  • Patent number: 11358477
    Abstract: A magnitude of a road surface slope along which a vehicle travels is detected, when the magnitude of the road surface slope increases, a basic braking force set in advance is corrected to be decreased based on the magnitude of the road surface slope, or a basic driving force set in advance is corrected to be increased based on the magnitude of the road surface slope, when the magnitude of the road surface slope decreases, a basic braking force is corrected to be increased based on the magnitude of the road surface slope or a basic driving force is corrected to be decreased based on the magnitude of the road surface slope, and the corrected braking force or driving force is generated.

  • Patent number: 9701199
    Abstract: Information display is performed, in which recognizability of information regarding a driving support control is relatively good even in a situation where a driving load is relatively large, the information display not annoying a driver. A display controller displays a support state displaying image, which is an image having a configuration in which a vehicle image is superimposed on a mesh image as a mesh-like planar image, on a liquid crystal display device provided in a meter panel of a meter device. In addition, upon having determined that a driving support control implemented by a driving support device is operating, the display controller performs a display control to change a display mode of a mesh image portion of the support state displaying image, which is to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device, to a preset display mode.

  • Patent number: 8423246
    Abstract: The in-lane running support system includes a steering input device and a steering input detector. The in-lane running support system further comprises a reaction force device that changes a condition of the steering input device between a normal operation mode that provides a normal reaction force to the driver, and a hapthic operation mode that performs a notification operation to the driver, a turning output device that is in a state mechanically disconnected from the steering input device and that turns steerable wheels, and a turning output controller. A running state detecting device acquires information of a running state of the vehicle with respect to a lane.

  • Patent number: 8359155
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a vehicle driving operation support system. The vehicle driving operation support system senses an environment surrounding the motor vehicle; senses a traveling condition of the motor vehicle; calculates a risk potential of the motor vehicle on a basis of the sensed environment and the sensed traveling condition; controls the motor vehicle on a basis of a control setpoint. The vehicle driving operation support system sets on a basis of the calculated risk potential the control setpoint to a provisional setpoint effective for reducing the risk potential; senses driver's operation in reaction to the controlling operation with the control setpoint set to the provisional setpoint; and sets the control setpoint to a normal setpoint on a basis of the sensed driver's operation.
