A hydraulic control device for at least one hydraulic aggregate of a brake system, and a brake booster control device, interacting therewith, for an electromechanical brake booster of the brake system. The hydraulic control device includes a first control electronics by which at least one motor target quantity that is to be realized by a motor of the electromechanical brake booster can be determined, taking into account a provided brake actuating strength quantity relating to a current actuation of a brake actuating element, and by which a specification signal corresponding to the at least one determined motor target quantity can be outputted to the brake booster control device. The brake booster control device has a second control electronics that, at least in a normal mode, outputs the control signal to the motor of the electromechanical brake booster, taking into account the specification signal outputted by the hydraulic control device.

A braking assist control device for a vehicle including a detector and a braking assist control device is provided. The braking assist control device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on an ambient environment of an own vehicle from the detector, and a control unit configured to cause the braking assist device to perform intersection entry prevention assist in a case where it is determined, using the acquired information on the ambient environment, that the own vehicle is approaching an intersection and an own lane in which the own vehicle is traveling is a non-priority lane with respect to an intersecting lane.

This braking control device comprises a first unit for outputting a supply pressure in accordance with operation displacement of a braking operation member, a second unit between the first unit and a wheel cylinder to increase the supply pressure and output a wheel pressure to the wheel cylinder, a displacement sensor for detecting the operation displacement, and a supply pressure sensor for detecting the supply pressure. The first unit selects either a first mode in which the operation displacement and the supply pressure are independent or a second mode in which the operation displacement and the supply pressure are linked. When the displacement sensor is normal, the first unit selects the first mode and increases the supply pressure based on the operation displacement. When the displacement sensor is not normal, the first unit selects the second mode, and the second unit increases the wheel pressure based on the supply pressure.

Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, a method for navigating a user vehicle may include acquiring, using at least one image capture device, a plurality of images of an area in a vicinity of the user vehicle; determining from the plurality of images a first lane constraint on a first side of the user vehicle and a second lane constraint on a second side of the user vehicle opposite to the first side of the user vehicle; enabling the user vehicle to pass a target vehicle if the target vehicle is determined to be in a lane different from the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling; and causing the user vehicle to abort the pass before completion of the pass, if the target vehicle is determined to be entering the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a clutch disengagement control mechanism that is for a mechanical automatic transmission and that can perform clutch disengagement control at an optimal timing during both ordinary driving and low-speed driving at the verge of stopping. To this end, the present invention is provided with a vehicle speed measurement device (3 and 6, or 4), a brake-operation-speed measurement device (8), a clutch operation device (9), and a control device (10). The control device (10) has: a function for generating a control signal that disengages the clutch from the clutch operation device (9) when the brake operation speed is at least a second threshold (B) in the case that the vehicle speed (X) is at least a first threshold (A); and a function for generating a control signal that disengages the clutch from the clutch operation device (9) when the brake operation speed is at least a third threshold (C) in the case that the vehicle speed (X) is less than the first threshold (A).

Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, a driver assist navigation system is provided for a vehicle. The system may include at least one image capture device configured to acquire a plurality of images of an area in a vicinity of the vehicle; a data interface; and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device may be configured to: receive the plurality of images via the data interface; determine from the plurality of images a current lane of travel from among a plurality of available travel lanes; and cause the vehicle to change lanes if the current lane of travel is not the same as a predetermined default travel lane.

An adaptive braking system for a motor vehicle includes an assisted braking system and a controller arranged to determine, in response to one or more driving condition parameters and in advance of a brake application, the braking assistance to be provided. Braking assistance is defined by a function which maps a brake actuation parameter to be applied from a detected brake pedal actuation parameter. Each driving condition parameter includes an environmental condition parameter. The controller may also adjust the braking assistance in response to one or more braking response signals.

In an emergency stop situation, the regenerative braking system is used to assist in rapid deceleration, by combining regenerative braking with conventional friction brakes. Sensors can also be used to trigger the braking systems, even before the driver is able to react. These sensors might include external cameras, ABS activation detection, radar and ultrasound.

A brake control method includes: determining whether the acceleration amount in a brake release operation of a vehicle is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount in a brake operation of the vehicle when a parking brake device that is driven by a motor performs braking control with anti-lock control for alternately repeating the brake operation and the brake release operation while the vehicle is travelling; and restricting the anti-lock control from being performed when the acceleration amount is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount.
