Abstract: A route generation device and a travel control device for suppressing a target route of a vehicle to be discontinuous before and after starting a lane change are obtained. A position obtaining unit obtains location information of the vehicle. A first route extraction unit extracts the target route as first points in sequence assuming that the vehicle continues to travel in the lane in which the vehicle is traveling before starting the lane change. The second route extraction unit extracts the target route a target route as second points in sequence assuming that the vehicle is currently traveling in an adjacent lane in which the vehicle travels after completing the lane change, and the vehicle continues to travel in the adjacent lane. The route calculation unit calculates the third points representing the target route.

Abstract: Provided is a collision avoidance apparatus that can avoid a collision through both steering and braking. In a collision avoidance apparatus, a no-entry zone defining unit defines a no-entry zone for preventing a subject vehicle from colliding with an obstacle around the subject vehicle, based on obstacle information including information on a position of the obstacle and based on lane information that is information on a traveling lane of the subject vehicle. A following determination unit determines whether the obstacle is an avoidance target or a following target, based on the position of the obstacle or a position of the no-entry zone. A constraint establishing unit establishes a constraint on a state quantity or a control input of the subject vehicle to prevent the subject vehicle from at least entering the no-entry zone.

Abstract: A path generation device and a vehicle control system capable of inhibiting generation of paths that make a vehicle unstable are provided. The path generation device includes a path generator that generates a plurality of paths along which a vehicle is to travel, in association with each piece of environment measurement data about a travel environment of the vehicle detected by a plurality of detectors; a reliability setting part that sets, for each of the generated paths, the reliability of the path in itself, the reliability corresponding to the degree to which a variation in the path falls within a predetermined range, and a path-weight setting part that sets the weight of each path on the basis of the reliability of the path.

Abstract: Provided is an obstacle avoidance apparatus that can specify a distance between a subject vehicle and an obstacle when making the subject vehicle avoid the obstacle. An obstacle avoidance apparatus includes: an obstacle movement predictor that predicts movement of the obstacle; and a constraint generator that establishes a constraint on a state quantity or a control input of the subject vehicle by determining whether to steer right or left around the obstacle and defining a no-entry zone for preventing the subject vehicle from colliding with the obstacle. The constraint generator incorporates, into the no-entry zone, an area to the left of the obstacle when determining to steer right around the obstacle, and incorporates, into the no-entry zone, an area to the right of the obstacle when determining to steer left around the obstacle.

Abstract: A resin pulley includes an outer cylindrical portion including an outer circumferential surface on which a belt is to be wound, an inner cylindrical portion, and a plurality of ribs connecting an inner circumferential surface of the outer cylindrical portion and an outer circumferential surface of the inner cylindrical portion, which are formed of a resin material. The ribs are provided so as to be inclined towards a circumferential direction relative to a radial imaginary line as viewed in an axial direction. Radially outer end portions of the ribs are formed such that inclination angles of the respective radially outer end portions relative to the radial imaginary line increase as the ribs extend radially outward, and radially inner end portions of the ribs are formed such that inclination angles of the respective radially inner end portions relative to the radial imaginary line increase as the ribs extend radially inward.

Abstract: A resin pulley includes: an outer cylindrical portion having an outer circumferential surface on which a belt is to be wound; an inner cylindrical portion which is disposed radially inwards of and concentrically with the outer cylindrical portion; and a plurality of ribs connecting an inner circumferential surface of the outer cylindrical portion and an outer circumferential surface of the inner cylindrical portion. The outer cylindrical portion, the inner cylindrical portion and the ribs are formed integrally from a resin material, and the ribs are provided in such a manner as to be inclined towards a circumferential direction relative to a radial imaginary line as viewed in an axial direction.
