Patent number: 11648963Abstract: A LiDAR sensor three-dimensionally scans laser light outward of the vehicle and receives reflected light. A LiDAR data analyzer groups three-dimensional points of the reflected light acquired by the LiDAR sensor into clusters. A precise docking control start determination unit compares shapes and reflectance distributions between at least one of the clusters obtained by the LiDAR data analyzer and a reference cluster representing a stop target to determine whether or not the at least one cluster includes the stop target.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Takeshi Uraki

Patent number: 11560157Abstract: A driving control device receives power supply from an accessory battery to operate, controls automatic driving, and outputs a control signal. A steering ECU, a power ECU and a brake ECU instruct a steering mechanism, a PCU and a brake to operate based on the control signal, respectively. An emergency stop switch is operated by an operator. In a case where the emergency stop switch is operated, an interface processing device cuts off a switch to stop the power supply, shuts down the driving control device, and outputs a control signal that causes the steering mechanism, the PCU and the brake to perform an emergency stop operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hirohito Ide, Yuchi Yamanouchi, Masaki Shitara, Ryo Hattori, Satoshi Koganemaru, Takeshi Uraki, Shogo Nakata, Yasunori Imada

Publication number: 20180301293Abstract: Provided is an onboard load control device and a computer program that can reliably detect and extinguish an arc discharge occurring between a pair of terminals of a connector. Arc discharges are caused in advance between terminals of a connector 2 that relays connection to onboard loads, a wireless detection unit receives electromagnetic waves generated due to the arc discharges, and detects frequency distributions of received intensities, and the detected frequency distributions are stored in a ROM in association with the respective onboard loads. Thereafter, frequency distributions that are acquired by the wireless detection unit chronologically are compared with the frequency distributions stored in the ROM, and the electric current flowing to the onboard load that corresponds to the matching frequency distributions is interrupted.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2016Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Takeo Uchino, Takeshi Uraki, Junpei Horii, Yuuki Sugisawa, Kazunori Yamaguchi, Tatsuya Daidoji

Publication number: 20180269635Abstract: Provided is an electric conduction system and a male terminal that prevent arc discharge by cutting off power supply prior to the occurrence of arc discharge. The male terminal is connected to the female terminal of the electric conduction apparatus, and power is supplied from the electric conduction apparatus. The male terminal includes a first resistance portion having a resistance value R1 on its rear-end side and a second resistance portion having a resistance value R2 on its front-end side. Accordingly, the resistance value of the power supply path varies depending on the amount the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal. By determining whether the electric current amount varies in accordance with a change in the resistance value of the power supply path, the electric conduction apparatus can cut off power supply prior to the male terminal coming off the female terminal, thus preventing an arc discharge.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2016Publication date: September 20, 2018Inventors: Takeo Uchino, Takeshi Uraki, Yasuo Oomori

Patent number: 7551999Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide flexibility in modifying or updating a communication system and the like of a vehicle-mounted network, thus reducing processing loads on electrical components modules and the like. In the present invention, a connector device with communication-controlling capability takes charge of controlling a communication system of a vehicle-mounted network, so that an electrical components module is specialized for its inherent processing other than the communication system. A control program about the communication system is rewritably stored in a rewritable non-volatile storage device in the connector device with communication-controlling capability, and the communication system is modified or updated only by renewing the control program stored in the non-volatile storage device in the connector device with communication-controlling capability.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2005Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignees: Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Takeshi Uraki
