  • Patent number: 11938924
    Abstract: In a driving assistance control apparatus for a vehicle, an acquirer acquires a detected traveling state of the vehicle and a detected traveling state of another vehicle. A controller determines whether to perform braking assistance using a deterministic indicator for collision including at least one of a time, a distance, and a required deceleration to collision with the other vehicle and a deterministic indicator for crossing including at least one of a time, a distance, and a required deceleration to reaching a path of travel of the other vehicle. The deterministic indicator for collision and the deterministic indicator for crossing are acquired using the acquired traveling state of the vehicle and the acquired traveling state of the other vehicle. Further, in response to determining to perform the braking assistance, the controller causes a driving assistance unit to perform the braking assistance.

  • Patent number: 11724694
    Abstract: A traveling assistance apparatus controls a safety apparatus for avoiding collision between an own vehicle and an object, based on detection information from an object detection apparatus. The assistance apparatus calculates a predicted time to collision of a target object and the own vehicle, and operates the safety apparatus in response to the predicted time to collision being equal to or less than a predetermined operation timing. In response to a steering operation by a driver for collision avoidance of the own vehicle being performed, the assistance apparatus performs operation-stop in which operation of the safety apparatus is stopped or operation-delay in which the operation timing is delayed. The assistance apparatus suppresses the operation-stop or the operation-delay in response to a target object serving as a collision avoidance target being recognized in a path of the own vehicle after the steering operation by the driver, based on the detection information.
