A vehicular collision avoidance system includes a sensor disposed at a vehicle for sensing exterior and forwardly of the vehicle. A processor processes sensor data captured by the sensor to determine the presence of a pedestrian ahead of the vehicle and outside a path of travel of the vehicle. The processor determines a projected path of travel of the pedestrian based on movement of the pedestrian. The processor determines where the forward path of travel of the vehicle intersects the projected path of travel of the pedestrian. The system, responsive at least in part to prediction that the pedestrian will be in the forward path of travel of the vehicle when the vehicle time to intersection elapses, adjusts the speed of the vehicle based at least in part on a driver attentiveness parameter pertaining to a determined attentiveness of a driver of the vehicle.

A brake mode control system and a brake mode control method for a vehicle are disclosed. The brake mode control system comprises a user interface, a driving information sensor, a braking controller, and a brake mode control panel. The user interface is configured to receive a brake mode input by a driver, the driving information sensor is configured to sense driving information of the vehicle, the braking controller is configured to determine a driving state of the vehicle based on the driving information of the vehicle sensed by the driving information sensor and selectively change the brake mode received by the user interface according to the determined driving state of the vehicle to achieve a final brake mode, and the brake mode control panel is configured to generate a different braking feel according to a pedal action force required for a pedal stroke based on the final brake mode.

Provided is a collision avoidance control apparatus including a first sensor; a second sensor; a controller configured to execute collision avoidance control; and a memory configured to, when a specific object has been detected, record information on the detected specific object, the specific object being an object which has been detected by both of the first sensor and the second sensor, in which the controller is configured to execute the collision avoidance control when determining that there is an object based on any one of the first sensor and the second sensor, and determining that the object has been already recorded as the specific object in the memory.

A vehicle control device causes an automatic brake to function even for an obstacle suddenly appearing from outside a sensor detection range in a place estimated to be dangerous such as an intersection. A vehicle control device calculates time-to-collision TTC based on a detection result of an obstacle sensor, and controls a brake, which is an actuator of a vehicle, based on the calculated time-to-collision TTC. The vehicle control device includes a determination unit that determines right turn or left turn of the vehicle, and a command unit that sends a command according to a determination result of the determination unit to the brake. When determining that the vehicle is turning right or left, the determination unit changes the time-to-collision TTC to a longer value by extending more than that at the time of traveling straight.

An autonomous vehicle which includes multiple independent control systems that provide redundancy as to specific and critical safety situations which may be encountered when the autonomous vehicle is in operation.

A method for braking a vehicle, including checking whether a trigger criterion for braking the vehicle is present, and if the trigger criterion is satisfied, causing a conditioning braking pulse through brief pulsed braking such that passengers experience brief braking of the vehicle, and immediately thereafter initiating a braking phase in which the vehicle is braked in at least two partial braking regions by an actual ego deceleration that varies with respect to time, wherein each partial braking region is extended over a partial braking interval and merge into one another without the actual ego deceleration changing abruptly, and the actual ego deceleration in at least one of the partial braking regions is changed continuously over the respective partial braking interval such that a different actual jerk is obtained in each partial braking region, and wherein the actual jerk behaves degressively over at least some partial braking regions.

The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of hastening identification of an object or an event to be focused by a rider of a straddle-type vehicle, the rider having perceived haptic motion.

A controller (51) for a rider-assistance system (50) mounted to a straddle-type vehicle (100) includes: a determination section that determines necessity of a warning given to the rider; and a haptic motion performing section that performs haptic motion at least once to reduce or increase acceleration/deceleration of the straddle-type vehicle (100) only for a moment. The haptic motion performing section changes a priority of each wheel (3, 4) at the time of changing a braking force to reduce or increase the acceleration/deceleration only for the moment in the haptic motion according to a focusing direction that is a direction in which the rider should focus by the warning.

A number of variations are discloses including a system and method including using differential braking to increase evasive lateral maneuver capability.

The present disclosure relates to an electrified vehicle capable of handling a situation where there may be an insufficient brake force during long-time braking by applying regenerative braking and to a braking compensation control method of the electric vehicle. The braking compensation control method includes determining whether a preset compensation control entry condition may be satisfied, determining a compensation brake torque for assisting in following a speed of a leading vehicle traveling ahead, and outputting the compensation brake torque through a motor when the compensation control entry condition may be satisfied.

A vehicle control system includes a setting unit to sense a plurality of forward vehicles positioned ahead of a subject vehicle in a driving direction, to classify each of the forward vehicles as a far-away vehicle or a near-by vehicle, and to set each of the far-away vehicles as an interest vehicle, a receiving unit to receive braking information of each of the interest vehicles from the respective interest vehicles, and a control unit to control braking of the subject vehicle based on the braking information of each of the interest vehicles received by the receiving unit.
