Abstract: If a distance from a current position to a guide point is less than a predetermined distance, a normal output process and a stop process of a guide image are repeatedly performed. If a priority display request for a guide image is performed, a priority output process of the guide image is performed prior to the stop process. If an interval between the priority output process and the normal output process performed after the priority output process is short, the priority output process continues until the normal output process starts.

Abstract: A HUD device mounted on a helmet includes a projection module configured to project display light for displaying a display image capable of being visually recognized as a virtual image. The projection module includes a light emitter configured to emit display light and a concave mirror configured to reflect display light emitted by the light emitter toward a combiner. The light emitter and the concave mirror are incorporated separately in the left and right sides of a chin portion of a helmet. The light emitter includes a first portion including an LED and a second portion including a display element. The first portion extends from a lower side of the second portion toward the concave mirror.

Abstract: In an HUD device (3) mounted on a helmet (101), a projection unit (39) configured to project display light to a combiner (73) includes a light emitter (57) configured to emit display light, a housing (61) having a projection opening (63) through which display light emitted from the light emitter passes, and a cover member (65) having transparency to light and disposed to cover the projection opening. The projection unit (39) is incorporated in a chin portion (113) of the helmet body such that display light to be projected to the combiner passes through an optical path portion (119) provided in a mouse cover (115) of the helmet body (105). The cover member is disposed at an inner side of an interior member than a surface of the interior member at which an end of the optical path portion at a light emission side is open.

Abstract: In a helmet including a battery and a helmet body whose outer surface is constituted by a shell, a charging connector is disposed inside the shell to face inward of the shell, and the charging connector is configured to be connected to a power supply-side connector connected to a power supply through a power supply-side cable during charging of the battery.

Abstract: A lane departure prevention system is provided with a lane departure tendency detection section, a yaw moment calculating section and a yaw moment control section. The lane departure tendency detection section detects a degree of a lane departure tendency of a host vehicle exhibiting a tendency of departing from its driving lane. The yaw moment calculating section calculates a base yaw moment to be applied to the host vehicle based on the degree of the lane departure tendency. The yaw moment control section applies the base yaw moment calculated by the yaw moment calculating section to the host vehicle when the base yaw moment is equal to or larger than a first prescribed minimum yaw moment, which is greater than zero, and applies the first prescribed minimum yaw moment to the host vehicle if the base yaw moment is smaller than the first prescribed minimum yaw moment.

Abstract: When an obstacle is sensed on a side of a vehicle, the future position of the vehicle after a prescribed time is predicted. When the predicted vehicle future position reaches a prescribed lateral position in the lane width direction, a decision to start a control is made, and the vehicle is controlled in a direction to prevent it from coming too close to the obstacle. If a state occurs in which the obstacle is sensed after not being sensed (i.e., it is first sensed), a decision to start the control is suppressed.

Abstract: A front end of a left member having a first plate thickness, and a left end of a lateral member having a third plate thickness are welded together while defining a first weld line, and a front end of a right member having a second plate thickness and a right end of the lateral member are welded together while defining a second weld line. The first plate thickness and the second plate thickness are thinner than the third plate thickness, and a support bracket that supports an auxiliary equipment is fitted to the lateral member. The first weld line and the second weld line are respectively positioned outer side of the vehicle body with respect to a fitted position of the support bracket, so as not to overlap on the fitted position in the lateral member where the support bracket is fitted to the lateral member.

Abstract: When an obstacle on either of the two sides of a vehicle is detected, the future position of the vehicle after a prescribed time is predicted. When the future predicted vehicle position reaches a prescribed lateral position in the width direction of the lane, control start is determined such that obstacle avoiding control is carried out to prevent the approach of the vehicle to the obstacle. When an intention of the driver to enter the lane of the obstacle is detected, the start timing for obstacle avoiding control is shortened.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of controllers and methods of control to enable prevention of departure of vehicle even when the degree of the tendency of the vehicle to depart from the travel lane is low. One such controller comprises a lane departure tendency determining device configured to determine a departure tendency of the vehicle to depart from a travel lane, a yaw moment computing device configured to compute a reference yaw moment based on the departure tendency, a yaw moment correction device configured to compute a target yaw moment based on at least the reference yaw moment and a controller configured to apply the target yaw moment to the vehicle. When the reference yaw moment is lower than a prescribed threshold, the yaw moment correction device gradually increases the target yaw moment over time until the target yaw moment is greater than the prescribed threshold.
