DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND DRIVING SUPPORT PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18349483 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE, DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD, AND DRIVING SUPPORT PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The driving support device described in the patent application includes:
- An operation sensor to acquire information on driving operations in the own vehicle.
- A periphery sensor to acquire information on target objects around the own vehicle.
- A control device to support deceleration of the own vehicle when a target object in front is detected and certain conditions are met.
- The control device determines the mode of deceleration support based on the steering angle and position of the own vehicle in a crossing direction on the travel lane.
- Potential Applications:**
- Advanced driver assistance systems
- Autonomous vehicles
- Collision avoidance systems
- Problems Solved:**
- Accidents due to delayed or inadequate deceleration
- Improving driver reaction time in emergency situations
- Enhancing overall road safety
- Benefits:**
- Increased safety for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians
- Reduced risk of collisions and accidents
- Improved efficiency in traffic flow and congestion management
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a driving support device () including: an operation sensor configured to acquire operation information that is information on an operation on a driving operation device included in an own vehicle; a periphery sensor configured to acquire peripheral information that is information on a target object existing in a periphery of the own vehicle; and a control device configured to execute deceleration support control of supporting a driving operation executed by a driver to decelerate the own vehicle when existence of a target object in front of the own vehicle is detected based on the peripheral information and a predetermined precondition relating to the target object and the own vehicle is satisfied. The control device determines, when the precondition is satisfied and an operation of depressing a brake pedal of the own vehicle is released, a mode of the deceleration support control based on information on one or both of a steering angle and a position of the own vehicle in a crossing direction on a travel lane on which the own vehicle is traveling at a time point when the precondition is satisfied and the operation of depressing the brake pedal of the own vehicle is released.
