  • Patent number: 11124166
    Abstract: A hydraulic oil resupply device (40) is provided between first accumulators (15F, 15R) in a manual braking operation circuit (11) and a second accumulator (25) in an automatic brake circuit (24). The hydraulic oil resupply device (40) resupplies hydraulic oil accumulated in the second accumulator (25) to the first accumulators (15F, 15R) at the operating of a manual braking operation by an operator. This configuration can suppress a rising speed of a brake pressure at the manual operation braking from being slow. Accordingly, in a vehicular brake system, it is possible to enhance a braking capability by the manual braking operation and improve the reliability.

  • Patent number: 10625747
    Abstract: A device of estimating a slip angle of vehicle wheel has an attitude-toward-road surface estimation section that uses a series of distances to measurement points on a road surface to estimate vehicle-body-road-surface coordinate conversion information (VCCI) for conversion from a vehicle-body coordinate system to a road-surface coordinate system, an on-road-surface inertia quantity calculation section that removes a gravity acceleration component from the vehicle-body inertia quantity to obtain inertia quantity caused by motion of a vehicle body and uses the VCCI to convert from the inertia quantity caused by the motion of the vehicle body to the road-surface coordinate system, and a wheel slip angle estimation section that estimates a sideslip angle of the vehicle wheel on the basis of a difference between a wheel acceleration vector and the acceleration vector converted to the road-surface coordinate system.

  • Patent number: 10613218
    Abstract: When large vehicles and small vehicles travel together in a mine, they are distinguishably detected. On a haulage vehicle for a mine, a first obstacle detection device and a second obstacle detection device are disposed. The obstacle detection devices are disposed so that they have detection directions oriented in a same direction in horizontal planes, respectively. The first obstacle detection device 111 is disposed at a height where it can detect each small vehicle, while the second obstacle detection device 112 is disposed at a height where it can detect each large vehicle without detection of any small vehicle. On the basis of detection results of the first obstacle detection device 111 and second obstacle detection device 112, a detection processing device 120 determines whether an object is a small vehicle or a large vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10255811
    Abstract: On a basis of a relative position of an obstacle 401, a size of the obstacle in an own vehicle 12 width direction and a width of the own vehicle 12, a maximum amount Dt of movement of the own vehicle 12 in the vehicle width direction as required to avoid the obstacle 401 is calculated. A point displaced over the maximum amount of movement toward a side of the adjacent lane from the relative position of the obstacle 401 is determined as an avoiding point 250. If a distance d between the avoiding point 250 and the adjacent lane is greater than the width Wm of the own vehicle 12, an avoiding path is generated for allowing the own vehicle 12 to pass the avoiding point 250.
