  • Patent number: 11927959
    Abstract: An autonomous driving vehicle provides a driverless transportation service for a user. An alarming phenomenon is a natural phenomenon that potentially causes a disaster. The autonomous driving vehicle recognizes, based on driving environment information, the alarming phenomenon at a current location of the autonomous driving vehicle or on a planned travel route from the current location to a destination. When recognizing the alarming phenomenon, the autonomous driving vehicle determines whether to continue or halt vehicle travel control in accordance with a current travel plan. When determining to halt the vehicle travel control in accordance with the current travel plan, the autonomous driving vehicle sets an emergency plan depending on a type of the alarming phenomenon and controls the autonomous driving vehicle in accordance with the emergency plan.

  • Patent number: 9715949
    Abstract: The radiation monitor includes: a shutter; a calculation section; an AC solenoid; a temperature switch which is attached to the AC solenoid; a circuit protector which has a contact and is connected in series to the AC solenoid; and a mode selection switch connected in series to the AC solenoid. The shutter is maintained in a closed state when the mode selection switch is set to a normal mode; the mode selection switch is changed from the normal mode to a check radiation source mode, thereby flowing an AC current through the AC solenoid to change the shutter from the closed state to an opened state; and the contact of the temperature switch is reversed from the opened state to the closed state, thereby disconnecting the contact of the circuit protector to interrupt the AC current that flows through the AC solenoid.

  • Patent number: 9651681
    Abstract: A radiation monitor includes an AC control section and a DC control section. The AC control section outputs an AC power source instantaneous power failure detection signal to the DC control section when a decrease in AC voltage is detected. The DC control section measures a duration time of an AC power source instantaneous power failure detection signal when the AC power source instantaneous power failure detection signal is received from the AC control section and outputs an instantaneous power failure restart signal to the AC control section if the AC voltage is restored within a time shorter than a set value. The AC control section performs switching control from close to open of the sampling solenoid valve, the purge solenoid valve, and the exhaust solenoid valve, and restarts the pump after a constant time when the instantaneous power failure restart signal is received from the DC control section.
