Vehicle driving support device
A vehicle driving support device includes a surrounding environment recognition unit, a travel control unit, and a collision avoidance controller. The collision avoidance controller is configured to estimate a position of a vehicle and generate a forecast traveling path thereof when turning across an opposite lane at an intersection, recognize an oncoming vehicle traveling on each of lanes of the opposite lane, based on surrounding environment information acquired by the surrounding environment recognition unit, detect, for each lane, a collision forecast position at which the forecast traveling path intersects with a traveling path of the oncoming vehicle, and forecast a collision of the vehicle with the oncoming vehicle, determine whether to execute collision avoidance control in which the travel control unit operates a brake driver, for the collision forecast position, and dispose the collision avoidance control such that kinetic energy remains in the vehicle in a traveling direction.
Braking control apparatus for vehicle and method thereof
A braking control apparatus includes a first controller that brakes a vehicle depending on an output signal generated by a first pedal stroke sensor according to a stroke of a brake pedal, a second controller that brakes the vehicle depending on an output signal generated by a second pedal stroke sensor, a third controller that calculates a regenerative brake torque for regenerative braking of the vehicle and brakes the vehicle, and an electric parking brake (EPB) that generates a parking braking force of the vehicle. Any one of the first controller, the second controller, or the third controller controls the regenerative braking or the parking braking force to brake the vehicle, depending on whether at least one of the first controller or the second controller is in a normal state.
SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BRAKING AT A TRAILER BASED ON FORWARD LOOKING IMAGING SENSOR DATA
Systems and methods for controlling braking at a trailer in a tractor-trailer vehicle configuration based on forward looking imaging sensor data are disclosed. In one form, a system comprises a processor configured to receive instructions to initiate braking of a vehicle and a trailer; receive information from a sensor comprising data regarding a forward-looking view from the vehicle; and receive vehicle performance information. The processor is further configured to determine a predicted path of the vehicle and trailer based on the information from the sensor; determine autonomous braking controls for the vehicle and the trailer based on the predicted path; and transmit the autonomous braking controls to the trailer that are configured to adjust a braking pressure level and a braking duration at the trailer as the vehicle and trailer travel through at least a portion of the predicted path.
