Patent number: 11938925Abstract: A vehicle movement assist system includes: an external environment sensor unmovably fixed to a vehicle; and a control device configured to acquire the position of an obstacle relative to the vehicle based on a result of detection performed by the external environment sensor and to execute an automatic moving process to autonomously move the vehicle. During execution of the automatic moving process, if the obstacle is detected in a recognition range set by the control device, the control device performs a notification to the driver and/or executes a process including deceleration or stopping of the vehicle. The control device is configured to change the recognition range in accordance with the travel state of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuki Hara, Syoichi Kobayashi, Yasushi Shoda

Patent number: 11731613Abstract: A parking assistance device including a recognition part configured to acquire recognition information through recognition of surroundings, a parking region determiner configured to determine a space between other vehicles as a parking region of the host vehicle based on the recognition information, an automatic parking controller configured to perform a parking operation to park the host vehicle in the parking region, and a parking location determiner. In response to determining that an entry width of the parking region is less than a predetermined value, the parking location determiner is configured to determine a parking location of the host vehicle in the parking region that is at a central location as viewed from an entry side of the parking region. In response to determining that the entry width is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the parking location determiner is configured to determine the parking location that is closer to one of the other vehicles as viewed from the entry side.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuki Nakada, Hiroshi Yamanaka, Yuki Hara, Yasushi Shoda, Syoichi Kobayashi

Patent number: 11377099Abstract: A parking assist system includes: an external environment information acquiring device, a parking space extracting device, a display device, a selection input member, and a control device. The control device is configured to set a parking position candidate at a prescribed position in a parking space, to set the parking position candidate selected by a user as a target parking position, to calculate a first trajectory to the target parking position, and to execute a first driving process to autonomously move a vehicle along the first trajectory. The control device is configured to set a corrected parking position different from the target parking position, to calculate a second trajectory from the target parking position to the corrected parking position, and to execute a second driving process to autonomously move the vehicle along the second trajectory.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasushi Shoda, Syoichi Kobayashi, Yuki Hara

Patent number: 11364897Abstract: A parking assist system includes: a display device configured to display a parking space candidate; and a control device configured to control a screen display of the display device, to set the parking space candidate selected by a user to a target parking space, to set a stop position where the vehicle should be stopped in the target parking space, and to execute a driving process to autonomously move the vehicle along a trajectory to the stop position. While executing the driving process, the control device causes the display device to display the trajectory and the stop position and determines whether the stop position is suitable based on external environment information. Upon determining that the stop position is not suitable, the control device corrects the stop position and causes the display device to display the stop position that has been corrected.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuki Nakada, Yasushi Shoda, Syoichi Kobayashi, Yuki Hara, Miki Tsujino, Hiroshi Yamanaka
