Abstract: A vehicle management method is provided for setting a travel plan for a vehicle (Vn) using a server (10) configured to manage vehicle requests from a plurality of users. This method includes specifying an available vehicle from among a plurality of the vehicles as an in-use vehicle on the basis of the vehicle requests from the users who request use of the vehicle (Vn), setting the travel plan including a travel route of the in-use vehicle by way of a boarding location for each of the users on the basis of the vehicle requests from the users, and in a case in which a user of the users is absent at the boarding location when the in-use vehicle arrives at the boarding location, setting a waiting time at the boarding location on the basis of the travel plan.

Abstract: To provide a means capable of suppressing deterioration in the soundproofing performance of a soundproofing material capable of exhibiting high soundproofing performance over a wide range of a frequency range of 2000 Hz or less. A soundproofing material including a sheet having elasticity, and a support portion partitioning the sheet into a partition portion while supporting the sheet is configured so that a surface rigidity (k) of the sheet and a surface density (m) of the sheet in the partition portion satisfy a relationship of the following Expression 1. Further, the soundproofing material is disposed on a substrate and a vibration separation layer is further disposed between the soundproofing material and the substrate to configure a soundproofing structure: 1 2 ? ? ? k m > 900 [ Hz ] .

Abstract: A driving assistance method includes: detecting a position of a first obstacle ahead of a host vehicle on a first lane where the host vehicle is traveling; detecting a position of a second obstacle ahead of the host vehicle on a second lane, the second lane being an oncoming lane adjacent to the first lane; when the position of the second obstacle is on a nearer side than the position of the first obstacle in a traveling direction of the host vehicle, determining a first stop position as a stop position of the host vehicle to a position before the second obstacle in the traveling direction of the host vehicle; and assisting the host vehicle to stop at the determined first stop position.

Abstract: A method for determining an avoidance path of a motor vehicle includes the steps of:—acquiring data relating to an obstacle located in the surroundings of the motor vehicle by means of a detection system,—determining a final position to be reached according to the position of the obstacle and an initial position of the motor vehicle,—calculating a theoretical impact position located between the initial position and the final position, and—developing the avoidance path such that the motor vehicle passes through the initial position and the final position and avoids the theoretical impact position around the outside.

Abstract: An electric machine for an electric or hybrid motor vehicle includes a cooling system suitable for spraying a dielectric heat transfer fluid onto active parts of the machine and a reservoir for collecting, by gravity, the fluid flowing through an orifice in a wall separating the active parts and the reservoir. The machine also includes, at the orifice, a flap attached to the wall and suitable for closing the orifice, a resilient device to open the flap under the effect of gravity on the liquid, and a non-return device to hold the flap closed when a force exerted on the fluid in the reservoir brings the liquid against the flap.
