Abstract: A connector includes a housing body (11) having a reference surface (18) extending substantially along a front-rear direction, an arm body (21) extending substantially along the front-rear direction, and legs (22) coupling an intermediate location of the arm body (21) in the front-rear direction and the reference surface (18).

The releasing portion (32) is pressed toward the reference surface (18), thereby releasing a locked state of the lock (31) and a mating lock (94). The legs (22) are inclined forward from the side of the reference surface (18) toward the side of the arm body (21).

The indoor reinforcement includes an upper wall portion facing the floor panel and extending in a front-rear direction of a vehicle, a pair of side wall portions extending downward from respective outer edges on both sides of the upper wall portion in a width direction of the vehicle, and a pair of flange portions extending outwards from respective lower edges of the side wall portions with lower surfaces of the flange portions fixed to an upper surface of the floor panel. The upper wall portion has flat plate-shaped flat portions and a ridge portion protruding from the flat portions toward an upper side of the vehicle or a lower side of the vehicle and extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: A curve modeling device includes a curvature calculation unit, a curvature correction unit, and a node information generation unit. The curvature calculation unit calculates a curvature of each sampling point on a route based on location information of each sampling point. The curvature correction unit corrects the curvature at each sampling point and approximates the route by a straight line interval, an arc interval, or a smooth curve interval. The node information generation unit builds a shape model of a curve included in the route by generating node information indicative of a node location on a road corresponding to the route based on the corrected curvature of the sampling point. The curvature correction unit corrects the curvature under a condition that an orientation difference defined by the calculated curvatures maintains a constant value.

Abstract: When determining that a subject vehicle traveled a curve, a road shape learning apparatus amends an entrance coordinate, a middle coordinate, and an exit coordinate of the curve based on predetermined amendment values to thereby obtain a post-amendment entrance coordinate, a post-amendment middle coordinate, and a post-amendment exit coordinate. The road shape learning apparatus computes a radius of a circular arc which passes through the post-amendment entrance coordinate, the post-amendment middle coordinate, and the post-amendment exit coordinate and designates the computed radius as a curvature radius of the curve.
