    Abstract: A vehicular brake control apparatus detects risky occasions and locations that may be risky by using, for example, an infrastructure information input device or a navigation device, and, for such locations and the like, performs the pre-charge so that braking force will be promptly generated. Therefore, the pre-charge can be precisely performed under necessary circumstances, irrespectively of the driver's accelerator operation. Hence, when the driver depresses the brake pedal at such a location or the like, braking force will be promptly generated. Thus, accidents and the like can be prevented.

    Abstract: A system and method for brake pre-charging includes pre-filling brakes, based on proximity information from a forward-looking sensor, to reduce the initial delays associated with braking. By reducing the initial delay in converting driver brake pressure requests into actual brake torque to the wheels, the stopping distance required for braking is reduced.

    Abstract: In a vehicle to vehicle distance control device when a headway distance between a controlled vehicle in which the device is provided and a forward vehicle approaches or falls below a predetermined value a control unit controls the vehicle speed of the controlled vehicle so as to keep the headway distance at a predetermined value. When the device becomes unable to detect the presence of a forward vehicle, a constant speed control is provided for the controlled vehicle using either the controlled vehicle speed before the device became unable to detect the forward vehicle or a corrected vehicle speeds until an accelerator is operated. After the accelerator is operated, speed control is performed using a vehicle speed set by a driver of the vehicle.

    Abstract: An adaptive cruise control module (1) for automatically bringing a vehicle to a halt behind a target vehicle includes a look-up table (8) holding pre-computed brake demand values for given target ranges and vehicle speeds. A controller (7) applies an appropriately selected brake demand value to the vehicle's braking system (4) until the vehicle comes to rest. The look-up table (8) values are computed such that the rate of deceleration and rate of change of deceleration closely match those applied by a typical driver when manually stopping a vehicle. A further refinement allows the vehicle to creep along behind the target vehicle in a slowly-moving queue of traffic by providing the look-up table (8) with throttle demand values for given target ranges for application to a throttle control system (5, 6).

    Abstract: In a warning apparatus for a vehicle, a primary controller (5) calculates a collision time (TTC) according to the distance between the vehicle and an object that is present in front of the vehicle and a relative speed between the vehicle and the front object. According to the collision time, the primary controller sets a correction value (Fc) for at least one of the driving force and braking force of the vehicle and provides a contact possibility warning by applying a negative acceleration to the vehicle according to the correction value. The correction value is set according to comparison between the collision time and a threshold and according to the collision time. A resilient coefficient (k_JTC) of a virtual spring (502) is increased so that the correction value may increase as the speed of the vehicle increases.
