Vehicle driving situation determination apparatus and vehicle driving situation determination method
Patent number: 9975548Abstract: A vehicle driving situation determination apparatus includes an object detector for detecting an object around a vehicle and an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU calculates an index relating to a traveling state of the vehicle, wherein the index is a value that is obtained by dividing a jerk of the vehicle by a deceleration. The ECU compares the index to past index statistics, in a case where the object is detected by the object detector and then a response operation against the object by a driver of the vehicle is detected. A driving reaction of the driver of the vehicle is based on a result of this comparison and driving support is executed based on the determination.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Quy Hung Nguyen Van, Hiroshi Kishi -
