Abstract
Description
実施の形態1.
図1は、この発明の実施の形態1による車両用センサシステムの構成を示すブロック図である。図1において、実施の形態1による車両用センサシステム1は、物体検出センサ4、ドアミラーコントローラ5、車速センサ6、制御部7、物体検知判定部12及び動的障害物検知判定部13を備える。
(1)駐車区画エリアの探索
図3は、図1中の車両用センサシステムによる駐車区画エリアの探索処理を説明するための図である。図3において、車両14a,14bは、道路脇に停車している他車両であり、車両14を車両14a,14b間に縦列駐車する場合を示している。また、車両14は、図3中の矢印方向に走行しているものとする。
運転者が車両14を停車すると、車速判定部11は、自車両14が停止(速度0km/h)したことを探索頻度決定部10へ通知する。一方、ドアミラーコントローラ5は、車両14の停車後に駆動指令を入力するとドアミラー2を閉状態にする。なお、駆動指令は、例えば運転者のボタンスイッチ操作やイグニッションキーのオフに応じて入力することが考えられる。ドアミラー開閉判定部8は、ドアミラー2が閉状態にされたことを判定すると、この旨を探索頻度決定部10へ通知する。
探索頻度決定部10は、ドアミラー開閉判定部8、車速判定部11及び動的障害物検知判定部13の各判定結果に応じて物体検出センサ4の探索頻度を決定する。
図4は、車両駐車判定、動的障害物検知及び動的障害物判定の各処理における探索頻度を時系列に示す図である。図4に示す車両駐車判定は、車速判定部11から探索頻度決定部10へ送信される判定信号であり、車両14が停車(速度0km/h)するとオンになる。車速判定部11の判定信号がオフのとき、車両用センサシステム1は、駐車区画エリアの探索モードで動作しており、図4に示すように高い探索頻度で探索が行われている。
図5は、物体検出センサの取り付け態様を示す図である。図5に示すように、ドアミラー2の筐体先端部(物体検出センサ4a)、上部(物体検出センサ4b)、下部(物体検出センサ4c)のうちの少なくとも1つの位置に取り付ける。
上記実施の形態1では、物体検出センサの探索範囲を規定する探索頻度を変更する場合を示したが、この実施の形態2では、走行時と停車時のシステムの動作モードの違いに応じて、物体検出センサの探索範囲を規定する検知距離及び指向角度を変更する。
(1)探索範囲を規定する超音波の指向角度の変更
図10は、超音波の指向角度を変更可能な物体検出センサの構成を示す断面図であり、図10(a)は広指向角度とした場合を示し、図10(b)は狭指向角度とした場合を示している。図10に示す物体検出センサ4Aは、超音波を発生する振動子19を設けた超音波センサユニット20と弾性部材からなる反射機構部21を円筒状のケース22内に収納した構成を有している。超音波センサユニット20は、不図示の支持部材によって、図10中の白抜きの矢印で示す超音波の進行方向に沿った位置が固定されている。
超音波の指向性は送信周波数をパラメータとして調節することができる。例えば、円形振動子の場合、超音波の指向性は、下記式(1)から求められる。但し、θは指向角度、kは定数、λは超音波の波長、Dは振動子の口径である。また、Cを音速、fを振動周波数とすると、λ=C/fである。
θ=tan-1(k・λ/D) ・・・(1)
図12は、物体検出センサの振動子回路のインピーダンスと超音波の送信周波数の関係を示すグラフである。図12に示すように、共振周波数frで振動子回路のインピーダンスが最も低い。一方、共振周波数fr以外の周波数f1,f2などでは、図12中に破線で示すようにインピーダンスが大きい。物体検出センサ4を低電圧送信パルスで駆動させる場合、送信周波数を周波数f1,f2にすれば送信効率が低下し、反射信号の受信レベルが小さくなる。つまり、物体検出センサ4の検知距離を短くすることができる。
図13は、超音波の送信電圧と送信パルス幅によって検知距離を変更する処理を説明するための図であり、超音波センサの駆動波形を示している。図13(a)は、超音波の送信効率が最適化された駆動波形を示しており、超音波の送信電圧がV1、送信パルス幅がt1、送信パルス間隔がt2である。この関係で物体検出センサ4の検知距離が最も長くなる。
図14は、この発明の実施の形態3による車両用センサシステムの構成を示すブロック図である。実施の形態3による車両用センサシステムは、上記実施の形態1で示した構成に対して車両の駐車状態を判定するAND回路部(駆動指令通知部)24を設けたものである。なお、図14において、図1と同一構成要素には同一符号を付し説明を省略する。
図15は、この発明の実施の形態4による車両用センサシステムの組み合わせ判定部を示す図である。組み合わせ判定部25は、上記実施の形態1で説明した図1の構成に追加することにより、動的障害物の判定結果とイモビライザの接近判定結果とを組み合わせて警報の発報又は解除や探索頻度の判定を実行する。
