Abstract: A vehicle allocation control device, when a forgotten item in the vehicle is detected after setting a first travel route including a drop-off place, is configured to: calculate a first time at which the vehicle arrives at the drop-off place by travelling along the set first travel route, set at least one second travel route which is different from the first travel route and goes through a facility for depositing the forgotten item, calculate a second time at which the vehicle arrives at the drop-off place by travelling along the second travel route, and change the first travel route to the second travel route where a time difference between the first time and the second time is equal to or less than a permissible time.

Abstract: A suspension device for an in-wheel motor driven wheel is provided. An upper suspension arm is pivotally supported on the vehicle body for supporting the wheel in a vehicle upper position higher than an axle. A link member pivotally connects the wheel to the upper suspension arm and has an absorber connecting portion connected to a lower end of the shock absorber. The shock absorber connecting portion is disposed in the vehicle bottom position lower than an upper end portion of the in-wheel motor unit. The shock absorber is disposed between the vehicle body and the in-wheel motor unit and inclined so as to be closer to the vehicle body toward the lower end.

Abstract: A suspension device for an in-wheel motor driven wheel ensures a lever ratio and stroke of a shock absorber without setting the upper end portion of the shock absorber at a high position. A wheel driven by an in-wheel motor unit is suspended on a vehicle body via a suspension structure member and a shock absorber, the suspension structure member including an upper suspension arm pivotally supported with respect to the vehicle body, and a third link. The third link pivotally connects the upper suspension arm to the wheel while having a shock absorber connecting portion to which the lower end of the shock absorber is connected. Further, the shock absorber connecting portion is disposed in the vehicle bottom position lower than an upper end surface of the in-wheel motor unit.

Abstract: A motor power feed wire routing structure for an in-wheel motor driven wheel includes an electrical connection that electrically connects a motor side feed wire extending from the motor and a vehicle body-side feed wire extending from a vehicle mounted power source such that the vehicle body-side feed wire is rotatably connected relative to the motor side feed wire. The electrical connection mechanism is disposed on the knuckle outside of a space of a wheel recess of the wheel. The configuration allows reduction of whirling of the vehicle body-side wire during steering operation.

Abstract: A brake equipment of the driver-seat-direction changeable vehicle includes: a driver-seat-direction detector configured to detect whether the driver seat is facing the one or the other side, in the travel direction, of the wheel-side vehicle body; a braking unit configured to brake one-side wheels, which are located closer to the one side, in the travel direction, of the wheel-side vehicle body, and other-side wheels, which are located closer to the other side, in the travel direction, of the wheel-side vehicle body, while controlling brake-force distribution between brake forces of the one-side wheels and the other-side wheels in such a manner that the brake-force distribution becomes a set brake-force distribution based on ideal brake-force distribution characteristics; and a switching unit configured to change the set brake-force distribution in accordance with the direction of the driver seat detected by the driver-seat-direction detector.

Abstract: A hydraulic booster brake system includes a flow priority valve connected to a discharge portion of a hydraulic pump. To the flow priority valve are connected a brake booster and a power steering booster in parallel. The flow priority valve supplies a stipulated flow quantity of a hydraulic fluid in a total flow quantity of the hydraulic fluid discharged by the hydraulic pump to the brake booster by priority. A relief valve is provided between a brake port and a drain port. A valve body of the relief valve can adjust a relief pressure by turning a screw shaft for relief pressure adjustment.
