  • Patent number: 11941983
    Abstract: A driving assistance device includes a recording unit that records vehicle past traveling positions and related position estimation information, and a relative position estimation unit that estimates a vehicle relative position based on a sensor, adds a history of the relative position to the past traveling position, and uses the output of the sensor. The driving assistance device further includes a position estimation unit that estimates a vehicle position with respect to the past traveling positions and adds a history of the estimated position to the past traveling position, in addition to a deviation determination unit that determines deviation from the past traveling positions using a distribution of the past traveling positions, the vehicle position relative to the past traveling positions, and a reference value. The driving assistance device includes a control unit that controls the vehicle to cancel a warning or deviation when the deviation is determined.

  • Publication number: 20220178717
    Abstract: An object is to provide a self-position estimation device capable of highly accurately estimating self-location and attitudes on a map containing information such as lane centerlines, stop lines, and traffic rules. A representative self-position estimation device according to the present invention includes a self-position estimation portion that estimates a self-location and attitude on a high-precision map from measurement results of a sensor to measure objects around a vehicle; a low-precision section detection portion that detects a low-precision section indicating low estimation accuracy based on the self-location and attitude estimated by the self-position estimation portion; and a self-map generation portion that generates a self-generated map saving a position and type of the object on the high-precision map in the low-precision section detected by the low-precision section detection portion.
