Patent number: 12110030Abstract: A vehicle behavior estimation system includes: a yaw rate sensor that detects a yaw rate of a diagnosis target vehicle; a vehicle speed sensor that detects a vehicle speed of the diagnosis target vehicle; and a processor. The processor acquires a first curvature that is a curvature of a traveling locus of the diagnosis target vehicle based on the yaw rate and the vehicle speed, and performs a driving diagnosis related to steering of the diagnosis target vehicle based on a criterion and a curvature-related value. The criterion defines a relationship between a steering angle-related value that is a value based on a steering angle of a steering wheel of a reference vehicle that is a vehicle different from the diagnosis target vehicle and a behavior of the reference vehicle caused by steering. The curvature-related value is a value based on the first curvature.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yusuke Kawamura
