    摘要: A curve's radius of curvature that approximates the actual curve is calculated, and an appropriate allowable curve approach speed even when the node interval is extremely short is set. Although the node c with a relatively large positional deviation on the curve is not out of the actual road width, the road geometry indicated by a series of nodes is locally bent like a concave at around the node c, constituting a curve that cannot exist in reality. The interval between nodes b and c is short, so that calculating the curve's radius of curvature at nodes b and c may result in a very small curve's radius of curvature which is far smaller than the actual curve geometry. Therefore, at least one of the nodes is taken as the curve's radius of curvature calculation removal point and is not used for the calculation of the curve's radius of curvature.

    摘要: An obstacle existing ahead of a vehicle is recognized to detect information on the obstacle. Information on travelling conditions of the vehicle is detected. The steering performance of the vehicle is changed for controlling behaviors of the vehicle. It is determined whether the vehicle can avoid collision with the obstacle only by a driver's braking operation based on at least the information on the obstacle and the vehicle. The vehicle enters into an evasive driving mode in accordance with a driver's steering operation when it is determined that the vehicle cannot avoid collision with the obstacle only by the driver's braking operation. The steering performance of the vehicle is changed for controlling behaviors of the vehicle. A preliminary information is given to the driver to indicate that the vehicle will enter into the evasive driving mode. The driver is then informed that the vehicle has entered into the evasive driving mode.

    摘要: A curve approaching mode controller is capable of continuing vehicle control operations for the longest possible time even if curve information is not available from a navigation system. The navigation system provides curve information about a curve on a road stretching ahead of a vehicle. A control unit estimates a curve approaching mode in which the vehicle will approach the curve on the basis of the curve information and, when necessary, gives a warning and executes a decelerating control operation. If only insufficient curve information is available from the navigation system, a road attribute calculating and storing unit stores the normal node information received immediately before receiving the insufficient node information (curve information) without updating the same, and informs a warning speed calculating and storing unit of a fact that the node information is insufficient. A warning speed calculating and storing unit calculates a warning speed that serves as a reference for warning on the basis of the normal node information received immediately before receiving the insufficient node information, taking a distance traveled by the vehicle after the insufficient node information has been received.

    摘要: A braking force control system comprises a yaw rate sensor for detecting an actual yaw rate of a vehicle, a target yaw rate calculating section for detecting a vehicle speed and a steering angle to calculate a target yaw rate, a yaw-rate difference calculating section for calculating a difference in yaw rate by subtracting the target yaw rate from the actual yaw rate, and a braked-wheel discriminating section for selecting a rear-inside wheel as a braked wheel when the sign of the actual yaw rate is different from that of the difference in yaw rate, and for selecting a front-outside wheel as the braked wheel when the sign of the actual yaw rate is the same as that of the difference in yaw rate. Therefore, when the vehicle is in an under-steering tendency, the rear-inside wheel is selected, and when it is in an over-steering tendency, the front-outside wheel is selected. In addition, the system may further comprise an output discriminating section for comparing the difference in yaw rate with a discriminating threshold to discriminate as to whether the difference in yaw rate is within a control region. A first threshold is set as the discriminating threshold. After the under-steering tendency is changed to the over-steering tendency, a set period of time and a second threshold, the absolute value of which is smaller than that of the first threshold, are set. With this construction, it is possible to smoothly perform the control without giving uncomfortable feeling to a driver, and it is also possible to restrain the control by a rear wheel.
