In a driving assist apparatus which performs a warning about an object approaching a self-vehicle from a rear side when a first intention that is an intention of a driver who is going to make the self-vehicle turn at an intersection is detected, an arrival time that is a period from a first time point that is a time point when the first intention is detected until the self-vehicle reaches an intersection point of running paths estimated for the object and self-vehicle is estimated, a stoppage time that is a period from the first time point until stoppage of the self-vehicle is completed is estimated according to operation states of an accelerator and/or brake at the first time point, necessity of the warning is judged based on the arrival time and stoppage time, and the warning is performed only when the warning is judged to be necessary.

Driving assist apparatus

A device includes a processor configured to: issue an alarm when a movement path condition is met and a prohibition condition is not met, the movement path condition being met when an approaching object of which a predicted movement path is a path along which the object passes by a door of the host vehicle is present; and not issue the alarm when the prohibition condition is met, even when the movement path condition is met, wherein the prohibition condition includes a condition to be met when a difference between a distance in a transverse direction from the host vehicle to a stationary object and a distance in the transverse direction from the host vehicle to the approaching object is equal to or less than a predetermined value in a case where the stationary object is present, the stationary object being stationary at a side of the host vehicle.

Drop-off assist device

An alighting support device performs warning to notify a vehicle occupant of presence of a moving body having a possibility to come into contact with a right door or a left door of the vehicle. The alighting support device performs the warning when a warning condition is satisfied. When the right door or the left door is opened or is about to be opened while the moving body is moving in a right warning area set on the right side of the vehicle or a left warning area set on the left side of the vehicle, the alighting support device determines that the warning condition is satisfied. When the moving body enters the right warning area or the left warning area with the right door or the left door being open to a predetermined degree or more, the alighting support device determines that the warning condition is not satisfied.

Alighting support device

A drop-off assist device includes: a processor configured to determine that there is a possibility that a target approaching object passes by a door of a host vehicle when a second object is not present between the target approaching object and the host vehicle, correct the predicted movement path based on a position of an edge of the second object when the second object is present between the target approaching object and the host vehicle at a timing of setting the target approaching object, determine that there is the possibility that the target approaching object passes by the door of the host vehicle when the corrected predicted movement path is the path that passes by the door of the host vehicle, and issue an alarm when determining that there is the possibility that the target approaching object passes by the door of the host vehicle.

Provided is an alert apparatus for a vehicle configured to: in a case where a connection state of a switch is an off state, determine whether or not there is an alert-target object based on vehicle peripheral information which has been acquired until an off time point at which the connection state of the switch is changed to the off state, the alert-target object being a moving object to be alerted when an occupant of the vehicle gets out of the vehicle; and configured to, when determining that there is the alert-target object, cause an alerting device to perform an alerting operation.

Alert apparatus for vehicle

A vehicle alert device () executes alert control of determining, when a target is detected in a periphery of an own vehicle (C), within a set calculation period, whether the target is an alert-target object that does not include a stationary object, determining, when the target is an alert-target object, whether the alert-target object exists in a blind spot area (RL, RR) of a driver, and alerting the driver when the alert-target object exists in the blind spot area. The vehicle alert device avoids executing the alert control when a relative speed of the own vehicle with respect to the alert-target object at a time when the own vehicle overtakes the alert-target object is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value. The vehicle alert device sets the predetermined threshold value to a larger value and sets the set calculation period to a shorter value, when a travel speed of the own vehicle at the time when the own vehicle overtakes the alert-target object is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, than the predetermined threshold value and the set calculation period at a time when the travel speed of the own vehicle is lower than the predetermined speed.

Vehicle alert device

A rear pre-crash system, RPCS, of a subject vehicle comprising a judgement logic adapted to trigger an RPCS warning signal in response to a detected radar signal reflected by a target vehicle approaching the subject vehicle from behind, wherein said judgement logic is configured to modify the triggering of the RPCS warning signal in detected specific traffic scenarios.
