    Abstract: To provide a vehicle detection system capable of detecting a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of an own vehicle based on a position of an object by using an electromagnetic wave sensor while suppressing erroneous detection, an ECU determines if first and second positions detected by a millimeter wave radar are included in the same vehicle. The ECU designates calculated information of the preceding vehicle detected based on the first position as a calculation result if it determines that detection of the preceding vehicle is made based on the first position. The ECU uses calculated information of the preceding vehicle detected based on the second position as the calculation result when it determines that detection of the vehicle is not made based on the first position but the first and the second positions had been determined in the past as detected in the same vehicle.

    Abstract: A traveling control apparatus performs a target-following control process on a target to be followed detected by a target detecting unit. Further, the traveling control apparatus calculates a probability that the target to be followed is within an own lane, and determines whether a degree of recognition by the target detecting unit of the target to be followed is in a weakly recognized state where the degree of recognition is weaker than a predetermined degree. The apparatus sets a reliability of the target to be followed on the basis of the probability calculated by a probability calculating process and a determination result by a determining process, and controls acceleration of an own vehicle so that a jerk which is a differential value of the acceleration becomes smaller as the reliability of the target to be followed is lower while the target-following control process is performed.

    Abstract: A cruise control device applied to a vehicle including a target detection unit and including a following control unit includes a determination unit configured to determine, during the period of execution of following control, whether a small vehicle switching state in which a following target is a small vehicle has occurred or not, an upper limit storage unit configured to store, as an upper limit value, a target acceleration set before determination as the small vehicle switching state by the determination unit under a condition where the determination unit determines that the small vehicle switching state has occurred, and a target acceleration setting unit configured to set the target acceleration to equal to or lower than the upper limit value stored in the upper limit storage unit during a period until the following control performed for the switched small vehicle as the following target ends.

    Abstract: When a turn signal of an own vehicle is operated when following a preceding vehicle, a vehicle control device performs a preceding vehicle following control to accelerate the own vehicle interlocking with the operation of the turn signal. The vehicle control device includes: an adjacent vehicle information acquisition unit that acquires adjacent vehicle information as information on an adjacent vehicle running in front of the own vehicle in an adjacent lane next to a running lane of the own vehicle; and an acceleration control unit that, when the turn signal of the own vehicle is operated, controls acceleration of the own vehicle based on the adjacent vehicle information.
