Operation handle structure of device

A driving assistance device comprises an information acquisition unit that acquires movement information including a vehicle category indicating that the other vehicle is of four- or two-wheeled type, and information relating to a position and a speed of the other vehicle. The information acquisition unit determines whether the other vehicle traveling behind the vehicle is of the four- or two-wheeled type on the basis of the vehicle category. If the other vehicle is a four-wheeled vehicle, the information acquisition unit acquires speed information of the four-wheeled vehicle from four-wheeled vehicles located within a first width range in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle. If the other vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle, the information acquisition unit acquires speed information of the two-wheeled vehicle from two-wheeled vehicles located within a second width range narrower than the first width range in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle.

Driving assistance device, driving assistance method, and storage medium

A control device that controls a straddle type vehicle, the control device comprising: a route information acquisition unit configured to acquire information of a scheduled travel route of the straddle type vehicle; a weather information acquisition unit configured to acquire weather information corresponding to the scheduled travel route; a determination unit configured to determine whether the scheduled travel route of the straddle type vehicle is to be affected by weather based on the weather information; and a control unit configured to control a function related to a traveling state of the straddle type vehicle, based on a determination result of the determination unit.

Control device, straddle type vehicle, operation method of control device, and storage medium

A straddle type vehicle comprising a rear fender arranged on an upper side of a rear wheel, and a monitoring device configured to monitor a traveling environment on the periphery of a vehicle, wherein the monitoring device includes a pair of sensors, the rear fender includes a sensor support member configured to support one of the pair of sensors on a left side of a vehicle body and the other on a right side of the vehicle body, the sensor support member includes a pair of left and right side wall portions, and a bottom wall portion configured to connect the pair of left and right side wall portions, and the pair of sensors are arranged along the pair of left and right side wall portions on the bottom wall portion.

Straddle type vehicle

The straddle type vehicle comprises an antenna that can receive a wireless signal of a predetermined frequency band, and a sensing unit for sensing a situation in front of the vehicle. A constituent component of the vehicle is arranged between the antenna and the sensing unit.

A straddle type vehicle comprises a front antenna configured to be capable of transmitting/receiving a wireless signal of a predetermined frequency band and arranged closer to a front side than a seating portion on which a rider can sit, and a rear antenna configured to be capable of transmitting/receiving a wireless signal of a predetermined frequency band and arranged closer to a rear side than the seating portion, the front antenna has directivity in the front side of the straddle type vehicle.

A straddle type vehicle comprising a vehicle body frame including a head pipe and a main frame extending from the head pipe to a rear side, and a headlight unit provided on a front side of the vehicle body frame, and further comprising a support stay fixed to the vehicle body frame to support a predetermined vehicle constituent component on the front side of the vehicle body frame, and a driving support sensor fixed to the support stay on a lower side of the headlight unit.

An information providing system for reducing the processing load when estimating a potential risk area when a vehicle is traveling is provided. The information providing system acquires heart rate data of an occupant of the vehicle acquired by a wearable terminal attached to the occupant. The information providing system estimates a potential risk area that is a cause to increase a heart rate based on the heart rate data acquired. The information providing system specifies a point in time a predetermined time before a point in time at which the heart rate indicated by the heart rate data increases, and estimates the position of the vehicle corresponding to the specified point in time as the potential risk area.

System for estimating potential risk area when vehicle is traveling

A straddle type vehicle comprises: a detection unit for detecting a condition of front of a vehicle; a cleaning member capable of cleaning the detection unit; and a movable apparatus for changing a position of the cleaning member in relation to the detection unit in a height direction of the vehicle, wherein the cleaning member, by the changing of the position, performs the cleaning by wiping with a portion of the detection unit where the cleaning unit contacts the detection unit.

A straddle type vehicle include a headlight unit configured to emit light ahead of a vehicle, and a detecting unit configured to detect a situation on a front side of the vehicle. The headlight unit includes a peripheral wall portion that defines an outer shape thereof. The peripheral wall portion includes a concave portion in which the detecting unit is arranged.

A fuel cell system and a stop method thereof are provided that can supply inert gas to the anode with a simple configuration during system stop. The method includes the steps of: cutting off new supply of fuel gas to the anode and discharge of discharge gas from the anode to outside after a stop command for the system (Sand S); continuing electric power generation by way of the stack in a state in which the supply and discharge of gas is cut off according to the step of cutting off (Sto S); storing, in a Nstorage portion, gas discharged to an air discharge line in the step of continuing (Steps Sto S); and introducing inert gas stored inside of the Nstorage portion to inside of a hydrogen supply line, after the step of continuing (Sto S).

Fuel cell system and stop method thereof

A combustion state detecting apparatus is provided for an engine having internal pressure sensor for detecting an internal pressure of a combustion chamber of the engine and crank angle detector for detecting a crank angle of the engine. The apparatus calculates a volume of the combustion chamber based on the crank angle detected by the crank angle detector and estimator for estimating a motoring pressure of the engine in accordance with a calculation equation using the calculated volume. The apparatus adjusts either of the pressure detected by the internal pressure sensor and the pressure estimated by the estimator during a compression stroke of the engine to minimize the error between the detected pressure and the estimated pressure. The apparatus determines a combustion state during a combustion stroke of the engine based on a relation between the pressure adjusted and the other pressure. The apparatus identifies parameters of the calculation equation during a compression stroke of the engine to minimize the error between the pressure detected by the internal pressure sensor and the pressure estimated by the estimator.
