Abstract: A driving-force distribution device is provided that can supply lubricant to an above-positioned pinion gear among a pair of pinion gears even when rotation of a differential case of a differential mechanism stops in a two-wheel-drive mode of a four-wheel-drive vehicle. A driving-force distribution device mounted on a four-wheel-drive vehicle includes a differential mechanism and a clutch mechanism. The differential mechanism includes a differential case, a pinion shaft, a pair of pinion gears, and a pair of side gears. In the pinion shaft, a flow passage is formed through which a lubricant is allowed to flow from the below-positioned pinion gear among the pair of pinion gears toward the above-positioned pinion gear in the two-wheel-drive mode in which the pair of pinion gears rotate in opposite directions with the differential case not rotating. The lubricant is supplied to the flow passage by rotation of the below-positioned pinion gear.

Abstract: A driving assistance device includes a controller configured to perform presentation of driving assistance information regarding a signalized intersection to a driver of a vehicle by causing a display unit to display an assistance image. The controller is configured to, when a road distance up to a signalized intersection where the driver of the vehicle is scheduled to enter is less than a threshold distance, prohibit the presentation of the driving assistance information to the driver, the presentation being performed by displaying the assistance image including an image indicating information regarding a predicted light color of a traffic signal installed at the corresponding signalized intersection.

Abstract: An alert ECU acquires intersection information representing a situation of an intersection (target intersection) where a host vehicle will enter. The alert ECU excludes the leftward and rightward orientations from assistance-target orientations when the target intersection is grade separated, when a traffic light is installed at the target intersection, when a median strip is installed in the target intersection along the host vehicle traveling direction, or when a stop sign is not installed at the target intersection. As a result, an alert to a driver for a target vehicle is inhibited when the target vehicle is approaching the host vehicle from an orientation in which it is estimated that the target vehicle cannot collide with the host vehicle and when the target vehicle is approaching the host vehicle from an orientation in which it is estimated that the target vehicle will not collide with the host vehicle for regulatory reasons.

Abstract: A support processor performs driving support processing of outputting a warning when it is judged that there is a possibility of collision between a subject vehicle and another vehicle based on subject vehicle information acquired by a subject vehicle information acquirer and another vehicle information acquired by an another vehicle information acquirer. A subject vehicle information predictor predicts an arrival time required until a subject vehicle arrives at an intersection based on subject vehicle information. A preceding vehicle information predictor predicts the position of a preceding vehicle at the time when a predicted arrival time elapses, based on preceding vehicle information acquired by a preceding vehicle information acquirer. A support execution determiner determines whether to permit or forbid the support processor to perform driving support processing according to a predicted position of a preceding vehicle.
