  • Patent number: 9778046
    Abstract: A vehicle trajectory calculation method is provided. In the vehicle trajectory calculation method, a travel trajectory of a vehicle in a travel route is calculated based on a GPS signal received at predetermined time intervals with a GPS receiver of the vehicle during traveling. When there is an unmeasurable section where the travel trajectory cannot be normally calculated based on the GPS signal, the travel trajectory in the unmeasurable section is calculating by performing an interpolation based on the calculated travel trajectories in sections anterior to and posterior to the unmeasurable section.

  • Patent number: 9638529
    Abstract: In this vehicle orientation detection method detecting the orientation of a vehicle on the basis of measurement data obtained at prescribed time intervals, as long as a speed sensed by a vehicle speed sensor is less than a threshold speed, the vehicle orientation is detected on the basis of a yaw rate sensed by a yaw rate sensor. If the speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor is greater than or equal to the threshold speed, a drift determination is performed. If not determined to be in a drift state, the vehicle orientation is detected on the basis of signals received by a GPS receiver, and if determined to be in a drift state, the vehicle orientation is detected on the basis of the yaw rate sensed by the yaw rate sensor.

    Abstract: Various sensors, such as a GPS and a vehicle speed sensor, are used to detect a current position and direction of a vehicle. A normal running direction, which is a running direction specified for a road on which the vehicle runs, is acquired. In a state where a vehicle speed pulse is acquired at the predetermined intervals, it is detected whether the vehicle is placed in a wrong-way driving situation on the basis of the detected current direction of the vehicle and the normal running direction; whereas, in a state where a vehicle speed pulse is not acquired, it is not detected whether the vehicle is placed in the wrong-way driving situation on the basis of the detected current direction of the vehicle.
