A parking support device configured to support an automatic valet parking of a vehicle includes: an abnormality determiner configured to determine a presence or absence of an abnormality in an automatically driven vehicle when the automatically driven vehicle moves in a parking facility by automatic driving; and a notification instructor configured to issue, when determining an abnormality, a notification instruction for a portable terminal device held by a user of the automatically driven vehicle, notifying contents including (i) collection information indicating a collection position where the user should collect the automatically driven vehicle, and (ii) prompter information prompting that the user should go to the collection position.

Abnormality determination parking support device, method, and system

An electrical component control device controls an operation state of at least one electrical component mounted in an autonomous vehicle. The electrical component control device comprises a request determination unit that determines whether a movement request for moving the autonomous vehicle in a state where a user is not in the autonomous vehicle is received; an operation restraining unit that restrains operations of multiple target electrical components representing an electrical component that acts on five senses of the user when the autonomous vehicle is instructed to move in response to the movement request; an operation state recording unit that records operation states of the multiple target electrical components; and a state restoring unit that restores the operation states of the multiple target electrical components to the operation states of the multiple target electrical components recorded in the memory, before the user gets on the autonomous vehicle.

Control device, parking lot system, and positional accuracy calculation method

An ECU causes an injector to implement multiple split injections during a combustion cycle and to implement a final split injection among the split injections in the latter half of the compression stroke. The ECU further sets a time interval between the injection timing for the final split injection and the ignition timing of an ignition plug at a constant time in a region in which the fuel pressure is the same. Then, the ECU sets a crank angle position based on the time interval and a rotational speed of an output shaft.

Internal combustion engine control device

A control device includes a drive unit configured to supply electric power to a fuel injection valve to perform valve open drive to supply fuel to a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine; and a correction unit configured to correct a fuel injection amount of the fuel injection valve. The correction unit is configured to learn the fuel injection amount of the fuel injection valve when NOx purge is performed to reduce and purify the NOx occlusion catalyst.

Control device

An air-fuel ratio control device sets a target air-fuel ratio and performs an air-fuel ratio control based on the target air-fuel ratio for an engine of a spark ignition type. The air-fuel ratio control device includes a lean combustion determination unit that determines whether a lean combustion is performed in the engine at the target air-fuel ratio, the target air-fuel ratio being set leaner than the theoretical air-fuel ratio; a target NOx setting unit that sets a target NOx concentration according to an operation state of the engine; an acquisition unit that acquires an actual NOx concentration detected by using a NOx concentration detection unit in an exhaust passage of the engine; and a correction unit that corrects the target air-fuel ratio based on the target NOx concentration and the actual NOx concentration when determination is made that lean combustion is performed.
