A target vehicle speed generation device includes a controller that includes a target travel route generation unit, a peripheral object information acquisition unit, and a target vehicle speed generation unit. The target travel route generation unit generates a target travel route of the vehicle. The peripheral object information acquisition unit acquires position information pertaining to an obstacle on a travel path of the vehicle, and position information pertaining to an obstacle that is located toward the side and is outside of the travel path of the vehicle. The target vehicle speed generation unit calculates a plurality of lateral deviations to the obstacle with respect to the target travel route, and generates a lower target vehicle speed for an obstacle having a lesser lateral deviation than for an obstacle having a greater lateral deviation.

A display device included in a vehicle includes: a communication unit, a display; and a control unit. The communication unit can receive vehicle travel information. The processor can calculate a speed range based on the received vehicle driving information and control the display to display a graphic object representative of the calculated speed range on the display.

An apparatus for controlling a transmission of a vehicle includes: a determination device that decides whether to perform a forward vehicle-based deceleration tracking control, based on information of the vehicle and a forward vehicle, when the vehicle starts to coast; a calculation device that calculates a target velocity and a target distance based on a position and a velocity of the forward vehicle, when the forward vehicle-based deceleration tracking control is decided to be performed; a gear position decision device that constructs deceleration profiles for respective gears and decides a final gear based on the target velocity and the target distance calculated; and a controller that controls the transmission based on the final gear.

A system and method in a building or vehicle for an actuator operation in response to a sensor according to a control logic, the system comprising a router or a gateway communicating with a device associated with the sensor and a device associated with the actuator over in-building or in-vehicle networks, and an external Internet-connected control server associated with the control logic implementing a PID closed linear control loop and communicating with the router over external network for controlling the in-building or in-vehicle phenomenon. The sensor may be a microphone or a camera, and the system may include voice or image processing as part of the control logic. A redundancy is used by using multiple sensors or actuators, or by using multiple data paths over the building or vehicle internal or external communication. The networks may be wired or wireless, and may be BAN, PAN, LAN, WAN, or home networks.

An image processing system includes: an image acquiring unit that acquires an image picked up by a camera, the camera being provided in a vehicle; and a quality changing unit that performs a quality changing process of decreasing a quality of the image to equal to or lower than a predetermined standard, based on at least one of a vehicle position at a time when the image is picked up, a vehicle position at a time when the image is output to an external device or a display device, and requestor information that indicates a requestor of an output request of the image.

Vehicles may be composed of a relatively few number of modules that are assembled together during a final assembly process. An example vehicle may include a body module, a first drive module coupled to a first end of the body module, and a second drive module coupled to a second end of the body module. One or both of the drive modules may include a pair of wheels, a battery, an electric drive motor, and/or a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. One or both of the drive modules may also include a crash structure to absorb impacts. If a component of a drive module fails or is damaged, the drive module can be quickly and easily replaced with a new drive module, minimizing vehicle down time.

Disclosed are a system and method for remotely controlling and monitoring a vehicle based on the IoT. A system for remotely controlling and monitoring a vehicle based on an IoT includes a communication unit configured to receive a remote control signal and an event signal and transmit monitoring information, a gear mode sensing unit configured to sense a gear mode, a control unit configured to generate a start-up control signal for a vehicle in response to the remote control signal or the event signal, output or stop a start-up control signal in response to a gear mode, output a monitoring signal when start-up is performed, perform transmission control through the communication unit by generating the monitoring information, generate and output an associated vehicle control signal in response to an event, and a start-up device configured to be turned on in response to the start-up control signal.

In a method for automatically adjusting the vehicle speed of a vehicle, while the distance to a preceding other vehicle is continuously measured, in order to reduce an initial distance, the vehicle is initially moved, in a drive phase, at a higher vehicle speed and is subsequently decelerated in a braking phase.

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle controls a vehicle includes: acquiring a direction and a distance value of the obstacle as position information of the obstacle based on radar data received through at least one of a plurality of reception channels corresponding to the angular resolution in the lateral direction of an obstacle detector, identifies a collision point that may collide with the obstacle based on the acquired position information of the obstacle, controls at least one of steering and braking based on the position information of the identified collision point; and when controlling the steering, acquires a collision avoidance margin distance value corresponding to the position information of the identified collision point, predicts the collision position based on the position information of the obstacle and the information detected by the velocity detector, acquires a distance value between the predicted collision position and the current position, acquires a movement distance value in the lateral direction based on the acquired distance value and a preset turning radius of the vehicle, acquires a steering angle based on the acquired movement distance value in the lateral direction and the acquired collision avoidance margin distance value and controls steering based on the acquired steering angle.

A vehicle speed control device includes: a parallel running vehicle detection sensor; and an electronic control unit configured to perform (i) cruise control, (ii) parallel running vehicle detection processing, (iii) blind zone avoidance control for controlling the speed of the vehicle such that the vehicle is moved to a position behind a blind zone of the parallel running vehicle when the parallel running vehicle is detected, (iv) blind zone getting-out determination processing for determining whether the vehicle can move to a position ahead of the blind zone by traveling according to the cruise condition, and (v) avoidance cancellation processing for prioritizing the control of the speed by the cruise control over the control of the speed by the blind zone avoidance control when it is determined by the blind zone getting-out determination processing that the vehicle can move to the position ahead of the blind zone.
