    Abstract: A system and method assist the driver of a motor vehicle in preventing accidents or minimizing the effects of same. In one form, a television camera is mounted on a vehicle and scans the roadway ahead of the vehicle as the vehicle travels. Continuously generated video picture signals output by the camera are electronically processed and analyzed by an image analyzing computer, which generates codes, that serve to identify obstacles. A decision computer mounted in the controlled vehicle receives such code signals along with code signals generated by the speedometer or one or more sensors sensing steering mechanism operation and generates control signals. Such code signals maybe displayed, and as synthetic speech or special sound generating and warning means used to warn the driver of the vehicle of approaching and existing hazards. The system may also use the control signals, particularly through application of fuzzy logic, to control the operation of the brakes and steering mechanism of the vehicle to avoid or lessen the effects of a collision. In a particular form, the decision computer may select the evasive action taken from a number of choices, depending on whether and where the detection device senses other vehicles or obstacles.

    Abstract: A device for keeping a vehicle in its lane, including a reference model, which obtains geometric data regarding the position of the vehicle in the lane as well as data relating to the course of the lane from a lane detection system, and from these calculates a setpoint variable for controlling the vehicle position. In order to allow for corners to be cut, the guiding behavior of the control system is modified in such a way when cornering that, in the event of a deviation of the path of motion of the vehicle from the setpoint path of motion in the direction of the inside of the curve, no or only low steering forces are applied to the steering system.

    Abstract: A driving aid system is provided for assisting a motor vehicle during a change of lane. The system includes a device monitoring the lateral side space and a device monitoring the directional stability. The lateral space monitoring device is designed to determine the degree of risk (for example, two levels: dangerous/not dangerous, or three levels: low/medium/high risk) represented by a change of lane. At the high risk level, a first driving aid reaction occurs, at least in the form of a counter-steering, which is regulated by a link existing between the lateral space monitoring device and the directional stability monitoring device and is expressed by a reorientation towards the specific traffic lane or by maintaining the directional stability. At the low risk level, a second driving-aid reaction is triggered, which is less perceptible and depends on the degree of likelihood of the intention to change lane.

    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: A conventional brake control can generate only a small yaw moment compared with a steering control, so that reliable avoidance of obstacles cannot be obtained. With a steering control, the driver gets behind the wheel every time when crossing a lane and has an uncomfortable feeling. To solve these problems, a traveling aid device comprises: a detection unit for detecting the traveling state of a vehicle, the position of a lane marker, and the positions and types of obstacles around the vehicle; a calculation unit for calculating, based on the traveling state of the vehicle, the position of the lane marker, and the positions and types of the surrounding obstacles, a target yaw moment so as to prevent a departure from the lane marker and a collision with the surrounding obstacles; and a distribution unit for distributing, based on at least one of the traveling state of the vehicle, the position of the lane marker, and the positions and types of the surrounding obstacles, the target moment to a first actuator for controlling the driving/braking force and a second actuator for controlling the steering.
