  • Patent number: 11970208
    Abstract: A vehicle collision avoidance assist apparatus executes a steering avoidance control of setting an avoidance route for avoiding the collision of the own vehicle with the object in a lane in which the own vehicle moves and executing an avoiding steering process of forcibly steering the own vehicle so as to move the own vehicle along the avoidance route when an index value representing a probability of collision of an own vehicle with an object ahead of the own vehicle becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined index value. The apparatus stops an execution of the steering avoidance control when a departing amount of the own vehicle from the avoidance route becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined departing amount while the electronic control unit executes the steering avoidance control. The predetermined departing amount is set for each of sections of the avoidance route.

  • Publication number: 20240034314
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus for a vehicle includes a monitoring sensor and a brake apparatus. The vehicle control apparatus determines whether a pre-preceding vehicle is present in front of a preceding vehicle in front of an own vehicle in a vehicle advancing direction. In response to the pre-preceding vehicle is determined to be present in front of the preceding vehicle, the vehicle control apparatus compares a first required deceleration required to cause the own vehicle to travel to follow the preceding vehicle based on a monitoring result of the monitoring sensor and a second required deceleration required to cause the own vehicle to travel to follow the pre-preceding vehicle based on a monitoring result of the monitoring sensor, and controls the brake apparatus to bring deceleration of the own vehicle closer to the second required deceleration in response to the second required deceleration being greater than the first required deceleration.

  • Patent number: 11760343
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus performs automatic braking control when an execution condition is satisfied, in a case where a lap rate of the obstacle is a threshold lap rate or more. Furthermore, the vehicle control apparatus performs automatic steering control when the execution condition is satisfied, in a case where the lap rate is less than the threshold lap rate and furthermore an avoidance area in which the vehicle can avoid a collision with the obstacle without traveling out of a self-lane and passage of the vehicle is not blocked by a passage inhibition object. The vehicle control apparatus performs the automatic braking control when a special condition including a condition that the execution condition is satisfied at least is satisfied, if the passage inhibition object exists, in a case where the lap rate is less than the threshold lap rate and furthermore the avoidance area does not exist.
