    Abstract: The vehicle 1 includes a tow vehicle 2 and a loading platform 3. The loading platform 3 includes a ROM 23 storing loading platform information including a loading platform type and a plurality of first external sensors 8 that detect an object around the loading platform 3. The tow vehicle 2 acquires the loading platform type from the loading platform 3 and includes an ADAS ECU 10 that performs a driving assist of the vehicle 1 based on the acquired loading platform type and a plurality of second external sensors 9 that detect an object around the tow vehicle 2. The ADAS ECU 10 converts the acquired detection data of each of the first external sensors 8 from a sensor coordinate system of each first external sensor to a loading platform coordinate system, further converts from the loading platform coordinate system to the tow vehicle coordinate system, integrates detection data of the first external sensor 8 and detection data of the second external sensor 9 into the tow vehicle coordinate system, and calculates the relative position and the relative speed of the detected object based on the integrated detection data.

    Abstract: Provided is an image processing device that, by performing highly accurate correction of a parallax error caused by a vertical offset between left and right cameras, makes it possible to accurately distinguish between a control object such as an object dropped on a road surface and road surface paint, and accurately detect a control object having a low step. The image processing device includes a specific region extraction unit that extracts a specific region on a road surface from a plurality of images captured by each of a plurality of in-vehicle cameras; a road surface parameter estimation unit that estimates a road surface structure represented by a road surface parameter, from a road surface portion other than the specific region, the road surface portion being a road surface in the image; a specific region parallax estimation unit that obtains, from the road surface structure, an ideal parallax to be obtained in the specific region; a parallax image generation unit that obtains a parallax from the plurality of images; and a vertical offset calculation unit that obtains a vertical offset amount of the plurality of images by using an actual parallax of the specific region, the ideal parallax of the specific region, and arrangement information in the image of the specific region.

    Abstract: A suspension control apparatus includes: a variable damper; a communication unit provided inside a vehicle to receive a dynamic map from a cloud; and a controller configured to adjust a force generated by the variable damper. The controller includes: a state estimation unit, which is provided inside the vehicle, and is configured to detect a motion of the vehicle; an operation-stability controller configured to calculate an AFB command value for the variable damper based on internal information output from the state estimation unit; and a dynamic-map controller configured to calculate an FF command value for the variable damper based on the dynamic map received from the communication unit. The controller determines a command value for the variable damper from the AFB command value and the FF command value.

    Abstract: A vehicle control device causes an automatic brake to function even for an obstacle suddenly appearing from outside a sensor detection range in a place estimated to be dangerous such as an intersection. A vehicle control device calculates time-to-collision TTC based on a detection result of an obstacle sensor, and controls a brake, which is an actuator of a vehicle, based on the calculated time-to-collision TTC. The vehicle control device includes a determination unit that determines right turn or left turn of the vehicle, and a command unit that sends a command according to a determination result of the determination unit to the brake. When determining that the vehicle is turning right or left, the determination unit changes the time-to-collision TTC to a longer value by extending more than that at the time of traveling straight.
