  • Publication number: 20200149885
    Abstract: The interior of a first measurement surface and the interior of a second measurement surface traveling together with a measuring vehicle are scanned to acquire first measurement coordinate points and second measurement coordinate points, respectively. A first comparison point cloud representing a comparison part on a surface of a structure is extracted from the first measurement coordinate points. A second comparison point cloud representing a comparison part on the surface of the structure is extracted from the second measurement coordinate points. A difference between the first comparison point cloud and the second comparison point cloud corresponding to measurement of a common comparison part on the surface of the structure is calculated. Error having time dependence included in the first measurement coordinate points and the second measurement coordinate points is calculated on the basis of the calculated difference. The measurement coordinate points are corrected on the basis of the calculated error.

  • Patent number: 10640123
    Abstract: A driving monitoring system monitors a driver of a host vehicle by a vehicle control unit and a portable terminal which communicate with each other. The vehicle control unit controls the host vehicle. The portable terminal includes a display screen and a camera arranged to capture an image of an area opposing the display screen. The driver monitoring system determines whether the driver of the host vehicle looks at the display screen of the portable terminal during running of the host vehicle, based on an image captured by the camera; the driver monitoring system issues a warning in response to that the driver is determined to be looking at the display screen of the portable terminal.

  • Patent number: 10608818
    Abstract: A communication system and a comparison method for securing a communication path for a legitimate user via a terminal apparatus (“TA”). A vehicle-mounted communication device (“VMCD”) transmits a device ID identifying the VMCD to a TA, acquires a terminal ID from the TA, and transmits the device ID and the terminal ID acquired from the TA to a central apparatus. The TA transmits a terminal ID identifying the TA to the VMCD, acquires a device ID from the VMCD, and transmits the terminal ID and the device ID acquired from the VMCD to the central apparatus. The central apparatus receives a device ID and a terminal ID transmitted from the VMCD and a device ID and a terminal ID transmitted from the TA, and compares the device ID and the terminal ID received from the VMCD with the device ID and the terminal ID received from the TA.

  • Publication number: 20190381864
    Abstract: An air-conditioning control apparatus includes a determiner and a controller. The determiner is configured to determine whether a subject vehicle is in a slipstream of a preceding vehicle when the subject vehicle is in autonomous control and following the preceding vehicle. The controller is configured to increase a flow rate of air flowing through a condenser for an air-conditioning of the subject vehicle when the determiner determines that the subject vehicle is in the slipstream of the preceding vehicle. According to this, even when the subject vehicle is in the slipstream and following the preceding vehicle during the autonomous control, the flow rate of the air flowing through the condenser can be increased by the controller. Accordingly, the flow rate of the air flowing through the condenser of the subject vehicle can be secured in the condition where the inter-vehicle distance from the preceding vehicle is small during vehicle platooning.
