Publication number: 20240149867Abstract: A parking assistance device 1 assisting an operation to park an own vehicle in a parking spot PS, and/or an operation to exit the own vehicle from the parking spot PS, comprises a surrounding sensor 20 to acquire information about objects existing around the own vehicle and a processor capable of executing parking assistance control to assist driving operation by the driver, by setting a target position TP based on the information acquired by the surrounding sensor 20, further setting a target route TR to reach the target position, and controlling the own vehicle to automatically move along the target route TR and reach the target position TP. The processor is configured to set the target route as a route that can reach the target position without making contact with all the first objects, which are determined to obstruct the progress of the own vehicle, and all the second objects, which are determined to be unclear whether or not they obstruct the progress of the own vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takuya NAKAGAWA, Yohei SUZUKI, Yoshiki HAYAKAWA

Publication number: 20240134043Abstract: The parking assist apparatus includes a sensor that detects an object by receiving a reflected wave reflected by the object by a transmitted wave, and a controller that executes parking assist control for parking the vehicle in a parking space set based on a detection result of the sensor. The controller provides a predetermined margin to a size of a peripheral object, which is an object detected by the sensor and exists around the parking space, in a provisional direction in which the parking space is narrowed. The controller executes parking assist control using a size of the peripheral object to which the margin is provided. When the size of the peripheral object newly detected by the sensor becomes larger than the size to which the margin is provided, the controller executes parking assist control using the size of the peripheral object newly detected by the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Motonari OBAYASHI, Takuya NAKAGAWA, Yoshiki HAYAKAWA

Publication number: 20220234573Abstract: A moving object determination device applied to a vehicle, the device includes at least a predicted time calculation unit, a time difference calculation unit, and a moving/stationary determination unit. The predicted time calculation unit calculates a predicted time from when an obstacle starts to be detected by the first sensor to when the obstacle will no longer be detected by the second sensor based on a traveling speed of the obstacle and a length of the obstacle. The time difference calculation unit calculates a real time from when the obstacle has been detected by the first sensor to when the obstacle has no longer been detected by the second sensor, and calculates a time difference between the real time and the predicted time. The moving/stationary determination unit determines that the obstacle is a stationary object in response to the time difference being equal to or greater than a predetermined value.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Yoshiki HAYAKAWA, Masumi FUKUMAN, Akihiro KIDA, Kunihiro SUGIHARA

Publication number: 20220237923Abstract: An object detection device is configured to be mounted to an own vehicle to detect an object present around the own vehicle. The object detection device includes a coordinate acquisition section and an object recognition section. The coordinate acquisition section acquires position coordinates of a detection point corresponding to the object on the basis of a plurality of images captured at different positions along with movement of the own vehicle by one imaging section mounted to the own vehicle. The object recognition section recognizes the object without using position coordinates of a movement point that is a detection point corresponding to a moving object but using position coordinates of a stop point that is a detection point different from the movement point.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Youhei SUZUKI, Yoshiki HAYAKAWA, Hidenori TANAKA, Akihiro KIDA, Kunihiro SUGIHARA, Yutaka HAMAMOTO, Masumi FUKUMAN

Patent number: 7392793Abstract: A fuel injection controller calculates a fuel pressure-feeding start angle of a fuel pump as a valve opening start angle of a metering valve, which regulates a discharge amount, by adding a base angle and a feedback correction value. The base angle is calculated in accordance with a command injection amount and target fuel pressure based on a basic map. The feedback correction value is calculated based on differential pressure between sensed fuel pressure and the target fuel pressure. If an abnormality is caused in either one of two metering valves, the base angle is calculated based on an abnormal period map instead of the basic map. Thus, controllability of the fuel pressure is maintained high even when the abnormality is caused in a part of multiple pressure-feeding systems including multiple plungers of the fuel pump.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2007Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Yoshiki Hayakawa

Patent number: 7370638Abstract: An accumulator fuel injection system working to energize fuel injectors to inject fuel at a sequence of injection timings into an internal combustion engine and also to control a fuel pump to feed the fuel to an accumulator at a sequence of controlled times for compensating for the amount of the fuel flowing out of the accumulator under feedback control. When having found a failure in operation of at least one of the fuel injectors, the system alters a mode of the feedback control to decrease the amount of fuel fed to the accumulator at one of the sequence of the controlled times which is at a selected interval away from one of the sequence of the injection timings at which the at least one of the fuel injectors is to be energized, thereby ensuring a steady balance between the amounts of fuel flowing into and out of the accumulator.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2006Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Yoshiki Hayakawa
