  • Publication number: 20190283774
    Abstract: A travel control apparatus controls automated driving travel of a vehicle by making a transition between a plurality of control states based on a surrounding environment of the vehicle. The travel control apparatus includes a skill level acquisition unit configured to acquire a skill level of a vehicle occupant about automated driving, and a control unit configured to control the automated driving travel of the vehicle in one of the plurality of control states based on the surrounding environment of the vehicle sensed by a sensing unit.

  • Publication number: 20190286127
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a vehicle control device that carries out driving support or automated driving of a self-vehicle is provided. The vehicle control device comprises a steering controller that performs steering control on a manual operation by a driver or an automated operation. The steering controller accepts steering input by a manual operation by the driver in addition to a system steering amount by the vehicle control device while steering control by the vehicle control device is performed, returns a predetermined reaction force to the manual operation upon accepting the steering input, and makes the reaction force to the manual operation larger in a case where traveling is performed in a second state where steering wheel grasping is unrequired, as compared with a case where traveling is performed in a first state where steering wheel grasping is required.

  • Publication number: 20190278266
    Abstract: A control apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a travel control unit configured to perform travel control of the vehicle and a guidance unit capable of providing guidance relating to the travel control. When an operation of the travel control unit is controlled by an operation apparatus, the guidance unit determines whether to provide guidance on a basis of a past operation state of at least one of the travel control unit or the guidance unit.

  • Publication number: 20180284789
    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.

  • Publication number: 20180173236
    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.

  • Patent number: 9367738
    Abstract: Apparatus for calculating current distribution inside brain includes: initial grid setting unit configured to set grid points constituting grid with predetermined pitch; current calculating unit configured to calculate current value at each grid point based on the electromagnetic information, by solving forward problem to obtain lead field matrix and by solving inverse problem to obtain current source vector; sub-grid setting unit configured to set grid points constituting sub-grid with smaller pitch, only for subset of the previously set grid, based on the current value at each grid point calculated in the preceding current calculating step; and calculation executing unit configured to repeat setting the sub-grid and calculating the current source vector by the sub-grid setting unit and the current calculating unit one or more times, after calculation of current source vector corresponding to the initial grid is executed by the initial grid setting unit and the current calculating unit.
