  • Publication number: 20240158009
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus, a vehicle control method, and a vehicle control system according to the present invention each acquire information related to a positional difference in a transverse direction between a target trajectory of a vehicle and an actual trajectory of the vehicle, estimate an amount of disturbance corresponding to the positional difference in the transverse direction by using the information related to the positional difference in the transverse direction, and obtain a control command by using the amount of disturbance as an aspect thereof. The control command is for causing the vehicle to track the target trajectory. This makes it possible to accurately estimate the amount of disturbance and increase the performance of tracking the target trajectory.

  • Patent number: 9356864
    Abstract: It is provided a packet transfer apparatus comprising: a packet reception part; a packet transmission part; a packet generation part for generating an own-apparatus-originated packet serving as a packet for instructing a predetermined operation and outputting the own-apparatus-originated packet; a packet search part for determining a content of flow control and searching for an output circuit; a search memory for storing the content of the flow control and information for identifying the output circuit outputting the packet; and a packet transfer processing part. The packet reception part determines whether the received packet is the own-apparatus-originated packet; and outputs a self-origination flag indicating a result of the determining and header information of the received packet to the packet search part. The packet search part determines the content of the flow control for the received packet by referring to the search memory based on the self-origination flag and the header information.
