    Abstract: In a driving support device for a vehicle, a collision prediction unit uses a determination plane defined by a lateral position axis indicating a position with respect to a vehicle in a lateral direction orthogonal to a vehicle traveling direction and a prediction time period axis indicating a time-to-collision set in the vehicle traveling direction. The collision prediction unit establishes a collision prediction area as an area in the determination plane. Further, the collision prediction unit determines whether at least a part of the section between both ends of a target is within the collision prediction area in the determination plane. Depending on the determination, the collision prediction unit predicts a collision with the target. The width of the collision prediction area along a lateral position axis is set based on the width of the vehicle. The lateral position of the collision prediction area is set based on a product between the speed of the target and the time-to-collision.

    Abstract: An object detection device detects an object moving in the area surrounding an own object. The object detection device includes: an information obtainment unit which obtains an object speed value that is at least one of a speed and an acceleration of the object in a lateral direction which is orthogonal to a predetermined direction of the area surrounding the own object; and an upper limit setting unit which sets an upper limit of the object speed value on the basis of angle information that is the relationship indicating an angle of a moving direction of the object with respect to the predetermined direction.

    Abstract: In a driving assistance device for performing a driving assistance process to avoid or mitigate a collision between an own vehicle, which is a vehicle carrying the driving assistance device, and an oncoming vehicle detected within a predefined region ahead of the own vehicle, an entry determiner is configured to determine whether one of the own vehicle and the oncoming vehicle is likely to enter a lane in which the other one is present. An actuation controller is configured to, in response to the entry determiner determining that each one of the own vehicle and the oncoming vehicle is unlikely to enter the lane of the other, restrict actuation of the driving assistance process, and in response to the entry determiner determining that any one of the own vehicle and the oncoming vehicle is likely to enter the lane of the other, not restrict actuation of the driving assistance process.

    Abstract: In a collision avoidance apparatus for a vehicle, a collision avoidance controller is configured to calculate a movement trajectory of a moving object moving on a road crossing a road that the vehicle is traveling on from a succession of locations of the moving object, calculate a movement trajectory of the vehicle using a speed of the vehicle, determine whether the movement trajectory of the moving object is a trajectory of a moving object likely colliding with the vehicle, and in response to determining that the movement trajectory of the moving object is a trajectory of a moving object likely colliding with the vehicle and that the moving object fails to be recognized by a camera due to a view of the moving object being obstructed, calculate a risk index for determining a collision avoidance measure and employ the collision avoidance measure in dependence upon the risk index.

    Abstract: A moving object control apparatus activates a safety device that avoids a collision between a moving object and an object present ahead of the moving object in its moving direction or reduces damage from a collision when the moving object is likely to collide with the object. The moving object control apparatus includes a restricting unit that restricts activation of the safety device based on angle information including at least one of an angle of a moving direction of the object relative to the moving direction of the moving object and a change in angle per time.

    Abstract: A driving support device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a lateral position, lateral velocity, and lateral acceleration of another vehicle; a first determination unit that, based on the lateral position and lateral velocity of the other vehicle, determines that the other vehicle is moving toward an own lane; a second determination unit that, when the first determination unit determines the movement of the other vehicle, determines whether the lateral acceleration of the other vehicle has increased to a negative side in the own lane; and a driving support unit that, when the first determination unit determines that the other vehicle is moving toward the own lane and the second determination unit does not determine that the lateral acceleration of the other vehicle has increased to the negative side, does not set the other vehicle as a target vehicle of the driving support.

    Abstract: A moving object control apparatus includes an object detecting device that detects an object present around a moving object. The moving object control apparatus performs predetermined control based on a detection result of the object detecting device while the moving object is moving. In the moving object control apparatus a trajectory of a stationary object relative to the moving object is acquired and a moving direction of the moving object is acquired. An angle of axial displacement of a center axis of the object detecting device is calculated, as axial displacement information, based on the trajectory and the moving direction. The predetermined control is performed based on the axial displacement information. A regulating unit regulates reflecting the axial displacement information in the predetermined control if an absolute value of an angular acceleration around a center of gravity of the moving object is larger than a preset threshold value.

    Abstract: An object detection apparatus includes a radar apparatus, an image capture device, a radar-detection target position detection section, and an image-detection target position detection section. In the apparatus, it is determined that the radar-detection target and the image-detection target are identical when a positional relationship between the targets corresponds to a predetermined relationship. Mitigation control for mitigating a collision between the own vehicle and an identical target is executed when the radar-detection target and the image-detection target are determined to be identical and the distance between the own vehicle and the identical target is smaller than a predetermined distance. Execution of the mitigation control is prevented from being executed, when the distance between the radar-detection target and the image-detection target has increased or decreased monotonically for an interval longer than a predetermined interval.

    Abstract: A traveling assistance apparatus controls a safety apparatus for avoiding collision between an own vehicle and an object, based on detection information from an object detection apparatus. The assistance apparatus calculates a predicted time to collision of a target object and the own vehicle, and operates the safety apparatus in response to the predicted time to collision being equal to or less than a predetermined operation timing. In response to a steering operation by a driver for collision avoidance of the own vehicle being performed, the assistance apparatus performs operation-stop in which operation of the safety apparatus is stopped or operation-delay in which the operation timing is delayed. The assistance apparatus suppresses the operation-stop or the operation-delay in response to a target object serving as a collision avoidance target being recognized in a path of the own vehicle after the steering operation by the driver, based on the detection information.

    Abstract: A vehicle collision prediction apparatus, installable to a host vehicle that is equipped with a peripheral sensor for detecting a preceding vehicle, includes a collision prediction region setting section that sets a collision prediction region in front of the host vehicle and a collision prediction section which predicts that there is a probability of a collision between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle if the preceding vehicle is within the collision prediction region; wherein in response to the preceding vehicle satisfying predetermined U-turn conditions for estimating that the preceding vehicle is executing a U-turn, the collision prediction region setting section expands the collision prediction region, making the collision prediction region larger than in response to the preceding vehicle not satisfying the U-turn conditions.
