Abstract: A traveling path generation apparatus includes an information acquisition section, a road determination section, and a path generation section. In response to the road determination section determining that there are curved paths, the path generation section generates an expected traveling path by correcting a lane traveling path such that a radius of curvature of each cornering line exceeds a radius of curvature of the corresponding curved path.

Abstract: A driving support apparatus derives position prediction data when T=Tn, which is when a predicted time Tn has elapsed from the present time, based on acquired map data, position data and speed data. Direction prediction data indicating a traveling direction of a vehicle 1 at the time T=Tn is derived based on acquired map data and derived position prediction data. A yaw angle which is an angle formed by a traveling direction D0 represented by e direction data and the traveling direction Dn represented by direction prediction data is derived. A target speed Vn of the vehicle is then derived.

Abstract: A traveling control apparatus acquires a shape of a road on which an own vehicle is to travel, and, in the case where the shape of the road changes from a straight road to a curved road, the apparatus calculates an upper limit speed, which prevents the own vehicle from skidding off outside the curved road when the own vehicle travels on the curved road, as a target speed. The traveling control apparatus decelerates the own vehicle from a deceleration start position so that the own vehicle enters the curved road at a constant speed at a time point when the own vehicle enters the curved road. The traveling control apparatus sets the target speed after acceleration has finished when the own vehicle exits the curved road and reaches an acceleration start position, and accelerates the own vehicle from the acceleration start position to an acceleration completion position.

Abstract: The travelling road information generation system is provided with a map data acquiring unit, a locus data acquiring unit, a correction amount calculation unit, and a travelling road information generation unit. The map data acquiring unit acquires map data including a travelling road on which the vehicle is capable of travelling, and the locus data acquiring unit acquires locus data indicating a running locus when the vehicle actually travels on the travelling road. The correction amount calculation unit calculates, based on the locus data, a correction amount necessary for generating travelling road information from the map data, the travelling road information being suitable for travelling of the vehicle, and the travelling road information generation unit corrects the travelling road acquired from the map data using the correction amount to generate the travelling road information.

Abstract: In a structure of an in-vehicle audio device, the audio system has an audio signal supplying section, an audio signal processing section, a balance adjustment section and an audio signal output section. A right audio signal processing section and a left audio signal processing section in the audio signal processing section perform a process of filtering audio signals supplied from the audio signal supplying section on the basis of a transfer function. The transfer function contains a head related transfer function H(s), a space transmission compensation function G0(s)?1 and a vehicle height compensation function G1(s). The space transmission compensation function G0(s)?1 is an inverse function of a space transfer function G0(s). A filtering process for the audio signal is performed by using the transfer function to guide a driver's visual line to be decreased when a vehicle height is high, and increased when the vehicle height is low.
