A brake noise at stationary steering is prevented while brake hold being in operation, in automated steering with parking assist control. An automated-parking control unit includes: an environment recognizer to recognize environment of a vehicle; a behavior controller to execute behavior control inclusive of steering and acceleration/deceleration, based on recognized information; a brake hold instructor to suspend the vehicle with the behavior control and hold the vehicle suspended until receiving behavior-related operation by a driver; an automated-parking controller to set a reverse-steering position, based on a current position of the vehicle and a desired parking position decided by the driver, between the current position and the desired parking position, move the vehicle from the current position to the reverse-steering position, and execute stationary steering at the reverse-steering position; and a brake fluid pressure controller to increase a brake fluid pressure when stationary steering is executed at the reverse-steering position.

Parking assist system and vehicle with automated parking capability

Provided are a travel assist device capable of producing, in a preferred manner, warning vibrations notifying deviation of a vehicle with respect to a travel path, and a method of controlling the same. A travel assist device includes a travel assist control device that notifies a driver about an anti-deviation direction or a deviation direction by making a steering angular acceleration in the deviation direction and the steering angular acceleration in the anti-deviation direction different from each other when producing warning vibrations, wherein a time-derivative value of a steering angle of a steering wheel is defined as a steering angular velocity, and a time-derivative value of the steering angular velocity is defined as the steering angular acceleration.

Travel assist device and method of controlling travel assist device

A lane outward deviation avoidance assist apparatus includes: a recognition device configured to recognize a travel lane of a vehicle; a deviation recognition part configured to recognize a deviation from the travel lane recognized by the recognition device or a deviation prediction from the travel lane; a control part configured to perform a deviation avoidance control for avoiding the deviation from the travel lane at least by a steering; and a deviation number count part configured to count the number of deviations from the travel lane recognized by the deviation recognition part within a predetermined duration or the number of deviation predictions from the travel lane, wherein the control part performs at least any one of the deviation avoidance control and an alarm output control when the number counted by the deviation number count part reaches n, n being a natural number more than 1.

Lane outward deviation avoidance assist apparatus and lane outward deviation avoidance assist method

The driving support device includes: a recognition section configured to recognize each positions of a specific object and a road marking with reference to peripheral information of a own vehicle acquired by a sensor section configured to acquire the peripheral information; and a control section configured to perform different controls on the own vehicle, with reference to recognition results of the recognition section, depending on whether the specific object is present in a first state or a second state, the first state being a state where the specific object is present in a region more outside than a traveling lane with respect to an imaginary line that extends along a traveling direction of the own vehicle, the second state being a state where the specific object is present in a region on a more central side of the traveling lane with respect to the imaginary line.

Driving support device

A steering control device for a vehicle has a steering assistance means () which performs steering assistance processing for driving an actuator () so that a vehicle () travels along a lane recognized by a lane recognition means () from an image acquired by an image acquisition means (); a side displacement amount calculation means () which calculates a displacement amount in the lane width direction between the position of the vehicle () and the center of the recognized lane; a complexity calculation means () which calculates the complexity of the acquired image; and a steering assistance inhibition means () which inhibits, according to the displacement amount in the lane width direction calculated based on the lane recognized from the acquired image at a given time point and the complexity of the acquired image, steering assistance processing based on the lane by the steering assistance means (). This prevents inappropriate steering control based on an incorrectly recognized lane when performing the steering control of the vehicle so that the vehicle travels along the lane recognized from the road image.
