VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS, VEHICLE-MOUNTED DEVICE, VEHICLE, AND MEDIUM
The invention relates to the field of vehicle technologies, and aims to solve a technical problem that when light control for avoidance of a vehicle is improper, traveling safety of the present vehicle, traveling safety of vehicles ahead for which light is controlled for avoidance, and/or safety, walking experience, etc. of the pedestrians for whom light is controlled for avoidance are/is affected to some degree. To solve the technical problem, embodiments of the invention provide a vehicle control method and apparatus, a control apparatus, a vehicle-mounted device, a vehicle, and a computer-readable storage medium. The control method includes: detecting target objects in front of a vehicle; determining whether the target objects are on a traveling path of the vehicle; and performing light control for avoidance for the target objects based on a determination result in a predetermined manner. With this setting, a strategy of light control for avoidance for a target object can be made by learning a traveling path of the target object, such that impact on traveling safety of the present vehicle, traveling safety of vehicles ahead for which light is controlled for avoidance, and/or safety, walking experience, etc. of the pedestrians for whom light is controlled for avoidance are/is kept as little as possible.
AUTOMATED VALET PARKING SERVER, AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE, AUTOMATED VALET PARKING SYSTEM
There is provided an automated valet parking server that causes an autonomous driving vehicle in a parking place to perform automated valet parking by instructing the autonomous driving vehicle. The automated valet parking server includes an illuminance information acquisition unit configured to acquire illuminance information of front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle, an illuminance suppression point setting unit configured to set an illuminance suppression point which is a position in the parking place at which illuminance of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle is suppressed based on parking place map information of the parking place and the illuminance information of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle, and an illuminance suppression instruction unit configured to instruct the autonomous driving vehicle to perform illuminance suppression at the illuminance suppression point.
ENHANCED MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRICAL RESOURCES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Devices, systems, and methods for management of electrical resources for electric vehicles. A method may include receiving, by a vehicle, sensor data indicative of a first luminosity of a location, and determining that the first luminosity of the location exceeds a luminosity threshold. The method may include determining, based on the first luminosity exceeding the luminosity threshold, a second luminosity to apply to lights of the vehicle while the vehicle is at the location, the second luminosity greater than zero. The method may include applying the second luminosity to the lights while the vehicle is at the location.
Lighting system of an automotive vehicle having high and low resolution pixelated beams
The present invention relates to a lighting system for a motor vehicle. The lighting system comprises at least one first light emitting device mounted on a front right side of the vehicle and adapted to project in front of the vehicle a first pixelated light beam. The lighting system further comprises at least one second light emitting device mounted on a front left side of the vehicle and adapted to project in front of the vehicle a second pixelated light beam. One of the first pixelated light beam and second pixelated light beam, called high resolution beam, has a number of pixels greater than or equal to at least five times, in particular greater than or equal to at least ten times, the number of pixels of the other of said pixelated light beams, called low resolution beam.
System for controlling headlamp beam of a vehicle and a method thereof
The present disclosure described herein, in general, relates to a system 500 for controlling headlamps of a vehicle. The system 500 may comprise a signal processing unit 509, a relay circuit 401, a switch 302 and a user device 407. The user device 407 comprises a GPS tracker 408-A, an output unit 409, a processor 408-B and a memory 408-C. The system comprises comparing one or more parameters with the predefined threshold value, notifying information based upon the one or more parameters, instructing the user to change the status of the headlamp using the switch 302 based upon the comparison of the one or more parameters with the predefined threshold value and controlling the status of the headlamps upon receiving command by the user based upon the instructions or automatically operating the relay circuit 401 based upon the received signals.
Vehicle-mounted equipment control device
A vehicle-mounted equipment control device includes a controller configured to cause equipment of any of a headlight, a wiper, and an air-conditioning device to continue a visual securing operation for securing visibility of a driver of a vehicle even after driving control of the vehicle is switched from automated driving control to manual driving control regardless of an operation mode of the equipment specified by an operation switch for setting an operation of the equipment when an operation mode executed by the equipment immediately before driving control of the vehicle is switched from automated driving control to manual driving control is an operation mode corresponding to the visual securing operation.
Method and System for Simulating Propagation of a Composite Electromagnetic Beam
A system for simulation of a composite beam is disclosed. The system can comprise a memory storing executable instructions and one or more processors coupled to the memory to execute the executable instructions. The one or more processors can be configured to generate a representation of the original beam pattern transmitted via a propagation of the composite beam, to invoke a propagation model that represents a distortion for the propagation of the composite beam, and to determine a representation of a distorted beam pattern based on the propagation model and on the representation of the original beam pattern transmitted via the propagation.
VEHICULAR VISION SYSTEM WITH CONSTRUCTION ZONE RECOGNITION
A vehicular vision system includes an image processor and a camera that views through the windshield of the vehicle. The camera captures image data as the vehicle travels along a road, and the image processor processes image data captured by the camera. The vehicular vision system, responsive at least in part to processing by the image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines when the vehicle is at a construction zone. Responsive to determining that the vehicle is at the construction zone, the vehicular vision system adjusts a vehicular driver assistance system of the vehicle. The vehicular vision system determines that the vehicle exits the construction zone based at least in part on processing by the image processor of image data captured by the camera.
