A device for controlling a vehicle at an intersection. The device variably sets a monitoring range of a vehicle sensor in accordance with a relationship between the progress paths of a host vehicle and a target vehicle at an intersection, or controls the host vehicle according to a collision avoidance control method in comparison with a predetermined scenario of a collision possibility of the host vehicle and the target vehicle at the intersection according to a scenario, thereby making it possible to prevent a collision at the intersection.

A single-track motor vehicle or a multi-track motor vehicle with tilt technology, includes one or more environment sensors that are installed in the front of the motor vehicle and that are arranged for detecting an area in front of the motor vehicle, and a control unit. The control unit controls an actuator while the motor vehicle is travelling depending on the position of the motor vehicle that is detected by the position sensor system in such a way that when the motor vehicle is tilted along a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis thereof, the movable element is moved by means of the actuator so that the position of a respective environment sensor is not rotated relative to the longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is tilted compared to the position of the respective environment sensor when the motor vehicle is not tilted.

A lane-maintaining control device detects a lane width (H1) of a traveling lane (21) through a camera (4) and performs lane-maintaining control without a deviation from the lane width (H1). When detecting, through the camera (4), that the traveling lane (21) gradually increases (H2>H1 where the increasing lane width is (H2)), the lane-maintaining control device continues the lane-maintaining control on a condition that a turn signal is not operated.

When an automatic lane change system has a specific blinker be activated while a BSM (blind spot monitor) system is giving a first alert by turning on an indicator 11, a BSM ECU 10 does not give a second alert (blinking the indicator 11) so as to keep giving the first alert. The second alert is higher in an alert level than the first alert.

Systems and methods for modifying an attitude of a vehicle are disclosed. A user selects a trailer mode for a vehicle body. The selected trailer mode has a corresponding configuration. The vehicle determines one or more features about a trailer based on the selected trailer mode. The vehicle determines a location of a trailer hitch needed to achieve the configuration corresponding to the selected trailer mode. The location is based on the one or more features about the trailer. The vehicle actuates at least one active component in the vehicle's active suspension system to change the attitude of the vehicle body so as to cause the trailer hitch to be located in the determined location thereby causing the vehicle body to be in the selected trailer mode.

A driving around-view auxiliary device includes a lens group, an image processing module, and a display unit. The lens group can capture a plurality of external images around the vehicle. The image processing module includes an image splicing processing unit and an image delay processing unit. The image splicing processing unit can splice the foregoing external images into a vehicle exterior around-view image. The image delay processing unit is capable of dividing, according to a travel path of the vehicle, the vehicle exterior around-view image that overlaps the travel path into a plurality of delayed images, and sequentially attaching, according to a delay time and starting from the delayed image that is adjacent to the under-vehicle image, the delayed images on an under-vehicle image segmented in the vehicle exterior around-view image. The display unit displays the vehicle exterior around-view image and a total perspective image formed by the under-vehicle image.

Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for determining whether a vehicle driver is ready for an associated vehicle to be transferred from an autonomous operation mode to a manual operation mode. More particularly, apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for determining whether a vehicle driver is ready for an associated vehicle to be transferred from an autonomous operation mode to a manual operation mode based on vehicle interior image data.

A system and methodologies for neuromorphic vision simulate conventional analog NM system functionality and generate digital NM image data that facilitate improved object detection, classification, and tracking so as to detect and predict movement of a vehicle occupant.

A system comprises a first control module that meets specified operational criteria for controlling a component of a vehicle and a second control module that meets specified operational criteria for actuating the component. The first control module is arranged to send a first signal to open a relay that, when closed, electrically couples a power output of the second control module to ground via a fuse, send a second signal to cause the second control module to power a motor for actuating the component, receive a third signal indicating a completion of actuation of the component, and responsive to receiving the third signal, send a fourth signal to close the relay.

A driving support ECU initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of LCA; calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position which is a target position of an own vehicle in a lane width direction in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; calculates a target control amount based on the target trajectory function; when a steering operation by a driver has been detected, again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter; and recalculates the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.
