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.

Abstract: A driving support device performs collision avoidance support on a vehicle relative to a leading vehicle present in a travelling direction based on a time-to-collision Ta as a time that the vehicle takes to collide with the leading vehicle. A lateral change amount calculation portion detects relative lateral velocity Vy, which is a relative time-dependent change amount between the vehicle and the leading vehicle. A storage portion stores steering time T1, which is a time required for the vehicle to avoid the leading vehicle by steering.

When a relative lateral velocity Vy at a time when the time-to-collision Ta is the steering time T1 or more is the activation threshold TH1 or more, a support management portion restrains the activation of the driving support.

Abstract: In a travel supporting control system 10 including an LDW/LKA system 17 which performs traveling-lane keeping assist control so that a vehicle V travels without deviating from the lane along which it travels, the LDW/LKA system 17 calculates a virtual lane width W, which is the width of the lane narrowed by an obstacle O detected by an obstacle detecting sensor 11, and stops the traveling-lane keeping assist control when the calculated virtual lane width W is so narrow as to be equal to or smaller than a threshold value and an avoidance operation of the driver is required. Accordingly, since the operation of LDW or LKA can be stopped at a proper timing, it becomes possible to prevent interference between the operation of the driver and the operation of the system for keeping the lane.
