A vehicle includes: a camera obtaining an external view of the vehicle and acquiring illuminance data; a radar detecting a target object located outside the vehicle and acquiring radar data; and a controller including at least one processor for processing the illuminance data acquired by the camera and the radar data acquired by the radar.

A slope-descending speed control device 10 for a vehicle configured to control a vehicle deceleration so that an actual vehicle speed conforms to a target vehicle speed in accordance with a target deceleration Gxbt of a PID feedback control executed in accordance with a difference between a target vehicle speed Vxt and an actual vehicle speed Vx. In a situation where an actual vehicle speed is higher than a target vehicle speed, with a component in a hill-descending direction of gravitational acceleration of the vehicle at a time point when a condition for starting a slope-descending speed control is satisfied being a reference gravitational acceleration Gxd0, when a difference between a component Gxd in a hill-descending direction of gravitational acceleration and the reference gravitational acceleration Gxd0 is between upper and lower reference values, a target deceleration Gxbti of the integral term is not integrated to restrain its increase.

A vehicle periphery monitoring device comprises: an in-region object detecting unit which detects an in-region object present in contact determination regions on the basis of a photographic image from a camera per prescribed control cycle; and a warning control unit which performs warning control processing to give warning of a detected in-region object when an in-region object was not detected in the last control cycle, but the in-region object was detected in the present control cycle, and to restrain warning of a new in-region object when an in-region object was detected in the last control cycle and the new in-region object different from the in-region object detected in the last control cycle has been detected in the present control cycle.

A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, activating hazard lights of an electrified vehicle in response to a high voltage battery disconnect event.

A brake booster for a braking system of a vehicle including: a valve body to which a booster force is transmittable, a reaction disk, and an output rod, situated on the reaction disk in such a way that the booster force is at least partially transmittable to the output rod via the reaction disk so that the output rod is displaceable in the braking direction, the output rod being pressable counter to the braking direction due to a counter force of a master brake cylinder of the braking system, and the valve body and/or the output rod being formed in such a way that a relative movement of the output rod, aligned counter to the braking direction with respect to the valve body, is limited by an impact of at least one first contact surface of the output rod on at least one second contact surface of the valve body.

Provided is a technology capable of supporting an operation of a car by a driver when an alarm sound notifying the approach of a train is sounding at a railroad crossing. The alarm sound processing apparatus includes: an observed sound sensor that generates an observed sound signal from an observed sound or vibration related to the observed sound; an alarm sound detection unit that generates an alarm sound detection result indicating whether the observed sound contains an alarm sound at a railroad crossing from the observed sound signal; and an alarm sound reaction unit that executes processing for issuing a warning to notify a driver that a train is approaching the railroad crossing and/or executes processing for applying a brake to a car driven by the driver when the alarm sound detection result indicates that the alarm sound is contained.
