Abstract: A vehicle-surroundings monitoring apparatus is free from mistakenly identifying a lane marker on a road surface or a guard rail as a vehicle traveling in the blind spot of a nearby lane. A distance detecting section detects the distance up to a vehicle which is traveling in the blind-spot of a nearby lane and which is captured by a plurality of windows as set on a display screen. A detecting range restricting section restricts a distance detecting range for each window to a predetermined range to thereby select as a nearby vehicle an object to which the distance is within the predetermined range.

Abstract: An on-board navigation apparatus in which one of a plurality of service facilities displayed on a display is designated by an operator input, the position coordinate data corresponding to the designated one service facility is registered as a user position into a memory. When the map is displayed on the display, the position coordinate data which has been user position registered is read out from the memory. The position on the map indicated by the position coordinate data is multiplexed onto the map by a predetermined pattern and displayed on the display. The positions of the service facilities such as restaurants, hotels, or the like, which are necessary for each user, consequently, can be easily confirmed on the displayed map.

Abstract: A multi-mode route guidance system and a corresponding method for same include a device to determine a present position, preferable a GPS receiver, and an input device (111) for inputting a traveler specified destination position. A map database (115) provides memory capable of storing a first, or topology, type of record (225) that has topology and connectivity information (227), and a second, or route guidance, type of record (217) that has topology, connectivity, and traffic flow restriction information (227, 229). A route guidance device (101) retrieves selected records (217, 219, 221, 223, 225) from the map database (115). The selected records (217, 219, 221, 223, 225) retrieved are determined by the specified destination position and the present position of the traveler. The route guidance device (101) uses a selected record of the first type (225) to provide ground track guidance cues (601) to the traveler, and a selected record of the second type (217) to provide maneuver instruction guidance cues (501) to the traveler. Other system features include partial route planning for generating guidance instructions for guiding the traveler to an intermediate position (941) nearest to the destination position of the traveler (909), and displaying transition screens when the traveler is about to transit from a position covered by a map database having route guidance type records to a map data base having topology type records and vice-versa.

Abstract: A highly integrated GPS RF Front End which uses a single conversion stage employs an image rejection mixer stage to eliminate the need for an image reject RF bandpass filter. Also a relatively high sample rate A/D is employed which allows a timeless monolitic IF Filter to be used. The disclosure also discusses a GPS Front End topology that is easily integrated from industry standard building blocks. With the broad variation in potential receiver designs, the present invention includes some specific receiver topologies that lend themselves to a high level of integration. The specific designs presented here are comprised of industry standard building blocks and functions that have been described elsewhere in the related art.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus is operative so as to prevent a chattering of initiation and termination of vehicle control, such as automatic deceleration, on the basis of a variation in a predicted passing speed. The apparatus comprises a maximum passable speed calculating mechanism M5 which calculates a maximum passable speed of a forward curve ahead of the vehicle on the basis of a road shape determined by a road shape decision mechanism M11, and a predicted passing speed calculating mechanism M7 calculates a predicted passing speed for the forward curve on the basis of a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed detector M6. The maximum passable speed includes a control initiation speed and a control termination speed larger than the control initiation speed, and a passage-possible/impossible determining mechanism M8 initiates operations of a warning mechanism M9 and a vehicle speed regulating mechanism M10 if the predicted passing speed exceeds the control initiation speed, and terminates the operations of the warning mechanism M9 and the vehicle speed regulating mechanism M10 if the predicted passing speed falls below the control termination speed.

Abstract: A taxi trip meter system includes a taximeter and a location sensor connected to a computer loaded with street information and driver evaluation software. In a first embodiment, the estimated shortest route and distance between the starting and ending points of a trip are determined. If the estimated shortest trip distance is exceeded by an actual trip distance by a permissible margin, a distance violation is indicated. An actual average speed is calculated based on an actual trip duration and the actually traveled distance. If an estimated average speed limit for the actual route is exceeded by the actual average speed, a speed violation is indicated. In a second embodiment, an estimated taxi fare is calculated based on the estimated shortest route. If the estimated taxi fare is exceeded by an actual taxi fare calculated by the taximeter by a permissible margin, a fare violation is indicated.
