VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
In the vehicle control system, a driving control part includes a relative speed calculating part which detects an advancing direction of an object approaching the vehicle and calculates a relative speed between the vehicle and the object approaching the vehicle, a moving direction predicting part which, in a case where it is determined that the object is going to collide with the vehicle, predicts a movement of the vehicle after a collision, and a collision reducing vehicle turning control part which, in a case where it is determined that the vehicle is going to collide with the object around the vehicle, exerts driving control which changes the orientation of the vehicle to a direction in which the vehicle does not collide with the object around the vehicle or to a direction in which the collision to the object around the vehicle by the vehicle is alleviated.
Method for determining a viewing direction of a person
A method for determining a viewing direction of a person, such as a driver in a motor vehicle, is provided. The method includes detecting a surface contour of a surface of an eye of the person, ascertaining a normal vector on the surface of the eye depending on the detected surface contour, and determining the viewing direction of the person depending on the normal vector.

GPS-BASED VEHICULAR SPEED LIMITING SYSTEM
The GPS-based vehicular speed limiting system comprises an on board diagnostic (OBD) interface unit and a GPS unit. The OBD interface unit plugs into the OBD-2 (or equivalent) connector inside the passenger compartment of a vehicle and communicates with one or more vehicle computers. The GPS unit receives signals from GPS satellites to determine the current vehicle location, which it may then display in map form utilizing map data stored in memory within the GPS. If the OBD interface unit determines that the vehicle is traveling faster than the posted speed limit, as determined by information stored in the map data and communicated to the OBD interface unit over the wireless link, the OBD interface unit may command the vehicle computers to limit the speed of the vehicle. Unplugging the OBD interface unit may result in a notification being sent to a smartphone
DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, RECORDING DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND PROGRAM
A driving assistance device includes a unit to acquire a degree of a velocity change of a subject vehicle; a unit to acquire a relative velocity of the subject vehicle with respect to a preceding vehicle; a unit to acquire an inter-vehicle distance between the subject vehicle and the preceding vehicle; a unit to determine whether the subject vehicle is in a proximity state with respect to the preceding vehicle based on the relative velocity and the inter-vehicle distance; and an alarm control unit to set an alarm timing that is a timing at which an alarm is output to a driver of the subject vehicle, based on a timing at which it is determined that the proximity state has occurred. The alarm control unit changes the alarm timing based on the degree of the velocity change of the subject vehicle acquired after determination that the proximity state has occurred.
Vehicle Travel Control Method and Travel Control Device
During automated or autonomous travel control of a subject vehicle, when a road section including at least one of a curve and a narrow road is present ahead of the subject vehicle and another vehicle is traveling in an adjacent lane to the traveling lane for the subject vehicle, inter-vehicle distance control is executed in which the subject vehicle is controlled to travel with an inter-vehicle distance that is set such that the subject vehicle and the other vehicle do not travel side by side when the subject vehicle travels in the road section.
Apparatus and method for vehicle economy improvement
A method and apparatus for evaluating the driving of a vehicle performing a journey on a road network is disclosed. The method comprises determining a fuel usage rate and an engine speed of a vehicle, and determining when the vehicle is coasting based upon at least one of the fuel usage rate and the engine speed of the vehicle. An acceleration of the vehicle, when the vehicle is determined to be coasting, is compared with a predetermined reference acceleration, and an application of braking during the coasting is determined based on the result of the comparison. A method and apparatus is also disclosed for determining a score indicative of the relative amount of time for which the vehicle is coasting without braking during a journey.
