STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR CONTROLLING STEERING
A steering control system for a commercial vehicle having braking and steering systems. The braking system brakes dissymetrically side wheels of the vehicle. The steering system steers the vehicle based on a steering signal. The steering control system includes selection and control modules. The selection module switches between first and second steering modes. The first mode indicates steering of the vehicle by turning vehicle wheels. The second mode indicates steering of the vehicle by generating a braking signal for at least one wheel providing a yaw moment applied to the vehicle. The control module generates the first signal indicating a steering demand in the first mode and a second signal indicating a steering demand in the second mode. The control module provides the first signal to the steering system and the second signal to the braking system to brake the vehicle dissymetrically to steer the vehicle with the yaw moment.
Automatic braking system
A braking-system suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes a ranging-sensor, a braking-actuator and a controller in communication with the ranging-sensor and the braking-actuator. The ranging-sensor is used to detect an object proximate to a host-vehicle when the object resides in a field-of-view of the ranging-sensor. The field-of-view defines a bottom-edge of the field-of-view and a boundary of a conflict-zone, where the boundary corresponds to a portion of the bottom-edge. The a braking-actuator used to control movement of the host-vehicle. The controller determines a height of the object, determines a distance to the object, determines a range-rate of the object when the object is in the field-of-view, and activates the braking-actuator when an estimated-distance to the object is less than a distance-threshold, the height of the object is greater than a height-threshold, and the object has crossed the boundary and thereby enters the conflict-zone.
DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS
A driving support apparatus for an own vehicle includes a lane keeping assist control unit. When an interrupting vehicle enters ahead of the own vehicle in (i) a situation in which no preceding vehicle is present ahead of the own vehicle, or (ii) a situation in which a preceding vehicle is present ahead of the own vehicle, while a deviation angle formed between a direction of a traveling trajectory of the interrupting vehicle and a traveling direction of the own vehicle is larger than a threshold, the lane keeping assist control unit is configured not to perform a lane keeping assist control based on the traveling trajectory of the interrupting vehicle, and is configured to discard the traveling trajectory of the interrupting vehicle. On and after the deviation angle becomes equal to or smaller than the threshold, the lane keeping assist control unit is configured to perform the lane keeping assist control based on the traveling trajectory of the interrupting vehicle.
DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS
A driving support apparatus for an own vehicle includes a travel trajectory obtaining unit configured to obtain a preceding vehicle trajectory which is a travel trajectory of a preceding vehicle, and a control unit configured to perform a follow-up steering control for changing a steering angle of the own vehicle in such a manner that the vehicle travels along a target traveling line determined based on the preceding vehicle trajectory. The control unit is configured to, when a first distance condition and a manual steering condition are both satisfied while the follow-up steering control is being performed, stop the follow-up steering control.
Method on-board vehicles to predict a plurality of primary signs of driving while impaired or driving while distracted
A method on-board vehicles for predicting a plurality of primary signs of driving while impaired or driving while distracted, and preventing running red lights at predefined intersections by a traveling vehicle, the method comprising integrating the autonomous in-vehicle virtual traffic light system with the in-vehicle's cameras and the automatic braking of the vehicle.
METHOD FOR ACTUATING A HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM IN A MOTOR VEHICLE
A method for actuating a hydraulic brake system in a motor vehicle, in which a hydraulic brake pressure is generated specific to the wheel, data of a driving environment sensor system being taken into account for detecting the instantaneous lateral distance of the motor vehicle from the desired track.
DRIVE ASSIST APPARATUS
A drive assist apparatus includes a position acquisition unit that acquires a position of an own vehicle, a position of a tollgate present ahead of the position of the own vehicle, and a position of a target lane in a road present ahead of the tollgate, a scheduled traveling route creation unit that creates a scheduled traveling route from the position of the own vehicle to the position of the target lane through the position of the tollgate, and a travel control unit that controls the own vehicle so as to travel along the scheduled traveling route.

The ranging-sensor is used to detect an object proximate to a host-vehicle when the object resides in a field-of-view of the ranging-sensor. The field-of-view defines a bottom-edge of the field-of-view and a boundary of a conflict-zone, where the boundary corresponds to a portion of the bottom-edge.

LANE DEPARTURE SUPPRESSING APPARATUS
A lane departure suppressing apparatus is provided with: a supporter configured to perform departure suppression support for suppressing departure of a vehicle from a driving lane on which the vehicle is currently traveling; a detector configured to detect an adjacent area adjacent to the driving lane; a calculator configured to calculate an adjacent margin width, which is width of an area in which the vehicle can perform an avoidance action, out of the adjacent area; and a controller configured to control the supporter to increase intensity of the departure suppression support as the avoidance margin width becomes smaller.
