  • Publication number: 20240270312
    Abstract: A vehicular control system includes a camera and a radar sensor disposed at an equipped vehicle. The system, via processing of image data and processing of sensor data, determines other vehicles present on the road ahead of the equipped vehicle. The system, responsive to determining the presence of a plurality of other vehicles present on the road, determines a threat level for each vehicle of the plurality of other vehicles. An emergency braking system of the equipped vehicle is controlled responsive to the determined threat levels. When a vehicle of the plurality of other vehicles is no longer detectable via processing of image data captured by the camera and processing of sensor data captured by the radar sensor, the system predicts a position for the no longer detectable vehicle of the plurality of other vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11964691
    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera and a radar sensor disposed at the equipped vehicle. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and, as the equipped vehicle travels along a road, the ECU, via processing of image data and processing of sensor data, determines other vehicles present on the road ahead of the equipped vehicle. The ECU, responsive to determining the presence of a plurality of other vehicles present on the road, fuses the image data captured by the camera and the sensor data captured by the radar sensor. The ECU, based on the fused data, determines a threat level for each vehicle of the plurality of other vehicles and, when the threat level for one or more vehicles of the plurality of other vehicles exceeds a threshold value, generates a braking command. The ECU transmits the braking command to a braking system of the equipped vehicle.
