    Abstract: An ECU as an object detection device and a radar device are mounted on a vehicle. The radar device acquires front-view images containing a detection-target object such as a preceding vehicle present within a predetermined area around the vehicle. The radar device recognizes the detection-target object in time series based on the acquired front-view images. The ECU realizes a preceding vehicle selection part, an irregular-detection detecting part and an association processing part. The selection part selects the object when a to relationship between the object and the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition. The detecting part detects occurrence of an irregular detection when a first object selected as the preceding vehicle and a second object not selected as the preceding vehicle are detected based on the object. The association processing part performs an association process of associating history of the first object to the second object when the irregular detection has occurred.

    Abstract: A device for setting a target vehicle that sets a target vehicle to be subjected to driving assistance control of a host vehicle includes: a detection signal acquisition device capable of acquiring a first detection signal representing an object by an image, and a second detection signal representing the object by a reflection point; and setting control unit, which determines whether to set a forward object as a target vehicle, wherein if a movement history is not associated with the forward object, and a combination history is associated with the forward object, then as a selection threshold of a first determination parameter for determining whether to set the forward object as the target vehicle, a selection threshold is used such that the forward object is less likely to be selected as the target vehicle than with the selection threshold which would be used if a movement history is associated with the forward object.

    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a preceding vehicle selector that selects a pair of preceding vehicles, a target pair recognizer that executes a pairing process of storing a distance between a first target and a second target belonging to the respective preceding vehicles as an offset, and an intervehicular distance setter that sets both of a distance between an own vehicle and a first target as an intervehicular distance when the first target and the second target are detected as a target pair, and a distance corrected based on the offset as an intervehicular distance when the first target out of the target pair is not detected. The target pair recognizer stores a history of determination parameters including at least one of changes in relative distance, relative speed, and lateral deviation amount between the first and second targets.

    Abstract: An object recognition device recognizes an object around the own vehicle by using a radar device and an imaging device. The object recognition apparatus includes: information combining unit that generates combined target information by combining radar-based target information with image-based target information if the object is being detected by the radar device and the imaging device, the radar-based target information being information on an object detected by the radar device, the image-based target information being information on an object detected by the imaging device; and an identical object determining unit that determines that an object detected by the imaging device is identical with an object detected by the radar device, based on time-dependent change of the combined target information.

    Abstract: When determining that, with an adjacent preceding vehicle selected as a tracking-control target, (i) an operated acceleration request for an own vehicle has been inputted to a vehicle control apparatus and (ii) the adjacent preceding vehicle is likely to be changed as an own-lane preceding vehicle, the vehicle control apparatus performs tracking control of the own vehicle with respect to the adjacent preceding vehicle. When determining that, with the adjacent preceding vehicle selected as the tracking-control target, (i) the operated acceleration request for the own vehicle has been inputted to the vehicle control apparatus and (ii) the adjacent preceding vehicle is unlikely to be changed as an own-lane preceding vehicle, the vehicle control apparatus terminates the tracking control of the own vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus is mounted in a vehicle and controls the vehicle. The vehicle control apparatus detects an obstacle that is present inside a grade crossing that intersects a traveling course of the vehicle, using a detection result of a sensor that is mounted in the vehicle. The vehicle control apparatus identifies a position and size of the obstacle using a detection result of the vehicle control apparatus, and calculates a clearance in a direction that intersects the traveling course when the vehicle crosses the grade crossing, using the identified position and size of the obstacle. The vehicle control apparatus determines whether the vehicle is able to pass through the grade crossing based on the calculated clearance.

    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes an intersection information detection section that detects information on an intersection, and includes a traveling route detection section that detects a traveling route of the vehicle and a cross road detection section that detects a cross road intersecting the traveling route, an operation detection section that detects a plan of operation of the vehicle at the intersection, a waiting position setting section that sets a waiting position where the vehicle is caused to wait at the intersection until the vehicle becomes possible to perform the operation, and a determination section that determines whether the vehicle can perform the operation by the time a traffic light on the traveling route at the intersection turns red. The waiting position setting section sets a position, where another vehicle is not hindered from traveling on the crossing road by the vehicle stopped at the waiting position, as the waiting position.
