A vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle includes one or more processors to detect an object around the vehicle based on external environment information and generate three-dimensional object information and information on a plurality of split regions, and set a damage degree to each of the plurality of split regions depending on an estimated magnitude of damage at an estimated time of collision of the vehicle. The one or more processors record information on a plurality of host vehicle split regions, and a host vehicle damage degree set to each of the plurality of host vehicle split regions depending on an estimated magnitude of damage at an estimated time of collision of the object and control travel of the vehicle to minimize a collision damage degree corresponding to the damage degree and a product of the damage degree and the host vehicle damage degree.

Vehicle control device

It is possible to reduce inadvertent vehicle behavior during autonomous driving. A vehicle position detection device includes: a satellite positioning position calculation unitthat receives a satellite positioning position signal of a vehicle and calculates a satellite positioning position of the vehicle; an autonomous navigation position calculation unitthat receives an autonomous navigation position signal of the vehicle and calculates an autonomous navigation position of the vehicle; a distance calculation unitthat calculates a positional difference between the satellite positioning position and the autonomous navigation position; a recording unit that stores a plurality of parameter sets in which a plurality of thresholds for allowing a positional difference for each speed of the vehicle are set per vehicle characteristic; a selection unitthat selects a parameter set according to the vehicle characteristic from a plurality of parameter setstostored in the recording unit; and a determination unitthat outputs the satellite positioning position when the positional difference is within the threshold, and outputs the autonomous navigation position when the positional difference is out of the threshold.

Vehicle position detection device and parameter set creation device for vehicle position detection

A cellular phone is provided with a melody sound reproducing unit comprising: a speaker for providing specified output in a range between a first frequency and a second frequency; a signal generator for supplying an audio signal to the speaker; a memory for storing signal data corresponding to an audio signal to be generated by the signal generator; and a controller for controlling the signal generator based on the signal data, wherein the signal data is stored in the memory when the frequency of the corresponding audio signal is in a range between the first frequency and the second frequency, and the audio signal whose frequency is in a range between the first frequency and the second frequency is supplied to the speaker.
