  • Patent number: 11932307
    Abstract: A steering control device includes a distance calculation unit which calculates a distance between a front gaze point, which is on a straight line extending forward of a vehicle from a center of the vehicle, and a center line indicating the center of a lane where a vehicle is traveling, a steering angle detection unit which detects a steering angle of the vehicle, and a steering control unit which causes a motor, which assists steering of the vehicle, to assist the steering based on an angle formed by the lane and the straight line extending forward of the vehicle when the distance is larger than a predetermined distance, and causes the motor to assist the steering so as to fix the steering angle when the distance is the predetermined distance or smaller.

  • Patent number: 11505188
    Abstract: A vehicle speed control device 1 mounted in a vehicle comprises: a forward detection unit 121 that obtains the amount of time until a vehicle Vb to be overtaken that is traveling to the side of a host vehicle Va, in which the vehicle speed device 1 is mounted, is overtaken; a rearward detection unit 122 that obtains the amount of time until the distance between the host vehicle Va and a following vehicle Vc traveling rearward of the host vehicle Va reaches a prescribed rearward distance; and a speed control unit 123 that increases the speed of the host vehicle Va when the time until overtaking occurs is greater than the time until the prescribed rearward distance is reached.

  • Publication number: 20200331528
    Abstract: A vehicle control device 10 is provided with: a preceding vehicle detecting unit 123 which detects an amount of change in a lateral direction, with respect to a lane in which a vehicle is traveling, of a preceding vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle; and a steering control unit 124 which, if the detected amount of change is less than a prescribed amount, performs tracking control to control the steering of the vehicle in such a way that the vehicle tracks to the lateral position, within the lane, of the preceding vehicle, and stops the tracking control if the detected amount of change is equal to or greater than the prescribed amount.
