摘要:
In vehicular traveling control apparatus and method, comprising: a vehicular forward substance detecting section of a laser radar type is provided to detect a forward substance located in a forward direction of the vehicle, a vehicular travel control is performed on the basis of a relative positional relationship between the forward substance detected by the vehicular forward substance detecting section and the vehicle, such an impulse that a detection range of the vehicular forward substance detecting section is varied has been applied to the vehicular forward detecting section is detected, and the vehicular traveling control is inhibited when detecting that the impulse has been applied to the vehicular forward substance detecting section.

A vehicle travel controlling apparatus and method in which a target vehicle speed for when a vehicle travels along a curve is calculated based on a radius of the curve, and the vehicle speed is controlled based on the calculated target vehicle speed. When an accelerator operation performed by a driver is detected, the controller corrects the target vehicle speed based on a vehicle position where the acceleration operation is performed.

A braking control device performs a steering and/or avoidance possibility determination based on the state of the vehicle to execute automatic vehicle braking when an obstacle in front of the vehicle cannot be avoided by steering and/or braking. The device determines that the obstacle can be avoided by steering when the correlation value between steering avoidance time and relative velocity is smaller than the distance from the vehicle to the obstacle. The steering avoidance time is set to a shorter value when the suspension characteristic is stiffer and the sideways force generated by the front wheels is larger. The steering avoidance time is set successively shorter for low, high, and medium speed travel regions, respectively, to reflect the behavior response characteristic of the vehicle with respect to steering input. The vehicle deceleration that would occur if the driver released the accelerator pedal is considered in the braking avoidance possibility determination.

In adaptive cruise control method for an automotive vehicle, an inter-vehicle distance between the vehicle and a preceding vehicle which is traveling ahead of the vehicle is detected, a velocity of at least one of the vehicle and the preceding vehicle is detected, a traveling state of the vehicle is controlled on the basis of the detected inter-vehicle distance and a target inter-vehicle distance, a delay is provided for one of the detected velocities of the vehicle and the preceding vehicle which is used to set the target inter-vehicle distance at a time of a detection of one of the velocities of the vehicle and the preceding vehicle which is used to set the target inter-vehicle distance, and the target inter-vehicle distance is set on the basis of the detected velocity of one of the vehicle and the preceding vehicle for which the delay is provided.
摘要:
An adaptive cruise control system for an automotive vehicle includes at least a host vehicle speed detector an engine torque control system and a brake control system for controlling at least one of a host vehicle's speed, an inter-vehicle distance, and a relative velocity of the host vehicle to the preceding vehicle. When switching from an engine-torque-control-only operating mode suitable for a relatively small required host vehicle's acceleration/deceleration to an engine-torque-control plus brake-control operating mode suitable for a relatively large required host vehicle's acceleration/deceleration occurs, an initial value of a host vehicle's speed command value is reset to a value being offset from the host vehicle's speed by a predetermined value.
摘要:
In automatic vehicular velocity control apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, a controller is responsive to the detection of a new preceding vehicle by an inter-vehicle distance detector and programmed to derive a target motion of the vehicle until a present relationship between the vehicle and the new preceding vehicle becomes a relationship between the vehicle and the preceding vehicle in a steady state and to adjust a vehicular variation rate in such a manner that the motion of the vehicle gives the target motion of the vehicle. In a embodiment, a target value of a vehicular acceleration/deceleration is calculated as the target motion of the vehicle.

A thread cutting device for a cylinder bed sewing machine for sewing by means of a plurality of needles a piece of fabric supported on a cylindrical bed while transporting the fabric piece in a given direction, wherein a hook portion of a thread catch member which is adapted to plunge into and retreat from needle thread loops in orthogonal relation to an obliquely inclined plane of opening of the needle thread loops so that a plurality of needle and looper threads are accurately caught into the hook portion and then carried along thereby for cutting. In addition, an arrangement is disclosed which enables the mounting of the thread cutting device without interferring with the movement of a looper, even if the available space within the bed is very limited.
摘要:
A cruise control device and method for controlling a vehicle such that the driver can set the speed setting at will, and the speed of the vehicle is controlled to match the speed setting. The speed limit for the road on which the vehicle is traveling is detected, and when the detected speed limit changes from a first speed limit to a second speed limit, the speed setting is selectively changed to the second speed limit. When the driver has performed an operation to change the speed setting before the detected speed limit changes from the first speed limit to the second speed limit, changing of the speed setting to the second speed limit is selectively suppressed.
