Abstract: A vehicle control device is installed in a host vehicle and is equipped with external environment sensors that detect the surrounding environment of the host vehicle, and a map generating unit which generates a center line CL of a travel path on which the host vehicle travels, based on detection information detected by the external environment sensors. The map generating unit includes a determination unit, which determines whether a curvature of a provisional center line PCL or a change in the curvature is greater than a predetermined value. When the curvature or the change in the curvature is greater than the predetermined value, the curvature of the provisional center line PCL is corrected by a correction unit to be less than or equal to the predetermined value, and a center line CL is established.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for a fluid dynamic bearing device, the method involving: forming an axial clearance 14 having a clearance width ? equal to a total amount of clearance widths of two thrust bearing clearances ?1, ?2 between a second bearing surface C of a bearing member 22 fixed to an outer periphery of a shaft member 21 and a sealing member 9; relatively moving the shaft member 21, the shaft member 22, and the sealing member 9 with respect to a housing 7 while the clearance width ? of the axial clearance 14 is maintained after forming the axial clearance 14; and fixing the sealing member 9 to the housing 7 at a time when a first thrust bearing surface B of the bearing member 22 comes into contact with a bottom surface 7b of the housing 7.

Abstract: When the object detection unit 10 detects the front vehicle X, the speed of the own vehicle 2 is controlled using a detection value of the state of the front vehicle (position, speed) detected by the front vehicle state detection unit 15, and, in the lost state where the front vehicle X is not detected, the speed of the own vehicle 2 is controlled using an estimation value of the state of the front vehicle by the lost front-vehicle state estimation unit 22 based on a condition that a length of the scheduled traveling route of the own vehicle 2 is shorter than a predetermined threshold in the detection target range by the object detection unit 10 as a necessary condition.

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.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a multilayer coating film, which comprises steps of applying a waterborne intermediate coating composition on an electrodeposited coating film to form an intermediate coating film; applying a waterborne base coating composition on the intermediate coating film to form a base coating film; applying a clear coating composition on the base coating film to form a clear coating film; and simultaneously baking and curing the intermediate coating film, the base coating film applied thereon, and the clear coating film further applied thereon in order to form a multilayer coating film, wherein the waterborne intermediate coating composition comprises an emulsion of a hydroxyl group-containing acrylic resin comprising 27 to 65% by weight of a styrene monomer, wherein the emulsion has a water-tolerance within a range of from 0.
