Drive assisting device

Номер: US20120035825A1

Автор: Mitsuhiko Morita

Принадлежит: Toyota Motor Corp

A radar sensor detects a traveling state of a host vehicle. An inter-vehicle control ECU gives the amount of operation for the predetermined amount of control of the host vehicle so that the traveling state of the host vehicle detected by the radar sensor becomes a predetermined state. The amount of operation given by the inter-vehicle control ECU is reduced as a kind of restriction when the amount of operation given by the inter-vehicle control ECU becomes equal to or larger than a predetermined value. As a result, it is possible to reduce the dependence of the driver on the device.

A system and method for providing an optimal collision avoidance path for a host vehicle that may potentially collide with a target vehicle. The method includes providing off-line an optimization look-up table for storing on the host vehicle that includes an optimal vehicle braking or longitudinal deceleration and an optimal distance along the optimal path based on a range of speeds of the host vehicle and coefficients of friction of the roadway surface. The method determines the current speed of the host vehicle and the coefficient of friction of the roadway surface during the potential collision, and uses the look-up table to determine the optimal longitudinal deceleration or braking of the host vehicle for the optimal vehicle path. The method also determines an optimal lateral acceleration or steering of the host vehicle for the optimal vehicle path based on a friction ellipse and the optimal braking.

A vehicular wireless communication apparatus is disposed in a subject vehicle to establish vehicle-to-vehicle communication between the subject vehicle and other vehicles having the apparatus. The apparatus of the subject vehicle receives sensor state information from an immediate following vehicle. Based on the sensor state information, the apparatus of the subject vehicle controls a transmission cycle of the information transmitted. A longer interval is selected when the immediate following vehicle has a range sensor and the range sensor successfully detects an obstacle in front of it. A standard interval, shorter than the longer interval, is selected when the immediate following vehicle does not have the range sensor or when the immediate following vehicle has the range sensor but the range sensor failed to detect the obstacle. Therefore, the transmission cycle is dependent upon the need of the information while preventing congestion of information transmission.

Speed Control System and Method Having a Distance Sensor, Intended for a Motor Vehicle

Номер: US20130204505A1

Автор: Thomas Sauer

Принадлежит: Bayerische Motoren Werke AG

A motor vehicle speed control system having a distance sensor operates in a first mode when the vehicle is traveling on a clear stretch of road in which a predetermined desired vehicle speed is set. In a second mode when the vehicle is following another vehicle, a predetermined minimum distance from a selected target object is set. The target object is selected by a first selection process that screens out stationary objects. When a defined condition prevails, the first mode switches into a third mode in the form of deceleration, wherein a second selection process is started which also evaluates stationary target objects. Until a target object is selected, the vehicle travels on a clear road with deceleration initiated which is reduced relative to following another vehicle. If a target object is selected by the second selection process, the system switches over without delay from the third mode into the second mode.

A platoon control system includes a platoon control in communication with a plurality of individual platoon vehicle controls associated with respective platoon vehicles of a platoon of vehicles traveling along an initial traffic lane. The platoon control determines if there is sufficient clearance in another lane for the platoon of vehicles. Responsive to the platoon control, the individual platoon vehicle controls control the respective platoon vehicles to maneuver the platoon vehicles from the initial traffic lane to the other lane in a manner that limits or substantially precludes other vehicles from interrupting the platoon of vehicles. Responsive to the platoon control, the individual platoon vehicle controls control the respective platoon vehicles so that the last platoon vehicle of the platoon of vehicles enters the other lane first and then the other platoon vehicles enter the other lane ahead of the last vehicle in a predetermined controlled manner.

Disclosed are a system and a method of recognizing a travelled lane of a vehicle, which recognize a currently travelled lane by using an image obtained through a camera of a vehicle or information received from a road system. Further, the system and the method detect whether the vehicle changes a lane by using sensing data of the vehicle, current location information, road map data, and the like, and when it is confirmed that the vehicle changes a lane or enters a new lane, the system and the method make the vehicle immediately recognize a currently travelled lane by combining information about the change of a lane or the new lane with information about the first recognized travelled lane. Accordingly, the present invention may make a vehicle recognize a travelled lane even when it is difficult to recognize a lane by a camera, and rapidly obtain information about the change of a lane and an entry lane, thereby determining a final lane. Further, the present invention provides a corresponding vehicle and surrounding vehicles with information about the final lane, so that the information may be utilized in an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) or a V2V application service.
