    Abstract: A course estimator has a first estimating means, a second estimating means and a determining means. The first estimating means obtains first information and estimating a first radius of a first forward traveling path on the basis of the obtained first information, the first forward traveling path being a part of a forward traveling path to which a vehicle is going to travel. The second estimating means obtains second information and estimating a second radius of a second forward traveling path on the basis of the obtained second information, the second forward traveling path being a part of the forward traveling path to which a vehicle is going to travel, the second forward traveling path being farther from the vehicle than the first traveling being. The determining means determines whether or not there is a changing point where road shapes change between the first forward traveling path and the second forward traveling path on the basis of comparison of the estimated first radius and the estimated second radius.

    Abstract: An on-board apparatus includes a measuring unit, a filtering unit, a predicting unit, an executing unit, a detecting unit, and an adjusting unit. The measuring unit periodically measures a state of an own vehicle. The filtering unit performs a low-pass filter process on measurement results from the measuring unit. The predicting unit predicts behavior of the own vehicle based on the measurement results on which the low-pass filter process has been performed. The executing unit performs processes based on the behavior of the own vehicle predicted by the predicting unit. The detecting unit detects a traveling environment of the own vehicle. The adjusting unit adjusts a time constant for the low-pass filter process based on the traveling environment detected by the detecting unit.

    Abstract: A driving support system detects a position of an object ahead of an own vehicle as well as predicts a course of the own vehicle. Then, a collision probability between the own vehicle and the object is determined based on the predicted course and the position of the object, and performs the driving support for avoiding collision when the collision probability is high. Further, the driving support to system measures a curvature of a target road, and when a change in the curvature is small and an accurate course prediction is possible, a determination sensitivity of the collision probability is set high so that the driving support is easy to start, otherwise the determination sensitivity of the collision probability is set low so that the driving support is difficult to start.

    Abstract: A driving support system detects a target area ahead of the vehicle, a position or a moving direction, etc. of an object such as a pedestrian or another vehicle by using a camera or radar, as well as determines a probability of collision between the own vehicle and the object based on the position, etc. of the object, and performs a driving support for avoiding the collision when the probability of the collision is high. Further, a sensitivity of determination is set high when the object remains in the target area, or when the object is moving towards the target area, while the sensitivity is set low when the object is not present in the target area, or the object is moving away from the target area.
