Abstract: A tire uniformity testing apparatus (1) measures uniformity of a tire (T) by measuring a load generated on the tire (T) pressed against a rotating rotary drum (2). A load model used to control a pressing position of the rotary drum (2) and express a relation between the pressing position of the tire (T) against the rotary drum (2) and a tire load generated in the tire (T) is configured to successively measure the tire load, while changing the pressing position of the tire (T) against the rotary drum (2), and to estimate the tire load using the measured value of the measured tire load.

Abstract: In a tire uniformity testing apparatus which measures uniformity of a tire by measuring a load applied to the tire pressed against a rotary drum, a load estimation model is generated which is used to control a pressing position of the rotary drum, and generates a load estimation model indicating a relation between the pressing position of the tire with respect to the rotary drum and the load applied to the tire. The load estimation model is generated by: holding the tire in which uniformity has already been measured for each characteristic value; acquiring a nominal model depending on the characteristic value of the tire; and generating based on the acquired nominal model.

Abstract: A tire and a drum are relatively moved so that a pressing load is increased, and stopped when the pressing load becomes a predetermined value lower than a target value. A value of the pressing load and a relative distance between the tire and the drum are measured at timings when a circumferential position of the tire is the same. A dynamic longitudinal spring constant of the tire is calculated by using change amounts of the pressing load and the relative distance. An adjustment amount serving as a distance by which the tire and the drum are relatively moved so that a value of the pressing load when relative movement is stopped becomes the target value is calculated by using the dynamic longitudinal spring constant and a difference between the arrival value and the target value. The tire and the drum are relatively moved by the adjustment amount.

Abstract: A tire testing machine of the present invention performs tests on a tire in a testing station, and prints a mark based on the test result in a predetermined mark position of the tire after undergoing the tests by means of a marking device. A controller of the tire testing machine previously stores therein the contents of the tests for performing the tests, and causes the testing machine to perform the tests according to a recipe. In order to freely set the marking setting conditions for marking in the marking device, the controller of the marking device previously stores therein a first marking setting condition as the recipe, and also stores therein a second marking setting condition different from the recipe by an input device as a script. Marking is performed according to the contents of the marking setting condition described in either the recipe or script selected.

Abstract: A vehicle driving assist system is configured to provide a driver with advanced notification regarding changes in the operating states of the controls when several controls are being executed. The vehicle driving assist system has a controller configured to execute an accelerator pedal actuation reaction force control based on a risk potential that indicates a degree of convergence between the host vehicle and a preceding obstacle and an automatic braking control based on the possibility of contact between the host vehicle and the preceding obstacle. When the automatic braking control will change from a low operating state to a high operating state while an actuation reaction force is being generated in the accelerator pedal in accordance with the risk potential, a pulsed supplemental reaction force is generated in the accelerator pedal and an alarm sound is generated.
