摘要:
Vehicle operation diagnostic devices, methods, and programs detect an idling stop of a vehicle. The devices, methods, and programs acquire a fuel consumption required for an engine of the vehicle to start, and acquire, if the idling stop is detected, an amount of fuel consumed if idling were to be continued during a period in which the idling stop is performed. The devices, methods, and programs determine whether a fuel consumption reduction effect is obtained based on the engine-start fuel consumption and the fuel consumption if idling were to be continued, and provide guidance based on the determination of whether the fuel consumption reduction effect is obtained.

摘要:
A switching regulator includes a ripple generating circuit that generates a ripple voltage signal having a voltage that increases when a first switch element is on and decreases when a second switch element is on, or a voltage that decreases when the first switch element is on and increases when the second switch element is on, a comparator that compares the ripple voltage signal to a reference voltage, and generates a comparison signal indicating the comparison result, and a switch element control circuit that generates, according to the comparison signal, a control signal to switch on and off of the first switch element and a control signal to switch on and off of the second switch element, and applies the control signals to the first and second switch elements, respectively, wherein the ripple generating circuit generates the ripple voltage signal based on the control signals.
摘要:
Provided is a driving support device including an other-vehicle detection unit that detects if an other-vehicle is traveling in the same lane as a host vehicle. The device also includes an overtaking operation detection unit to detect when the host vehicle overtakes the other-vehicle and a determination unit that evaluates an overtaking operation. When is determined that the overtaking operation is not appropriate, the overtaking operation is deemed a dangerous operation. The driving support device may also include continuation prediction unit that determines whether the other-vehicle will continue traveling in the same lane. If it is determined that the other-vehicle will continue traveling in the same lane, the other-vehicle is identified as a target vehicle by a target vehicle identification unit.
