VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL DEVICE AND CRUISE CONTROL METHOD

A cruise control device 10 includes a cutting-in/deviation determination unit 12 for performing cutting-in determination and deviation determination of another vehicle. The cutting-in/deviation determination unit 12 calculates a lateral position that is a position in a vehicle width direction of a forward vehicle 51 traveling ahead of an own vehicle 50, and determines the forward vehicle 51 traveling on an adjacent lane 64 to be a cutting-in vehicle into an own lane 63 and determines the forward vehicle 51 traveling on the own lane 63 to be a deviating vehicle from the own lane 63 on the basis of the calculated lateral position. The cutting-in/deviation determination unit 12 determines whether or not the own vehicle 50 is in a predetermined own vehicle turning state that is either one of a state before starting a turn or a state of turning, and determines permission of performing of cutting-in determination and deviation determination of the other vehicle on the basis of the determination result.

A computer-implemented method for controlling a vehicle comprises: receiving tracking data associated with a surrounding environment of the vehicle; detecting, based upon the tracking data, an object in the surrounding environment of the vehicle; determining a location of the object; determining, based on navigation assistance data, whether the location of the object is at least partially within a classified area in the surrounding environment; and configuring a control system of the vehicle to: initiate, based upon determining that the location of the object is not at least partially within the classified area, a first collision avoidance response procedure for responding to the object; and initiate, based upon determining that the location of the object is at least partially within the classified area, a second collision avoidance response procedure for responding to the object, the second collision avoidance response procedure different from the first collision avoidance response procedure.

Detecting an object outside of a field of view

A message can be received from a first object. The message can include information about a position of the first object. An electromagnetic energy can be caused to be transmitted in a direction of the first object at a time in which the first object is in motion. A reflection of the electromagnetic energy can be received from the direction of the first object. A first possible position of a second object can be determined based on the reflection of the electromagnetic energy having traveled entirely along a path defined by a line formed by the first object and the vehicle. A second possible position of the second object can be determined based on the reflection of the electromagnetic energy having traveled along a path outside of the line. An actual position of the second object being the second possible position of the second object can be determined.
