    Abstract: Under a normal condition, brake fluid pressure generated by a slave cylinder (23) that operates according to operation of a brake pedal (12) is fed to a wheel cylinder (16, 17; 20, 21) to perform braking, while under a fault condition of the slave cylinder (23), brake fluid pressure generated by a master cylinder (11) for backup that operates by the operation of the brake pedal (12) is fed to the wheel cylinder (16, 17; 20, 21) to perform braking. In the latter case, brake fluid fed by a pump (64) is fed to the wheel cylinder (16, 17; 20, 21), before the brake fluid is fed from the master cylinder (11) to the wheel cylinder (16, 17; 20, 21) by a driver depressing the brake pedal (12). Accordingly, without leading to an increase in the stroke of the brake pedal (12), a required amount of brake fluid can be fed to the wheel cylinder (16, 17; 20, 21) to thus ensure a sufficient braking force.

    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a vehicle while operating under a cruise control so as to improve response to driver braking operation and shorten the free running distance by applying a preliminary braking force to a braking device when a preceding vehicle can no longer be recognized during preceding vehicle following control. Basically, the method includes: detecting a preceding vehicle and an inter-vehicle distance to the preceding vehicle from a host vehicle equipped with the vehicle driving control device; executing a preceding vehicle following control to control the inter-vehicle distance to the preceding vehicle towards a target inter-vehicle distance when the preceding vehicle has been recognized; and generating a preliminary braking force upon determination that no preceding vehicle can be recognized during the preceding vehicle following control performed in which the preceding vehicle was previously detected.

    Abstract: A system and method for providing mechanical time dilation by pre-braking a vehicle in the event there is a collision threat so as to reduce or eliminate the need for full automatic braking if the collision becomes imminent. The system calculates a time dilation deceleration to either maintain a time to collision at a previous value before the calculation or at a predetermined value. The system also estimates a projected closing speed of the vehicle to the object at a distance that would require full automatic braking to prevent a collision. The system then determines whether the time dilation deceleration is greater than a decelerating threshold and, if so, provides automatic vehicle braking at the threshold until the vehicle comes to a full stop. If the time dilation deceleration is not greater than the threshold, then the system provides automatic braking to decelerate the vehicle at the time dilation deceleration.

    Abstract: A collision prevention method for motor vehicles is provided, in which method obstacles in front of the vehicle are detected by an on-board positioning system, a collision probability is calculated from the position data, and one or more responses to prevent a collision are triggered as a function of the collision probability. At least one of the responses is a preparatory measure accelerating the implementation of a command, which may be output later, to decelerate the vehicle, without the preparatory measure itself having any significant decelerating effect on the vehicle.

    Abstract: An apparatus for preventing a vehicle collision by using radio communication includes an accelerator pedal sensor for detecting the manipulation state of an accelerator pedal. A control unit receives a signal detected by the accelerator pedal sensor and determines whether the vehicle is in a dangerous condition for outputting a relevant control signal. A radio communication transmitting/receiving module receives the control signal from the control unit and transmits or receives the information to or from vehicles of its dangerous condition. A Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) receives the control signal of the control unit and maintains the brake system in a standby operating mode. When the information of a prospective hazardous condition is transmitted from the front vehicle, the brake systems of rear vehicles are pre-pressured and are shifted to a standby operating mode, thereby reducing the braking distance of the vehicles and preventing vehicle accidents.
