DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240157943 titled 'DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The driving support apparatus described in the patent application uses a camera and a controller to assist with vehicle turning at intersections. The controller stores prohibited directions indicated by road arrows on lanes and supports the vehicle turning when the turn direction is not prohibited. It also deletes the prohibited directions based on the vehicle's travel distance after passing the road arrow.
- Camera and controller used for driving support at intersections
- Controller stores and deletes prohibited turn directions based on road arrows
- Support control executed when turn direction is not prohibited
- Prohibited directions deleted based on travel distance after passing road arrow

The abstract does not specify the exact technology or method employed for storing and deleting the prohibited turn directions.
Original Abstract Submitted
a driving support apparatus comprises a camera, and a controller for executing a support control for supporting the vehicle turning at an intersection. the controller stores a prohibited direction in which a road arrow marked on a lane prohibits the vehicle from turning. the controller executes the support control when the controller detects the intersection and a turn direction is not the prohibited direction. the controller deletes the prohibited direction when the vehicle travels on a lane that is not a one-lane on one side and a travel distance after the vehicle passes through the road arrow is equal to or longer than a first delete distance, and deletes the prohibited direction when the vehicle travels on the one-lane on one side and the travel distance is equal to or longer than a second delete distance shorter than the first delete distance.
