  • Patent number: 11668783
    Abstract: A conventional V2X communication system relays vehicle information received from vehicles, from a base station to all vehicles in an area. Accordingly, a problem arises in that unnecessary transmission to vehicles which do not require vehicle information occurs, resulting in increase in a traffic amount in communication. According to the present disclosure, only if it is determined, based on information that is held by a vehicle or a base station and that is about an area in which direct transmission or reception is difficult, that direct transmission of vehicle information to another vehicle or reception of vehicle information transmitted from the other vehicle is difficult, the vehicle information is transmitted to the other vehicle via the base station.

  • Publication number: 20230170027
    Abstract: When selectively erasing one sub-block, a control circuit applies, in a first sub-block, a first voltage to bit lines and a source line, and applies a second voltage smaller than the first voltage to the word lines. Then, the control circuit applies a third voltage lower than the first voltage by a certain value to a drain-side select gate line and a source-side select gate line, thereby performing the erase operation in the first sub-block. The control circuit applies, in a second sub-block existing in an identical memory block to the selected sub-block, a fourth voltage substantially identical to the first voltage to the drain side select gate line and the source side select gate line, thereby not performing the erase operation in the second sub-block.

  • Patent number: 11603096
    Abstract: A traveling control apparatus performs a target-following control process on a target to be followed detected by a target detecting unit. Further, the traveling control apparatus calculates a probability that the target to be followed is within an own lane, and determines whether a degree of recognition by the target detecting unit of the target to be followed is in a weakly recognized state where the degree of recognition is weaker than a predetermined degree. The apparatus sets a reliability of the target to be followed on the basis of the probability calculated by a probability calculating process and a determination result by a determining process, and controls acceleration of an own vehicle so that a jerk which is a differential value of the acceleration becomes smaller as the reliability of the target to be followed is lower while the target-following control process is performed.
