A vehicle driving assistance apparatus predicts (i) a first consumed energy amount corresponding to a consumed energy amount consumed by a driving apparatus of an own vehicle when executing a first following control and (ii) a second consumed energy amount corresponding to the consumed energy amount consumed by the driving apparatus of the own vehicle when executing the second following control. The apparatus executes the second following control when the second consumed energy amount is smaller than the first consumed energy amount. On the other hand, the apparatus executes the first following control when the second consumed energy amount is equal to or greater than the first consumed energy amount.

A vehicle display control device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The vehicle display control device is configured such that the processor controls a vehicle display device for displaying an image on a display region so as to be superimposed on a portion of a view ahead of a vehicle. The processor is configured so as to detect a preceding vehicle traveling at a vehicle front side of a host vehicle, and in cases in which the preceding vehicle has been detected, causes an image that includes a plurality of inter-vehicle marker objects from the host vehicle side toward the preceding vehicle side to be displayed in the display region, and causes sequential emphasis display of the plurality of inter-vehicle marker objects in sequence from the host vehicle side toward the preceding vehicle side.

An engine-type industrial vehicle includes: an engine; a power transmission configured to transmit a driving force of the engine to a driving wheel; a controller configured to adjust the driving force; a travel direction determiner configured to determine a travel direction of the engine-type industrial vehicle; and an object detector configured to detect a position of an object in the travel direction of the engine-type industrial vehicle. The power transmission is switchable between a driving force transmission state and a driving force non-transmission state. The controller causes a state of the engine-type industrial vehicle to be in a travel start prohibition state, when the object detector detects the object and a detection direction of the object matches the travel direction, in a case where a vehicle speed of the engine-type industrial vehicle is equal to or less than a stop determination threshold.

A vehicle control device includes: a processor, the processor being configured to: acquire position information regarding a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of a host vehicle; and control a reaction force application mechanism based on a vehicle spacing in a vehicle width direction between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle, the reaction force application mechanism being configured to apply a reaction force to an accelerator pedal.

A vehicle control device includes: a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control a reaction force application mechanism, which applies reaction force to an accelerator pedal, based on a predetermined driving operation by a driver. In this way, not only is the reaction force application mechanism controlled on the basis of the inter-vehicle distance between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle, but also, the reaction force that is applied to the accelerator pedal is changed while taking a predetermined driving operation by the driver into consideration.

According to an embodiment, an information processing device includes a memory and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire a map defining a target in a coordinate space in which a direction along a traveling direction of a moving object is one of coordinate axes, and approximate a movement route of the moving object with a specified shape area along a coordinate axis in the coordinate space, the specified shape area being a basic unit of collision determination.

A method and an apparatus for controlling personal mobility device (PMD) depending on congestion includes identifying a target area according to an expected route of the PMD, acquiring a degree of congestion of the target area based on at least one of a type of objects, a movement of the objects, a distance between objects, the number of objects that is expected, and a speed limit of the target area, and controlling speed of the PMD according to the degree of congestion.

A worksite classification system and method for classifying persons at a worksite is disclosed. The worksite classification system can include a sensor system configured to capture images of persons located at the worksite. An electronic data processor communicatively coupled to the sensor system and comprising a computer readable storage medium having machine readable instructions that, when executed by the electronic data processor, cause the processor to: determine an identity of the persons based on one or more identifying characteristics associated with the persons; determine if the persons have authorization access to enter to one or more operational zones at the worksite based on the identity of the persons and an associated access level; and generate an alert notifying an operator when persons without authorization access enters the one or more operational zones.

A driving assistance control device includes an active pedal configured to control a driving and braking force of a vehicle, an electronic control unit configured to detect a potential risk area in which an obstacle entering a scheduled traveling route of the vehicle is likely to be present, and determine a reference speed at which contact between the vehicle and the obstacle can be avoided even when the obstacle enters the scheduled traveling route of the vehicle from the detected potential risk area based on a positional relationship between the vehicle and the potential risk area, and a force feedback unit configured to apply an assistance reaction force in a direction in which the amount of manipulation is reduced, to the active pedal when a current speed of the vehicle exceeds the reference speed.

A vehicle control device includes: a three-dimensional object detecting unit, an oncoming vehicle detecting unit, and an erroneous detection determination unit. The three-dimensional object detecting unit detects a three-dimensional object provided between a travel lane in which a host vehicle travels and an opposite lane in which an oncoming vehicle travels. The oncoming vehicle detecting unit detects the oncoming vehicle traveling in the opposite lane. The erroneous detection determination unit determine that the oncoming vehicle detected by the oncoming vehicle detecting unit has been erroneously detected when the oncoming vehicle detected by the oncoming vehicle detecting unit is present within a threshold range from the three-dimensional object detected by the three-dimensional object detecting unit.
