  • Patent number: 10132637
    Abstract: A vehicular information provision system for providing information to at least one of the inside and outside of a traveling vehicle includes a server configured to associate output data outputted from the vehicle with event identification information for identifying a predetermined event depending on a position on a map and hold the associated output data and event identification information, an on-board unit which is to be mounted on the vehicle and configured to specify a vehicle position based on positioning information acquired by a satellite-positioning system and pre-acquired map information and output the event identification information correlating with the specified vehicle position, and an information provision apparatus which is to be mounted on the vehicle and configured to acquire the output data correlating with the event identification information acquired from the on-board unit from the server and cause the output data to be outputted from an output unit.

  • Patent number: 10089864
    Abstract: There is provided an operating management system including: on-board units (100) that are each mounted on a plurality of vehicles (1a, 1b, . . . ) and are configured to be capable of acquiring travel information which includes positional information of the vehicles (1a, 1b, . . . ); and an operating management apparatus (600) that includes a travel-information acquisition unit which acquires the travel information from the on-board units (100) of the plurality of vehicles (1a, 1b, . . . ) and an evaluation unit which evaluates driving of the vehicles (1a, 1b, . . . ), based on relative operating states, for the plurality of vehicles (1a, 1b, . . . ) specified based on the travel information.

  • Patent number: 8818654
    Abstract: Engine output control apparatus has shift range detecting section detecting shift range of automatic transmission; vehicle speed detecting section detecting vehicle speed; engine output state detecting section detecting engine output state; and controller. The controller performs (a) judgment control judging that torque converter is in a stall state if following judgment conditions (i) to (iii) are satisfied, (i) shift range is drive range, (ii) vehicle speed is equal to or less than predetermined vehicle speed, (iii) engine is in a high output state, (b) cumulation control cumulating a period of agreement of the judgment conditions if the judgment conditions are satisfied, and (c) output suppression control suppressing output of the engine if a control start condition is satisfied by cumulation of the agreement period. The control start condition is set so that as the vehicle speed becomes higher, start of the output suppression control is more delayed.
