In a vehicle sensor attaching structure in which a first sensor and second sensors for detecting an object outside a vehicle by sensor fusion are attached to the vehicle, the first sensor and the second sensors are disposed side by side in a uniaxial direction along a surface of the vehicle, and the one first sensor is disposed to be sandwiched between the two second sensors at equal intervals.

Vehicle sensor attaching structure and sensor control device

A target detection apparatus is configured to recognize a stationary object present within a detection range of an external sensor based on map information. Next, the target detection apparatus is configured to determine, by checking an image of the stationary object detected by the external sensor against the stationary object recognized from the map information, whether the image of the stationary object detected by the external sensor includes an undetected region. When the undetected region is identified, the target detection apparatus is configured to recognize an undetectable object present between the stationary object and a vehicle.

A driving support apparatus according to the invention estimates the position of a moving body by controlling a position estimation unit when the tracking-target moving body leaves a first area or a second area to enter a blind spot area and detects the position of the moving body by controlling a position detection unit when the moving body leaves the blind spot area to enter the first area or the second area. In this manner, the trajectory of the tracking-target moving body is calculated so that the trajectory of the moving body detected in the first area or the second area and the trajectory of the moving body estimated in the blind spot area are continuous to each other and driving support is executed based on the calculated trajectory of the tracking-target moving body.

Driving support apparatus

Provided is a vehicle sensor mounting structure by which a GNSS antenna and at least one external sensor are mounted on a roof of a vehicle, the at least one external sensor being configured to detect an external state of the vehicle. The vehicle sensor mounting structure includes: a first wiring hole into which a sensor wiring line of the at least one external sensor is drawn to be placed under the roof, the first wiring hole being formed in the roof; and a second wiring hole into which an antenna wiring line of the GNSS antenna is drawn to be placed under the roof, the second wiring hole being formed in the roof.

Vehicle sensor mounting structure

A sensor cleaning system cleans a sensor surface of an external sensor mounted on a vehicle. Specifically, the sensor cleaning system estimates a water droplet amount of a water droplet adhering to the sensor surface of the external sensor. The sensor cleaning system determines whether a cleaning start condition is satisfied based on the water droplet amount. The sensor cleaning system executes a cleaning process of cleaning the sensor surface when the cleaning start condition based on the water droplet amount is satisfied.

A new paint which makes it possible for a coating film to have both brightness and radiotransparency is demanded. The paint includes a flake, wherein the flake has a sea-island structure of including a plurality of island phases which are formed of metal, and a sea phase that is formed of resin or DLC, the sea phase linking the island phases to each other.

A vehicle information display device including: a subject detecting sensor, that detects a first object positioned in a surrounding area of the vehicle and a second object different from the object; a display portion, that has a display area that displays an object mark corresponded to the object to emphatically display the object detected by the subject detecting sensor, and displays the second object mark so that when a number of the second objects that are in the vicinity of the detected first object and are detected by the subject detecting sensor is large, the emphasizing degree of the vertical component of the second object mark is suppressed in comparison with the emphasizing degree of the vertical component of the first object mark when the number of the second objects is small or no second object is detected.

Vehicle information display device and vehicle information display method

An information display device for a vehicle includes a object detection sensor that detects a target object positioned around a host vehicle, and a display unit that displays a first object marker which is displayed so as to surround the target object detected by the object detection sensor on a display area positioned between a driver of the host vehicle and the target object, and in a case where a distance from the host vehicle to the target object is long, that displays a second object marker with a degree of emphasis of the vertical components suppressed compared to a degree of emphasis of the vertical components of the first object marker in a case where the distance from the host vehicle to the target object is short.

Information display device for vehicle and information display method for vehicle

When a vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a vehicle speed threshold value, a display displays an imaged image in which an icon is displayed at the position corresponding to the object as an overhead view display image. When the vehicle speed exceeds the vehicle speed threshold value, the display displays an icon display image in which the icon is displayed at the position corresponding to the object as the overhead view display image. Though the overhead view display image displayed on the display is switched between the imaged image and the icon display image according to the change of the vehicle speed, the icon representing the object can continuously be displayed.

Vehicle surroundings monitoring device

A driving support apparatus for ensuring consistency of content for multiple driving supports related to vehicle acceleration/deceleration. The driving support apparatus is provided with a follow-up running support unit for performing acceleration/deceleration support for a vehicle. A collision-avoidance support unit avoids a collision with a moving body when the relationship between the vehicle and a moving body having a movement path intersecting with the path of the vehicle is determined to meet support conditions for invoking collision-avoidance support. An estimation unit estimates that the relationship between the vehicle and the moving body meets the support conditions for invoking collision-avoidance support using the acceleration/deceleration support by the follow-up running support unit. An adjustment unit adjusts the degree of acceleration/deceleration support by the follow-up running support unit on the basis of the relationship between the vehicle and the moving body having been estimated to meet the support conditions.
