A vehicle travel support system includes: an information acquisition device that uses a sensor to acquire surrounding situation information; and a vehicle travel control device that controls travel of a vehicle. When a lane change to an adjacent lane is necessary, the vehicle travel control device uses the surrounding situation information to determine whether or not there is a lane restriction item indicating that entry into the adjacent lane is restricted. When there is the lane restriction item, the vehicle travel control device sets a zone of the adjacent lane including a position of the lane restriction item and having a predetermined distance as a no-entry zone. The vehicle travel control device prohibits the lane change until the vehicle passes through a side of the no-entry zone and permits the lane change after the vehicle passes through the side of the no-entry zone.

A target vehicle speed generation device includes a controller that includes a target travel route generation unit, a peripheral object information acquisition unit, and a target vehicle speed generation unit. The target travel route generation unit generates a target travel route of the vehicle. The peripheral object information acquisition unit acquires position information pertaining to an obstacle on a travel path of the vehicle, and position information pertaining to an obstacle that is located toward the side and is outside of the travel path of the vehicle. The target vehicle speed generation unit calculates a plurality of lateral deviations to the obstacle with respect to the target travel route, and generates a lower target vehicle speed for an obstacle having a lesser lateral deviation than for an obstacle having a greater lateral deviation.

An image processing system includes: an image acquiring unit that acquires an image picked up by a camera, the camera being provided in a vehicle; and a quality changing unit that performs a quality changing process of decreasing a quality of the image to equal to or lower than a predetermined standard, based on at least one of a vehicle position at a time when the image is picked up, a vehicle position at a time when the image is output to an external device or a display device, and requestor information that indicates a requestor of an output request of the image.

A driving support ECU retains an already-present traveling trajectory of a first vehicle to determine a target traveling line based on the retained already-present traveling trajectory during a specific period. When a specific situation occurs in the specific period, the driving support ECU produces a traveling trajectory of the first vehicle in such a manner that the traveling trajectory of the first vehicle is continuous with the already-present traveling trajectory based on position information of the first vehicle and the retained traveling trajectory to determine the target traveling line based on the produced traveling trajectory.

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle controls a vehicle includes: acquiring a direction and a distance value of the obstacle as position information of the obstacle based on radar data received through at least one of a plurality of reception channels corresponding to the angular resolution in the lateral direction of an obstacle detector, identifies a collision point that may collide with the obstacle based on the acquired position information of the obstacle, controls at least one of steering and braking based on the position information of the identified collision point; and when controlling the steering, acquires a collision avoidance margin distance value corresponding to the position information of the identified collision point, predicts the collision position based on the position information of the obstacle and the information detected by the velocity detector, acquires a distance value between the predicted collision position and the current position, acquires a movement distance value in the lateral direction based on the acquired distance value and a preset turning radius of the vehicle, acquires a steering angle based on the acquired movement distance value in the lateral direction and the acquired collision avoidance margin distance value and controls steering based on the acquired steering angle.

A driving support ECU performs an inter-vehicle-distance control and a following-travel steering control. When a front vehicle has been specified as both of a inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle and a following-travel steering target vehicle, and there is a potential cutting-in vehicle which is another vehicle having a possibility of cutting in between an own vehicle and a front vehicle, the driving support ECU newly specifies the potential cutting-in vehicle as the inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle and then, newly specifies the potential cutting-in vehicle as the following-travel steering target vehicle, in the cutting-in period.

The present application discloses a visual obstacle avoidance method for a robot mower, which includes the following steps: acquiring self motion parameters of the robot mower; acquiring image information in front of the robot mower; collecting motion characteristic parameters of a obstacle in the image information according to the acquired image information; acquiring distance characteristic parameters between the robot mower and the obstacle. According to the motion characteristic parameters, the self motion parameters and the distance characteristic parameters, whether the robot mower needs to avoid is determined, and if the robot mower does not need to avoid the obstacle, the original driving path is executed. The present application also discloses a robot mower and a readable storage medium.

A device for setting a target vehicle that sets a target vehicle to be subjected to driving assistance control of a host vehicle includes: a detection signal acquisition device capable of acquiring a first detection signal representing an object by an image, and a second detection signal representing the object by a reflection point; and setting control unit, which determines whether to set a forward object as a target vehicle, wherein if a movement history is not associated with the forward object, and a combination history is associated with the forward object, then as a selection threshold of a first determination parameter for determining whether to set the forward object as the target vehicle, a selection threshold is used such that the forward object is less likely to be selected as the target vehicle than with the selection threshold which would be used if a movement history is associated with the forward object.
