    Abstract: In an obstacle detection apparatus, a signal output unit is configured to output a signal if an obstacle meets at least one preset signal output condition. A condition setting unit is configured to set at least one element of the at least one signal output condition to a value in dependence on a user entry value. A misalignment detection unit is configured to detect misalignment of an axial direction of a sensor with a longitudinal direction of a vehicle carrying the apparatus. In the apparatus, an allowable range limiting unit is configured to, if a degree of misalignment exceeds a predetermined misalignment threshold, limit an allowable range of values of the at least one element of the at least one preset signal output condition so as to make the at least one preset signal output condition less prone to be met.

    Abstract: A course estimator has a first estimating means, a second estimating means and a determining means. The first estimating means obtains first information and estimating a first radius of a first forward traveling path on the basis of the obtained first information, the first forward traveling path being a part of a forward traveling path to which a vehicle is going to travel. The second estimating means obtains second information and estimating a second radius of a second forward traveling path on the basis of the obtained second information, the second forward traveling path being a part of the forward traveling path to which a vehicle is going to travel, the second forward traveling path being farther from the vehicle than the first traveling being. The determining means determines whether or not there is a changing point where road shapes change between the first forward traveling path and the second forward traveling path on the basis of comparison of the estimated first radius and the estimated second radius.

    Abstract: A lateral position of a vehicle is estimated by collating a position of a lane division line in map data with a relative position of the lane division line with respect to the vehicle indicated by a recognition result by a peripheral monitoring sensor. The lateral position of the vehicle is precluded from being specified using the estimated lateral position of the vehicle in response to a lateral deviation between (i) a position of a landmark in the map data and (ii) a translated landmark position being equal to or greater than a first threshold value. The translated landmark position is a position on map deviated from the estimated lateral position of the vehicle assumed to be the lateral position of the vehicle on map by a relative position of the landmark with respect to the vehicle indicated by the recognition result by the peripheral monitoring sensor.

    Abstract: In an axial misalignment determination apparatus mounted on a mobile object, a misalignment determiner performs axial misalignment determination processing to determine whether or not a reference axis of a transceiver for transmitting and receiving probe waves and a mounting reference axis of the mobile object coincide in direction. A necessity determiner determines whether or not a condition for performing the axial misalignment determination processing is met, and if the condition is met, determines that there is a need to perform the axial misalignment determination processing.The condition is predefined based on an extrapolation result of an extrapolator for extrapolating a target and a determination result of a deposit determiner for determining the presence or absence of a deposit on an object. If it is determined by the necessity determiner that there is a need to perform the axial misalignment determination processing, the misalignment determiner performs the axial misalignment determination processing.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided to recognize a shape of a road on which a vehicle is traveling. Road edge shapes on a left side and a right side of the vehicle are recognized, from positions of roadside objects detected based on detection information from an on-board radar. Lane shapes that are shapes of lane boundary lines on the left side and the right side of the vehicle are recognized, from positions of lane boundary lines detected based on an image captured by an on-board camera. For each of the left side and the right side, such that the recognized road edge shape and the recognized lane shape are compared with each other, and the road shape is identified based on the comparison results.
