    Abstract: A vehicle system for braking a vehicle includes a first sensor system for recording a first image of a vehicle's environment, an evaluation unit for evaluating the first image, a second sensor system for recording a second image of the vehicle's environment, and a second evaluation unit. The first evaluation unit identifies a critical braking situation in the first image and the second evaluation unit identifies a critical braking situation in the second image. The vehicle system initiates braking with a first braking force when a critical braking situation is identified in the first image, initiates braking with a second braking force when a critical braking situation is identified in the second image, and initiates braking with a third braking force when a critical braking situation is identified in both the first and second images, wherein the third braking force is stronger than the first and second braking forces.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a controller and a control method that improve safety of a saddled vehicle.
    According to the controller and the control method, a determination unit determines whether a braking operation unit is in operation, based on an output from a detector configured to detect a state quantity of the braking operation unit. An execution unit executes a driving support mode, in which a braking force generated in the saddled vehicle is amplified, when the determination unit determines that the braking operation unit is in operation. The execution unit, in the driving support mode: amplifies the braking force based on a surrounding environment information that is information about environment around the saddled vehicle; and changes, based on a degree of change in the output from the detector, a degree of reduction in the braking force at the end of the amplification of the braking force generated in the saddled vehicle.

    Abstract: A control device to be applied to a vehicle includes one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more processors acquire detection values by respective sensors. The sensors detect the same detection target including a distance to a target, a speed of the vehicle, or both. The one or more processors determine whether or not the detection values by the sensors differ by a predetermined threshold value or more. The one or more processors determine a reference value based on the detection values by the sensors, by a determination method set in accordance with a control using data regarding the detection target, when the detection values by the sensors differ by the predetermined threshold value or more. The one or more processors carry out the control based on the reference value.

    Abstract: A vehicular control system includes a camera, a radar sensor and a processor operable to process image data captured by the camera and radar data captured by the radar sensor. The system determines that it is not safe to proceed with an intended turn at an intersection responsive to determination that the intended turn at the intersection will not be completed before an estimated time to arrival of an approaching vehicle at the intersection elapses and/or determination that a pedestrian is present at the intersection where the equipped vehicle will turn. The system determines that it is safe to proceed with the intended turn at the intersection responsive at least in part to determination that the intended turn at the intersection will be completed before the estimated time to arrival elapses and determination that no pedestrian is present at the intersection where the equipped vehicle will turn.

    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes an information acquirer that acquires information on driving conditions of a vehicle at least containing a steering angle and a vehicle speed, a distribution amount setter that sets a distribution amount of a brake force to each of multiple wheels provided in the vehicle based on the driving conditions of the vehicle; and a brake controller that performs brake control of each of the multiple wheels according to the distribution amount set by the distribution amount setter. When the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a 22nd vehicle speed value within a low vehicle speed range, the distribution amount setter sets the distribution amount of a brake force to each of the multiple wheels including a specific wheel to a value which is smaller than a distribution amount when the vehicle speed exceeds the 22nd vehicle speed value.
