Abstract: An ECU as a driving assistance device has a traffic sign detection section, a lane entry detection section and a judgment section. The traffic sign detection section detects traffic signs including a speed limit symbol based on front-image data captured by an in-vehicle camera. The lane entry detection section detects that the own vehicle has entered a ramp lane to leave a highway. The judgment section detects an extent of a current driving lane as the ramp lane when following conditions (c1) and (c2) are satisfied after the lane entry detection section detects the entry of the own vehicle into the ramp lane: (c1) not less than two traffic signs are arranged along the current driving lane in forward direction of the vehicle; and (c2) an arrangement of speed limit symbols included in the detected traffic signs satisfy a predetermined speed reduction pattern.

Abstract: In a driving assistance apparatus, a start determiner determines whether or not during travel in a no-passing zone an own vehicle has laterally moved from a rearward position to a lateral position relative to the preceding vehicle, and if the own vehicle has laterally moved, then determine that the own vehicle has started passing driving. If the own vehicle has started passing driving in the no-passing zone, an alert controller starts alerting using an alert device at a start of passing driving. A situation determiner determines whether or not a change of situation from a blocking situation to a non blocking situation has occurred after the start of passing driving. If the change of situation from the blocking situation to the non blocking situation has occurred, an alerting stopper stops alerting using the alert device.

Abstract: A pneumatic clamping component includes a clamping member having a main body portion, an abutting portion, and clamping arms. Each clamping arm has a connecting portion and a clamping portion. A base has an accommodating cavity in communication with an air opening. The abutting portion, the clamping arms and an inner wall of the accommodating cavity jointly form an air chamber in communication with the air opening. The air opening is used for entry of air and keeps the air in the air chamber. The clamping portion is located outside the air chamber. A gap is located between the two clamping arms. When the air does not enter the air chamber, two clamping portions are not in contact with the to-be-clamped object. When the air enters the air chamber, a to-be-clamped object is located in the gap, and the two clamping portions clamp the to-be-clamped object.
