A parking assist device is used for a vehicle on which a power receiving coil including a first coil and a second coil is mounted. The parking assist device includes a hardware processor functioning as an acquisition unit and a vehicle control unit. The acquisition unit serves to acquire route information for parking the vehicle at a facing position where a power feeding coil and the first coil of the power receiving coil face each other. The vehicle control unit serves to perform control of parking the vehicle by using the route information. The power receiving coil is mounted on the vehicle such that a distance between a center position of the first coil and a center position of the vehicle in a vehicle length direction becomes shorter than a distance between a center position of the second coil and the center position of the vehicle.

Disclosed is a landscaped surface applicable to all types of vehicles, which includes a frame with a settling base that rests on a detachable supporting element or directly on the roof of the vehicle, inside which there are separator partitions and a root development base made of flexible and light hydrophilic material, with a reticular structure that retains a volume of water of between 10 and 30 times the weight thereof, expelling the excess via drainage openings arranged in the lower area of its vertical face of the frame. There is a layer of covering vegetation on the root development base and a mesh secured to a fastening flap in the high part of the frame.

A parking assistance device assists in re-parking a vehicle that has been parked with its position and orientation deviated from ideal ones, by repositioning the vehicle to be at a correct position and in a correct orientation. A parking assistance device is adapted to assist in parking a vehicle in a parking space provided on one side of a road, and includes a parking path setting unit that sets a parking path of from the initial position of the vehicle on the road to a target parking position in the parking space, a positional deviation determination unit that determines whether there is any positional deviation between the vehicle and the parking space when the vehicle has been parked along the parking path, and a repositioning path computing unit configured to compute a repositioning path when a positional deviation is determined to be present.

A motor vehicle has a body with an opening that can be closed by a preferably pivotable cover and a box-shaped metallic reflector that is open towards the opening for receiving an HPEM source and that is reversibly insertable into the opening. The reflector is connected to the body by an earth connection following insertion of the reflector. The earth connection is implemented by a brush strip containing fibers of a conductive material that connects the box-shaped reflector to the body circumferentially on all sides in the region of the opening.

A vehicle periphery monitoring device is configured to: specify positions of detection points of an obstacle with respect to a vehicle based on detection results of multiple periphery monitoring sensors equipped to the vehicle; update the positions of the detected detection points corresponding to a position change of the vehicle; storing the updated positions of the detection points in a memory that maintains stored information during a parked state of the vehicle; and estimate, at a start time of the vehicle from the parked state, a position of a detection point, which is located in a blind spot and is not detected by all of the multiple periphery monitoring sensors at the start time of the vehicle, using the positions of the detection points stored in the memory.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums storing computer executable code for detecting and alerting of gases is provided. The method may include determining a parts per million of a specified gas. The method may also include comparing the determined parts per million to a pre-determined threshold. The method may include, when the parts per million meets or exceeds a threshold, generating a control signal. The method may also include transmitting the control signal to an alerting device to emit an alert to a user. The method may also include transmitting the control signal to a control device, wherein the control device performs a specified task.

There is provided a system for managing sharing of a straddle type vehicle, including a position locating unit provided on the straddle type vehicle and configured to locate a position of the straddle type vehicle, a position acquisition unit configured to acquire a position of a peripheral vehicle from the peripheral vehicle present around the straddle type vehicle, and a determination unit configured to determine a parking position at which the straddle type vehicle is parked based on the position of the straddle type vehicle located by the position locating unit and the position of the peripheral vehicle acquired by the position acquisition unit when the straddle type vehicle is parked.

A periphery monitoring device includes a coupling determiner that determines whether a towed vehicle is coupled to a towing vehicle to which the towed vehicle can be coupled; a target setter that sets a target moving position to be a target for moving at least the towed vehicle coupled to the towing vehicle; a storing controller that stores, as a moving target image, an image, including the target moving position, of a peripheral image generated by as imager provided at the towing vehicle; and an image controller that displays the stored moving target image in association with the towing vehicle or the towed vehicle included in a current image generated by the imager and currently displayed on a display device.
