Patent number: 5708584Abstract: In a vehicle running mode detecting system, a relative speed of a vehicle, equipped with the vehicle running mode detecting system, to a forward object is calculated on the basis of a time elapsed from a reference time based on which the time elapsed is measured and a change in the distance between the vehicle and the forward object during the time elapsed. Whether the vehicle is running in a constant distance mode where the distance between the vehicle and the forward object is kept substantially constant or in a varying distance mode where the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating relative to the forward object and the distance between the vehicle and the forward object is varying is determined on the basis of the change in the distance between the vehicle and the forward object. The reference time is updated less frequently when the vehicle is running in the constant distance mode than when the vehicle is running in the varying distance mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1995Date of Patent: January 13, 1998Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Ayumu Doi, Yasunori Yamamoto, Hideki Nishitake, Tomohiko Adachi

Patent number: 5680097Abstract: When information of an obstacle is not outputted from a radar device, a presumption device presumes at least a present value of a distance between a vehicle and the obstacle based on information in a memory part obtained until the time, and a contact-possibility judgment device judges a possibility of contact of the vehicle with the obstacle based on the information from the presumption device. A detection device is provided for detecting conditions at the time when the information of the obstacle is not outputted from the radar device, for example, a relation of relative position of the obstacle to the vehicle. Further, a restriction device is provided for restricting the presumption by the presumption device according to the relation of relative position. Thus, a possibility of contact of the vehicle with the obstacle running forward of the vehicle is appropriately judged and mis-operations of an alarm, an automatic braking and the like are prevented, while ensuring running safety.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1993Date of Patent: October 21, 1997Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Hiroki Uemura, Tadayuki Niibe, Ayumu Doi, Tohru Yoshioka, Ken-ichi Okuda, Yasunori Yamamoto, Satoshi Morioka, Tomohiko Adachi
