Abstract: A vision system for a vehicle includes an imaging sensor operable to capture an image data set representative of a scene occurring in the exterior field of view of the imaging sensor. A processor processes the captured image data set via an edge detection algorithm, which is applied to a reduced image data set of the captured image data set to detect edges of objects present exteriorly of the equipped vehicle and within a target zone within the exterior field of view of the imaging sensor. The reduced data set is processed more than other image data of the captured image data set in order to detect objects present exteriorly of the equipped vehicle and within the target zone. The target zone encompasses a geographic area of the exterior scene where an object of interest to the driver of the equipped vehicle is realistically expected to be present.

Abstract: An apparatus for warning deviation from a lane has a deviation evaluation ECU 1. The deviation evaluation ECU 1 has a deviation evaluator 14 for performing an evaluation on a deviation by comparing a future position of a host vehicle with a lane future position. Before this deviation evaluation, a mask processor 13 determines whether a yaw angle of the host vehicle and a lateral position of the vehicle relative to a driving lane exceed their respective thresholds preliminarily determined. When either one or the both are not more than the thresholds, the mask processor 13 performs a mask process, without performing the deviation evaluation. A deviation evaluator 14 performs the deviation evaluation when the yaw angle and the lateral position relative to the driving lane both exceed their respective thresholds.

Abstract: An imaging system for a vehicle includes an imaging sensor and a control. The imaging sensor is operable to capture an image of a scene occurring exteriorly of the vehicle. The control receives the captured image, which comprises an image data set representative of the exterior scene. The control may apply an edge detection algorithm to a reduced image data set of the image data set. The reduced image data set is representative of a target zone of the captured image. The control may be operable to process the reduced image data set more than other image data, which are representative of areas of the captured image outside of the target zone, to detect objects present within the target zone. The imaging system may be associated with a side object detection system, a lane change assist system, a lane departure warning system and/or the like.

Abstract: A lane departure prevention apparatus is provided to improve safety while preventing lane departure. The lane departure prevention apparatus determines whether or not the driver is holding the steering wheel steady, determines whether or not the host vehicle has a tendency to depart from its driving lane, and, on the basis of these determination results, outputs a warning and performs braking control for avoiding the lane departure of the host vehicle when the host vehicle has a tendency to depart from its driving lane, and the driver is not holding the steering wheel steady.

Abstract: A steering mechanism 1 is configured as a steering mechanism which allows an arbitrary relationship to be set between a steering mechanism unit 2 through which steering of a driver is input and a turning mechanism unit 3 for turning wheels 5, 5 to be turned, those units being controlled by an ECU 30 on a steer-by-wire basis. When alarm control to wake up the driver is performed according to a determination indicating a reduction of the wakefulness of the driver, the ECU 30 suspends the steer-by-wire control to control the turning mechanism unit 3 independently of the steering mechanism unit 2. As a result, even when an improper steering input is provided by the driver who is at a low level of wakefulness, it is possible to prevent such mis-steering from being reflected in driving.

Abstract: Whether a driver is driving intentionally is determined rapidly and accurately when steering control is performed such that a vehicle travels along recognized travel partitioning lines. A torque value deviation absolute value is calculated using the absolute value of a difference between the torque value from the previous processing and the torque value from the current processing, and is stored in a ring buffer. A torque value deviation sum value is calculated by adding all the torque value deviation absolute values stored in the ring buffer, and when a state in which the torque value deviation sum value is equal to or less than a predetermined driving intention determination threshold continues for a predetermined first threshold time (for example, several seconds; e.g. 5 seconds) or longer, it is determined that there is a decrease in the driving intention.
