The correction information generator generates, on the basis of the vehicle information, correction information for correcting the travel instruction information.

The present invention relates to a method for collision avoidance for a host vehicle, the method comprising: detecting a target in the vicinity of the vehicle; determining that the host vehicle is travelling on a collision course with the target; detecting a user initiated steering action for steering the vehicle towards one side of the target; determining a degree of understeering of the host vehicle; when the degree of understeering exceeds a first understeering threshold, controlling a steering control system of the vehicle to counteract the user initiated steering action to thereby reduce the degree of understeering. The invention further relates to an evasive steering system.

A control device for a land vehicle is described. The control device is set up to control at least one actuator of the land vehicle on the basis of an avoidance trajectory calculated by the control device in order to support a driver of the land vehicle during an evasive maneuver. The control device is also set up to receive sensor signals of at least one sensor; to generate an environmental model from the received sensor signals; to determine the position of an object relative to a current position of the land vehicle in the generated environmental model; and to calculate a preliminary avoidance trajectory. In the calculation of the preliminary avoidance trajectory, the current position of the land vehicle in the generated environmental model constitutes the starting point of the preliminary avoidance trajectory. A preliminary end point of the preliminary avoidance trajectory is determined on the basis of the determined position of the object. To determine the parameters of the preliminary avoidance trajectory, at least the coordinates of the starting point and of the preliminary end point are used.

The autonomous driving control system includes a strategy performing device that generates and performs a stop strategy of a vehicle on the basis of a target stop location, when a critical situation occurs during autonomous driving, a behavior controller that controls a behavior of the vehicle depending on the stop strategy, and an emergency module controller that runs a predetermined emergency module, when the critical situation occurs.

A traveling control apparatus that allows lane changing due to a driver's steering intervention while continuing lane maintenance control includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit sets a target trace along a lane in which a vehicle is traveling, determines a target steering angle of the vehicle based on the target trace and a lateral position of the vehicle, applies control torque to a steering shaft of the vehicle based on the target steering angle, resets, in response to a change in the lateral position due to the driver's steering intervention which exceeds the control torque and entrance of the vehicle into an adjacent lane, the target trace to the adjacent lane, and determines, using a gradual changing function, in response to the resetting of the target trace, the target steering angle by changing the target steering angle at the time of the resetting.

A driving assistance device of an embodiment includes a recognizer that recognizes a state of a surrounding object that is an object present in the surroundings of a vehicle and a traveling status of the vehicle, a detector that detects a first direction that is a direction of a line of sight of a driver of the vehicle, a determiner that determines whether or not the surrounding object is a target object to be watched by the driver on the basis of the state of the surrounding object and the traveling status, and a display controller that, in a case where it is determined that the surrounding object is the target object, displays first information for guiding the line of sight of the driver toward the target object on one or a plurality of displays on the basis of the first direction detected by the detector and a second direction in which the target object is present when viewed from the driver, in which the display controller determines at least one display to display the first information from among the plurality of displays on the basis of the first direction detected by the detector, or determines a mode of the first information to be displayed on the display.

A steering device includes: a steering wheel which is rotatable over an angle range exceeding 180 degrees in each of leftward and rightward directions from a neutral position; a steering mechanism that steers a wheel according to a steering angle of the steering wheel, with a ratio of the steering angle to a steered angle being changeable; and a control device that controls the ratio of the steering mechanism. The control device sets the ratio to a first value during travel of a vehicle in the manual driving mode and sets the ratio to a second value smaller than the first value during travel of the vehicle in the automatic driving mode, wherein the second value is set such that the steering angle corresponding to a maximum steered angle of the wheel specified by the steering mechanism is less than 180 degrees.

A method for stabilizing a vehicle (100) in which the vehicle (100) has a roll stabilizer (120), which is designed to stabilize a first axle (101) and a second axle (102) as a function of a roll torque distribution between the first axle (101) and the second axle (102). The method comprises a step of determining a sideslip angle index from a difference between a transverse acceleration calculated from a yaw rate of the vehicle (100) and a speed of the vehicle (100), and a detected transverse acceleration of the vehicle (100). The sideslip angle index is related to a sideslip angle of the vehicle (100). The method also comprises a step of generating a control signal (160) using the sideslip angle index. The control signal (160) is suitable for adjusting the roll torque distribution of the roll stabilizer (120) as a function of the determined sideslip angle index.
