    Abstract: In an apparatus for assisting a turn of a vehicle at an intersection, a turn-signal state detection unit is configured to detect an operating state of a turn signal of the vehicle. A road information detection unit is configured to detect road information that is information regarding a road on which the vehicle is traveling. A determination unit is configured to, using at least one of the detected operating state of the turn signal and the detected road information, determine whether or not the vehicle will make a turn at the intersection.

    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes an intersection information detection section that detects information on an intersection, and includes a traveling route detection section that detects a traveling route of the vehicle and a cross road detection section that detects a cross road intersecting the traveling route, an operation detection section that detects a plan of operation of the vehicle at the intersection, a waiting position setting section that sets a waiting position where the vehicle is caused to wait at the intersection until the vehicle becomes possible to perform the operation, and a determination section that determines whether the vehicle can perform the operation by the time a traffic light on the traveling route at the intersection turns red. The waiting position setting section sets a position, where another vehicle is not hindered from traveling on the crossing road by the vehicle stopped at the waiting position, as the waiting position.

    Abstract: To provide a vehicle detection system capable of detecting a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of an own vehicle based on a position of an object by using an electromagnetic wave sensor while suppressing erroneous detection, an ECU determines if first and second positions detected by a millimeter wave radar are included in the same vehicle. The ECU designates calculated information of the preceding vehicle detected based on the first position as a calculation result if it determines that detection of the preceding vehicle is made based on the first position. The ECU uses calculated information of the preceding vehicle detected based on the second position as the calculation result when it determines that detection of the vehicle is not made based on the first position but the first and the second positions had been determined in the past as detected in the same vehicle.

    Abstract: A roadside object recognition apparatus recognizes a roadside object that is present on a travel route on which an own vehicle travels. The roadside object is used for driving control of the vehicle. In the roadside object recognition apparatus, a reflection point acquiring unit acquires, using a radar that emits electromagnetic waves, a reflection-point group of reflection points of the electromagnetic waves reflected by an object that is present on the travel route. An image acquiring unit acquires an image of the travel route using a camera. A reflection point correcting unit corrects the reflection-point group by removing an erroneous reflection point that is determined to be highly likely not to be a reflection point of a roadside object from the reflection-point group through image processing of the image. A shape recognizing unit recognizes a shape of the roadside object using the corrected reflection-point group.

    Abstract: A traveling control apparatus performs a target-following control process on a target to be followed detected by a target detecting unit. Further, the traveling control apparatus calculates a probability that the target to be followed is within an own lane, and determines whether a degree of recognition by the target detecting unit of the target to be followed is in a weakly recognized state where the degree of recognition is weaker than a predetermined degree. The apparatus sets a reliability of the target to be followed on the basis of the probability calculated by a probability calculating process and a determination result by a determining process, and controls acceleration of an own vehicle so that a jerk which is a differential value of the acceleration becomes smaller as the reliability of the target to be followed is lower while the target-following control process is performed.
