    摘要: A scene recognition device detects the state of the environment around a vehicle. Risk is determined based on the detected state of the environment. Based on the detected state of the environment and/or the determined risk, an actuator coupled to an accelerator selects one out of different reaction force characteristics of varying of reaction force with different positions of the accelerator. Based on the detected state of the environment and/or the determined risk, an engine output modifier modifies an engine output characteristic of varying of engine output with different positions of the accelerator.

    摘要: A method and a system for assisting a driver operating a driver controlled input device within a vehicle, acquires data including information on environment in a field around the vehicle and information on vehicle setting regarding how devices are set within the vehicle. A risk perceived from the environment is calculated using the acquired data. Using the vehicle setting, the risk perceived is modified. Accounting for the modified risk perceived, an increment in force applied to the driver via the driver controlled input device is determined.

    摘要: A risk potential calculating device for a vehicle, comprises a state recognition device that detects vehicle conditions of a subject vehicle and a traveling environment for vehicle surroundings; and a risk potential calculator that calculates a risk potential for the vehicle surroundings based on detection results of the state recognition device. The risk potential calculator calculates the risk potential by respectively calculating a first risk potential expressing a risk in a case where driving conditions of the subject vehicle are in a steady state and a second risk potential expressing a risk for a case where driving conditions of the subject vehicle are in a transient state, and adding the first risk potential weighted by a first coefficient and the second risk potential weighted by the second coefficient.

    摘要: A driving assist system for assisting manual effort by an operator to operate an accelerator pedal of a motor vehicle, the driving assist system comprises a data acquisition sub-system acquiring data including information on state of the motor vehicle and information on environment in a field around the motor vehicle. Control logic determines the degree of risk in the field around the motor vehicle in response to the acquired data. An actuator is provided, which is operable in response to a command for generating reaction force at the accelerator pedal. Control logic simply increases an increment of reaction force between a first reaction force increment and a second reaction force increment as the determined degree of risk grows from a predetermined cutoff value to a predetermined critical value to determine the command for regulating the actuator to realize the increment in reaction force. The first reaction force increment has a first magnitude in an area of a lower limit of a predetermined range, in magnitude, of increment in reaction force, which the vehicle operator can perceive through the sense of touch during depressing the accelerator pedal. The second reaction force increment has a second magnitude in an area of an upper limit of the predetermined range.

    摘要: A damping device is installed between a vehicle body and desired two of wheels and provided with a damping force producing mechanism for producing a larger damping force when the two wheels make strokes involving a relative movement therebetween, such as at the time of rolling, pitching, etc. than when the two wheels make strokes without involving any substantial relative movement therebetween, such as at the time of bouncing. In one embodiment, the damping force producing mechanism comprises a pair of restrictions in communication with cross conduits interconnecting upper and lower cylinder chambers. The conduits and cylinder chambers are arranged so as to cause a larger flow rate of fluid to pass through the restrictions when the wheel strokes involve a relative movement between the wheels than when the wheel strokes does not involve such relative movement.

    摘要: A computer-readable storage medium having stored therein an information processing program to be executed by a computer is provided. The information processing program causes the computer to function as: preferential display object placing means for placing a preferential display object in an imaging range of a virtual stereo camera in a virtual three-dimensional space; stereoscopically visible image rendering means for taking the virtual three-dimensional space using the virtual stereo camera, and rendering a stereoscopically visible image of the virtual three-dimensional space; and display control means for causing the display apparatus to display the stereoscopically visible image rendered by the stereoscopically visible image rendering means. The stereoscopically visible image rendering means renders the preferential display object in preference to a predetermined object in front of the preferential display object, such that a portion of the preferential display object being overlapped by the predetermined object is translucent.
