  • Patent number: 11970208
    Abstract: A vehicle collision avoidance assist apparatus executes a steering avoidance control of setting an avoidance route for avoiding the collision of the own vehicle with the object in a lane in which the own vehicle moves and executing an avoiding steering process of forcibly steering the own vehicle so as to move the own vehicle along the avoidance route when an index value representing a probability of collision of an own vehicle with an object ahead of the own vehicle becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined index value. The apparatus stops an execution of the steering avoidance control when a departing amount of the own vehicle from the avoidance route becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined departing amount while the electronic control unit executes the steering avoidance control. The predetermined departing amount is set for each of sections of the avoidance route.

  • Patent number: 11928977
    Abstract: A system for assisting in the landing of an aircraft including a processing unit configured to: during a first phase of a landing runway approach procedure, when the aircraft flies above a predetermined height with respect to a landing runway threshold, determine a bias of position and speed information from an inertia unit of the aircraft, as a function of the merged position and speed information determined as a function of information from a receiver of ILS guidance signals and of information from a signal receiver of a satellite navigation system, then, during a second phase of the approach procedure, when the aircraft flies below the predetermined height, determine so-called adjusted aircraft position and speed information by applying, to information from the inertial unit, a correction corresponding to the bias determined during the first phase of the approach procedure.
