Patent number: 11155257Abstract: An automatic parking control device is capable of causing a vehicle to correctly reach the next frame without relying on normal parking route regeneration when a determination is made that the vehicle cannot reach the next frame under automatic parking vehicle control along a section route constituting a part of a parking route. When a determination is made whether the next frame is located on an extension of the current section route and the determination result shows that the next frame is located on the extension, the host vehicle travels further. When the determination is made whether the next frame is located on a remaining section of the current section route and the determination result shows that the next frame is located on the remaining section, the host vehicle decelerates earlier, thereby allowing the host vehicle to reach and come to a stop at the next frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: HITACHI AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Munetoshi Tsuge, Yoshiyuki Yoshida, Masashi Seimiya, Keiichiro Hirakawa

Publication number: 20210001837Abstract: There is a problem that it takes a long time to park a vehicle because the vehicle has to be returned to a position outside the parking frame and parked. In step S160, the correction judgment unit 142 judges from the necessary correction amounts calculated in steps S140 and S150 and the remaining distance to the re-targeted parking position that is re-recognized, whether or not correction of the parking route with this remaining distance is possible. In a case where it is judged in step S160 that correction with the remaining distance r2 is impossible, the vehicle is stopped in step S171. Even if it is judged in step S160 that the correction is impossible, when the vehicle is moved backward toward the parking frame is parked, the vehicle is obliquely parked in the parking frame and cannot be fit neatly in the parking frame. In step S172, a parking route including a turnabout is regenerated with respect to the re-targeted parking position calculated in step S130 while the stopped state is maintained.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2019Publication date: January 7, 2021Applicant: HITACHI AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Keiichiro HIRAKAWA, Satoru OKUBO, Masashi SEIMIYA, Munetoshi TSUGE

Patent number: 8160447Abstract: An OLT transmits and receives a CMTS/CM apparatus control signal through an apparatus physical management interface which is physically identical to or different from a main signal interface (NNI) and processes the CMTS apparatus control signal by itself. When connection of a new ONU is detected by an ONU apparatus control signal, an IP address is allocated by using the CM apparatus control signal in a manner similar to the CM. The CM apparatus control signal regarding the ONU is transmitted and received by using the IP address and a mutual conversion is performed between the CM apparatus control signal and the ONU apparatus control signal. The ONU processes the ONU apparatus control signal in a manner similar to the ONU based on an ordinary PON standard.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Munetoshi Tsuge, Takashi Mori, Masanobu Kobayashi, Yoshio Miyamori, Shinobu Gohara
