  • Patent number: 11130483
    Abstract: A system for controlling turning of vehicle may include a steering angle detection sensor; a front inner wheel speed detection sensor detecting a front inner wheel speed; a front outer wheel speed detection sensor detecting a front outer wheel speed; a rear outer wheel speed detection sensor detecting a rear outer wheel speed based on a turning direction; and a braking controller receiving detection signal of the steering angle detection sensor to determine that the vehicle turns, estimating the rear inner wheel speed in the turning direction based on detection signals of the front inner wheel speed detection sensor and the front outer wheel speed detection sensor and detection signal of the rear outer wheel speed detection sensor, and executing a mode for decreasing the estimated speed as compared to the rear outer wheel speed, as a control mode for reducing a minimum rotation radius at the time of turning.

  • Patent number: 11130490
    Abstract: After stop control and before start control, if a situation monitoring unit does not detect predetermined change of a peripheral situation or a host vehicle situation, a travel control unit performs the start control at the normal control amount, and if the situation monitoring unit detects the predetermined change of the peripheral situation or the host vehicle situation, the travel control unit performs the start control at the control amount that is suppressed compared with the normal control amount.

  • Patent number: 11106217
    Abstract: An automated driving integrated control apparatus includes: a server side reception processer; a command value calculator; and a server side transmission processer. The server side reception processer receives a vehicle information including at least an information of a current position and an information of a brake specific fuel consumption or a brake specific power consumption from a vehicle. The command value calculator obtains a driving force reference value on a basis of at least the information of the brake specific fuel consumption or the brake specific power consumption in the received vehicle information, and calculates an acceleration command value for an automated driving on a basis of the driving force reference value. The server side transmission processer transmits the calculated acceleration command value to each vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11097724
    Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling travel of an own vehicle which is a vehicle carrying the apparatus, an information acquirer is configured to acquire information regarding a target around the own vehicle from a target detector. A controller is configured to, if determining, using the target information acquired by the information acquirer, that if travel of the own vehicle is continued in accordance with a collision avoidance trajectory determined to avoid a collision with an object located on a roadway ahead of the own vehicle, the own vehicle is likely to collide with the object or another object, change a setting of a driving state of the own vehicle so as to avoid or reduce a likelihood of the collision.

  • Patent number: 11067980
    Abstract: The invention relates to a ground station for a UAV comprising a housing for accommodating a system on chip (SOC) circuit including a control processor for executing software to wirelessly control functions of the UAV, a first screen, and a second screen, wherein one or both screens are controlled directly by the SOC control processor. The housing may comprise a clam shell housing comprising a first housing member for accommodating the control processor and a second housing member movable relative to the first housing member between a first closed position overlaying said first housing member and a second open position. The arrangement is such that the first housing member has mounted thereon the first screen and the second housing member has mounted thereon the second screen such that both screens are viewable by a user when the second housing member is in its open position.

  • Patent number: 11067982
    Abstract: A method for the remote control of a function of a vehicle by a mobile operating device, involves enabling or disabling the function of the vehicle, such as an autonomous function for maneuvering into or out of a parking space, based on a sensed movement of the operating device. Enablement of the function requires that the sensed movement is a micromovement, a micromovement being a movement that is limited in the extent thereof and/or in the dynamics thereof.
