Abstract: One or more driving analysis computing devices in a driving analysis system may be configured to analyze driving data, determine driving behaviors, and determine whether a collision is imminent or has occurred using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. Determination of whether a collision has occurred may be based on X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis positional data from two vehicles. Driving data from multiple vehicles may be collected by vehicle sensors or other vehicle-based systems, transmitted using V2V communications, and then analyzed and compared to determine various driving behaviors by the drivers of the vehicles.

Abstract: In a radar apparatus, a determining unit compares a ratio (?Vr/Vn) of a relative velocity (Vr) to a radar-apparatus-installed vehicle velocity (Vn) with a determination value (?) that is a cosine (cos ?c) of the detection limit angle (±?c) or the cosine (cos ?c) plus a correction value including a measurement error. When a determination is made that the ratio (?Vr/Vn) exceeds the determination value (?), a target is determined to be a real target of a crossing object, such as a crossing pedestrian, or a stationary object, whereas when a determination is made that the target is not a real target, the target is determined to be a ghost of a crossing object or a stationary object. Thus, a real target of a crossing object or a stationary object can be distinguished from a ghost of the object, and hence a ghost is not falsely determined to be a real target, preventing inappropriate brake control.
