Abstract: A vehicle control system prevents an acceleration opposing a driver's intention even when the driver mistakenly depresses an accelerator pedal on a vehicle collision. When a collision of the vehicle is detected by an airbag system, a controller performs a brake assist control to increase a braking force of the vehicle and also performs a driving force reduction assist control to reduce a vehicle driving force to a lower value than normal based on an operation amount of the accelerator pedal. The driving force reduction assist control is continued if the accelerator pedal operation amount detected by the accelerator pedal becomes equal to or above a predetermined threshold during a time before the collision to a predetermined time after the collision and keeps equal to or above the threshold even after the brake assist control is released after the vehicle comes to a stop.

Abstract: A collision detecting structure includes a pressure generating tube extending in a vehicle width direction, a rear wall portion disposed on a rear side of the pressure generating tube, a tube compressing portion disposed frontward of the pressure generating tube and including an projecting wall portion that is in a plate-like shape and extends in a vehicle front-rear direction; and a tube retaining member disposed opposite to the projecting wall portion and retaining the pressure generating tube between the projecting wall portion and the tube retaining portion.

Abstract: Provided is an energy absorption member including a plate shaped rear wall portion which extends in a vehicle width direction; and an extension wall portion that extends in the vehicle width direction and extends forward from an intermediate part in a height direction of the rear wall portion; wherein the rear wall portion takes on an arch shape that projects forward in a plan view, and the extension wall portion is inclined downward or upward from its rear end part toward its front end part.

Abstract: A sensor attachment structure includes an energy absorption member, a sensor attachment portion provided to the energy absorption member and configured to attach a sensor case that houses a pressure sensor, and a cover that defines a space to house the sensor case between the cover and the sensor attachment portion. The sensor case is attached to the sensor attachment portion by locking. At least one of the sensor case, the sensor attachment portion, and the cover includes a fall preventing structure that prevents the sensor case from falling off an opening formed by the sensor attachment portion and the cover.

Abstract: A surroundings monitoring device (100) includes an object detection unit (110) which is mounted in a structure and detects objects around the structure, a first sensor (120) for determining whether an object has collided with the structure, and a first controller (140) which determines whether the object has collided with the structure on the basis of the detection result of the first sensor and restrains the operation of the object detection unit or causes an information output unit to output predetermined information in a case that it is determined that the object has collided with the structure.

Abstract: According to the invention, a malfunction due to catch of a foreign matter in a variable valve timing mechanism is prevented. In an internal combustion engine including a variable valve timing mechanism, when feedback control of an actuator is conducted so that an actual cam phase corresponds to a target cam phase calculated depending on an engine operation condition, if the target cam phase changes by a change in the engine operating condition, the actuator is controlled with a predetermined control value different from the feedback control only for a predetermined time thereafter.
