  • Publication number: 20240331400
    Abstract: A threshold-value setting device sets a threshold value corresponding to a predetermined distance in order to give a user a warning about a warning object approaching within a distance less than the predetermined distance, and includes a threshold-value processor and an image processor. The threshold-value processor acquires a vertical position in a camera image obtained by image capturing of surroundings of the vehicle with the camera, i.e., a designated position in accordance with a user's operation and generates an icon having a size appropriate to the designated position and having a shape imitating the shape of the warning object. The image processor superimposes the icon on the designated position in the camera image and displays the icon-superimposed camera image on a display. The threshold-value processor sets the designated position as the threshold value in accordance with a determination operation performed by the user based on the displayed icon.

  • Patent number: 11666294
    Abstract: A first acquisition unit acquires the current position of a carriage unit as information regarding the travel environment of the carriage unit. A second acquisition unit acquires a first upper limit value of the travel speed as appropriate travel conditions of the carriage unit corresponding to the current position acquired by the first acquisition unit. A third acquisition unit acquires a first measurement value of the travel speed as information regarding the travel state of the carriage unit. A travel state correction controller performs travel state correction control to make a correction to a travel state satisfying the appropriate travel conditions in a case where the travel state acquired by the third acquisition unit deviates from the appropriate travel conditions acquired by the second acquisition unit. That is, the travel state correction controller reduces the travel speed of the carriage unit in a case where the first measurement value exceeds the first upper limit value.
