Abstract

An automated driving ECU is an automated driving control device that enables a host vehicle (Am) to travel by means of an automated driving function. The automated driving ECU determines the occurrence of an obstructing vehicle (Ao) impeding travel of the host vehicle (Am), and when the obstructing vehicle (Ao) has arisen in front of the host vehicle (Am), sequentially implements peeking control and overtaking control. In the peeking control, the host vehicle (Am) moves so as to peek at the situation ahead of the obstructing vehicle (Ao). Then, in the overtaking control, the host vehicle (Ao) overtakes the obstructing vehicle (Ao). When the obstructing vehicle (Ao) has arisen in an intersection area (IA) located in front of the host vehicle (Am), the automated driving ECU changes the content of at least one of the peeking control and the overtaking control in accordance with information grasped in relation to the intersection area (IA).

Abstract

An automatic driving control ECU is an automatic driving control device that enables the own vehicle (Am) to travel by automatic driving function. The automatic driving ECU determines a priority relationship between the own vehicle (Am) and another vehicle at a multi-stop intersection (MSI). In addition, the automatic driving ECU determines as to whether or not a connection road (CR) connected to the multi-stop intersection is narrow so as to make it difficult for the own vehicle (Am) and the other vehicle to pass each other. In a case where the connection road (CR) at the multi-stop intersection (MSI) is not narrow, the automatic driving ECU performs traveling control on the own vehicle (Am) in accordance with the priority relationship. Meanwhile, in a case where the connection road (CR) is narrow, the automatic driving ECU performs traveling control so as to give travel priority to the other vehicle.

Abstract

A driving assistance apparatus includes an on-vehicle sensor and a driving assistance ECU. The ECU detects presence of a preceding vehicle traveling immediately forward of an own vehicle, on the basis of pieces of information from the sensor, chooses the preceding vehicle as a vehicle to follow, and controls a drive apparatus, a braking apparatus, and a steering apparatus such that the own vehicle follows the vehicle to follow. When the own vehicle follows a first vehicle chosen as the vehicle to follow and the speed of the own vehicle or the first vehicle is a predetermined threshold speed or lower, upon determination that the own vehicle can follow a second vehicle traveling faster than the own vehicle in a second lane located adjacent to a first lane in which the own vehicle is traveling, the ECU changes the vehicle to follow from the first vehicle to the second vehicle.

Abstract

A vehicle includes a sideslip preventing function of preventing a sideslip of the vehicle by separately adjusting a longitudinal force applied to each of the wheels. A controller controls the vehicle based on requests input from a driver assistance device, thereby causing the vehicle to travel autonomously. The controller calculates wheel lateral force request values based on the requests input from the driver assistance device. The wheel lateral force request values are request values of lateral forces acting on the respective wheels. The controller, when a behavior of the vehicle is in an oversteer state in a case in which the sideslip preventing function is failing, limits the wheel lateral force request values for the front wheels to values less than or equal to a first lateral force limit value, which is a limit value of the lateral force that can act on the rear wheels.

Abstract

Provided is a travel control device that executes a coasting process, a cruising process, a gradient information acquisition process (S72, S72a), a deviation variable acquisition process (S74, S74a, S86), and a switching process (S62). The coasting process causes a vehicle to coast. The cruising process keeps the speed of the vehicle at a set speed while giving priority to meeting a certain condition. The certain condition defines that when a preceding vehicle exists within a prescribed range in front of the vehicle, the distance to the preceding vehicle is maintained within a predetermined range. The gradient information acquisition process acquires gradient information about the road surface on which the vehicle is traveling. The deviation variable acquisition process acquires a deviation variable, independently of the gradient information, that specifies the acceleration that is generated on the vehicle when the vehicle travels through the coasting process on a downhill slope having a predetermined gradient. The switching process inputs the gradient information and the deviation variable and includes: a process for switching to the coasting process when the vehicle travels on a downhill slope while the cruising process is being executed; and a process for switching to the coasting process when the magnitude of the gradient is different according to the value of the deviation variable.

Abstract

A backward movement control device (40) carries out backward movement control for a articulated vehicle (10) including a tractor (11) having a steering wheel (11F) and a trailer (12) towed by the tractor (11). The tractor (11) is equipped with a steering control device (30D) that executes feedback control causing the steering angle of the steering wheel (11F) of the tractor (11) to follow a target steering angle. The backward movement control device (40) includes a control unit (42B) configured to compute the target steering angle such that a virtual steering angle follows a target virtual steering angle when a backward movement operation for the articulated vehicle (10) is performed. The virtual steering angle is the steering angle of a steering wheel that exists virtually in the trailer under the assumption that the trailer (11) is a single vehicle, and the target virtual steering angle is a target value for the virtual steering angle set through a specific operation performed by an operator.

Abstract

A driving assistance device (40) is provided with a storage device (46) in which correspondence data (Dmx) is stored and an execution device (42, 44). The execution device executes an acquisition process (S44; S64; S84), a suggestion process (S46; S66; S86), and an activation setting process (S50; S70; S90). The acquisition process acquires a value of a travel situation variable. The suggestion process operates a human interface (72) to suggest, to a driver of a vehicle, activation of one or a plurality of situation assistance processes according to the correspondence data, on the basis of the value of the travel situation variable. The activation setting process activates setting of the approved situation assistance process when approval of the suggestion by the driver is detected via the human interface.

Abstract

This driving assistance apparatus is used in a vehicle (VC) provided with: a steering actuator (32) that steers to-be-steered wheels; and brake actuators (41-44). The driving assistance apparatus executes slip detection processing (S22) and limiting processing (S24, S24a). The slip detection processing (S22) detects the slippage of the vehicle on a road surface on which the vehicle is traveling. The limiting processing (S24, S24a) limits the braking force of the brake actuators to the low side. The limiting processing includes processing whereby if the to-be-steered wheels are being steered in order for the vehicle to avoid an obstacle and if sliding has been detected by the slide detection processing, then the braking force of the braking actuators is limited to the low side at least during the period over which the obstacle is being avoided.

Abstract

A travel controller recognizes an action of a driver of a vehicle from image data of the driver. The travel controller obtains information indicating that determination of whether autonomous driving of the vehicle is permissible cannot be given. When the information indicating that determination of whether the autonomous driving of the vehicle is permissible cannot be given is obtained, the travel controller operates a human interface to request the driver for an instruction to drive the vehicle. The travel controller determines whether the driver is giving an instruction to drive the vehicle from an action of the driver recognized in response to the request for an instruction to drive the vehicle. When determined in the determination process that the driver is giving an instruction to drive the vehicle, the travel controller operates a drive system of the vehicle to permit autonomous driving of the vehicle.
