Abstract: A vehicle position guidance system includes a terminal position measurement section, a vehicle position measurement section, a calculator, and a guide. The terminal position measurement section measures a position of a terminal carried by a user. The vehicle position measurement section measures a position of a parked vehicle. The calculator obtains a route using position information related to the terminal and position information related to the parked vehicle. The guide assists the user in entering the vehicle by selectively using a first guidance and a second guidance depending on whether a distance is long or short between the terminal and the parked vehicle on the route. The first guidance provides guidance to the position of the parked vehicle using the terminal. The second guidance provides guidance to the position of the parked vehicle through a notification using a vehicle on-board device of the parked vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle sensor unit includes a millimeter wave radar device, an infrared sensor that is arranged at a position adjacent to the millimeter wave radar device, and a cover having a first cover portion and a second cover portion. The first cover portion is located in front of the millimeter wave radar device in a transmission direction of the millimeter waves to conceal the millimeter wave radar device and has millimeter wave transparency. The second cover portion is located in front of the infrared sensor in a transmission direction of the infrared light to conceal the infrared sensor and has infrared light transparency. The millimeter wave radar device and the infrared sensor are attached to the cover so that the whole vehicle sensor unit is configured as a single unit.

Abstract: A vehicle sensor unit includes an infrared sensor configured to transmit an infrared ray to an outside of the vehicle, and receive an infrared ray reflected by a detection target object outside the vehicle, and a cover which is located in front of the infrared sensor in a transmission direction of the infrared ray to cover the infrared sensor and through which the infrared ray passes. A plurality of fine projection portions are formed on a surface of the cover on an opposite side of a surface on an infrared sensor side, at least in a region through which the infrared ray passes, and an interval between the projection portions that are adjacent to each other is equal to or smaller than a wavelength of the infrared ray.

Abstract: A sealing member arranged in a vehicle sensor unit is provided. The vehicle sensor unit includes an optical sensor and a cover. The optical sensor is configured to transmit light out of a vehicle and receive the light that has struck and has been reflected by an object outside the vehicle. The cover is arranged in front of the optical sensor in a direction in which the light is transmitted to cover the optical sensor and permit passage of the light. The sealing member connects the optical sensor and the cover to each other while covering a gap between the optical sensor and the cover.
