  • Patent number: 11836991
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a detector, a grouping processor, a management unit, and a determination unit. The detector detects traffic signals on the basis of a captured image. The grouping processor performs a grouping process of causing each of the detected traffic signals to belong to any one of groups. The management unit manages a location and display information of the each of the detected traffic signals in association with the group to which the each of the traffic signals belongs, and thereby manages the traffic signals. The determination unit determines, for each of the groups, a representative location and representative display information of one or more traffic signals belonging to relevant one of the groups, among the traffic signals, on the basis of the location and display information of each of the one or more traffic signals belonging to the relevant one of the groups.

  • Publication number: 20230314158
    Abstract: A vehicle drive assist apparatus includes: a traveling environment information acquirer that acquires information on an area around a vehicle; an orientation detector that detects a face orientation or a line of sight of a driver; a projector that projects a course image indicating a vehicle's turning direction onto a road surface ahead of the vehicle; and a controller that sets the course image and controls the projector. The controller detects a driver's turn signal operation. Upon detecting the turn signal operation, the controller estimates a vehicle's turn position based on the face orientation or a direction of the line of sight. Upon determining, based on the information, that the turn position is not the intersection, the controller calculates a distance from the vehicle to the turn position based on the information, and set the course image indicating the turn position of the vehicle based on the distance.

  • Publication number: 20230227026
    Abstract: A driving assist device includes a driving assist controller. The driving assist controller is configured to perform driving assistance when the vehicle changes a course by crossing the oncoming lane. The driving assist controller sets a predicted travel region based on behavior of the oncoming vehicle when the oncoming vehicle is approaching the vehicle that enters an intersection. When the vehicle enters the predicted travel region in a travel path of the vehicle, the driving assist controller determines whether there is a possibility of contact between the vehicle and the oncoming vehicle based on the predicted travel region and the travel path of the vehicle. The driving assist controller causes the vehicle to stop outside of the predicted travel region when there is a possibility of the contact.

  • Publication number: 20230227028
    Abstract: A driving assist device includes a driving assist controller. The driving assist controller includes an oncoming vehicle detection unit, a prediction determination unit, a predicted travel region setting unit and a stop controller. The oncoming vehicle detection unit is configured to, when a vehicle enters an intersection, determine whether an oncoming vehicle going to enter the intersection is present. The prediction determination unit is configured to, when the oncoming vehicle detection unit determines that the oncoming vehicle is going to enter the intersection, determine whether a course of the oncoming vehicle is predictable based on vehicle behavior of the oncoming vehicle. The predicted travel region setting unit is configured to set a predicted travel region of the oncoming vehicle based on the vehicle behavior. The stopping controller is configured to cause the vehicle to stop outside of the predicted travel region set by the predicted travel region setting unit.

  • Publication number: 20230227056
    Abstract: A driving assist device includes, a traveling environment information acquisition unit, an intersection determination unit, a vehicle position information acquisition unit, a predicted travel path setting unit, a blinker signal acquisition unit, a traffic division information acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a notifier. The determination unit determines whether directions indicated by three factors of traffic division information acquired by the traffic division information acquisition unit; a blinker signal acquired by the blinker signal acquisition unit, and a predicted travel path predicted by the predicted travel path setting unit match each other.

  • Publication number: 20230227029
    Abstract: A vehicle traveling control apparatus includes a sensor and a traveling control processor configured to function as an identification unit and a tentative identification calculation unit. The identification unit identifies whether the target detected by the sensor is a ghost or a real object based on results of the detection for first number of measurement cycles, and if the target is the real object and a possibility that the target and the vehicle come into contact with each other is present, causes a first traveling control to be executed. The tentative identification calculation unit determines whether the target is the ghost or the real object based on results of the detection for second number of measurement cycles, and when the target is the ghost and the possibility is present, causes a second traveling control to be executed. The second number is less than the first number.

  • Publication number: 20230227033
    Abstract: A driver assistance device acquires information about vehicle-driving environment ahead of the vehicle to detect an intersection. Upon determining that the vehicle makes a right- or left-hand turn at the intersection, the driver assistance device sets a projected course of the vehicle and recognizes a moving object ahead in a direction in which the vehicle making a right- or left-hand turn is headed. The driver assistance device calculates a movement vector from positional changes of the moving object to calculate a meeting point of a path of the object and the projected course. When an interval between times at which the vehicle and the moving object reach the meeting point is found to fall within a predetermined range, the driver assistance device determines that there is a possibility of interference between the vehicle and the moving object and then causes the vehicle to halt short of the meeting point.
