  • Patent number: 10611367
    Abstract: In a driving assistance device, A arrival position calculation unit specifies an object position on an XY plane, and calculates a predicted arrival position when an object arrives at an X axis based upon a calculated travel trajectory by calculating the travel trajectory of the object. An operation permission unit permits automatic brake operation based upon a collision determination between an own vehicle and the object, when the predicted arrival position falls within a range of an operation target width. An overlapping region extraction unit sets detection error regions on the XY plane, respectively, and extracts a region where both detection error regions set are overlapped with each other as an overlapping region. A setting unit enlarges an operation target width after an automatic-brake-operation start when a characteristic amount condition relating to a size of the overlapping region is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20200055494
    Abstract: Control determines whether or not two objects represent the same object, in which one object is detected at a first position in front of a vehicle by an electromagnetic wave sensor and the other object is detected at a second position in front of the vehicle by image sensor. The control further determines whether or not the other object is partially excluded from an image acquired by the image sensor, in which a part of the object may have been outside the imaging region of the image sensor. The control changes a determination condition used for determining whether or not the objects represent the same object, such that the object whose part is excluded from the acquired image is more easily determined as the same object, compared with an object determined that such a part is not excluded from the acquired image.
