A collision avoidance system of a vehicle includes a sensor configured to be disposed at a vehicle for sensing exterior and forwardly of the vehicle. A processor is operable to process sensor data captured by the sensor to determine the presence of a pedestrian ahead of the vehicle and at or moving towards a path of travel of the vehicle. The processor determines a time to intersection of projected paths of travel of the vehicle and pedestrian based on a determined distance to the pedestrian and determined speed of the pedestrian and speed of the vehicle. The system adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the pedestrian will not be in the projected path of travel of the vehicle when the vehicle arrives where the projected path of travel of the vehicle intersects the projected path of travel of the pedestrian.

A system for controlling driving of a vehicle, includes one or more processors configured to: identify objects, including another vehicle, around a host vehicle and collect object information about the objects; collect road states information of road states in a traveling direction of the host vehicle; check the object information around the host vehicle and the road states information to identify a safety zone to which the host vehicle is able to travel; and control the host vehicle to travel to the safety zone when the other vehicle is detected in the traveling direction of the host vehicle in a state in which the host vehicle has entered a curved road.

A system for controlling driving of a vehicle, includes one or more processors configured to collect information about another vehicle identified in a traveling direction of a host vehicle, check whether a road in the traveling direction of the host vehicle is a straight road or a curved road, and control, in response to the check, the host vehicle to travel in a direction in which the host vehicle avoids the other vehicle when the host vehicle enters a curved section of the road and the other vehicle is detected in the traveling direction of the host vehicle, and perform braking of the host vehicle such that a traveling speed of the host vehicle is reduced.

When a collision avoidance target is a pedestrian or a bicycle, a driving assistance ECU performs automatic braking control. In this case, accelerator override cannot be performed. When the collision avoidance target is an automobile and when an accelerator operation amount is equal to or larger than a first operation amount threshold, the driving assistance ECU prohibits the automatic braking control. In this case, the accelerator override can be performed. When the accelerator operation amount is smaller than the first operation amount threshold, the driving assistance ECU performs the automatic braking control.

A travel control method includes using the vehicle to autonomously control a travel of the vehicle. The vehicle has an autonomous speed control function for autonomously controlling a traveling speed of the vehicle and an autonomous steering control function for autonomously controlling the steering of the vehicle. The autonomous speed control function includes a curved route speed control function for controlling the traveling speed of the vehicle at a set speed corresponding to the size of a curve of a travel route. The curved route speed control function can be set to ON/OFF. Each of the autonomous speed control function and the autonomous steering control function can be set to ON/OFF. When the autonomous speed control function and the autonomous steering control function are set to ON, the curved route speed control function is operated regardless of whether the curved route speed control function is set to ON or OFF.

A vehicle includes: a sensor configured to detect an obstacle of a front side of the vehicle to obtain at least one of position information or speed information of the obstacle; a lane detector configured to detect a lane on which the vehicle is located; and a controller configured to calculate a first lateral movement distance for the vehicle to avoid an obstacle through steering, to determine a steering-based avoidance path for the obstacle based on the first lateral movement distance, to determine whether to depart the lane on the steering-based avoidance path, and to control the vehicle to perform steering avoidance control when the vehicle does not depart the lane.

A device and a method for controlling collision avoidance of a trailer vehicle in platooning include a jackknife induction determination module or operation that determines whether to execute jackknife induction control in a leading vehicle when an emergency braking situation occurs during platooning of the trailer vehicle. The device and method also include a jackknife induction control module or operation that provides an additional braking distance of a following vehicle at the rear of a tractor by inducing pivoting of a trailer while controlling the tractor and trailer of the leading vehicle, respectively, to allow a jackknife phenomenon to occur. Stability of the platooning is improved by reducing a possibility of the occurrence of a collision accident by the following vehicle even during emergency braking.

A vehicle control apparatus selects an oncoming vehicle, based on the object information when the own vehicle turns right or left, sets the selected oncoming vehicle as a control target vehicle, and executes a collision avoidance control of avoiding a collision of an own vehicle with the control target vehicle when a predetermined execution condition is satisfied. The vehicle control apparatus selects at least one oncoming vehicle around the control target vehicle, sets the selected at least one oncoming vehicle as a surrounding vehicle, and changes the predetermined execution condition to a condition which becomes satisfied at a later timing when a first behavior condition that there is a predetermined behavior difference between a behavior of the control target vehicle and a behavior of the surrounding vehicle, is satisfied, compared with when the first behavior condition is not satisfied.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a time-to-collision acquisition unit that acquires time to collision that is a time period until a time of collision of an own vehicle with a front obstacle, an overlap rate acquisition unit that acquires an overlap rate indicating a relative positional relationship between the own vehicle and the front obstacle in a lateral direction perpendicular to a traveling direction of the own vehicle, a determination unit that performs execution determination of automatic braking control of the own vehicle, on the basis of the time to collision and the overlap rate, and that, when the overlap rate is increasing by the front obstacle approaching the own vehicle in the lateral direction, determines start timing of the automatic braking control as earlier timing than when the overlap rate is not increasing, and an automatic controller that executes the automatic braking control at the start timing.

A braking control apparatus is configured to control braking force to be generated by a braking device of a vehicle. The braking control apparatus includes a contact detector and a braking control unit. The contact detector is configured to detect a contact of the vehicle. The braking control unit is configured to perform a post-crash braking control that generates the braking force in response to that the contact detector detects the contact and thereby decelerates the vehicle, and cancel the post-crash braking control in a case where an amount of operation of an accelerator operation device of the vehicle is increased and decreased in a predetermined pattern, in which the accelerator operation device is configured to receive an accelerator operation to be performed by a driver who drives the vehicle.
