A system for assisting in the opening of a vehicle door includes a camera disposed on the vehicle for obtaining a plurality of images of an object at the periphery of the vehicle. The example system includes a controller which is configured to determine a distance between the object and a door of the vehicle based on the plurality of images and to initiate a vehicle response based on the distance.

A method for backing up a trailer hitched to a vehicle includes mounting a rear backup camera at a vehicle and hitching a trailer at the hitch of the vehicle. Responsive to processing captured image data by a processor of the control, at least a portion of the trailer tongue of the trailer is detected using an edge detection algorithm. Responsive to processing at the control of image data captured by the rear backup camera during a backing up maneuver of the trailer hitched to the vehicle, trailer angle of the trailer relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle is determined. The control, based at least in part on trailer angle of the trailer, controls a steering system of the vehicle during the backing up maneuver of the trailer hitched to the vehicle to back up the trailer hitched to the vehicle along a rearward trajectory.

A system and method for a vehicle sensor that maps radar detected targets as target alerts overlaid on a display image.

A vehicular parking assist system includes a rear backup camera and a control having an image processor that processes image data captured by the rear backup camera. The control, as the vehicle is driven forward into a parking slot and reliant on processing of image data by the rear backup camera, determines a parking slot marker at a side boundary of the parking slot at which the vehicle is being parked and determines orientation of the vehicle relative to the determined parking slot marker. As the vehicle is driven forward into the parking slot, and reliant on processing by the processor of image data captured by the rear backup camera, a display screen in the vehicle displays information representative of the determined orientation of the vehicle relative to the parking slot marker so the driver can gauge orientation of the vehicle in the parking slot.

A vehicular control system includes a central control module vehicle, a plurality of image capture sensors, at least one radar sensor and at least one lidar sensor disposed at an equipped. The central control module receives vehicle data relating to operation of the vehicle. During a driving maneuver of the vehicle, and responsive at least in part to fusion at the central control module of (i) captured image data, (ii) captured radar data and (iii) captured lidar data, a pedestrian or other vehicle may be detected or the speed of the equipped vehicle may be controlled. Responsive to the central control module determining that the detected pedestrian constitutes a potentially hazardous driving condition for the equipped vehicle, the central control module may control at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) braking of the equipped vehicle and (ii) steering of the equipped vehicle.

An obstacle detecting and notifying device according to an embodiment is to be installed in a vehicle, to issue an alarm upon detecting a moving obstacle. The device includes a moving-obstacle detector that detects a moving obstacle in a given monitoring area; a first calculator that calculates an expected moving route of the moving obstacle; a second calculator that calculates an expected moving route of the vehicle; a setter that sets an alarm area in the monitoring area in accordance with the expected moving route of the vehicle, the alarm area in which the alarm is to be issued; an excluder that excludes, from alarming moving obstacles, the moving obstacle unlikely to reach the alarm area, in accordance with the expected moving route of the moving obstacle and the expected moving route of the vehicle; and an alarm that issues an alarm against the alarming moving obstacles.

Disclosed are a method for controlling a horn assembly, a vehicle and a computer-readable storage medium. The horn assembly includes multiple horns mounted in different regions of transportation means. The method includes that: acquiring running information of the transportation means; selecting at least one of the regions in the transportation means as a related region according to the running information and determining a horn mounted in the related region as a main horn; and determining a sounding manner for the main horn according to the running information, the sounding manner including at least one of a sounding type or a sounding volume.

A parking assist apparatus includes a one-way traffic determiner that determines whether or not a vehicle is located on a one-way road, and a parking processor that, when it is determined that the vehicle is located on the one-way road case, does not perform a vehicle control for parallel parking including a path through which the vehicle reverses.

Disclosed are a vehicle and a control method thereof configured for performing a vehicle control to detect lighting irradiated from a lamp at the time of vehicle parking and park the vehicle safely and accurately. The vehicle includes a lamp configured to irradiate lighting to a ground, a camera configured to photograph the lighting irradiated to the ground to obtain information on a form of the lighting of the lamp, and a controller configured to determine at least one of the form of the ground to which the lighting is irradiated and whether or not an obstacle exists on the ground to which the lighting is irradiated, based on the information on the obtained form of the lighting of the lamp.

A method for guiding reversing of a vehicle includes displaying, via a video display screen of the vehicle, and responsive to the vehicle being shifted into reverse gear, video images derived from image data captured by a rear backup camera of the vehicle. Responsive to actuation of an input by the driver of the vehicle, an alignment overlay is generated and electronically superimposed on the displayed video images to assist the driver in reversing the vehicle toward a trailer hitch of a trailer. The alignment overlay extends longitudinally rearward from a central region of the vehicle displayed in the displayed video images. The input is an actuatable input other than the vehicle being shifted into reverse gear. The alignment overlay is adjusted responsive to change in steering angle of the vehicle while the driver is executing the reversing maneuver of the vehicle.
