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:
An automotive lane deviation prevention apparatus sets and determines a yaw moment allotted amount corresponding to a yaw-moment-control lane-deviation-avoidance (LDA) controlled variable used to avoid a host vehicle's lane deviation by yaw moment control and a deceleration rate allotted amount corresponding to a deceleration-control LDA controlled variable used to avoid the host vehicle's lane deviation by deceleration control, based on a host vehicle's yaw angle, when the host vehicle has a tendency to deviate from a driving lane. A desired yaw moment is calculated based on the yaw moment allotted amount so that a yaw moment is produced in a direction in which the host vehicle's lane-deviation tendency is avoided. A controlled variable for deceleration control is calculated based on the deceleration rate allotted amount. A braking force of each individual road wheel is controlled based on the desired yaw moment and the controlled variable for deceleration control.

A system and method for controlling onboard equipments, which can make a driver certainly understand operations of alarms corresponding to various functions of a vehicle, and which can make the functions of the vehicle give full effects. When drive guide data corresponding to a set vehicle condition and simulated vehicle condition data concerning the set vehicle condition are stored in a memory (700), and a navigation device (400) plays the drive guide data stored in the memory (700), a system control unit (100) makes a vehicle condition advise unit (200) warn a driver of the set vehicle condition by a simulation on the basis of the simulated vehicle condition data. Accordingly, the driver can know an alarm operation of the vehicle condition advise unit corresponding to the set vehicle condition by the simulation.
Abstract:
An automotive lane deviation prevention (LDP) apparatus includes a control unit detecting whether a host vehicle is in a specific state where the host vehicle is traveling on road-surface irregularities formed on or close to a lane marking line. The control unit actively decelerates the host vehicle when the host vehicle is in the specific state where the host vehicle is traveling on the road-surface irregularities.
Abstract:
A lane departure prevention apparatus is configured to conduct a course correction in a lane departure avoidance direction when the controller 8 determines that there is a potential for a vehicle to depart from a driving lane. The controller 8 combines yaw control and deceleration control to conduct departure prevention control to avoid lane departure. The yaw control is not actuated if the opposite direction from the steering direction coincides with the lane departure direction (steps S10 and S11). Preferably, the controller 8 sets the timing of yaw moment and the deceleration of the vehicle on the basis of the acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, and performs braking control so that these settings are achieved (steps S7 to S9). Preferably, the controller 8 calculates the target yaw moment in the lane departure-avoidance direction on the basis of the running state of the vehicle, and calculates the deceleration amount by taking into account the driver braking operation amount.
Abstract:
A driving assist system for assisting effort by an operator to operate a vehicle in traveling is provided. The driving assist system receives data including information on vehicle state and information on environment in a field around the vehicle. A controller, mounted to the vehicle, determines future environment in the field, makes an operator response plan in response to the determined future environment to determine command, and generates the command. The operator response plan prompts the operator to operating the vehicle in a desired manner for the determined future environment. At least one actuator, mounted to the vehicle, prompts the operator in response to the command to operating the vehicle in the desired manner.
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.
