Title:
VEHICLE WITH ELECTRICALLY-DRIVEN SLOPE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023084798
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a vehicle with an electrically-driven slope which notifies a person having high possibility in entering spread area of the electrically-driven slope when the electrically-driven slope is extended of existence of the slope through a light-emitting device, and reduces a trouble of the light-emitting device from a person having low possibility in entering the spread area of the electrically-driven slope.SOLUTION: An approaching object detection part 42 detects, based on a detection signal of a sensor 28 detecting an object around a vehicle 10, an object approaching to a slope which exists within a prescribed distance from a spread area 24 of an electrically-driven slope 20 and is approaching to the spread area 24. A light-emitting control part 44 makes, when the approaching object detection part 42 detects the object approaching to the slope at the time of extending the electrically-driven slope 20, a light-emitting device 26 emit light in a first light-emitting pattern, and makes, when the approaching object detection part 42 detects no object approaching to the slope at the time of extending the electrically-driven slope 20, a light-emitting device 26 emit light in a second light-emitting pattern that is not noticeable in comparison with the first light-emitting pattern.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
