VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
A vehicle and a method for performing collision avoidance when a parked vehicle exits while driving in parallel with another vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes a capturer that detects a parking line in which the vehicle is parked and a sensor that detects an obstacle on at least one of a front and rear side of the vehicle and detects a target vehicle approaching from a rear lateral side of the vehicle. A controller determines a driving type of the vehicle based on the parking line information, the obstacle information, and the target vehicle information to determine a risk of collision region of the vehicle based on the driving type. The controller determines an expected collision region between the vehicles within the risk of collision region based on driving information of the vehicles to change the driving control amount of the vehicle according to the expected collision region.
VEHICULAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM USING BACKUP CAMERA
A vehicular parking assist system includes a rear backup camera and a control having an image processor that processes image data captured by the rear backup camera. The control, as the vehicle is driven forward into a parking slot and reliant on processing of image data by the rear backup camera, determines a parking slot marker at a side boundary of the parking slot at which the vehicle is being parked and determines orientation of the vehicle relative to the determined parking slot marker. As the vehicle is driven forward into the parking slot, and reliant on processing by the processor of image data captured by the rear backup camera, a display screen in the vehicle displays information representative of the determined orientation of the vehicle relative to the parking slot marker so the driver can gauge orientation of the vehicle in the parking slot.
PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS, PARKING ASSIST METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
A parking assist apparatus includes a one-way traffic determiner that determines whether or not a vehicle is located on a one-way road, and a parking processor that, when it is determined that the vehicle is located on the one-way road case, does not perform a vehicle control for parallel parking including a path through which the vehicle reverses.
REARVIEW DEVICE AND VEHICLE WITH SUCH REARVIEW DEVICE
An external rearview device for a motor vehicle includes a housing, and one or more of at least one light emitting or a receiving device, including one or more of at least one light producing device or at least one camera device arranged within the housing, and at least one at least partially transparent element closing an opening provided by the housing, the at least partially transparent element being provided in form of a first module attached to the housing, and the one or more of the light producing device or the camera device being provided in form of a second module attached to the first module, the first module and the second module being mechanically releaseably coupled.
Mobile device interface for trailer backup-assist
Method and apparatus are disclosed for mobile device interface for trailer backup-assist. An example vehicle system includes a vehicle and a mobile device. The mobile device includes a touchscreen, a communication module, and a controller. The controller is to present, via the touchscreen, an interface for trailer backup-assist and detect a swipe when the interface is presented. The controller also is to instruct, via the communication module, the vehicle to move in a direction corresponding to the swipe and continue to instruct the vehicle to move in the direction while detecting a continuous orbital motion extending from the swipe.
Vehicle remote parking systems and methods
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for determining a distance between a vehicle and a computing device during a remote parking operation. An example method includes receiving, by a computing device, a 3D model of a vehicle and vehicle inertial data. The method also includes capturing an image of the vehicle. The method further includes determining a distance between the computing device and the vehicle based on the image and the 3D model, and updating the distance based on the vehicle inertial data.
DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM HAVING REAR-VIEW CAMERA AND CROSS-TRAFFIC SENSOR SYSTEM WITH SIMULTANEOUS VIEW
A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes a rear-view camera constructed and arranged to obtain an image of an area behind a rear of the vehicle. A non-camera sensor system is constructed and arranged to obtain data regarding dynamic or static environmental features at opposing sides of the vehicle. An electronic control unit is electrically connected with the rear-view camera and with the sensor system. The electronic control unit is constructed and arranged to create an image from the data received from the sensor system. A display system is controlled by the electronic control unit and is constructed and arranged to display simultaneously to a driver of the vehicle at a single location, the image obtained by the rear-view camera and the image created by the electronic control system.
Vehicle behavior using information from other vehicles lights
A method for controlling an operating vehicle includes: (a) determining, via a controller, a confidence level that the light of the other vehicle is ON based on images captured by a camera of the operating vehicle; and (b) controlling, via the controller, an alarm of the operating vehicle based on the confidence level that the light of the other vehicle is ON.
OBSTACLE DETECTING AND NOTIFYING DEVICE, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
An obstacle detecting and notifying device according to an embodiment is to be installed in a vehicle, to issue an alarm upon detecting a moving obstacle. The device includes a moving-obstacle detector that detects a moving obstacle in a given monitoring area; a first calculator that calculates an expected moving route of the moving obstacle; a second calculator that calculates an expected moving route of the vehicle; a setter that sets an alarm area in the monitoring area in accordance with the expected moving route of the vehicle, the alarm area in which the alarm is to be issued; an excluder that excludes, from alarming moving obstacles, the moving obstacle unlikely to reach the alarm area, in accordance with the expected moving route of the moving obstacle and the expected moving route of the vehicle; and an alarm that issues an alarm against the alarming moving obstacles.
Working vehicle
A working vehicle includes a vehicle main body to which a tire is mounted, an excavation member coupled to the vehicle main body on a front side of the vehicle main body and that includes an end part arranged on an outer side of the tire in a vehicle-width direction of the vehicle main body, a hydraulic cylinder arranged at a center part in the vehicle-width direction and that is to move the excavation member, a housing that houses a power transmission mechanism to transmit power to the tire, and a camera supported by a part of the vehicle main body on a lower side of the hydraulic cylinder and on an upper side of the housing and that acquires an image of a region that includes end parts on both sides of the excavation member and that is between the excavation member and the tire.
