Traveling control apparatus

A traveling control apparatus performs a target-following control process on a target to be followed detected by a target detecting unit. Further, the traveling control apparatus calculates a probability that the target to be followed is within an own lane, and determines whether a degree of recognition by the target detecting unit of the target to be followed is in a weakly recognized state where the degree of recognition is weaker than a predetermined degree. The apparatus sets a reliability of the target to be followed on the basis of the probability calculated by a probability calculating process and a determination result by a determining process, and controls acceleration of an own vehicle so that a jerk which is a differential value of the acceleration becomes smaller as the reliability of the target to be followed is lower while the target-following control process is performed.

EMERGENCY BRAKING CONTROL CIRCUIT BASED ON COUPLER COUPLING DETECTION

An emergency braking control circuit based on coupler coupling detection includes a coupler status detection circuit and a coupler status relay that are connected in series with a train power loop. A normally open contact of the coupler status relay is connected to an emergency braking train line in a cross-parallel manner. When a coupler is coupled normally, inductive proximity sensors located at a knuckle and a central pivot are closed to drive the coupler status relay, and the normally open contact of the coupler status relay is connected in a cross-parallel manner to ensure that a corresponding node of the emergency braking loop is closed. In case of abnormal coupling or accidental uncoupling of couplers, the inductive proximity sensors of the couplers of two adjacent cars are disconnected simultaneously, the coupler status relays of the two cars are powered off, and emergency braking is applied.
