  • Patent number: 10220842
    Abstract: When an own vehicle V1 crosses an opposite traffic lane R2 at an intersection to make a right turn, an ECU 20 such as a vehicle control device detects a presence of a crossing person P crossing a crosswalk CW existing near the intersection on a road R3 which the vehicle V1 is directed to enter by making the right turn, detects a size of a space between the crosswalk SP on which the detected crossing person P crosses and the opposite traffic lane, and when performing a control for braking the vehicle V1 so as to avoid a collision of at least the vehicle V1 with the crossing person P, changes a timing to perform the control for braking the vehicle V1 based on the detected size of the space SP up to the crosswalk CW.

  • Patent number: 8498767
    Abstract: A power-supply control apparatus of a vehicle comprises a first electricity-storage device to supply electric power to a starter for starting engine, a generator to convert kinetic energy of the vehicle during a vehicle deceleration to electric energy for energy recovery, a second electricity-storage device coupled to the generator to store the electric power from the generator thereat, a feeder circuit coupling the second electricity-storage device to an electric load with a relatively-small electric-load capacity via a DC/DC convertor, a coupling line coupling the second electricity-storage device to the first electricity-storage device via a coupling relay, and a controller to control the electric power passing through the feeder circuit and the coupling line, wherein the controller executes a control to make the coupling relay on the coupling line in an OFF state when the starter operates.

  • Publication number: 20060170241
    Abstract: The specified door other than the driver-seat door is lathed or unlatched by the electromagnetic latch mechanism. When the request switch of the door in the closed state is operated, the request signal is transmitted from the antenna of the onboard transmitter. The ID signal is transmitted by the portable device responsive to the request signal, and the ID signal is received by the antenna of the onboard receiver. Herein, the door is unlatched by the electromagnetic latch mechanism upon verification with the ID signal received. When the door in the open state is closed, the electromagnetic latch mechanism is operated to latch the door whether the request switch is operated or not or the verification with the ID signal is executed. Accordingly, the superior smart entry system for a vehicle without security problems can be provided.
