  • Publication number: 20150307091
    Abstract: A vehicle acceleration suppression device and a vehicle acceleration suppression method, capable of activating acceleration suppression control appropriately, include a travel controller configured to determine a type of the obstacle (such as a wall, another vehicle, an edge stone, or a natural thing) based on at least a first-time detection distance that is the distance between a vehicle and an obstacle detected for the first time and a height determination distance that is the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle detected when the obstacle is determined to be a tall obstacle. Then, acceleration suppression control is carried out in a control manner depending on the determined type of the obstacle when it is determined that the vehicle has approached the obstacle at an approach degree equal to or higher than a predefined approach degree based on the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.

  • Publication number: 20150291030
    Abstract: A total certainty factor indicating a total degree of certainty of the parking frame certainty degree and the parking frame entering certainty degree is calculated based on a parking frame certainty degree indicating the degree of certainty that a parking frame is present in a travel direction of a vehicle, and a parking frame entering certainty degree indicating the degree of certainty that the vehicle enters the parking frame. When the total certainty factor is low, acceleration of the vehicle controlled according to an operation amount of an accelerator pedal for instructing a driving force by operation of a driver is suppressed with a low suppression degree, as compared with a case where the total certainty factor is high. Further, the acceleration of the vehicle is suppressed with a lower suppression degree as the vehicle speed of the vehicle is higher.

  • Publication number: 20150284000
    Abstract: Based on a parking frame certainty degree indicative of a degree of certainty about a presence is a parking frame in the travel direction of the vehicle and a parking frame entering certainty degree indicative of a degree of certainty about whether the vehicle enters the parking frame, a total certainty degree indicative of a total degree of the certainty of the parking frame certainty degree and the parking frame entering certainty degree is calculated. Acceleration of the vehicle is controlled depending on a manipulation amount of an accelerator pedal manipulated by a drive to instruct a driving force and is suppressed in a higher suppression degree as the total certainty degree is higher. Furthermore, the acceleration of the vehicle is suppressed in a lower suppression degree as the vehicle speed of the vehicle is higher.

  • Publication number: 20150274179
    Abstract: An acceleration/deceleration erroneous operation determination device improves determination accuracy on whether or not a driver is erroneously performing an accelerator operation instead of a brake operation. A pedal opening degree by a driver and a continuation time for which the pedal opening degree is greater than an opening degree threshold value are detected. When the continuation time exceeds a time threshold value, it is determined that the driver is erroneously performing an accelerator operation instead of a brake operation. A vehicle speed of a vehicle, a rising gradient of a road surface, and an accelerator operation time operated by the driver are detected. The opening degree threshold value is made variable in accordance with the vehicle speed, the rising gradient, and the operation time. The time threshold value is made variable in accordance with the vehicle speed, the rising gradient, and the operation time.

  • Publication number: 20150202094
    Abstract: A wearing article improved so that an absorbent structure is not apt to be spaced away from the wearer's skin but stuffiness in the wearing article and/or eruption of the wearer's skin can be reliably prevented, which wearing article is a diaper that includes a front waist panel, a rear waist panel and a crotch panel. In the front and rear waist panels, elastics are respectively attached to front and rear waist sheets. The crotch panel includes an absorbent structure containing liquid-absorbent core material and, outboard of the absorbent structure as viewed in a longitudinal direction, front and rear end flaps are formed respectively. The crotch panel includes a first region which includes a front end of the absorbent structure and the front end flap and overlaps with the front waist panel and a second region which includes a front end of the absorbent structure and the rear end flap and overlaps with the rear waist panel.

  • Patent number: 8977463
    Abstract: A vehicle brake controller is capable of executing limit control for limiting increase in braking force applied to front wheels by using a deceleration of a vehicle. The vehicle brake controller is configured to start the limit control when the deceleration of the vehicle becomes greater than or equal to a start determination value before a start determination time period elapses after a deceleration starting point in time, at which the deceleration of the vehicle is started by application of braking force at least to the front wheels. The vehicle brake controller is configured to end the limit control if the deceleration of the vehicle is less than an end determination value, which is greater than the start determination value, at a point in time when an end determination time period, which is longer than the start determination time period, has elapsed from the deceleration starting point in time.
