    Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling travel of an own vehicle which is a vehicle carrying the apparatus, an information acquirer is configured to acquire information regarding a target around the own vehicle from a target detector. A controller is configured to, if determining, using the target information acquired by the information acquirer, that if travel of the own vehicle is continued in accordance with a collision avoidance trajectory determined to avoid a collision with an object located on a roadway ahead of the own vehicle, the own vehicle is likely to collide with the object or another object, change a setting of a driving state of the own vehicle so as to avoid or reduce a likelihood of the collision.

    Abstract: In an apparatus for recognizing a road shape of a travel route of a first vehicle, a surrounding environment recognizer repeatedly recognizes, as surroundings information, at least shapes of roadside objects or travel histories of second vehicles that are vehicles other than the first vehicle, located around the first vehicle in a travel direction of the first vehicle. A sequence-of-point estimator repeatedly estimates, using the surroundings information, a reference line connecting a sequence of points that represent the road shape of the travel route in the travel direction of the first vehicle. A first lane boundary setter repeatedly sets a first lane boundary that is a boundary of a lane of the first vehicle, located at a first distance from the reference line to a respective one of the left and the right of the first vehicle in a vehicle-widthwise direction of the first vehicle.

    Abstract: A notification control device includes an occupant state identifying unit, a behavior change obtaining unit, and a notification processing unit. The occupant state identifying unit is configured to identify a state of an occupant of the vehicle among a plurality of states. The behavior change obtaining unit is configured to obtain an imminent behavior change of the vehicle during the automated driving. The notification processing unit is configured to cause a notification device to notify the occupant of the imminent behavior change when the imminent behavior change obtained by the behavior change obtaining unit satisfies a notification condition. The notification condition is set for each of the plurality of states. The notification condition for a first distracted state categorized into a distracted group is different from the notification condition for a second distracted state categorized into the distracted group.

    Abstract: A reliability calculation apparatus calculates a reliability of a recognized object that is recognized as being present on a route on which a vehicle travels. The reliability of the recognized object is used for driving control of the vehicle. In the reliability calculation apparatus, a provisional reliability calculating unit determines a feature quantity of each of a plurality of recognized objects, selects a plurality of pairs of recognized objects from the plurality of recognized objects, determines a difference in feature quantity of each pair of recognized objects, and calculates a reliability that decreases as the difference in feature quantity increases as a provisional reliability of each pair of recognized objects. An integrated reliability calculating unit calculates an integrated reliability of each recognized object from the provisional reliabilities of the plurality of pairs of recognized objects.

    Abstract: A roadside object recognition apparatus recognizes a roadside object that is present on a travel route on which an own vehicle travels. The roadside object is used for driving control of the vehicle. In the roadside object recognition apparatus, a reflection point acquiring unit acquires, using a radar that emits electromagnetic waves, a reflection-point group of reflection points of the electromagnetic waves reflected by an object that is present on the travel route. An image acquiring unit acquires an image of the travel route using a camera. A reflection point correcting unit corrects the reflection-point group by removing an erroneous reflection point that is determined to be highly likely not to be a reflection point of a roadside object from the reflection-point group through image processing of the image. A shape recognizing unit recognizes a shape of the roadside object using the corrected reflection-point group.
