Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes an electronic control unit configured to: acquire lane information including a curvature of a curve located ahead in a traveling direction of the vehicle; acquire target vehicle information as information on a target vehicle, based on the lane information and the target vehicle information, a target trajectory; perform a target trajectory modification process for offsetting the target trajectory determined from the lane information in such a direction as to move away from the target vehicle, when the vehicle approaches the target vehicle; set an offset amount of the target trajectory in accordance with the curvature of the curve, when the vehicle approaches the target vehicle from an outer side of the curve, in the target trajectory modification process; and cause the vehicle to automatically run along the target trajectory modified through the target trajectory modification process.

Abstract: The vehicle control device recognizes an object around an own-vehicle and acquires information related to a road shape ahead of the own-vehicle. The vehicle control device detects, when a road shape prompting cut-in to an own-lane is acquired, a monitoring target vehicle likely to be prompted to cut into the own-lane among the recognized objects. The vehicle control device executes an evasive preparation for cut-in of the monitoring target vehicle when the monitoring target vehicle is detected. The vehicle control device executes an evasive action to avoid interference between the monitoring target vehicle and the own-vehicle when a predetermined motion from which cut-in of the monitoring target vehicle to the own-lane is expected is sensed after the evasive preparation is executed.

Abstract: A vehicle control device according to an example in the present disclosure detects a monitoring target vehicle that may potentially cut into an own-lane from an adjacent lane. Further, the vehicle control device first executes an evasive preparation when sensing a predetermined relative motion of the monitoring target vehicle relative to the flow of the adjacent lane. The vehicle control device executes an evasive action to avoid interference between the monitoring target vehicle and the own-vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes: a vehicle recognition unit configured to recognize a rear lateral vehicle in an area rearward of the host vehicle; a remaining distance acquisition unit configured to acquire a remaining distance from a current position of the host vehicle to a position at which the host vehicle completes a lane change; a lane change availability determination unit configured to determine whether the lane change is available; and a vehicle control unit configured to control, when the lane change availability determination unit determines that the lane change is not available and the remaining distance is shorter than a first determination distance, steering of the host vehicle such that a position of the host vehicle in a vehicle width direction becomes a position closer to the second lane than a position when the remaining distance is longer than or equal to the first determination distance.

Abstract: A driving assistance system mounted in a vehicle includes a driving assistance control device configured to determine whether or not an object is a monitoring target. The driving assistance control device is configured to calculate an inclination direction of a detection surface of the object in a reference coordinate system fixed with respect to the vehicle in a horizontal plane. A first inclination state is a state where an angle formed by the inclination direction and a lateral direction of the vehicle is less than a first threshold. A second inclination state is a state where the angle is greater than a second threshold that is equal to or greater than the first threshold. The driving assistance control device is configured to determine the object in the first inclination state as the monitoring target and to exclude the object in the second inclination state from the monitoring target.

Abstract: A vehicle speed control device includes: a parallel running vehicle detection sensor; and an electronic control unit configured to perform (i) cruise control, (ii) parallel running vehicle detection processing, (iii) blind zone avoidance control for controlling the speed of the vehicle such that the vehicle is moved to a position behind a blind zone of the parallel running vehicle when the parallel running vehicle is detected, (iv) blind zone getting-out determination processing for determining whether the vehicle can move to a position ahead of the blind zone by traveling according to the cruise condition, and (v) avoidance cancellation processing for prioritizing the control of the speed by the cruise control over the control of the speed by the blind zone avoidance control when it is determined by the blind zone getting-out determination processing that the vehicle can move to the position ahead of the blind zone.
