines whether or not to select the system-mounted vehicle as a cooperating vehicle based on the relative speed of the system-mounted vehicle and the system-mounted vehicle a regardless of whether or not the system-mounted vehicle that is selected as the cooperating vehicle is traveling in the same lane as the system-mounted vehicle, such that it is possible to select the cooperating system-mounted vehicle without being influenced by the accuracy of recognizing the lane in which the system-mounted vehicle travels.

A parking assistance apparatus includes a display unit that displays an image of a scene behind a host vehicle. At least when the host vehicle moves forward or when the host vehicle is stopped, the display unit displays an indication including a plurality of kinds of trajectories along which the host vehicle is able to back up from a point at which the host vehicle is currently positioned, in a manner such that the indication is superimposed on the image of the scene behind the host vehicle.

A transmitter has a portion that sets a parameter about the transmitter itself based on a parameter made to correspond to a condition for selecting a receiver with which the transmitter communicate with, a portion that generates a spread code based on the set parameter, and a sending portion that spreads transmit-data to form a spread signal by the generated spread code, and that sends the spread signal. The receiver has a portion that receives the signal transmitted by the transmitter, a portion that sets a parameter about the receiver itself based on the parameter made to correspond to the condition, a portion that generates a despread code based on the set parameter, a portion that performs a correlation computation of the received signal and the generated despread code, and a portion that selects a transmitter with which the receiver communicates, based on a result of the correlation computation.

A navigation apparatus that detects a position of a movable body includes map data storage means for storing map data; an autonomous sensor that detects information on behavior of the movable body; inertial position determination means for detecting an inertial position-determination position of the movable body, by accumulating the information detected by the autonomous sensor on a result of position determination performed using radio navigation; characteristic position detection means for detecting a characteristic position that is the inertial position-determination position at which the movable body has exhibited a characteristic behavior; correction amount detection means for extracting positional information on a road position corresponding to the characteristic position, by referring to the map data storage means; and position correction means for correcting the characteristic position using a Kalman filter based on a condition that the characteristic position is close to the road position.
摘要:
A navigation system acquired information relating to a point, such as a sag where a decrease in vehicle speed is induced in front of a system-mounted vehicle. When the system-mounted vehicle has reached a predetermined distance from the sag concerning the information acquired by the navigation system or when a predetermined time has come before reaching the sag, an ECU and an ACC controls the traveling of the system-mounted vehicle such that the inter-vehicle distance from an ordinary vehicle behind the system-mounted vehicle increases. Therefore, even when a vehicle control device is not mounted in an ordinary vehicle behind the system-mounted vehicle, it becomes possible to prevent a decrease in the speed of the ordinary vehicle behind the system-mounted vehicle, thereby more effectively suppressing congestion.

A positioning device that detects a position of a mobile body with a radio navigation positioning unit includes: first and second autonomous sensors obtaining behavioral information on the mobile body; a position detecting unit obtaining an estimated position and an estimated direction by updating a detection result based on the behavioral information from the first autonomous sensor; a map data positioning unit that refers to a map data storage unit based on the estimated position and obtains a map data linked position at a predetermined distance away from a link; a direction detecting unit obtaining a cumulative estimated direction by updating the detection result based on the behavioral information from the second autonomous sensor; and a most probable position estimating unit estimating the position of the mobile body from the estimated positions and directions using the Kalman filter.
摘要:
An inter-moving body interferometric positioning system for carrying out positioning in coordination with three or more moving bodies that can mutually communicate, including: a reference vehicle decision unit for deciding on a single moving body to function as a reference vehicle from among three or more moving bodies, and a positioning unit for interferometrically determining respective relative positions of other moving bodies relative to the reference moving body that is to function as a reference vehicle decided on by the reference moving body decision unit using satellite wave monitoring data monitored in each of the three or more moving bodies. This inter-moving body interferometric positioning system specifies relative positions among the other moving bodies using positioning results of the positioning unit.
