摘要： A temporary connecting device for connecting a steering shaft of a vehicle to a universal joint of a steering mechanism. The device comprises a yoke of a universal joint, a shaft to be connected to the yoke, a bolt and a nut for fixing the shaft to the yoke and a clip for temporarily retaining the shaft in the yoke. The clip is composed of a thin plate member having a support portion fixed to one of the tabs of the yoke and a latching portion positioned in the U-shaped groove in a normal state, the latching portion comprising a cam slant portion which is brought into contact with the shaft when the shaft is inserted into a U-shaped groove from an open side thereof in order to connect the shaft to the yoke so as to retract the latching portion from the U-shaped groove by the elastic deformation thereof to allow the shaft to move into the U-shaped groove, and a latching surface portion to be returned into the U-shaped groove after the shaft is inserted into the U-shaped groove so as to temporarily retain the shaft at a predetermined position.

摘要： A vehicle control system reduces the arithmetic operations for deciding the passableness of the vehicle through an upcoming curve and also avoids unnecessarily effecting automatic deceleration and warning, which are not completely indispensable in a system for performing the warning or automatic deceleration, so that the vehicle may pass through a curve at a proper vehicle speed and with minimum distraction to the vehicle occupants. Assuming that the driver performs a voluntary deceleration at a predetermined deceleration from the current vehicle speed, the system calculates an estimated passage speed of a tentative position N.sub.k, as set on a road ahead of an actual position P.sub.0. The system then sets a passable zone Z.sub.1, a warning zone Z.sub.2 and an automatic deceleration zone Z.sub.3 on the basis of turnable radii R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, at which a predetermined transverse acceleration is established at the estimated passage speed, as well as an arc C.sub.1 ' defining a range of a predetermined distance from the tentative position N.sub.k. The driver is warned by the system, when any of nodes N.sub.k+1, - - - , and soon ahead of the tentative position N.sub.k is present in the warning zone Z.sub.2, and the vehicle is automatically decelerated by the system when any of the nodes is present in the automatic deceleration zone Z.sub.3.

摘要： A vehicle control system enables the passableness of a vehicle through an upcoming section of road to be properly decided, by compensating the influences which are exerted upon the passableness decision by the detection errors of the actual position of the vehicle. Assuming that a deceleration is performed by the vehicle driver at a predetermined reference deceleration .beta. from a vehicle speed V.sub.0 at an actual position P.sub.0, the system calculates passable vehicle speeds of a plurality of tentative positions N.sub.k which are set on a road ahead of the actual position P.sub.0. On the basis of the passable vehicle speeds corresponding to the individual tentative positions N.sub.k, a passable zone Z.sub.1, a warning zone Z.sub.2 and an automatic deceleration zone Z.sub.3 are set by the system so that a warning to the driver is performed, if any of nodes N.sub.k+1, - - - , and so on ahead of the tentative position N.sub.k is present in the warning zone Z.sub.2, and the automatic deceleration of the vehicle is performed if any of the nodes are present in the automatic deceleration zone Z.sub.3. In order that the decision error of the passableness, as accompanying the detection error of the actual position P.sub.0, may be compensated, the reference deceleration .beta. is corrected in accordance with the magnitude of the vehicle speed V.sub.0 or the radius of curvature of the road.

摘要： An azimuth change quantity .theta. of a road during traveling of a vehicle for a time .delta.t is calculated based on road data provided by a navigation system and a vehicle speed provided by a vehicle speed sensor (at step S3 in FIG. 2). On the other hand, an azimuth change quantity .THETA. of the vehicle is calculated by integrating a yaw rate .gamma. obtained from a yaw rate sensor over the time .delta.t (at step S5). A deviation D between the azimuth change quantity .theta. of the road and the azimuth change quantity .THETA. of the vehicle is calculated (at step S6). When the deviation D becomes equal to or larger than a reference value .beta., it is determined that there is a possibility that the vehicle will depart from the road (at step S9), and a predetermined steering torque is applied to a steering device, so that the deviation is converged into zero (at steps S10 and S11).

摘要： The alertness of the vehicle operator is determined from an operating condition of the vehicle such as the steering torque, the rack thrust, and/or the yaw rate, and the determined level of alertness of the vehicle operator is advantageously reflected in the control property of the steering control system. If the alertness of the vehicle operator is significantly low, and the vehicle operator may even have dozed off, the steering control system then maximizes its intervention in the steering control so that the vehicle is automatically forced to travel along the proper path of travel. If desired, the vehicle operator may be warned by applying a vibratory torque to the steering wheel. Conversely, when the alertness of the vehicle operator is high, the intervention of the control system in the steering control is minimized so that the intentional steering effort by the vehicle operator would not be resisted or opposed by the steering control system even when an extreme steering operation is carried out.

摘要： A driving control system for a vehicle includes a map information output device for outputting a map, a vehicle position detecting device for detecting a vehicle position of a subject vehicle on the map, a vehicle speed detecting device for detecting a vehicle speed, a passable area determining device for determining a passable area on the map on the basis of the detected vehicle speed, and a passability/impassability judging device for deciding that the vehicle may pass through a portion of road when a road which is in front of the vehicle position in a traveling direction is included in the passable area on the map. The road which is in front of the vehicle position in the traveling direction is compared with the determined passable area, and when the road is included in the passable area, it is decided that the vehicle may pass through the portion of road. Thus, it is possible to properly judge whether or not the vehicle may pass through the portion of road by a simple calculation not including a complex and poor-accuracy calculation of the radius of curvature of a road.
