A LiDAR sensor three-dimensionally scans laser light outward of the vehicle and receives reflected light. A LiDAR data analyzer groups three-dimensional points of the reflected light acquired by the LiDAR sensor into clusters. A precise docking control start determination unit compares shapes and reflectance distributions between at least one of the clusters obtained by the LiDAR data analyzer and a reference cluster representing a stop target to determine whether or not the at least one cluster includes the stop target.

Driving control apparatus for automated driving vehicle, stop target, and driving control system

A driving control device receives power supply from an accessory battery to operate, controls automatic driving, and outputs a control signal. A steering ECU, a power ECU and a brake ECU instruct a steering mechanism, a PCU and a brake to operate based on the control signal, respectively. An emergency stop switch is operated by an operator. In a case where the emergency stop switch is operated, an interface processing device cuts off a switch to stop the power supply, shuts down the driving control device, and outputs a control signal that causes the steering mechanism, the PCU and the brake to perform an emergency stop operation.

Remotely operated automatic driving vehicle with in-vehicle emergency stop feature

A power supply device for a vehicle seat, including: a power receiving unit that is provided in a vehicle seat and is connected to a plurality of loads in the vehicle seat; a power transmitting unit that contactlessly transmits power to the power receiving unit; and a power storage unit that is provided in the vehicle seat, is connected to the loads, and is charged via a power supply path formed by the power receiving unit and the power transmitting unit.

Power supply device for vehicle seat

A power supply device () for a seat that can slidably move relative to a rail () that is provided in the floor portion () of an automotive body, the power supply device () including: the power transmission unit () that is provided in the floor portion (); the rotation shaft portion () that is fixed to the seat, and serves as the rotation axis of the seat; and the power reception unit () that is fixed to the rotation shaft portion () and is configured to receive power from the power transmission unit ().

Power supply device

An object of the present invention is to provide flexibility in modifying or updating a communication system and the like of a vehicle-mounted network, thus reducing processing loads on electrical components modules and the like. In the present invention, a connector device with communication-controlling capability takes charge of controlling a communication system of a vehicle-mounted network, so that an electrical components module is specialized for its inherent processing other than the communication system. A control program about the communication system is rewritably stored in a rewritable non-volatile storage device in the connector device with communication-controlling capability, and the communication system is modified or updated only by renewing the control program stored in the non-volatile storage device in the connector device with communication-controlling capability.
