    摘要: A method prepares voice guidance instructions for an individual, formulated in the most natural fashion possible. The method includes:—determining, by a computer, a path to be followed, —acquiring, by an image acquisition unit, at least one image of the environment of the individual, —processing the image in order to detect at least one object therein and in order to characterise the object, and —preparing a voice guidance instruction supplying the user with a piece of information for carrying out a manoeuvre in order to follow the path. The method also includes determining a level of complexity of the manoeuvre, and, in the preparation step, the voice guidance instruction is formulated using an indication deduced from the characterisation of the object only if the level of complexity of the manoeuvre is greater than a first threshold.

    摘要: A structural element forms a motor vehicle dashboard body that is intended to be installed in a transverse installation position inside a vehicle passenger compartment. The structural element has a one-piece openwork structure produced by three-dimensional printing. The openwork structure defines: a first internal passage that passes all the way through the structural element and extends transversely when the structural element is in the installation position. The first passage is shaped so as to receive a crossmember that is in particular bent with a constant radius of curvature and having at least two fastening elements that are intended to be fastened to the crossmember. A second internal passage connects the first passage to a face of the structural element that is directed toward the rear of the vehicle when the structural element is in the installation position. The second passage has at least one fastening element that is intended to fasten a steering column fastening support.

    摘要: A control method for a hybrid vehicle includes a generator and an electric motor, the generator being configured to charge a battery by use of power of an engine, the electric motor being configured to drive driving wheels by electric power of the battery. The control method having driving the engine at a first rotation speed when a charging amount of the battery decreases to a first charging threshold; changing the engine to driving at a second rotation speed larger than the first rotation speed when the engine is driven at the first rotation speed and the charging amount decreases to a second charging threshold smaller than the first charging threshold; and continuing driving of the engine until the charging amount becomes equal to or more than a charging end threshold larger than the first charging threshold.

    摘要: A vehicle idling stop control device has switches that detect an operation of opening a driver's door and an unbuckling of a driver's seat belt as disembarkation operations by a driver. When a disembarkation operation performed by the driver is detected during an idling stop, the idling stop is cancelled and the engine is restarted upon detecting a disembarkation operation performed by a driver during the idling stop. Also, restarting of the idling stop is prevented due to ending of the disembarkation operation performed by the driver until after the vehicle starts traveling. Thus, unnecessary automatic stopping and automatic restarting of the engine are thereby avoided when the vehicle sets off without the driver actually exiting the vehicle.

    摘要: A hybrid system for a vehicle includes a drive unit provided with a motor for driving wheels and a power generation unit provided with an engine and a generator driven by the engine. The power generation unit is provided so as to be adjacent to the drive unit in a separated state. One of the drive unit and the power generation unit is mounted on a vehicle body via a first mount member at a lower portion of the one unit. The other one of the drive unit and the power generation unit is mounted on the vehicle body via a second mount member at an upper portion of the other one unit.

    摘要: A cooling system cools an electric machine including a casing, a rotor rotatably supported by the casing, and a stator fixed to the casing. The cooling system includes a flow circuit that brings a cooling liquid into contact with active parts of the electric machine. A main reservoir is provided in a lower portion of the casing. A pump injects the cooling liquid into the flow circuit. The level of cooling liquid in the casing interfaces with a lower portion of the rotor when the pump stops. A controller controls the pump to stop the pump when a temperature of the cooling liquid is below a given threshold, and start the pump as soon as the temperature of the liquid reaches the threshold such that the liquid is drawn by the main reservoir pump towards a secondary reservoir to lower the level of cooling liquid in the casing.
