  • Publication number: 20190272754
    Abstract: In the case of recognizing a traffic regulation which determines that the priority of a first lane is higher than the priority of a second lane, and in the case of determining a state in which another vehicle is in compliance with the traffic regulation, and then determining that the other vehicle is not complying with the traffic regulation, a vehicle control device carries out at least one of a travel control in which a travel position of a host vehicle is moved in a direction of a side opposite to the second lane, and a travel control in which acceleration is not performed.

  • Publication number: 20190265709
    Abstract: If an external environment recognition unit recognizes another vehicle that is positioned along a travel lane, an offset setting unit sets an offset amount in a direction of separating a host vehicle from the other vehicle. The offset setting unit sets the offset amount (predetermined amount) to be smaller in a case where the external environment recognition unit identifies the other vehicle as a streetcar, than the offset amount (predetermined amount) in a case where the external environment recognition unit identifies the other vehicle as an vehicle other than the streetcar.

  • Publication number: 20190266889
    Abstract: When a host vehicle crosses a track of a streetcar, if an external environment recognition unit recognizes a stop line (or a section line) between the host vehicle and the track, a stop position setting unit sets the stop line as a target stop position. In addition, if the external environment recognition unit does not recognize the stop line between the host vehicle and the track, the stop position setting unit sets a predetermined position that is separated from the track toward the host vehicle as the target stop position.

  • Publication number: 20190263412
    Abstract: In a vehicle control device and a vehicle control method, the vehicle control device comprises a lane recognition unit adapted to recognize a lane type of an adjacent lane adjacent to a host vehicle lane in which a host vehicle is traveling, a determination condition setting unit adapted to set a determination condition for permitting a lane change of the host vehicle from the host vehicle lane to the adjacent lane depending on the lane type of the adjacent lane that was recognized by the lane recognition unit, a lane change determining unit adapted to permit the lane change in the case that the determination condition is satisfied, and a vehicle control unit adapted to carry out a travel control or an assist control in relation to the lane change, in the case that the lane change determining unit has permitted the lane change.

  • Patent number: 9939061
    Abstract: A check valve includes a check valve body and a check valve member. The check valve body includes a check valve outlet port and a check valve oil path. The check valve member is movable in the check valve oil path to move in a first direction in which the check valve member is pushed by hydraulic fluid due to hydraulic pressure from a hydraulic pump. A switching valve includes a switching valve body. The switching valve body includes a switching valve inlet port connected to the check valve outlet port and a receiving surface facing the check valve outlet port. The check valve member contacts the receiving surface after the hydraulic pump starts providing hydraulic pressure. The switching valve body is supported by a valve body via a first O-ring and a second O-ring such that the switching valve body is movable in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 9765851
    Abstract: A power transmission belt has a cord embedded in a belt body made of rubber. The cord is configured as a plied yarn with a total fiber fineness of 4000 to 5000 dtex. The plied yarn consists of four primarily-twisted yarns, each being obtained by subjecting a bundle of para-aramid fibers with a fiber fineness of 1000 to 1250 dtex to a primary twist in one direction at a twist coefficient of 1200 to 1350, and these four primarily-twisted yarns are then secondarily twisted in the opposite direction to the primary twist at a twist coefficient of 900 to 1100, thereby obtaining the plied yarn.
