  • Patent number: 10625734
    Abstract: An automatic driving system for an automatically driven vehicle. In the system, a travel direction acquirer is configured to acquire travel direction information that is information indicative of whether or not each of lanes in a parking lot is unidirectional. In addition, in the system, an allowance determination unit is configured to, if determining, based on the travel direction information acquired by the travel direction acquirer, that each of the lanes in the parking lot is unidirectional, allow automatic driving of the automatically driven vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10504370
    Abstract: In a collision avoidance apparatus (1), a first information acquisition unit (7) generates first information that includes the position, speed and advancement direction of a first mobile body, and obtains first information from a first information transmitting unit (1) having a transmitting function. A second information acquisition unit (9) obtains second information that includes the position, speed and advancement direction of a second mobile body. A first mobile body prediction unit (11) predicts positions (P1) of the first mobile body at future time points T, based on the first information, and a second mobile body prediction unit (13) predicts the positions (P2) of the second mobile body at the time points T, based on the second information.

  • Publication number: 20170151960
    Abstract: A retreat traveling assist apparatus is provided with a state detecting module, a traveling command module, and a body command module. The state detecting module detects a state in which a driver of the vehicle cannot drive the vehicle properly (hereinafter referred to as driving-impossible state). The traveling command module activates a retreat travelling deceleration control to stop the vehicle in a refuge place surrounding the vehicle, when the state detecting module detects the driving-impossible state. The body command module activates a pretensioner control to tighten a seatbelt of a driver's seat in the vehicle, in response to an activation of the retreat traveling deceleration control activated by the traveling command module.
