• This abstract for appeared for US 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 controlling the brakes and steering of a vehicle. It can either apply braking forces to both sides of the vehicle and forcefully turn it to avoid an object, or apply braking force to only one side of the vehicle and forcefully turn it to avoid the object. The specific control method used depends on whether a certain condition for increasing the turning amount is met or not.

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.
