  • Patent number: 11983011
    Abstract: A vehicle driving assist system includes a storage, an autonomous sensor, a traveling environment recognizer, and a controller. The storage contains map information on an intersection where at least one intersecting road intersects at grade with a traveling road of an own vehicle. The autonomous sensor detects information on the traveling road positioned in front of the own vehicle. The traveling environment recognizer recognizes the detected information on the traveling road. The controller determines, before reaching the intersection, whether the intersecting road is a blind spot depending on presence or absence of a view-blocking object, on the basis of the recognized information on the traveling road, and changes, if the intersecting road is determined as being a blind spot, a lateral position shift amount of a course of the own vehicle in a direction away from the intersecting road when the own vehicle passes through the intersection.

  • Publication number: 20230286496
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes one or more processors that execute a braking delay process and a stopping control process. The braking delay process is related to contact avoidance in which a recognized road-side object is set to a target object, and is a process of performing a control of delaying intervention by braking in a case where the contact avoidance using steering is predicted to be possible, as compared with a case where the contact avoidance using the braking is performed. The stopping control process is a process of performing a control of preventing a vehicle from stopping within a section corresponding to a discontinuous portion in the road-side object in a case where the intervention by the breaking is to be delayed, where the discontinuous portion is recognized in the road-side object, and where the vehicle is predicted to stop within the section.

  • Publication number: 20230022820
    Abstract: A driving assistance device recognizes traveling environment information on a vehicle, detects a moving object having a speed component from an outside of a traveling road of the vehicle to an inside of the traveling road, determines whether the moving object will collide with the vehicle based on movement information of the vehicle and the moving object, performs execution of emergency braking if a physical quantity indicating a correlation between the vehicle and the moving object is equal to or smaller than a preset threshold, and cancels the execution of the emergency braking if the physical quantity is equal to or smaller than the threshold and a structure that blocks entry of the moving object into the traveling road is present on a movement path of the moving object.

  • Publication number: 20220105957
    Abstract: A vehicle traveling control apparatus includes an autonomous sensor, a braking controller, a determination unit, a calculator, and a steering controller. The autonomous sensor recognizes an obstacle ahead of a vehicle. The braking controller determines possibility of contact on the basis of a relative distance and a relative speed between the vehicle and the obstacle, and, upon determining that the vehicle is likely to contact the obstacle, executes a strong braking control of reducing the relative speed to “0”. The determination unit calculates a predicted travel distance to be traveled until the relative speed is reduced to “0”, and permits steering intervention when the predicted travel distance is longer than the relative distance. The calculator calculates time-to-contact to be taken until the vehicle contacts the obstacle. The steering controller executes a steering control when the steering intervention is permitted and the time-to-contact becomes a time threshold or less.

  • Patent number: 11084489
    Abstract: An automated driving assist system includes a vehicle controller that includes an entry-permission determiner. The entry-permission determiner searches for first and second traffic lights successively installed on a target traveling course. When the first and second traffic lights are successively installed, the entry-permission determiner determines whether the first traffic light is installed at an intersection. When the first and second traffic lights are successively installed and the first traffic light is installed at the intersection, the entry-permission determiner detects respective lighting statuses of signals indicated by the first and second traffic lights. When the first traffic light indicates a signal permitting vehicles to advance and the second traffic light indicates a signal prohibiting the vehicles from advancing, the entry-permission determiner acquires an available stop distance.
