  • Publication number: 20210197817
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a detection unit detecting a preceding vehicle based on an image acquired by a camera, a follow-on travel control unit that can control a user's own vehicle to travel so as to follow the preceding vehicle, and can control the user's own vehicle to travel at a predetermined speed when the preceding vehicle does not exist, and an acceleration suppression unit suppressing acceleration of the user's own vehicle for a predetermined time period if a detection accuracy for the preceding vehicle is decreased in the detection unit when the user's own vehicle is following the preceding vehicle at the predetermined speed or less. The predetermined time period is a vehicle headway time previously determined for the preceding vehicle or a time required until the user's own vehicle reaches a location where the preceding vehicle was positioned when the detection accuracy was decreased.

  • Patent number: 10737667
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for braking control of a host vehicle includes detecting a panic brake operation based on a change of a braking pressure of a braking system of the host vehicle with respect to time. The method includes detecting a second vehicle driving behind the host vehicle and in the same lane as the host vehicle, and determining a time-to-collision value between the host vehicle and the second vehicle. Further, the method includes determining a deceleration rate of the host vehicle based on a driver braking pressure provided by operation of a brake pedal of the braking system. The method includes controlling the braking system based on the time-to-collision value and the deceleration rate.
