  • Publication number: 20180222482
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes: a detection part that detects a behavior of another vehicle in a region on which it is supposed that a vehicle travels in order to pass through a gate; a determination part that determines whether or not a gate is an operating gate, based on the behavior of the other vehicle which is detected by the detection part; and a control part that performs a vehicle control so as to pass through a gate which is determined as an operating gate by the determination part.

  • Publication number: 20180201271
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a detection unit configured to detect a nearby vehicle traveling around a subject vehicle, and a target position candidate setting unit configured to set a lane change target position candidate in a target area as a candidate for a lane change target position set as a relative position with respect to the nearby vehicle traveling in an adjacent lane adjacent to a subject lane, by referring to a detection result of the detection unit, a number of lane change target position candidates varying according to a number of nearby vehicles traveling in the target area in the adjacent lane.

  • Patent number: 10017180
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes a specification unit configured to specify a speed of an object located in front of an own vehicle and a distance between the object and the own vehicle, a calculation unit configured to calculate a target speed of the own vehicle on the basis of the speed of the object specified by the specification unit and a value based on the distance, and a traveling control unit configured to control traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the target speed calculated by the calculation unit.

  • Publication number: 20170261989
    Abstract: A vehicle control system that includes: a course generation section that, when input with a position and state of a vehicle and a position and state of the vehicle, uses a function determining a course from the start point to the end point to generate an expected course that a vehicle will travel, that infers the position and state of the end point based on a current position and state of the vehicle, and that generates the course by inputting the inferred position and state of the end point into the function; and a travelling controller that automatically controls at least steering of the vehicle such that the vehicle travels along the course generated by the course generation section.

  • Publication number: 20170232966
    Abstract: Provided are a vehicle control device, a vehicle control method, and a vehicle control program for more accurately controlling the velocity of an own vehicle with reference to a preceding vehicle. The vehicle control device includes: an identifying part identifying the velocity of the preceding vehicle present in front of the own vehicle and an inter-vehicle distance between the preceding vehicle and the own vehicle; a deriving part deriving an adjustment value, which is a value associated with the inter-vehicle distance between the preceding vehicle and the own vehicle and decreases as the inter-vehicle distance identified by the identifying part decreases, and deriving a target velocity of the own vehicle based on the derived adjustment value and the velocity of the preceding vehicle identified by the identifying part; and a travel controlling part controlling travel of the own vehicle based on the target velocity derived by the deriving part.

  • Patent number: 9166244
    Abstract: A fuel cell includes separators. A second plate of the separator includes a second circular disk section, a second elongated plate section, and a second rectangular section. A fuel gas supply passage extends through the second circular disk section. The second rectangular section has a fuel gas inlet for supplying a fuel gas to a fuel gas channel, an outer ridge, and a fuel gas outlet for discharging the fuel gas, and a detour path forming wall bent in a V-shape toward the fuel gas inlet. A fuel gas inlet is formed in the V-shaped inner area of the detour path forming wall.

  • Patent number: 8837179
    Abstract: An alternating current power supply device comprises a DC power supply for generating direct current power, a plurality of, e.g., three first DC/AC inverter to third DC/AC inverter which are arranged in parallel and electrically connected to the DC power supply, for converting the direct current power generated by the DC power supply into alternating current power and supplying the alternating current power to a load, and a control unit for controlling the driving of the first DC/AC inverter to the third DC/AC inverter. The capacitance A of the first DC/AC inverter is set to W/6, the capacitance A of the second DC/AC inverter is set to W/3, and the capacitance A of the third DC/AC inverter is set to W/2.
