Abstract: A driving assistance device which performs driving assistance for an assisted vehicle A traveling on a non-priority road 40 and trying to merge into a priority road 50 on the basis of the presence of a vehicle B traveling on the priority road 50 includes an assistance processing section 16 which changes the end position of driving assistance on the basis of traffic conditions on a first lane 51, which is nearest to the non-priority road 40, of lanes of the priority road 50. Accordingly, it is possible to perform appropriate driving assistance for a driver.

Abstract: An integrated control system includes a main control system (accelerator) controlling a driving system, a main control system (brake) controlling a brake system, a main control system (steering) controlling a steering system, an adviser unit generating and providing information to be used at each control system based on environmental information around the vehicle or information related to a driver, and an agent unit. The agent unit executes a program including a process of determining a control precondition, a step of calculating an instructed distance or a target distance to an instructed position, and a process of guarding (regulating) by environmental information.

Abstract: An integrated control system includes a main control system (accelerator) controlling a driving system, a main control system (brake) controlling a brake system, and a main control system (steering) controlling a steering system, based on manipulation by a driver, as well as an adviser unit generating and providing information to be used at each main control system based on environmental information around the vehicle or information on a driver. The advisor unit outputs to the main control system (accelerator) sudden acceleration/deceleration risk information having the risk set to “high” when the vehicle is parked in a parking lot, based on information from a navigation device or a surroundings monitoring sensor. The main control system (accelerator) selects a parking state property map based on the sudden acceleration/deceleration risk information having the risk set to “high”, and calculates a target driving force smaller than that corresponding to accelerator pressing by the driver.
