摘要:
A reflection-point estimation section constituting an object detection apparatus first calculates a rotational correction angle for each estimated reflection point Pn by using the following equation, using the fact that the ratio of the amount of change in a detected distance dn to a movement amount In of a sonar is nearly equal to a tangent with respect to the direction normal to the surface of an object: Rotational correction angleφ=atan{(dn+1−dn)/In} in which n is a natural number. Subsequently, the reflection-point estimation section obtains estimated reflection points Pn′ after correction, by rotating each estimated reflection point Pn based on the calculation result.

摘要:
When performing automatic control of a steering device that assists a host vehicle to be pulled into or out of a parking space, an electronic control unit performs the following procedure. When there is, as a path for pulling the vehicle into or out of the parking space, a path in which a predicted temperature of the steering device for when the automatic control is performed to move the vehicle along the path would be lower than an allowable upper limit value, the electronic control unit starts the automatic control to move the vehicle along the path. In contrast, when there is no path in which the predicted temperature is lower than the allowable upper limit value, the electronic control unit prohibits the automatic control.
摘要:
An approaching vehicle detecting system that detects an approaching vehicle on the basis of sounds collected by a plurality of sound collectors mounted on a host vehicle determines whether a transverse moving direction of a sound source detected by the plurality of sound collectors is a direction approaching the host vehicle, determines whether a vertical position of the sound source detected using the plurality of sound collectors is in the same plane as that of the host vehicle, and detects that sound source as the approaching vehicle when it is determined that the transverse moving direction of the sound source is the direction approaching the host vehicle and the vertical position of the sound source is in the same plane as that of the host vehicle.

摘要:
In a parking support device, a distance measuring unit measures a quantity equivalent to a distance from an automotive vehicle to an object existing in a predetermined direction. A storage unit stores a sequence of points indicating results of the measurement performed multiple times. A first object specifying unit generates first object information based on the sequence of points when a length of the sequence of points has exceeded a first reference length. A second object specifying unit generates second object information based on the sequence of points when a length of the sequence of points has exceeded a second, larger reference length. A target parking position is determined based on the first object information in a stage where the first object information is generated.

To provide a parking assistance device for accurately detecting obstacles in the periphery of a parking zone; for detecting a parking space in which a vehicle can be parked without coming into contact with the obstacles; and for satisfactorily assisting a driving operation. The parking assistance device detects a stationary object present in the periphery of a vehicle, and assists in parking the vehicle. The parking assistance device comprises surface shape detection means (1) for detecting the surface shape information of the stationary object; shape recognition means (2) for recognizing the outline shape of the stationary object on the basis of the surface shape information; movement status detection means (6) for detecting the movement status of the vehicle; relative placement calculation means (3) for calculating the relative placement relationship of the vehicle and the stationary object on the basis of the surface shape information, the outline shape, and the movement status; and parking space detection means (4) for detecting a parking space in which the vehicle can be parked on the basis of the placement relationship.

A neighboring object information acquisition device comprises a distance measuring unit measuring a quantity equivalent to a distance to a neighboring object in a predetermined direction. A storage unit stores a sequence of points indicating results of the measurement performed multiple times. An object detection unit detects existence of the object based on the sequence of points. An approximation unit outputs an approximation of the sequence of points by applying a curve or a straight line, so that an approximate curve or an approximate straight line is derived. An evaluation unit outputs a result of evaluation of a reliability of the sequence of points. A determination unit determines object information by selecting one of information derived from the sequence of points and information derived from the result of approximation in accordance with the result of evaluation.
摘要:
An onboard forward monitoring system is disclosed in which three television cameras, each supported by a steering mechanism, take picture of a road surface located forward of a vehicle at near distance, a medium distance and a far distance zone to detect white lines which partition a lane on the road surface, thus detecting a vehicle running ahead on the lane which is defined by the white lines. To enable a reliable detection and tracking of the vehicle running ahead in any zone of the road surface even when the road is curved, the individual television cameras are steered so that a vehicle running ahead is positioned at the center of the screen whenever such vehicle is present and so that a center across the width of the lane is positioned at the center of screen when a vehicle running ahead is not detected.

A parking assist device assists entry or exit of a vehicle with respect to a parking space through an automatic control of a steering device. The parking assist device includes: a calculator that obtains, to perform the automatic control of the steering device, a path for allowing the vehicle to enter or exit the parking space based on the parking space, calculates an amount of temperature rise of the steering device at the execution of the automatic control for allowing the vehicle to move along the obtained path, and calculates a predicted temperature of the steering device at the execution of the automatic control by adding the calculated amount of temperature rise to a current value of the temperature of the steering device; and a controller that inhibits the execution of the automatic control when the predicted temperature is equal to or higher than a determination value.
摘要:
A target position setting device includes a distance meter, an imager, first and second calculating portions, a determination portion, and a setting portion. The distance meter measures a distance to an object around a vehicle. The imager takes an image of an environment around the vehicle. The first calculating portion calculates a first candidate of a target position of the vehicle according to a measuring result of the distance meter. The second calculating portion calculates a second candidate of the target position of the vehicle according to an imaging result of the imager. The determination portion determines whether a relationship between the first candidate and the second candidate meets a given condition. The setting portion sets the target position according to the second candidate of the target position when the determination portion determines that the relationship between the first candidate and the second candidate meets the given condition.
