    摘要: A screw driving device includes: a case; a motor provided with a rotor; an output member capable of driving in rotation an element for driving an element to be screwed; a transmission connecting the rotor to the output member, the transmission including at least one additional gear train capable of being engaged/disengaged; an motor controller. The device includes an element for engaging the additional gear train, which is capable of being in at least: an engagement state in which the additional train is engaged, and a disengagement state in which the additional gear train is not engaged. A reduction ratio of the transmission between the rotor and the output member is different according to whether or not the additional gear train is engaged, the reduction ratio being greater when the additional gear train is engaged.

    摘要: A controller is configured to set a stopping order of a plurality of vehicles, which indicates the vehicle order at a stop location in a stopping area. The controller is further configured to estimate an arrival order, which indicates the order in which the plurality of vehicles arrive at a prescribed location, based on position information of the plurality of vehicles. The controller is further configured to determine whether the arrival order differs from the stopping order The controller is further configured to control the travel of at least one vehicle from among the plurality of vehicles upon determining that the arrival order differs from the stopping order, such that the arrival order is the same as the stopping order by a time the plurality of vehicles arrive at the prescribed location.

    摘要: A method controls a motor vehicle including a plurality of sensors for acquiring raw data relative to the environment of the vehicle and a computational unit for receiving the raw data acquired by the sensors. The method includes: the computational unit receives the raw data and processes the raw data to deduce therefrom pieces of information relative to the environment of the vehicle and coefficients of probability of error in the deduction of each piece of information, and settings for controlling the vehicle are generated depending on the pieces of information and the probability coefficients. For at least one of the sensors, a quality coefficient relative to the quality of the raw data sent by this sensor is determined, the reliability of the control settings is estimated, and a decision is made to correct or not correct the control settings depending on the estimated reliability of the control settings.

    摘要: A first method includes identifying an occlusion in the vehicle transportation network; identifying, for a first world object that is on a first side of the occlusion, a visibility grid on a second side of the occlusion; and altering a driving behavior of the first vehicle based on the visibility grid. The visibility grid is used in determining whether other world objects exist on the second side of the occlusion. A second includes identifying a first trajectory of a first world object in the vehicle transportation network; identifying a visibility grid of the first world object; identifying, using the visibility grid, a second world object that is invisible to the first world object; and, in response to determining that the first world object is predicted to collide with the second world object, alerting at least one of the first world object or the second world object.
