    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted device includes an interference determination unit and a sensor control unit. The interference determination unit determines whether an interference state where a first electromagnetic wave ranging sensor equipped to a first vehicle may receive a second transmission wave transmitted from a second electromagnetic wave sensor equipped to a second vehicle is present, based on transmission time frame information received by a first wireless communication device equipped to the first vehicle, and reception duration information indicating a reception duration during which a first electromagnetic wave ranging sensor equipped to the first vehicle may receive a first reflected wave. The sensor control unit controls transmission timing for transmitting the first transmission wave from the first electromagnetic wave ranging sensor and a reception duration, and changes the transmission timing and the reception duration to avoid the interference state, when the interference determination unit determines that the interference state is present.

    Abstract: A parking space recognition apparatus includes an onboard camera, a wireless receiver, and a parking space determination portion. The onboard camera is mounted to a first vehicle and captures a peripheral image around the first vehicle. The wireless receiver is mounted to the first vehicle and receives a parking-space related information that is transmitted from an outside of the first vehicle. The parking space determination portion is mounted to the first vehicle and determines a parking space to park the first vehicle on a basis of the peripheral image and the parking-space related information.

    Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus in a subject vehicle includes a driving assistance section. A subject-vehicle estimated trajectory is estimated as a subsequent traveling trajectory from a current position and a traveling orientation of the subject vehicle. A neighboring-vehicle estimated trajectory is estimated as a subsequent traveling trajectory of a neighboring vehicle by acquiring trajectory estimation information. A determination area is designated to include a crossing point included in the subject-vehicle estimated trajectory and the neighboring-vehicle estimated trajectory. It is determined whether the determination area includes an intersection node in road map information. A first driving assistance level is used when the determination area does not include the intersection node; the first driving assistance level is smaller in driving assistance than a second driving assistance level used when the determination area includes the intersection node.

    Abstract: A vehicle controller includes a follow travel instructor conducting a lead vehicle follow control by auto-steering for a following of an own vehicle to follow a lead vehicle, an other vehicle information obtainer obtaining transmitted information transmitted from the lead vehicle, the transmitted information including information regarding a front situation of the lead vehicle, and an across-boundary move determiner determining whether the lead vehicle may cross a traffic lane boundary to an opposite traffic lane, based on the front situation information of the lead vehicle obtained by the other vehicle information obtainer. The follow travel instructor stops conducting the lead vehicle follow control based on a determination by the across-boundary move determiner that the lead vehicle may cross the traffic lane boundary. In such manner, an occupant of the own vehicle is prevented from becoming frightened by the auto-steering.

    Abstract: An other vehicle position estimation apparatus for estimating the position of another vehicle on the road using a particle filtering process includes an other vehicle map matcher and a particle number controller. The other vehicle map matcher includes an updater for updating the position of a particle distributed on a map, a likelihood calculator for calculating the likelihood of the particle position, and a position estimator configured to estimate the position of the other vehicle based on the position of the particle. The particle number controller determines a number of particles to distribute based on at least one of (i) a relative positional relationship between a subject vehicle and the other vehicle, (ii) an actual vehicle speed of the other vehicle, (iii) a distribution state of the particles, and (iv) a relationship between the position of the other vehicle and the road.

    Abstract: In an encounter vehicle determination apparatus, a probability of a host vehicle entering a host-vehicle intersection on a host-vehicle's course on a map-is estimated. A different-vehicle intersection on a course of a different vehicle on a map either (i) along the host-vehicle's course or (ii) from a connection road with the host-vehicle intersection to the host-vehicle's course is extracted within a predetermined range based on vehicle information acquired from the different vehicle via inter-vehicle communications. A probability of the different vehicle entering the different-vehicle intersection is estimated. A probability of encounter between the host vehicle and the different vehicle at the host-vehicle intersection is calculated from the estimated probabilities of (i) the host vehicle entering the host-vehicle intersection and (ii) the different vehicle entering the different-vehicle intersection. The different vehicle having the probability of encounter equal to or more than a threshold is determined to encounter the host vehicle.
