Patent number: 11941983Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Hitachi Astemo, Ltd.Inventors: Hideyuki Kume, Hidehiro Toyoda
