    摘要: A route guidance method includes: if, on a set route from a departure point to a destination of a vehicle, a travelling road at a present position of the vehicle has a first plurality of lanes, and a next road following a nearest branch point from the present position has a second plurality of lanes, finding a branch-merge point up to which lanes other than a lane for reaching the destination out of the second plurality of lanes have gone away; and if a start point of traffic congestion is downstream of the branch-merge point, and an end point of the traffic congestion is upstream of the nearest branch point, guiding the vehicle to the lane for reaching the destination as a target before reaching the end point.

    摘要: A first method includes identifying an occlusion in the vehicle transportation network; identifying, for a first world object that is on a first side of the occlusion, a visibility grid on a second side of the occlusion; and altering a driving behavior of the first vehicle based on the visibility grid. The visibility grid is used in determining whether other world objects exist on the second side of the occlusion. A second includes identifying a first trajectory of a first world object in the vehicle transportation network; identifying a visibility grid of the first world object; identifying, using the visibility grid, a second world object that is invisible to the first world object; and, in response to determining that the first world object is predicted to collide with the second world object, alerting at least one of the first world object or the second world object.

    摘要: A method prepares voice guidance instructions for an individual, formulated in the most natural fashion possible. The method includes:—determining, by a computer, a path to be followed, —acquiring, by an image acquisition unit, at least one image of the environment of the individual, —processing the image in order to detect at least one object therein and in order to characterise the object, and —preparing a voice guidance instruction supplying the user with a piece of information for carrying out a manoeuvre in order to follow the path. The method also includes determining a level of complexity of the manoeuvre, and, in the preparation step, the voice guidance instruction is formulated using an indication deduced from the characterisation of the object only if the level of complexity of the manoeuvre is greater than a first threshold.

    摘要: A device manufactures an electrode strip for a battery including a current collector strip and at least one layer of electrochemically active composite material on either side of the current collector strip. The device includes an extruder including a sheath, an extrusion head, and an extrusion screw. The extrusion screw includes an outer tube and an inner tube that are coaxial and fitted into one another. The outer tube is mounted so as to be rotatably movable relative to the sheath. The inner tube is stationary relative to the sheath and includes an outlet located upstream of the extrusion head. Moreover, the manufacturing device includes advancing and unwinding structure to convey the current collector strip through the inner tube and up to the extrusion head.

    摘要: A controller causes a host vehicle to decelerate when a velocity of an oncoming vehicle corresponding to a position of the oncoming vehicle distant from a stationary object by a predetermined distance is greater than or equal to a velocity threshold corresponding to the position of the oncoming vehicle distant from the stationary object by the predetermined distance in a case in which a passing position is present within a predetermined region, and causes the host vehicle to keep the velocity or accelerate when the velocity of the oncoming vehicle corresponding to the position of the oncoming vehicle distant from the stationary object by the predetermined distance is less than the velocity threshold corresponding to the position of the oncoming vehicle distant from the stationary object by the predetermined distance in the case in which the passing position is present within the region.

    摘要: The present disclosure includes receiving, by a server (1), experience information via a telecommunications network (3) from each of terminals (3) carried by respective users (A to E), the experience information being information regarding an experience desired by each of the users; extracting, in the server, two or more users to generate a single community for the experience information of the two or more users, the two or more users transmitting the experience information having a similarity level not less than a predetermined threshold; extracting, in the server, a destination (5) associated with the experience information having the similarity level not lower than the predetermined threshold using a database (17) configured to preliminarily store the experience information and the destination in association with each other; and transmitting the destination from the server via the telecommunications network to the terminals carried by the two or more users who constitute the single community.

    摘要: A method for controlling the input voltage frequency of a DC-DC converter includes calculating a control frequency value of the DC-DC converter. If the measured voltage is greater than the upper voltage limit, the control frequency corresponds to the minimum control frequency. If the measured voltage is less than the lower voltage limit, the control frequency corresponds to the maximum control frequency. If the measured voltage is between the upper voltage limit and the lower voltage limit, the control frequency corresponds to an average frequency calculated as a function of the difference between the setpoint voltage value and the measured voltage, upper error values and lower error values, and maximum and minimum control frequency values.

    摘要: A method for detecting an exit lane for a motor vehicle includes: detecting, in images acquired by an onboard camera, marking lines on the ground on the right and on the left laterally delimiting the main traffic lane, determining first and second heading angles with respect to the detected marking lines, providing a first, standard exit lane detection state, based on the comparison of the first and second heading angles with a predetermined threshold, and providing a second, coaxial exit lane detection state, based on the comparison between the derivatives with respect to time of the variation of the first and second heading angles and of the verification that the value of the first or the second heading angle remains substantially close to a zero value.
