Abstract: A collision avoidance ECU estimates a traveling locus based on an estimated curve radius of an own vehicle in a basic traveling locus estimating unit, and in a changed traveling locus estimating unit, obtains separation distances between an own vehicle and white lines based on the relative positional relationship between an own vehicle and the white lines, and estimates, as a changed traveling locus, a route along the white lines with the obtained separation distances maintained. In a collision judging unit, when auto-steering control and departure warning control are not performed, collision judgment is performed based on the basic traveling locus estimated in the basic traveling locus estimating unit, and when the auto-steering control and departure warning control are performed, the traveling locus is changed to the changed traveling locus estimated in the changed traveling locus estimating unit and collision judgment is performed.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for controlling a subsystem of a vehicle dependent upon a sensed level of driver inattentiveness to vehicle driving tasks. A variable characteristic is measured, on a substantially real-time basis, which correlates to the driver's inattentiveness. The level of inattentiveness is assessed based at least in part on the measurement. The performance of a subsystem of the vehicle, such as cruise control or lane keeping support, is tailored, based thereupon, to assure that behavior of the vehicle appropriately matches the driver's present level of inattentiveness. The subsystem's operation is controlled in an effort to avoid or prevent the establishment of driving conditions that become inherently more dangerous as the driver's level of inattentiveness increases.

Abstract: A system for steering a vehicle including: an actuator disposed in a vehicle to apply torque to a steerable wheel; a driver input device receptive to driver commands for directing the vehicle; and a sensor for determining an intent of a driver and generating a signal indicative thereof. The system also includes: a lane keeping system for detecting a location of the vehicle relative to a lane marker and generating a lane position signal indicative thereof; a controller in operable communication with the actuator, the driver input device, the first sensor, and the lane keeping system. The controller provides a command to the actuator responsive to the intent of the driver, the lane position, and a desired lane position. The controller executes a lane keeping algorithm consisting of a single control loop based on at least one of the lane position and the lane position deviation.

Abstract: In a vehicle dynamics control apparatus capable of balancing a vehicle dynamics stability control system and a lane deviation prevention control system, a cooperative control section is provided to make a cooperative control between lane deviation prevention control (LDP) and vehicle dynamics stability control (VDC). When a direction of yawing motion created by LDP control is opposite to a direction of yawing motion created by VDC control, the cooperative control section puts a higher priority on VDC control rather than LDP control. Conversely when the direction of yawing motion created by LDP control is identical to the direction of yawing motion created by VDC control, a higher one of the LDP desired yaw moment and the VDC desired yaw moment is selected as a final desired yaw moment, to prevent over-control, while keeping the effects obtained by both of VDC control and LDP control.

Abstract: A steering mechanism 1 is configured as a steering mechanism which allows an arbitrary relationship to be set between a steering mechanism unit 2 through which steering of a driver is input and a turning mechanism unit 3 for turning wheels 5, 5 to be turned, those units being controlled by an ECU 30 on a steer-by-wire basis. When alarm control to wake up the driver is performed according to a determination indicating a reduction of the wakefulness of the driver, the ECU 30 suspends the steer-by-wire control to control the turning mechanism unit 3 independently of the steering mechanism unit 2. As a result, even when an improper steering input is provided by the driver who is at a low level of wakefulness, it is possible to prevent such mis-steering from being reflected in driving.

Abstract: In a method for monitoring the condition of a vehicle driver, the markings (3) of the lane in which the vehicle is moving are detected and a direction of travel which the vehicle has to follow in order to stay in the lane is determined. In this case, the vehicle driver is assisted in staying in the lane by the steering wheel being automatically centered. If the vehicle exactly follows the determined direction of travel over a certain period of time, this is a sign that the vehicle driver is not actively steering the vehicle, and a warning signal is generated.
