Abstract: A vehicle control system includes: a partition line recognizing unit that recognizes partition lines of a road on which a subject vehicle is running; an information acquiring unit that acquires information relating to running histories of other vehicles for a section in which no partition line can be recognized by the partition line recognizing unit from an external device; and an automated driving control unit that determines a behavior of the subject vehicle and performs automated driving on the basis of the running histories acquired by the information acquiring unit in a case in which there is a section in which no partition line can be recognized by the partition line recognizing unit after passing through a gate installed on the road.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a mid-term trajectory generation unit and a short-term trajectory generation unit, one of which generates a travel trajectory on which a vehicle can travel without interfering with an obstacle. The mid-term trajectory generation unit or the short-term trajectory generation unit: generates a travel route that passes through a second potential-travelling region which is obtained by subtracting obstacle regions, indicating obstacles, from a vehicle first potential-travelling region that is defined by the road environment; and generates the travel trajectory on the basis of the generated travel route.

Abstract: In the present invention, a short-term route (provided at a timing for starting automatic driving) for automatic driving control that uses local environment map information generated constantly by a local environment map generation unit is generated continuously even when automatic driving is not set to an on state by an automatic driving switch. As a result, it is possible to instantly control the automatic driving of a vehicle by the continuously generated short-term route after transitioning to the on state of the automatic driving switch.

Abstract: In the present invention, an integrated control unit simultaneously causes a long-term route generation unit, an intermediate-term route neratio unit, and a short-term route generation unit to begin generating routes when an automatic driving mode is set to an on state by an automatic driving on setting unit, and a vehicle is instantly subjected to automatic driving control using a short-term route prior to the generation of a long-term route. As a result, the present invention provides a vehicle control device that can immediately perform automatic driving control based on a short-term route after the automatic driving mode of the vehicle is set o the on state and, after generating a long-term route in which riding comfort improves a stepwise manner, perform automatic driving control in which the long-term route and an intermediate-term route are taken into account.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a first trajectory generating part that performs processing at a first period and that generates a first trajectory which is a future target trajectory for a host vehicle, a second trajectory generating part that generates a second trajectory which can start the host vehicle earlier compared to the first trajectory in a case the host vehicle is accelerated from a state in which the host vehicle is stopped or traveling at a low speed on the basis of an external environment, and a traveling controller that controls traveling of the host vehicle on the basis of the second trajectory generated by the second trajectory generating part.

Abstract: A vehicle control device is equipped with a target steering angle generating unit adapted to generate a target steering angle for a vehicle from a relationship between acquired lane information and an attitude of the vehicle, during a period in which a low speed traveling state is being detected, or during a period until a predetermined condition from a mode transition time point is satisfied, and a steering angle control unit adapted to control the steering angle of the vehicle so as to agree with the generated target steering angle.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a detector that detects an obstacle present in a space around a vehicle and separated from a road surface, and an action plan generating part that estimates at least one of a size and a type of the obstacle detected by the detector, predicts a behavior of the obstacle on the basis of the estimated result, and generates a danger avoidance action plan of the vehicle on the basis of the predicted result of the behavior of the obstacle.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes: a recognition part that recognizes a state of a peripheral object; an approach determination part that determines, based on the behavior of a rearward vehicle recognized by the recognition part, approach of the rearward vehicle; and an action plan generation part that displaces a vehicle in an intersect direction which intersects with a travel route within a travel road when the approach determination part determines that there is an approach and when the recognition part recognizes an object in front of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes a generation unit configured to generate a locus of a position of an own vehicle for each predetermined time in a future as a trajectory of the own vehicle, a traveling control unit configured to control a traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the trajectory generated by the generation unit, and a storage control unit configured to cause a storage unit to store information indicating a steering component corresponding to a trajectory previously generated by the generation unit when the own vehicle is stopped.

Abstract: A fault-tolerant computer system, which prevents an I/O fault from reaching the CPU block while using an alternative I/O block to continue processing, employs common general-purpose processors with a minimum of specialized peripheral circuits. Dual system bus adapters are provided not in the fast-operating CPU portion requiring sophisticated packaging technology, but in the low-speed interface between the CPUs and the I/O bus adapters. This allows the CPUs and I/O bus adapters to be shared by ordinary data processors, workstations, or personal computers while implementing a fault-tolerant computer system. If a one-shot hardware fault occurs in a CPU or in an I/O bus adapter, the faulty component is disconnected from the system so that the system will operate uninterruptedly.

Abstract: A composite hollow fiber membrane is provided, which includes a microporous hollow fiber support membrane and a polymeric ultrathin layer formed on the outer surface of the microporous hollow fiber support membrane by interfacial polymerization, and which contains an organic fluorine compound. Also provided is a process for its production, in which a microporous hollow fiber support membrane is successively contacted with first and second solutions involved in the polymerization, but it is further contacted with a third liquid which is substantially immiscible with the first and/or second solutions and which contains an organic fluorine compound, before and/or after contact with the second solution. Thus, it becomes possible to produce a composite hollow fiber membrane exhibiting excellent permeability and selectivity performance in a continuous and stable manner.
