Abstract: A method to determine the load sharing a router should use on its outgoing links for traffic to each destination. It is based on link weights and lengths of shortest paths as calculated by ordinary IP routing protocols. To decide the load sharing on the outgoing links for traffic to a certain destination t, the router n, calculates an expression depending on the link weight wa of outgoing link and the difference of the distances from n to t and that from the adjacent router na to t. The expression also depends on a parameter alpha between 0 and 1 such that a lower value will allow more alternative paths. The load sharing applied by router n is then to share the traffic for destination t on the outgoing links in proportion to the calculated values.

Abstract: In a travel safety system for a vehicle: a preceding vehicle
V1 in a travel direction of a subject vehicle V is detected by
a radar device; an overlap amount δ (smaller one of δ(L) and δ(R)),
at which the preceding vehicle V1 overlaps a predicted course for
the subject vehicle V, is calculated; and when time for which the
overlap amount δ exceeding a predetermined value exceeds a
predetermined period, it is determined that there is a possibility
that the subject vehicle V comes into contact with the preceding
vehicle V1, and a safety system comprising a warning or an automatic
braking is actuated. Thus, if it is determined that there is a
possibility of contact between the subject vehicle V and the
preceding vehicle V1 due to course change of the subject vehicle
V or the preceding vehicle, it is possible to prevent the safety
system from being unnecessarily actuated to provide a sense of
discomfort to a driver.
