  • Publication number: 20180173231
    Abstract: A travel control device comprises a detection unit configured to detect a travel state of a subject vehicle, a determination unit configured to determine a travel scene of the subject vehicle, a storage unit configured to store presentation information to be presented to a user in each travel scene, a presentation unit configured to present the presentation information corresponding to the travel scene to the user, an input unit for the user to input response information, and a control unit configured to control travel of the subject vehicle on the basis of the response information. The storage unit stores a priority level when presenting the presentation information. The presentation unit presents the presentation information of which the priority level is highest to the user when an actual travel scene of the subject vehicle falls under travel scenes corresponding to two or more items of the presentation information.

  • Publication number: 20180141551
    Abstract: A starting control device is provided to detect a preceding vehicle that is stopped in front of a host vehicle, acquire a relative speed and an inter-vehicular distance between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle, detect a starting request input by the driver of the host vehicle, and detects the number of times the starting request has been detected after the host vehicle has stopped. Then, the starting control device causes the host vehicle to start following a preceding vehicle when a standby period, which is the period from when the starting request is detected to when at least one of the relative speed and the inter-vehicular distance satisfies a preset start condition, is shorter than a start permission period that is set in advance.

  • Patent number: 8924074
    Abstract: A driving assistance system for vehicle detects short-duration data representing a current traveling condition and drive operation, and intermediate-duration data representing a travelling condition and drive operation of this day. Drive diagnosis is carried out by comparing distribution of the short-duration data and distribution of the intermediate-duration data.

  • Patent number: 8688312
    Abstract: A driving assistance system for vehicle obtains short-duration data representing a present traveling condition and driving operation and intermediate-duration data representing a traveling condition and driving operation of that day. A drive diagnosis is carried out by comparing a distribution of the short-duration data and a distribution of the intermediate-date, and a drive diagnosis result is evaluated with two evaluation criteria so as to provide an alarm or an operation improvement suggestion.

  • Patent number: 8577545
    Abstract: A vehicle driving assist apparatus includes an input section to sense a vehicle traveling condition of a vehicle, an output section to present assist information to a driver of the vehicle, and a control section to prepare the assist information in accordance with the vehicle traveling condition sensed by the sensing section. The control section is configured to determine an estimation quantity (such as a driver's receptivity or a driver's responsiveness to the assist information, or a driver's driving behavior), and to adjust the assist information in accordance with the estimation quantity. The control section may be further configured to determine a presentation mode in accordance with the estimation quantity, and to present the assist information through the output section to the driver in the presentation mode.

  • Patent number: 8060289
    Abstract: A vehicle driving assist system is provided that calculates the risk potential of the host vehicle with respect to a preceding object existing in front of a host vehicle. A first driving assistance control system controls at least one of an actuation reaction force exerted by a driver-operated driving operation device and a braking/driving force exerted against the host vehicle based on the calculated risk potential. A second driving assistance control system configured to control the braking/driving force of the host vehicle such that at least one of a host vehicle speed and a headway distance between the host vehicle and the obstacle is maintained. An operating state reporting section reports an operating state of the first driving assistance control system based on an operating state of the second driving assistance control system, the risk potential, and an accelerator pedal actuation state.
