A vehicular braking/driving-force control apparatus includes an accelerator operation detection part configured to detect an accelerator operation; a driving-force limiting apparatus configured to carry out driving-force limiting control of limiting driving force of an own vehicle in such a manner that an upper-limit speed that is set will not be exceeded; an automatic braking control apparatus configured to carry out automatic braking control of automatically generating braking force in the own vehicle based on a relative distance or a relative speed between an obstacle in front of the own vehicle and the own vehicle, and have a cancellation function of inhibiting a start of the automatic braking control based on the accelerator operation; and a control part configured to inhibit the cancellation function from being executed when the driving-force limiting apparatus is in an activated state where the driving-force limiting apparatus is allowed to carry out the driving-force limiting control.

Vehicular braking/driving-force control apparatus

Provided is a fuel supply device for an internal combustion engine. When fuel pressure in a high-pressure fuel pipe changes as a result of the driving of a high-pressure pump, the changing fuel pressure propagates as pulsation into a low-pressure fuel pipe. A degree of influence of propagation of pulsation decreases as fuel pressure in the low-pressure fuel pipe increases. When the high-pressure pump is in an operating state where the degree of influence of the pulsation of the fuel pressure propagating from the high-pressure fuel pipe on the fuel pressure in the low-pressure fuel pipe is high, boost control for driving a feed pump to raise the fuel pressure in the low-pressure fuel pipe is executed.

Groove formation portions that define insertion grooves are located in two opposing inner sides of an opening of a main cover. Engagement shafts are located on side portions of the sub-cover that oppose the inner sides. The engagement shafts are insertable into the insertion grooves from an outside and have a thickness that is larger than a groove width of the insertion grooves. The groove formation portions are elastic and deformable to allow insertion of the engagement shafts when the engagement shafts are inserted from the outside. The groove formation portions elastically return to their original forms after insertion of the engagement shafts to engage the engagement shafts and restrict separation of the engagement shafts in a reverse direction. The groove formation portions support the sub-cover to allow the sub-cover to open while engaged with the engagement shafts.

A fuel supply apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a fuel pump, a fuel pipe, a reduction valve, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to drive the fuel pump to rotate such that a required flow rate of the fuel is realized, while adjusting the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe to a target value, by driving the fuel pump to rotate. The electronic control unit is configured to operate the reduction valve to be opened when the operation state of the fuel pump is a first operation state. The first operation state is the operation state of the fuel pump where the frequency of the fuel pump has a value within a resonance area.

A vehicle forward information acquiring device includes a bracket fixed to a windshield, a cover mounted to the bracket by being moved along the bracket in one direction, and a vehicle forward information acquiring sensor accommodated between the bracket and the cover. The cover is mounted to the bracket while being pressed against the bracket by a first elastic force and a second elastic force generated when a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion formed on the cover are respectively engaged with a first engaged portion and a second engaged portion formed on the bracket. A position of the cover on the bracket when the first elastic force becomes a maximum value is different from a position of the cover on the bracket when the second elastic force becomes a maximum value.

A vehicle control system includes: an anti-collision safety control unit executing anti-collision safety control for avoiding or alleviating a collision with an object including a reflection point on the basis of positional information about the reflection point, output from a positional information output unit; and a cancellation unit calculating an index value that increases with a duration of a state where a variation in a position of the reflection point in a direction perpendicular to a vehicle travelling direction is smaller than a predetermined amount and that, when the index value exceeds a threshold, issues a command such that the anti-collision safety control unit does not execute anti-collision safety control over the reflection point. When it is determined that the vehicle is travelling near a curve entrance, the cancellation unit increases the threshold as compared with when it is determined that the vehicle is not travelling near a curve entrance.

The present invention is intended to provide a technique which is capable of detecting a collision position of a moving object crossing a road and a subject vehicle with a higher degree of accuracy. In the present invention, in cases where the moving object crossing the road into which the subject vehicle has entered is detected at the time when the subject vehicle has turned to the right or to the left, the direction of a moving vector of the moving object is fixed to a direction which is set based on a shape of the road into which the subject vehicle has turned to the right or to the left. Then, the collision position of the moving object and the subject vehicle is predicted based on this moving vector of which the direction is fixed.
