Abstract:
A lane keeping control method for a vehicle may include determining, by a controller, whether a wheel speed difference exists between predetermined wheels, during braking while the vehicle travels straight, determining, by the controller, a reference wheel and a control wheel, based on the wheel speed difference between the predetermined wheels, and reducing, by the controller, a wheel speed difference between the reference wheel and the control wheel by performing pre-decompression control for the control wheel, when the wheel speed difference exists.
Abstract:
Described herein is a vehicle system configured to identify and mitigate inappropriate driving behavior. In some embodiments, the vehicle system may receive input information from one or more input sensors. The vehicle system may identify driving behaviors related to a vehicle from the received input. The vehicle system may determine whether the driving behaviors are inappropriate in light of one or more conditions affecting the vehicle. Upon identifying inappropriate behavior, the vehicle system may generate a set of corrective actions capable of being executed to mitigate the inappropriate driving behavior.
Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling start-up of a lane keeping assistance system (LKAS) which prevents lane departure of a first vehicle includes a detecting unit configured to detect a second vehicle which is traveling in a neighboring lane, a dividing line interposed between the first vehicle and the second vehicle, and a start-up controlling unit configured to determine a weighting factor based on a detection result of the detecting unit, change parameters which control a time point of the start-up of the LKAS based on the determined weighting factor, and control the time point of the start-up of the LKAS based on the changed parameters.
Abstract:
A vehicular control system includes a plurality of cameras that capture image data, at least one radar sensor that senses radar data and a control that processes image data captured by the cameras and sensed radar data. The control, responsive to processing of captured image data, detects lane markers and/or road edges and determines curvature of the road being traveled by the equipped vehicle. The control processes captured image data and sensed radar data to detect vehicles. The control, based on processing of captured image data and/or sensed radar data, detects another vehicle and determines distance from the equipped vehicle to the detected other vehicle. The control may, based at least in part on the detection of another vehicle and the determination of distance from the equipped vehicle to the detected other vehicle, determine whether it is safe for the equipped vehicle to execute a lane change maneuver.
Abstract:
A travel control device includes: a vehicle detection device configured to detect a position of a peripheral vehicle that travels in a periphery of a host vehicle in a lane, in which the host vehicle travels, or a lane adjacent to and heading in a same direction of the host vehicle; a generation device configured to assign a potential field to a predetermined region, which is adjacent to the position of the peripheral vehicle, the potential field indicating a degree of psychological pressure received by a driver of the host vehicle, and configured to generate a potential distribution that represents a distribution of the potential field of the peripheral vehicle on a road; and a control device configured to control a travel condition of the host vehicle that the host vehicle travels in the potential field relatively low in the potential distribution.
Abstract:
A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes a forward-viewing camera disposed in a windshield electronics module attached at a windshield of the vehicle and viewing through the windshield. A control includes a processor that, responsive to processing of captured image data, detects lane markers on a road being traveled by the vehicle. The processor determines curvature of the road being traveled by the vehicle and detects another vehicle that is present exterior of the equipped vehicle and determines that the detected other vehicle is in the same traffic lane as the equipped vehicle or is in an adjacent traffic lane. The processor processes captured image data to determine distance from the equipped vehicle to the detected other vehicle that is present exterior of the equipped vehicle and within the exterior field of view of the forward-viewing camera. The processor processes captured image data for vehicle speed control.
Abstract:
The electric parking brake control device performs accelerator release control for moving a friction-applying member to a standby position when a vehicle starting operation is performed, the standby position being positioned between a locked position and a released position such that friction-applying member moves from the standby position to the locked position within a time which is shorter than a time required to move from the released position to the locked position. The electric parking brake control device determines whether it is unnecessary to maintain the standby position, based on whether a state in which a vehicle speed exceeds a specific speed threshold value is maintained for a predetermined period of time. The release control is performed when the electric parking brake control device determines that it is unnecessary to maintain the standby position.
Abstract:
Methods of assessing driver behavior include monitoring vehicle systems and driver monitoring systems to accommodate for a slow reaction time, attention lapse and/or alertness of a driver. When it is determined that a driver is drowsy, for example, the response system may modify the operation of one or more vehicle systems. The response system can modify the control of two or more systems simultaneously in response to driver behavior.
Abstract:
A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes a forward facing camera and a control comprising an image processor that processes image data captured by the forward facing camera. The control receives vehicle data relating to the vehicle, including vehicle speed and vehicle steering angle, via a vehicle bus of the vehicle. Via processing by the image processor of image data captured by the forward facing camera, the control is operable to detect a road marking on the road being traveled by the vehicle and to the left of the vehicle. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data by the image processor, the control determines a driving condition of the vehicle, such as the type of lane markers present ahead of the vehicle, a traffic condition at or ahead of the vehicle, and/or a hazardous condition at or ahead of the vehicle.
Abstract:
Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, a method for navigating a user vehicle may include acquiring, using at least one image capture device, a plurality of images of an area in a vicinity of the user vehicle; determining from the plurality of images a first lane constraint on a first side of the user vehicle and a second lane constraint on a second side of the user vehicle opposite to the first side of the user vehicle; enabling the user vehicle to pass a target vehicle if the target vehicle is determined to be in a lane different from the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling; and causing the user vehicle to abort the pass before completion of the pass, if the target vehicle is determined to be entering the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling.
