Lane change assist apparatus for vehicle
A driving support Electronic Control Unit (ECU) initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of Lane Change Assist Control (LCA), calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; and calculates a target control amount according to the target trajectory function. When it is determined that the own vehicle has crossed a boundary white line, the driving support ECU again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter, and calculate the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.
STEERING WHEEL
A steering wheel includes a steering wheel body, an airbag module, and a damper unit-4 that connects the steering wheel body and the airbag module-3. The airbag module is mounted to the steering wheel body via the damper unit facing in a Z-axis first direction that is an example of a first direction. The damper unit-4 is configured to apply a force on the airbag module in a state where the airbag module is mounted on the steering wheel body in a direction of pushing up the airbag module in a direction that intersects with the Z-axis first direction.
STEERING WHEEL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
A vehicle steering wheel device, including a center portion of a steering wheel, a steering wheel cover that covers the center portion on the dashboard side, the side opposite the driver, an electronic control unit stowed in an internal area between the steering wheel cover and the center portion, an opening section where a part of the steering wheel cover is open in a window shape, a lid detachably provided on the steering wheel cover that closes the opening section, and a harness provided in the internal space that connects to the electronic control unit and supplies power from the vehicle body side, where the electronic control unit is provided secured to the lid, and the lid is connected to the vehicle body side by the harness connected to the electronic control unit.
Three-dimensional display system, optical element, installation method, control method, and moving body
A three-dimensional display system includes a display panel, an optical element and a controller. The display panel includes an active area configured to display a parallax image. The optical element defines a light beam direction of the parallax image. The controller is configured to vary the parallax image based on positions of first and second eyes of the user. The optical element includes a plurality of optical means which are arranged in a parallax direction. The plurality of optical means extend along an inclination direction inclined to a reference direction with respect to a direction perpendicular to the parallax direction. The reference direction is defined, at least in a standard state, based on at least one of a position of the user in the parallax direction in an interior of the moving body and a position relative to the user of a predetermined facility mounted within the moving body.
LANE CHANGE ASSIST APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
A driving support ECU initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of LCA; calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position which is a target position of an own vehicle in a lane width direction in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; calculates a target control amount based on the target trajectory function; when a steering operation by a driver has been detected, again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter; and recalculates the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.
MOTOR VEHICLE HAND CONTROL FOR DIFFERENTLY ABLED INDIVIDUALS
A disclosed vehicle control system provides control over complex vehicle functions including transmission shifting to enable differently abled drivers to operate a motor vehicle.
EMERGENCY STEERING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
An emergency steering system for a vehicle, may include a planetary gear mounted in an inlet space of a gear box for a steering apparatus so that the planetary gear is ordinarily operated at a gear ratio of 1:1 and has an increased gear ratio in the event of failure of a main steering device; and a gear ratio increasing device mounted to an upper plate portion of the gear box to increase the gear ratio of the planetary gear.
LANE CHANGE ASSIST APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
A diving support Electronic Control Unit (ECU) initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of Lane Change Assist Control (LCA), calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; and calculates a target control amount according to the target trajectory function. When it is determined that the own vehicle has crossed a boundary white line, the diving support ECU again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter, and calculate the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.
Lane departure avoidance system
A lane departure avoidance system disables start of steering control or terminate running steering control upon determination that a value of a at least one selected variation, which is selected from a first variation, a second variation, a third variation, and a fourth variation, is equal to or more than a corresponding threshold. The first variation is a variation of a lateral position of an own vehicle relative to lane marking lines recognized by a recognition unit, and the second variation is a variation of a yaw angle of the own vehicle relative to the recognized lane marking lines. The third variation is a variation of a curvature of the recognized lane marking lines, and the fourth variation is a variation of a pitch angle of the own vehicle.
