Publication number: 20260062026Abstract: The drive assist device performs a deceleration notification for notifying the driver that the vehicle is decelerated when the vehicle is automatically decelerated. The drive assist device determines whether or not the suppression condition is satisfied based on the deceleration index value indicating the degree of deceleration of the vehicle and the traveling state of the vehicle, and the satisfied suppression condition indicates that there is a higher possibility that the driver does not notice the deceleration of the vehicle than in the case where the suppression condition is not satisfied, and when the suppression condition is satisfied, the drive assist device suppresses the deceleration notification as compared with the case where the suppression condition is not satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2025Publication date: March 5, 2026Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Tomoyuki DOI

Publication number: 20250128728Abstract: A driving support ECU of an alert apparatus obtains, when a preceding vehicle comes closer to a host vehicle rapidly in a following preceding vehicle state in which the host vehicle is following the preceding vehicle owing to a driving operation by a host vehicle driver, operation characteristics values representing characteristics of a deceleration operation performed by the host vehicle driver to decelerate the host vehicle, and memorize operation characteristics learning values that vary depending on the operation characteristics values. The ECU obtains an assumed deceleration of the preceding vehicle in accordance with a type of a road and/or a traffic flow. The ECU calculates a “required inter-vehicular distance” using the assumed deceleration, and performs the alert operation when an alert condition is determined to be satisfied. The alert condition includes a condition to be satisfied when an inter-vehicular distance is shorter than the required inter-vehicular distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventor: Tomoyuki DOI
