Abstract: In a surroundings monitoring device for a vehicle to which a towed vehicle is attachable, a turn information acquisition unit is configured to, when a subject vehicle is turning with the towed vehicle attached to a rear of the subject vehicle, acquire turn information related to the subject vehicle and the towed vehicle. A zone setting unit is configured to set warning zones to left and right, behind the subject vehicle, and extend, based on the turn information acquired, the warning zones further rearward when the towed vehicle is attached to the rear of the subject vehicle than when there is no towed vehicle attached. A control unit is configured to, when an object is detected by a detection device in any of the warning zones set by the zone setting unit, trigger a collision-inhibiting operation for inhibiting a collision with the object to be performed.

Abstract: A periphery monitoring apparatus is applied for a vehicle provided with a ranging sensor that transmits probe waves and receives reflection waves of the probe waves, setting a precaution region in a laterally rear side of an own vehicle and causing a collision avoidance operation to be executed when the ranging sensor detects an object in the precaution region. The periphery monitoring apparatus is provided with an acquiring unit that acquires lane information indicating presence or absence of a lane marking on a traffic lane; a recognition unit that recognizes a position of the lane marking based on the lane information; and a precaution region setting unit that sets the precaution region based on the position of the lane marking recognized by the recognition unit.

Abstract: A brake control device includes a processor that controls a brake device of a vehicle. The processor receives a first braking request indicating first braking force by the brake device which is requested from an application that implements a driver assistance function of the vehicle. The processor receives a second braking request indicating second braking force by the brake device which is requested depending on an operation amount of a brake pedal of the vehicle. The processor starts override control when the processor receives the second braking request while the processor controls the brake device in accordance with the first braking request.

Abstract: A controller computes availability of the vehicle that indicates a range reachable by the vehicle by actuation of the actuator and generates a first travel route within a range of the availability of the vehicle, as a travel route followed by the vehicle, when the vehicle travels along a road ahead of the vehicle from a present position. When the road includes a curve and the first travel route cannot be generated within the availability range, the controller sets a target position to a position in the road located before the curve and generates a second travel route within the availability range, as the travel route followed by the vehicle, to stop the vehicle at the target position.

Abstract: A controller for a vehicle is configured to execute a process that detects an anomaly of a steering device and a process that performs an automatic turning control that causes the vehicle to turn automatically along a traveling route. The controller is configured to perform the automatic turning control by controlling the steering device when an anomaly of the steering device is not detected. The controller is configured to, when an anomaly of the steering device is detected, calculate, as a predicted value, a load on the substitute device on an assumption that the automatic turning control is performed by activating the substitute device, and perform the automatic turning control by controlling the substitute device when an allowable range that is a set of values of a load allowable to the substitute device includes the predicted value.

Abstract: A turning controller for a vehicle is configured to execute: a time obtaining process that obtains collision prediction time; a lateral movement amount determining process that determines whether a target lateral movement amount is greater than or equal to a lateral movement amount determination value; and an automatic turning process that, in a case in which the collision prediction time is shorter than or equal to a determination prediction time, outputs a command for steering the front wheel to the front wheel steering device and outputs a command for steering the rear wheel to the rear wheel steering device, in order to avoid a collision between the vehicle and the obstacle; a counter-phase process in the automatic turning process in a case in which the target lateral movement amount is determined to be greater than or equal to the lateral movement amount determination value.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a sideslip preventing function of preventing a sideslip of the vehicle by separately adjusting a longitudinal force applied to each of the wheels. A controller controls the vehicle based on requests input from a driver assistance device, thereby causing the vehicle to travel autonomously. The controller calculates wheel lateral force request values based on the requests input from the driver assistance device. The wheel lateral force request values are request values of lateral forces acting on the respective wheels. The controller, when a behavior of the vehicle is in an oversteer state in a case in which the sideslip preventing function is failing, limits the wheel lateral force request values for the front wheels to values less than or equal to a first lateral force limit value, which is a limit value of the lateral force that can act on the rear wheels.
