  • Patent number: 11884322
    Abstract: A drive assist apparatus includes a surrounding situation recognition device, a surrounding situation determination processor, a steering-wheel holding state recognizer, a steering-wheel holding state determination processor, and a traveling control device. The surrounding situation recognition device recognizes a surrounding situation of a first vehicle to be applied with the apparatus. The surrounding situation determination processor determines the surrounding situation based on a recognition result of the surrounding situation recognition device. The steering-wheel holding state recognizer recognizes a steering-wheel holding state. The steering-wheel holding state determination processor determines the steering-wheel holding state on the basis of a recognition result of the steering-wheel holding state recognizer.

  • Patent number: 10160450
    Abstract: A travel control device for a vehicle includes a forward information acquirer, a following travel controller, and a preceding-vehicle start detector. The forward information acquirer acquires information ahead of the vehicle. The following travel controller causes the vehicle to travel following a preceding vehicle when capturing the preceding vehicle travelling immediately ahead of the vehicle. The preceding-vehicle start detector detects a start of the preceding vehicle. The following travel controller includes a turning following controller that controls a stop and a start of the vehicle when the vehicle follows the preceding vehicle and enters an intersection to turn toward an opposite lane. The turning following controller includes an oncoming vehicle approach estimator and a stop controller. The oncoming vehicle approach estimator obtains an acceleration after the preceding vehicle starts.
