Abstract: Whether a driver is driving intentionally is determined rapidly and accurately when steering control is performed such that a vehicle travels along recognized travel partitioning lines. A torque value deviation absolute value is calculated using the absolute value of a difference between the torque value from the previous processing and the torque value from the current processing, and is stored in a ring buffer. A torque value deviation sum value is calculated by adding all the torque value deviation absolute values stored in the ring buffer, and when a state in which the torque value deviation sum value is equal to or less than a predetermined driving intention determination threshold continues for a predetermined first threshold time (for example, several seconds; e.g. 5 seconds) or longer, it is determined that there is a decrease in the driving intention.

Abstract: An imaging system for a vehicle includes an imaging sensor and a control. The imaging sensor is operable to capture an image of a scene occurring exteriorly of the vehicle. The control receives the captured image, which comprises an image data set representative of the exterior scene. The control may apply an edge detection algorithm to a reduced image data set of the image data set. The reduced image data set is representative of a target zone of the captured image. The control may be operable to process the reduced image data set more than other image data, which are representative of areas of the captured image outside of the target zone, to detect objects present within the target zone. The imaging system may be associated with a side object detection system, a lane change assist system, a lane departure warning system and/or the like.

Abstract: An automobile distance warning and alarm system (ADWAS) in which the warning system is armed when the vehicle exceeds a threshold speed. The vehicle speed is used, along with road or weather conditions, to determine a safe vehicle separation time and corresponding distance. A range finder then determines the actual separation distance between the driver's vehicle and a forward or following vehicle. If the safe separation distance is not maintained for a selected dead time interval, the driver is alerted by an alarm, which may be both an audible and visual alarm. The driver of a following vehicle is also alerted by a rear indicator light.

Abstract: In an environment monitoring system for a vehicle, when a detecting means decides that an approaching vehicle cannot be detected by an image processing means, a waning means gives warning of this fact. Thus, the environment monitoring system permits one's own vehicle to run with safety even when the approaching vehicle cannot be detected.

The operator is warned by a heads up display and other modes and may override. An automotive auto-pilot mode is provided.

Abstract: A vehicle environment monitoring system for an automotive vehicle is capable of accurately detecting the movement of an object existing in an environment of the vehicle, and determining the possibility of collision between the object and the vehicle, thereby appropriately warning the driver. A relative position of the object to the automotive vehicle is detected from the image obtained by a camera mounted on the vehicle to obtain position data. Positions of the object in a real space are calculated based on a plurality of time series items of the position data detected on the object, and a movement vector of the object is calculated based on the positions in the real space. It is determined based on the movement vector whether or not the object has a high possibility of collision against the automotive vehicle.
