Electromagnetic noise analyzing apparatus, controlling apparatus and controlling method
Provided is an electromagnetic noise analyzing apparatus, a controlling apparatus, and a controlling method in each of which the continuous change of the running state of a vehicle or a railway vehicle is considered. The controlling apparatus includes: a vehicle running control section which outputs, on the basis of operation information of a vehicle, a vehicle driving parameter as a driving state of the vehicle; a signal converting section which converts the vehicle driving parameter into a noise parameter as an electric parameter; and an electromagnetic noise analyzing section which calculates, on the basis of the noise parameter, the amount of electromagnetic noise propagating in the vehicle.
VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING THE SAME
A vehicle includes: a communication unit performing communication with a remote control device and receiving an instruction signal for remotely controlling a driving operation of the vehicle from the remote control device; a position acquiring unit detecting a position of the remote control device when the communication unit receives the instruction signal from the remote control device; and a controller restricting the remote control of the driving operation of the vehicle based on the detected position of the remote control device.
OBJECT DETECTION DEVICE, OBJECT DETECTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM
The purpose of the present invention is to improve the speed of processing related to the presence of objects, while maintaining measurement accuracy of object detection, in an object detection device. This object detection device is provided with: an output unit; a plurality of detection units; a first data generation unit; a second data generation unit; and an information processing unit. The output unit outputs measurement light. The plurality of detection units detect reflected light. The first data generation unit generates first data. The second data generation unit generates second data by extracting, from the first data, a plurality of pieces of second position information, which are pieces of first position information that correspond to representative points expressing the presence ranges of objects. The information processing unit uses the second data to execute information processing related to the presence of the objects.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY MONITORING SOIL SURFACE ROUGHNESS
A method for automatically monitoring soil surface roughness as a ground-engaging operation is being performed within a field may include receiving pre-operation surface roughness data associated with a given portion of the field and receiving post-operation surface roughness data associated with the given portion of the field. In addition, the method may include analyzing the pre-operation and post-operation surface roughness data to determine a surface roughness differential associated with the performance of the ground-engaging operation and actively adjusting the operation of at least one of an associated work vehicle and/or implement when the surface roughness differential differs from a target set for the surface roughness differential.
REAR CARGO REMINDER SYSTEM
A vehicle rear cargo reminder system having a front door sensor, a rear door sensor, an alerting device and a controller. The front door sensor being configured to detect opening movement and closing movement of a front door. The rear door sensor configured to detect opening movement and closing movement of a rear door. The alerting device is configured to provide an alarm signal. The controller detects a sequence of events via the front door sensor and the rear door sensor. The controller determines whether or not an object might be located beside or on the rear seat of the passenger compartment, and operates the alerting device to provide the alarm signal to the vehicle operator in the absence of detection of conditions of an ignition switch of the vehicle.
ELECTROMAGNETIC NOISE ANALYZING APPARATUS, CONTROLLING APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD
Provided is an electromagnetic noise analyzing apparatus, a controlling apparatus, and a controlling method in each of which the continuous change of the running state of a vehicle or a railway vehicle is considered. The controlling apparatus includes: a vehicle running control section which outputs, on the basis of operation information of a vehicle, a vehicle driving parameter as a driving state of the vehicle; a signal converting section which converts the vehicle driving parameter into a noise parameter as an electric parameter; and an electromagnetic noise analyzing section which calculates, on the basis of the noise parameter, the amount of electromagnetic noise propagating in the vehicle.
VEHICLE OVERTAKING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
A vehicle overtaking control system includes a traveling information detection means configured to provide traveling route information and road edge information of a traveling route of an own vehicle, detect a preceding vehicle and a trailing vehicle traveling in front and to a side-rear of the own vehicle, and detect a speed and distance to the own vehicle, and an overtaking control means configured to receive the traveling route information to determine whether the own vehicle is traveling on the highway and whether the own vehicle is traveling in an overtaking lane from the road edge information of the traveling route, and when the own vehicle is not traveling in the overtaking lane, perform control of limiting overtaking of the own vehicle with respect to the preceding and trailing vehicles based on the detected speeds and distances of the preceding vehicle and the trailing vehicle traveling in the overtaking lane.
Differential transfer case torque sensor apparatus and method
A magnetic torque sensing device having a torque transferring member with a magnetoelastically active region. The magnetoelastically active region has oppositely polarized magnetically conditioned regions with initial directions of magnetization that are perpendicular to the sensitive directions of magnetic field sensor pairs placed proximate to the magnetically active region. Magnetic field sensors are specially positioned in relation to the torque-transferring member to accurately measure torque while providing improved RSU performance and reducing the detrimental effects of compassing. The torque sensing devices are incorporated on vehicle drive train components, including differential components, transfer case components, transmission components, and others, including on power transmission shafts, half-shafts, and wheels, and output signals representing characteristics of the vehicle are processed in algorithms to provide useful output information for controlling actions of the vehicle.
COMMUNICATION DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR ACTIVE CONTROL OF EXTERNAL VEHICLE COMPONENTS
The present disclosure includes a system, method, and device related to data collection and communication related to after-market and external vehicle systems, such as towing systems, cargo carrying systems, trailer breakaway systems, brake systems, braking control systems, and the like. Data is sensed, processed, shared, and further leveraged throughout the discrete components of the system, and possibly via internet and other communications' links, to effect various beneficial actions with minimal driver/user interaction or intervention. In the same manner, data from the system may be used for diagnostic reasons, safety controls, and other purposes.
COMBINED SENSORS FOR MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO A DRIVER
A system that identifies road conditions associated with a road surface is provided. The system includes a first sensor recording a first motion amount related to a head of a rider and at least a second sensor recording at least a second motion amount of a portion of a vehicle.
