  • Publication number: 20240334619
    Abstract: In order to provide an electronic device capable of securing a sufficient heat dissipation path while reducing assembly man-hours, the electronic device includes: a substrate on which an electronic component is packaged; a case in which a substrate insertion opening portion is provided, a slide groove through which a substrate is inserted by sliding is formed on both sidewalls, and the substrate is contained by being inserted in the slide groove from the substrate insertion opening portion; and a cover which is coupled to the case to block the substrate insertion opening portion of the case, the case being provided with a case side positioning portion for positioning the substrate; and the cover being provided with a cover side positioning portion for positioning the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20240179607
    Abstract: When a tall vehicle stops near an access point, reception of application information from the access point may be hindered. Calculation as to whether or not a radio wave from the access point is blocked by an obstacle such as a tall vehicle is performed on the basis of obstacle information created by the access point. If the radio wave is blocked, connection to another access point around the access point from which the radio wave is blocked is searched for.

  • Publication number: 20230169775
    Abstract: If there is a detection point that is erroneously recognized as an obstacle even though the detection point indicates a control-target vehicle, an obstacle that does not exist has been detected near the control-target vehicle. Consequently, the control-target vehicle might become unable to autonomously travel in an attempt to avoid a collision with the erroneously recognized obstacle. Considering this, an object indicated by a detection point that is detected by a road-side sensor and that exists within a certain distance range from a position of a control-target vehicle specified by an image recognition camera of a road-side unit, is not regarded as an obstacle.

  • Publication number: 20220101634
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a multiple of object detection devices including a transmission system that transmits a transmission wave and a receiving system that receives a reflected wave from an object, and a control device into which detected information is input from each of the multiple of object detection devices, wherein the control device includes a representative value calculation unit that calculates a representative value of reception strength of the reflected wave obtained by each of the multiple of object detection devices detecting a peripheral object at regular intervals, and a performance decline determination unit that determines that a decline in performance of the multiple of object detection devices has occurred.
