Abstract

When a low-voltage battery (23) has become exhausted, power necessary for starting is supplied to the vehicle side from a simple power source (25) connected to an ACC socket (24). The power of the simple power source (25) is supplied to respective power terminals (22c, 22d) of a DC/DC converter (22) or other loads (31, 32, 33), and is used in order to start the DC/DC converter (22). After the DC/DC converter (22) is started, power on a high-voltage battery (21) side is stepped down and supplied to the low-voltage battery (23) side, and the power supply route to the DC/DC converter (22) or other loads is switched. Switching is performed between a normal mode and an emergency start mode by using a mode switch (26) or a relay.

Abstract

The purpose of the invention is to facilitate starting a vehicle when a low-voltage battery runs out of charge in the vehicle. The electrical junction box (10) is equipped with a special simple power supply (25). An internal circuit of the electrical junction box (10) supplies the output of the simple power supply (25) as the operating voltage of a DC/DC converter to activate the DC/DC converter when the low voltage battery runs out. When the DC/DC converter is activated, high-voltage power stored in a high-voltage battery on the vehicle can be stepped down and supplied to a circuit on the low-voltage battery side, thereby enabling normal starting operations such as starting the engine. An emergency start mode can be selected by a user's switch operation or by automatic detection of power supply voltage drop.

Abstract

A vehicle display device 1 comprises: an image display device having a display surface on which an image is displayed; an optical system for projecting image display-light toward a reflective surface in front of the driver; and a control unit for controlling the image display device. The display surface has a first region 41 which is an area visible to both eyes of the driver and a second region 42 which is an area toward an edge side relative to the first region, in the image transverse direction GW on the display surface. The control unit causes the image display device to display a first image when the display position of the image is the first region, and causes the image display device to display a second image 50B when the display position of the image is a boundary between the first region and the second region. The second image has a pattern different from the first image and is constituted by the combination of a low-luminance portion and a high-luminance portion.

The display units (11) at the plurality of bases are connected to each other via a communication system. The display units (11) and the projection units (12) are provided with an input part that accepts input of one or more correction instructions indicating a change to, addition to, and/or deletion of the stereoscopic image. A correction instruction inputted at one base is transmitted to the display units (11) in the other bases via the communication system, and the correction instruction is reflected in the stereoscopic image projected by each projection unit (12).

Abstract

A fuel MS unit (2) acquires, from a fleet MS unit (2), a remainder that is detected by a remainder sensor by sampling at a prescribed interval and sequentially calculates the average value of the most recently sampled remainder and the remainders sampled a prescribed number of times previously. The fuel MS unit (3) calculates a smoothed average value by sequentially correcting the most recently calculated average value to reduce the difference between the most recently calculated average value and the previously calculated average value and detects fuel theft on the basis of the smoothed average value. When it has been determined that refueling has occurred or that fuel has been stolen while an ignition was off, the fuel MS unit (3) uses the uncorrected most recently calculated average value as the smoothed average value.

The health state determination unit (113) determines the health state of the user at present and at predetermined points in time in the future on the basis of the estimation information. The output unit (114) outputs the result of the determination by the health state determination unit (113).

Abstract

A server (40) provides a communication service such that some of various driver management tasks utilized by a transport company (10) for the driving of vehicles (20) are carried out at the server (40) side on behalf of the transport company. When a request from a consignor (30) has been received by the transport company (10), the server (40) or the like creates a transport plan. When freight is transported in a vehicle (20), the server (40) monitors information transmitted by onboard equipment of the subject vehicle (20), such as the position thereof, to manage the transport status. When a status involving a certain level of abnormality has been detected, the onboard equipment or the like issues a preliminary alert or an alert to the driver as instructed by the server (40). The server (40) preferentially notifies a transport management terminal (11) of important vehicle statuses that an administrator of the transport company (10) should be aware of.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a vehicular display device that can easily determine a wearing state of polarized sunglasses of the driver. [Solution] A vehicular display device 1 includes a polarizer 30 which is installed in front of a lens 12 of a camera 11 that continually acquires face images of a driver P and which is installed so that the direction of polarization is in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction. The vehicular display device 1 has a control unit 22 that calculates a luminance value corresponding to each of the face images and causes a storage means 27 to store the calculated luminance value associated in a time series as luminance value information. Thereafter, the control unit 22 compares, of the plurality of pieces luminance value information stored in the storage means 27, the current luminance value information and the past luminance value information with each other and determines that the driver P has worn polarized sunglasses when the current luminance value information has decreased.
