Abstract:
An automotive lane deviation prevention apparatus includes an electronic control unit configured to be electronically connected to a yawing-motion control actuator such as braking force actuators or a steering actuator for lane deviation prevention and vehicle yawing motion control purposes. The control unit has a processor programmed for determining whether or not a host vehicle is traveling on predetermined irregularities formed on or close to either one of a left-hand side lane marking line and a right-hand side lane marking line of a driving lane. The processor is further programmed for executing vehicle yawing motion control by which the host vehicle returns to a central position of the driving lane, when the host vehicle is traveling on the predetermined irregularities.
Abstract:
A driving assisting apparatus for preventing a vehicular collision including a camera, a target detector and a processor. The camera takes an image of a predetermined range in front of a vehicle. The target detector detects in the image a target notifying to stop the vehicle to prevent a vehicular collision. In a case that the target detector detects a plurality of the targets, the processor automatically stops the vehicle at a safe position required to prevent the vehicle from colliding with another vehicle.
Abstract:
A safety device for, in particular, nonrailborne vehicles, having a monitoring device to monitor a hazardous area and additionally the road area, located on the opposite side of the hazardous area viewed from the vehicle and adjoining the hazardous area. Obstacles in the hazardous area and/or road area are detected. An output signal is brought about if an obstacle which prevents the hazardous area being traveled through completely has been detected.
Abstract:
The present lane departure prevention system comprises a driving-power difference generating unit for generating a driving power difference between left and right driving wheels, a braking power difference generating unit for generating a braking power difference between left and right wheels, a departure tendency determining unit for determining a tendency of departure of a vehicle from a lane of travel, and a yaw moment applying unit for switching a departure avoidance control for applying, to the vehicle, a yaw moment generated by the driving-power difference generating unit and a departure avoidance control for applying, to the vehicle, the yaw moment generated by the braking-power difference generating unit, on the basis of a driving state of the vehicle when the departure tendency determining unit determines that the vehicle has a tendency to depart from the lane of travel.
Abstract:
A stability control system for road vehicles comprising a limit handling assistance controller which uses video lane detection measurements in conjunction with vehicle dynamics information, including inertial brakes and steering measurements to control vehicle EPS and VSC systems to assist the driver stabilize the vehicle and correct for any lane offset prior to and/or during of understeer, oversteer, split-μ and heavy breaking conditions, and lane changes.
Abstract:
A lane departure prevention apparatus is configured to conduct a course correction in a lane departure avoidance direction when the controller determines that there is a potential for a vehicle to depart from a driving lane. The controller combines yaw control and deceleration control to conduct departure prevention control in accordance with the lane departure condition and the running condition. Preferably, a target yaw moment in a lane departure avoidance direction is calculated which takes in consideration the running condition of the vehicle such as disturbances changing the vehicle behavior and the road surface friction coefficient of the driving lane, and a deceleration amount of a necessary minimum for suppressing a feeling of discomfort in the passengers stemming from the yaw moment provided to the vehicle is calculated based on the basis of the running condition of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A driver-assist system on a motor vehicle with a servo-assisted steering systems, whereby environmental data for an instantaneous traffic situation are detected or estimated, instantaneous movement data of the vehicle are detected or estimated, and the detected or estimated environmental data are compared with the movement data of the vehicle and the zero point of the characteristic curve for the steering action is displaced according to said comparison.
Abstract:
An automotive lane deviation prevention (LDP) apparatus includes a control unit connected to a yawing-motion control actuator for LDP control purposes. The control unit determines, based on information regarding a lane marking line detected based on a picture image in front of a host vehicle, whether the host vehicle is in a state FLDnull0 where there is an increased tendency for the host vehicle to deviate from the driving lane. The control unit executes, based on a state Fdwnull0 where the host vehicle is traveling on predetermined irregularities formed on or close to the lane marking line and the information regarding the lane marking line, vehicle yawing motion control by which the host vehicle returns to a central position of the driving lane, in a lane-marking non-detecting state Fcamreadynull0 where the lane marking line is out of an image pick-up enabling area.
Abstract:
In lane keep control apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, a deceleration controlled variable is calculated on the basis of a state of a tendency of a vehicular deviation from a traffic lane on which the vehicle is traveling and a braking force acted upon each of driven wheels of the vehicle is controlled on the basis of the calculated deceleration controlled variable.
Abstract:
A lane-keep control system for a host vehicle is arranged to execute a lane-keep control of controlling the host vehicle toward a deviation-preventing direction of preventing the lane deviation according to a vehicle traveling condition when there is a tendency of the lane deviation and to limit the lane-keep control when a determination as to the tendency of the lane deviation is made under a condition that the host vehicle is traveling a lane-deviation area deviated from a traveling lane.
