Abstract: A vehicle travel control method includes, when controlling a vehicle having an autonomous travel control function to travel autonomously, detecting whether or not an object is present around the vehicle and displaying a predetermined pattern corresponding to a detection range at a certain position on a road surface toward the detection range so that the predetermined pattern is visible.

Abstract: A method for determining a movement vector of a motor vehicle includes: determining, via a radar system of the vehicle, at two successive instants, positions, relative to the vehicle, of elements of an environment of the vehicle that are static relative to the environment, associating the positions determined at these two successive instants with each other in such a way as to form different pairs of positions each grouping together the preceding position and the subsequent position of a given element of the environment, and determining the movement vector of the vehicle by linear regression, based on the pairs of positions thus formed.

Abstract: A method for controlling a level of charge of a traction battery of an electric vehicle connected to an electricity distribution grid by way of a charger during a downtime phase of the vehicle. The method includes a first step of forcibly discharging the battery, performed in a discharging circuit associated with the battery, with a discharge current that is calibrated in terms of strength with respect to the nominal capacity of the battery, so as to slowly and completely discharge the battery to its minimum voltage, and a step of normally charging the battery with a setpoint charging current prescribed by the charger or the battery, so as to charge the battery to a useful level of charge of the battery.

Abstract: A road detection method for a motor vehicle provided with at least one rotary multilayer LIDAR sensor and at least one data processor includes acquiring LIDAR data of the environment of the vehicle. The data for which the angle of the beam with respect to the plane of the vehicle is greater than or equal to zero are eliminated from the acquired LIDAR data. For each LIDAR datum, theoretical coordinates of a point are determined as a function of the angle of the beam with respect to the plane of the vehicle and of the angle of the beam in the plane of the vehicle. The standard deviation between the theoretical coordinates and the coordinates of the LIDAR datum is determined. Then, it is determined that the LIDAR datum forms part of the road if the standard deviation is lower than a predefined threshold.

Abstract: A method for implementing a closed loop of an advanced driving aid device for the lateral control of a motor vehicle includes synthesizing a controller of the closed loop by solving an optimization problem based on a bicycle model of the vehicle. A family of at least two bicycle models of the vehicle is established, these models having, with respect to one another, at least one dispersion chosen from among a dispersion of mass of the vehicle, a dispersion of drift rigidity on a drivetrain of the vehicle, a dispersion of the center of gravity of the vehicle, and a dispersion of the position of the matrix of inertia of the vehicle, the optimization problem being solved on the basis of all models of the family.

Abstract: An air intake circuit for a heat engine is intended to be positioned between an air compression element and at least an upper portion of a hollow combustion chamber in a cylinder head of the engine. The air intake circuit includes the cylinder head, an air intake manifold, and at least one air intake duct. The circuit also includes at least one concave receptacle turned towards the outside of the engine, housed in a cavity of the cylinder head, and connected to a tubular element pushed into the at least one air intake duct.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a semiconductor layer disposed on a main surface of the substrate; and a first main electrode and a second main electrode, which are disposed on the substrate separately from each other with the semiconductor layer sandwiched therebetween and are individually end portions of a current path of a main current flowing in an on-state. The semiconductor layer includes: a first conductivity-type drift region through which a main current flows; a second conductivity-type column region that is disposed inside the drift region and extends in parallel to a current path; and an electric field relaxation region that is disposed in at least a part between the drift region and the column region and is either a low-concentration region in which an impurity concentration is lower than in the same conductivity-type adjacent region or a non-doped region.
