Abstract: A device receives historical map data, and receives, during a time period, location data associated with a location of a vehicle. The device processes the location data, with a fitted history model, to generate a vehicle path, and processes a portion of the location data, with the fitted history model, to generate a fitted history path, based on the historical map data. The device compares the vehicle path and the fitted history path, and determines whether the vehicle path and the fitted history path match based on comparing the vehicle path and the fitted history path. The device provides the portion of the location data when the vehicle path and the fitted history path match, or adds location data to the portion of the location data and provides the portion of the location data and the added location data, when the vehicle path and the fitted history path do not match.

Abstract: A driver assistance system that can reduce time delays in acquiring the traveling state of a vehicle and can stably control the vehicle. In the driver assistance system, a vehicle-mounted camera acquires an image including the boundary of a driving lane on which a vehicle travels. A target path generator generates a target path that is a path, on which the vehicle has to travel on the driving lane, based on the image. A traveling state acquirer acquires the traveling state of the vehicle on the driving lane based on the image. A controller performs steering control for causing the vehicle to travel along the target path based on the target path and the traveling state. A compensator compensates a time delay when the traveling state acquirer acquires the traveling state.

Abstract: A yaw angle return controller is configured to end first yaw angle return control at a predetermined time when a value which is calculated by adding yaw angle detected by a lane recognition device at a predetermined time and an estimated yaw angle change amount is the same as yaw angle at lane change start time under a state where the first yaw angle return control is being executed. The predetermined time comes after the first start time and before the first finish time. The estimated yaw angle change amount is calculated by multiplying the yaw rate detected by a yaw rate sensor at the predetermined time by a predetermined time period for foreseeing.

Abstract: The first yaw angle return control is started at a first start time when the first interruption condition is established. The actuator is controlled under the first yaw angle return control so that yaw angle at a first finish time becomes a value closer to yaw angle at the lane change start time compared with yaw angle at the first start time. The first finish time comes when a first control execution time passes from the first start time. The actuator is controlled under the second yaw angle return control so that yaw angle at a second finish time becomes a value closer to yaw angle at the lane change start time compared with yaw angle at the second start time. The second finish time comes when a second control execution time longer than the first control execution time passes from the second start time.
