  • Patent number: 7781906
    Abstract: A drive of a steering-lock actuator is controlled such that a lock member takes a steering lock state from a steering unlock state if there occurs a change in the state of a vehicle door detected by a door-state detecting device and a stop state of the vehicle is detected by a vehicle-stop-state detecting device when an ignition switch is in an OFF state (step S7). A power supply to the vehicle-stop-state detecting device is made stop if the ignition switch is turned to the OFF state from an ON state (step S2), and the power supply to the vehicle-stop-state detecting device resumes if there occurs the change in the state of the vehicle door detected by the door-state detecting device when the ignition switch is in the OFF state (step S4).

  • Patent number: 7652560
    Abstract: A radar device is configured to transmit an electric wave and receives a reflected wave that is generated by a reflection of the electric wave on an object, and to recognize the object is a potential obstacle that is to be hit by the vehicle when a received intensity of the reflected wave thereby is a specified threshold or more. And, the specified threshold has a plurality of preset values. Accordingly, a determination as to whether or not the obstacle detected by the radar device is the potential obstacle to be hit by the vehicle can be accurately made.

  • Publication number: 20080079629
    Abstract: There are provided a radar device that transmits a frequency modulation-continuous wave (FM-CW) and outputs an up-beat frequency and a down-beat frequency, a pairing processing section that conducts pairing of the up-beat frequency and the down-beat frequency at specified sampling intervals, a target-object detecting section that detects target objects around the vehicle, obtaining a distance from the vehicle to the target object and a relative speed between the vehicle and the target object based on the up-beat frequency and down-beat frequency that are paired, and a prediction processing section that obtains a prediction data for each target object for a next sampling timing. The pairing processing section conducts the pairing with priority to a specified target object that has a high certainty of the prediction data. Thereby, the pairing of the up-beat and down-beat frequencies can be conducted precisely and quickly.
