Patent number: 11724694Abstract: A traveling assistance apparatus controls a safety apparatus for avoiding collision between an own vehicle and an object, based on detection information from an object detection apparatus. The assistance apparatus calculates a predicted time to collision of a target object and the own vehicle, and operates the safety apparatus in response to the predicted time to collision being equal to or less than a predetermined operation timing. In response to a steering operation by a driver for collision avoidance of the own vehicle being performed, the assistance apparatus performs operation-stop in which operation of the safety apparatus is stopped or operation-delay in which the operation timing is delayed. The assistance apparatus suppresses the operation-stop or the operation-delay in response to a target object serving as a collision avoidance target being recognized in a path of the own vehicle after the steering operation by the driver, based on the detection information.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Toru Takahashi, Yosuke Ito, Kei Kamiya, Ryo Takaki, Shogo Matsunaga, Takaharu Oguri, Takahiro Baba

Patent number: 11420624Abstract: When there is a possibility of collision between a host vehicle and objects positioned in a detection region in front of the host vehicle, an ECU implements collision avoidance control for preventing the host vehicle from colliding with an object. The ECU detects the objects positioned in the detection region and judges whether, among the detected objects, there is an object that the host vehicle has overtaken and that is capable of moving within a prescribed range in the vehicle width direction of the host vehicle. If it is judged that the host vehicle is turning to the left or to the right after it has been judged that the host vehicle has overtaken an object, the actuation timing of the collision avoidance control is advanced.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Ryo Takaki

Patent number: 11288961Abstract: A driving assist ECU acquires, based on an image, positions of at least two specific points of an object that are different in a lateral direction with respect to a vehicle traveling direction. The driving assist ECU also performs collision avoidance control for avoiding a collision with the object based on a movement track of the object obtained from a history of the positions of the specific points, and calculates, for each of the specific points, a movement direction of each of the specific points based on the history of the position of each of the specific points. The driving assist ECU then changes how to perform the collision avoidance control based on a difference between the movement directions at the respective specific points.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2017Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Ryo Takaki
