  • Patent number: 11718226
    Abstract: In a vehicle control system, a risk frequency calculation unit counts the number of times that a risk level determination unit determines that a risk level is equal to or higher than a predetermined risk level within a predetermined period. Then, a warning frequency setting unit sets a frequency of warning in accordance with the number of times, counted by the risk frequency calculation unit, that the risk level of the driving operation by the driver is determined to be equal to or higher than the predetermined risk level within the predetermined period and activates a warning device.

  • Patent number: 11654930
    Abstract: A display control device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a browsing history including a record indicating that vehicle driving information corresponding to each of a plurality of display elements was displayed on the display unit of each of the driver of a vehicle and a manager who manages the driver, an identification unit configured to identify a specific element from among the display elements based on the difference between the number of browses by the driver and the number of browses by the manager that are recorded in the browsing history acquired by the acquisition unit, and a display control unit configured to cause the display unit of at least one of the driver and the manager to display the specific element with the display form of the specific element, identified by the identification unit, made different from the display form of the other display elements.

  • Publication number: 20220289215
    Abstract: A driving diagnosis device acquires at least one of vehicle information regarding a vehicle state and driving information regarding a driving state of the driver, and measures the number of times each of conditions of preset evaluation items related to driving is met, based on the acquired vehicle information and the acquired driving information. Then, the driving diagnosis device outputs warning information when the number of measurement times of the evaluation items reaches a predetermined warning number corresponding to the one of the evaluation items. Further, the driving diagnosis device performs advance notification to the driver when a predetermined notification condition is satisfied before the number of measurement times reaches the warning number.

  • Patent number: 11021028
    Abstract: At least one underfill part is formed so that a central axis of the arm component coincides with a load line of the arm component. The central axis of the configuration is a line connecting centroids of cross-sectional shapes with one another in an axial direction of the arm component, the cross-sectional shapes being shapes on cross-sectional planes perpendicular to an axis of the arm component. The load line of the arm component is a line on which a load is imposed in the arm component.

  • Publication number: 20190248199
    Abstract: A suspension arm includes a rod-like arm part, and a cylindrical collar part integrally formed with the arm part at an end of the arm part. A hollow part with a hollow formed inside thereof is formed along an axial direction of the arm part in the arm part. A communicating hole communicating between a space inside the collar part and the hollow part is formed in a connecting part of the collar part, the connecting part of the collar part connecting with the end of the arm part. The communicating hole is formed so as to be centered on a central axis of the arm part, the central axis of the arm part being a line connecting centroids of cross-sectional shapes with one another in the axial direction of the arm part, the cross-sectional shapes being shapes on cross-sectional planes perpendicular to an axis of the arm part.
