Abstract: A controller detects partitioning lines OL and BL of a road and a road edge E based on an image taken by a camera, generates a pair of left and right virtual lines ILL and ILR that extend from the side to the front of a vehicle along the partitioning lines OL and BL, controls the steering so the vehicle travels between the left and right virtual lines ILL and ILR, moves the left virtual line ILL to a position in proximity to the road edge E and fixes the left virtual line ILL to this position, and then, moves the right virtual line ILR to a position separated from the left virtual line ILL by the width of the vehicle and fixes the right virtual line ILR to this position, and controls brakes to stop the vehicle after fixing the left and right virtual lines ILL and ILR.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle control device which includes: a surrounding object detection part; a target traveling course calculation part; and a corrected traveling course calculation part, wherein the corrected traveling course calculation part is configured to, when a surrounding object to be avoided is detected, set an upper limit line of a permissible relative speed at which the own vehicle is permitted to travel with respect to the surrounding object, and derive the corrected traveling course, based on the upper limit line, a given evaluation function, and a given limiting condition, and wherein the corrected traveling course calculation part has, as the limiting condition, a region outside the width of the own vehicle whose middle is coincident with an estimated traveling course set on an assumption that the own vehicle travels along a traveling trajectory of the preceding vehicle detected by the surrounding object detection part.

Abstract: An MAG arc welding method and apparatus is capable of achieving a welding bead in a regular ripple pattern or in a suitable sectional form. The welding power source generates the first welding current I1 and a second welding current I2 larger than the first welding current. The wire melting speed is changed by switching between the first and the second welding currents. The welding method or apparatus according to the invention generates the first arc length more than 2 mm and the second arc length more than the first arc length and switches between both arc length at a switching frequency F of 0.5 to 25 Hz. The ratio of the second to the first welding currents is made to be in 1.03 to 1.20. In addition to a welding method to change the arc length by switching the first and the second welding currents at a constant wire feeding rate, the present welding method makes it possible to carry out the lap welding or butt welding even when there is a large gap.
