  • Publication number: 20220163341
    Abstract: A user is notified of a recommendation lane as appropriate. A navigation system includes one or more processors, and one or more storage devices storing programs to be executed by the one or more processors. The one or more processors decide a lane change plan creation zone including a main lane group including a plurality of main lanes that is parallel to each other in a route between a place of departure and a destination, and a recommendation degree of each of a plurality of lane links included in the main lane group. The one or more processors generate a lane change plan on the basis of the lane change plan creation zone and the recommendation degree.

  • Patent number: 10168702
    Abstract: Travelling corresponding to characteristics of autonomous driving can be performed. An autonomous driving control device 3 mounted on a vehicle and controlling autonomous driving, includes a storage unit 32 that stores map data 32a, a route extraction unit 311 that extracts a plurality of routes from an origin O to a destination D based on the map data 32a, a determination unit 312 that determines whether or not to change to another route in response to a situation of an intersection when the vehicle approaches the intersection while the vehicle is traveling in one route of the routes extracted by the route extraction unit 311, and an autonomous driving control unit 313 that controls autonomous driving based on the determination of the determination unit 312.

  • Patent number: 5771651
    Abstract: A framework for a small-scale building. Specifically, the framework includes four poles, two joint beams, two crossbeams and a ridge beam. The top of each of the four poles is connected with one of the crossbeams and one of the joint beams by a moveable joint. The joint beams are divided at an intermediate point into joint beam portions. The joint beam portions and the ridge beam are connected at the intermediate point with a joint. Further, the crossbeams are divided at an intermediate point into cross beam portions and are connected at this intermediate point with another joint. Finally, the ridge beam is divided at an intermediate point into ridge beam portions and connected at a joint. Each of the joints is bendable, such that the framework may be assembled, folded and stored easily.
