摘要:
To accurately detect a resonance frequency of tire even in high speed range by which tire air pressure state of each wheel is known, a calculation processing unit to which detection signals of wheel speed and resonance frequencies of tire are inputted calculates a timewise change amount of a wheel speed deviation that is a difference between wheel speed ratios of front and rear wheels. Then, it makes corrections to remove the influence of timewise change amounts of resonance frequencies of front wheels from timewise change amounts of wheel speed deviations based on a relationship between the resonance frequency and the wheel speed deviation when air pressure of the tire is changed. The unit then converts the corrected timewise change amount of the rotational state into the timewise change amount of the resonance frequencies of the rear wheels based on the above-described relationship and the resonance frequencies of the rear wheels and the timewise change amounts of the resonance frequencies of the rear wheels which have been accurately detected before the vehicle speed exceeds an upper limit value.

A tire air pressure detection device includes an ideal driving status calculating portion (3e) and a rotational status value compensating portion (3f). The ideal driving status calculating portion calculates an ideal status value (βid) corresponding to a slip value under an ideal driving status without tire slippage. The rational status value compensating portion calculates and ideal rotational status value under the ideal driving status without tire slip based on the regression line calculated by a regression line calculating portion (3d) and the ideal slip status value calculated by the ideal driving status calculating portion.

A tire air pressure detection device of the present invention includes a warning anticipation timing calculating portion for anticipating a warning timing at which tire air pressure decrease detecting portion will detect the tire air pressure decrease based on rotational status value compensated for by a rotational status value compensating portion. A tire air pressure decrease detecting portion detects a decrease in tire air pressure when a clocked determination time reaches the warning anticipation timing anticipated by the warning anticipation timing calculating portion.

The vehicle head light is provided with a heat radiating member including a pillar member provided to extend from a bottom wall of a housing, on which a light source is mounted, a heat radiating fins fixed radially to the outer periphery of the pillar member, and a guide wall provided surrounding sides of the heat radiating fins. The guide wall is sloped with respect to bottom wall of the housing so that spaces each formed by adjacent two of the heat radiating fins and the guide wall become narrower with increasing distance from the lower end of the guide wall. The guide wall is formed with slits to make air communication between the light chamber and each of the spaces, the slits being shaped to be narrower with increasing distance from the lower end of the guide wall.

A straight running state is accurately determined using only wheel speed data in any running state. Based upon right and left wheel speed values calculated by a wheel speed calculating mechanism (13) from detection values of right and left wheel speed sensors (11, 12), a wheel speed ratio calculating mechanism (21), a distance calculating mechanism (31), and a distance ratio calculating mechanism (32) respectively calculate a right and left wheel speed ratio, an actual running distance, a linear distance, and a distance ratio of the two distances at every preset checkpoint (CP). A wheel speed ratio change amount evaluating mechanism (24) extracts CPs at times where a change amount of the wheel speed ratio is relatively small as effective CPs, and a determining mechanism (43) determines an effective CP with the smallest distance ratio from among the effective CPs as in a straight running state.

A sensor that can rapidly and accurately detect a side collision of a vehicle. The sensor includes a fixed member in a vehicle door and a movable member that has an impact receiving part. The impact receiving part has a high rigidity outside of the fixed member. The impact receiving part also has energy absorbing parts with lower rigidity and a detection part arranged opposite to the movable member at a predetermined interval above the fixed member. When the impact receiving part receives an impact exceeding a predetermined valve, the energy absorption parts are deformed so as to move the movable member. This movement is then detected by the detection part.

A driving assistance apparatus mounted to a vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus determines whether an amount of change in tire wheel speed of each tire wheel of the vehicle exceeds a threshold. The apparatus specifies a tire wheel crossing order, which is an order in which the tire wheels of the vehicle cross over a level difference between a road and a parking lot when the vehicle crosses over the level difference. The apparatus determines whether or not the vehicle has crossed over the level difference between the road and the parking lot, based on whether a threshold-exceeding order is identical to the specified tire wheel crossing order. The threshold-exceeding order is an order in which the amounts of change in the tire wheel speed of the respective tire wheels exceed the threshold.

In a light chamber formed in a housing case and a lens cover placed at a front part of the housing case in a headlamp assembly, a projection lens, a shade and a light source are arranged in line from the front side of the light chamber along an optical axis of the light source. A radiating member has radiating fins of a plate shape vertically placed in the light chamber, and radiates heat energy generated by the light source to surrounding air. A slit composed of a vertical slit part and an inclined-slit part is formed in each of the radiating fins. The formation of the slit generates a change of heat capacity and a temperature difference at upper and bottom parts of each of the radiating fins. The incline-slit part is extended from the top of the vertical slit part to the upper part of the radiating fin.

A collision sensing system for a side air bag system has a door opening state detector and an air bag actuation inhibiter. The side air bag system is provided with an air bag which is confined in a side door of a vehicle and inflated and expanded in a space between an occupant of the vehicle and the inner side wall of the compartment such as the side door when a collision detector detects a vehicle collision. The air bag actuation inhibiter inhibits the inflation of the air bag when the door opening state detector detects the open state of the side door.
