  • Publication number: 20180281809
    Abstract: A vehicle drive assistance system is provided, which includes a general driver model learning engine configured to build a general driver model to be applied for a plurality of vehicle drivers based on driving data of the plurality of drivers, and an individual driver model learning engine configured to build an individual driver model particular to a specific vehicle driver based on the driving data of the specific driver received from a specific vehicle of the specific driver. The individual driver model learning engine includes a first synchronization engine configured to provide, to the general driver model learning engine, the driving data obtained by executing a first data conversion processing on the driving data of the specific driver.

  • Patent number: 5332057
    Abstract: A contact preventive system for vehicles using an automatic braking device and an automatic steering device together. Contact forecasting mechanism forecasts the contact of a vehicle with an obstacle. When the contact of the obstacle is forecasted, automatic braking control mechanism operates the automatic braking device. Environment detecting mechanism detects the change of environment such as a friction coefficient of a road. Automatic steering control mechanism operates the automatic steering device to alter the advance direction of the vehicle when a possibility of contact is caused by the change of environment during automatic braking. Thus, contact can be avoided.
