DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM: abstract simplified (18112580)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18112580 Titled 'DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

The driving assistance device described in the abstract helps to prevent accidents by applying brakes and steering the vehicle to avoid obstacles. It has two modes of operation: dual-side braking steering control and single-side braking steering control.

In the dual-side mode, if the vehicle cannot turn enough to avoid an object, the device applies brakes to both sides of the vehicle and forcefully turns it to swerve around the object.

In the single-side mode, if the vehicle can turn enough to avoid the object, the device applies brakes to only one side of the vehicle and forcefully turns it to swerve around the object.

Overall, the device helps to keep the vehicle and its occupants safe by assisting in avoiding collisions.

Original Abstract Submitted

A driving assistance device executes dual-side braking steering avoidance control for forcibly decelerating a target vehicle by applying braking forces to wheels on both sides of the target vehicle and forcibly turning the target vehicle to swerve around an object in a case where a turning amount increase request condition is not satisfied. When forcibly turning the target vehicle rightward or leftward by collision avoidance control to swerve around the object in a case where the turning amount increase request condition is satisfied, the driving assistance device executes single-side braking steering avoidance control for forcibly decelerating the target vehicle by applying a braking force only to a right or left wheel of the target vehicle and forcibly turning the target vehicle to swerve around the object.
