Abstract: A parking support apparatus determines whether or not a leaving condition becomes satisfied while the controller is executing the automatic parking control and the current shift range is at range other than a parking range, the leaving condition being a condition that is satisfied when the driver performs a leaving action. The parking support apparatus determines whether or not the vehicle has already reached the target parking area. The parking support apparatus generates a first alert having a first alerting capability, if the vehicle has already reached the target parking area when the leaving condition has been satisfied, and generates a second alert having a second alerting capability lower than the first alerting capability or no alerts, if the vehicle has not reached the target parking area yet when the leaving condition has been satisfied.

Abstract: A surrounding monitoring apparatus obtains the position of a pedestrian contained in an image captured by a camera mounted on a vehicle on the basis of the position of the pedestrian in the image, and determines, on the basis of the obtained position, whether or not the possibility of collision with the pedestrian is high. In the apparatus, an error in extracting the pedestrian position may increase temporarily. In view of this, when the magnitude of change in a position correlation value representing the position of the pedestrian per a predetermined time (position change amount) exceeds a change amount upper limit value, the apparatus modifies the position correlation value such that the position change amount becomes equal to the change amount upper limit value and determines, on the basis of the modified position correlation value, whether or not the possibility of collision with the pedestrian is high.

Abstract: A parking assist apparatus executes parking assist control for moving a vehicle along a determined target path to a target region. The parking assist apparatus displays on a display device an image of the vehicle and a vicinity of the vehicle as viewed from a position separated from the vehicle in a direction different from a direction directly above the vehicle at a point in time at which the vehicle is determined to have reached the target region.

Abstract: A surroundings monitoring apparatus obtains the position of an object from a captured image of a region in a heading direction of a vehicle, and obtains a position obtainment accuracy. When the distance between the object and the vehicle becomes relatively short, the position obtainment accuracy increases. However, the distance between the object and the vehicle becomes shorter, the position obtainment accuracy may decrease. Therefore, if collision avoidance control is performed for an object selected on the basis of the position obtainment accuracy, there is a possibility that the collision avoidance control is not performed for an object which is most likely to collide with the vehicle. In view of this, the apparatus obtains, for each object, a required deceleration which is the magnitude of acceleration necessary for stoppage at a position before the object, and performs the collision avoidance control for an object which is the largest in the required deceleration.

Abstract: A vehicle brake control apparatus according to the invention stops an activation of a brake device when a person exists outside of a braking area.

Abstract: A frequency of an unnecessary operation of automatic braking due to a reflected wave from a guard rail is decreased. When a collision avoidance control unit determines that an obstacle detected by a radar sensor and an own vehicle are highly likely to collide with each other, the collision avoidance control unit reads a state signal output by a parking support control unit, and determines whether or not the state signal indicates a specific state, which is a state where parallel parking support is being carried out or a state where exit support is being carried out. When the state signal indicates the specific state, the collision avoidance control unit inhibits the automatic braking.

Abstract: A vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary that is driven by the output of an internal combustion engine and which is capable of obtaining drive force by transmitting the output of the internal combustion engine to driving wheels. If an air conditioning compressor is being driven during engine idling of the internal combustion engine, an electronic control apparatus implements output-increase control for increasing the output of the internal combustion engine in comparison to when the air conditioning compressor is not being driven. If the force applied to the accelerator pedal (Pac) is equal to or more than a prescribed value (Pth), output-reduction control for reducing the output of the internal combustion engine by initiating engine idling of the internal combustion engine, and prohibiting the drive of the air conditioning compressor, is implemented.
