A travel control method is provided, in which a subject vehicle is controlled to autonomously travel on a road including intersections, the travel control method comprising: determining whether or not an intersection for the subject vehicle to seek to pass straight through is an offset intersection that is offset to the right or left with respect to a direction straight ahead of the subject vehicle; and when the intersection is an offset intersection, controlling the subject vehicle to pass through the intersection at a lower speed than when the intersection is not an offset intersection.

Travel control method and travel control device for vehicle

A method for correcting a travelling trajectory of a vehicle which is executed by a processor includes: generating a subject vehicle travelling route that a subject vehicle travels based on map information stored in a database; calculating a travelling trajectory of the subject vehicle to be a target trajectory when the subject vehicle travels on the subject vehicle travelling route; detecting a position of another vehicle travelling on a lane located in a width direction of the subject vehicle by a sensor provided for the subject vehicle; calculating an offset of a position of the other vehicle in another vehicle lane that the other vehicle travels based on the position of the other vehicle; and correcting the travelling trajectory of the subject vehicle in accordance with the offset.

Traveling trajectory correction method, traveling control method, and traveling trajectory correction device

A travel assistance method generates a first traveling path based on map information around a circumference of a host vehicle, generates a second traveling path based on the surroundings, determines that a switch from the first traveling path to the second traveling path is needed when detecting that the first traveling path being generated is to end ahead of the host vehicle while the host vehicle is traveling on the first traveling path, and controls the host vehicle to make a transition from the first traveling path to the second traveling path when the switch is determined to be needed.

An information processing device installed inside a vehicle includes a first input port inputting a first image data imaged by a first imaging device, a second input port inputting a second image data imaged by a second imaging device, a display displaying an image data, and a controller determining the image data displayed on the display in accordance with an installation location of the information processing device inside the vehicle. The controller estimates the installation location of the information processing device based on a position of a human being's face detected by the first image data and distance information to an object detected by the second image data.

A method of displaying information on a display of a display device via a display controller includes imaging a user of the display device using an imaging device integrated with the display device or provided around the display device, detecting a line of sight of the user from an image captured by the imaging device, determining whether the display exists within a central visual field region centered on the detected line of sight of the user or within a peripheral visual field region located outside the central visual field region, displaying notification information on the display in a first display form when the display exists within the central visual field region, and displaying the notification information on the display in a second display form when the display exists within the peripheral visual field region, the second display form having a higher abstraction level than that in the first display form.

Information display method and display control device

An information presentation system includes an onboard device including a camera provided on a vehicle, and a terminal device having portability and performing wireless communication with the onboard device. The terminal device is configured to acquire an image around the vehicle captured by the camera, superimpose a distance marker on the image, the distance marker representing a distance from the vehicle, determine a delay state including a delay time of the wireless communication between the onboard device and the terminal device, and present the image on which the distance marker is superimposed. When the wireless communication is not delayed, the terminal device superimposes the distance marker on the image at a reference position at which a distance from the vehicle is a distance represented by the distance marker.

In apparatus and method for detecting a traffic lane mark for an automotive vehicle, a plurality of traffic lane detection windows are set in a manner for the traffic lane to be included in each traffic lane detection window from an image data photographed by a photograph device, the traffic lane mark is detected from a luminous intensity information within each traffic lane detection window of each coordinate point, a plurality of noise detection windows are set at positions which abut the respective traffic lane detection windows, an edge intensity within each noise detection window is detected; a weight value to a predetermined number of the traffic lane detection windows is modified in accordance with the edge intensity in the noise detection window; and a road contour is calculated using the traffic lane detected at the window internal traffic lane detecting and the modified weight value.

Apparatus and method for detecting traffic lane mark for automotive vehicle

A lane recognition system for a vehicle is comprised of a camera set, a memory and a controller connected to the camera set and the memory. The camera set picks up a road image of a road ahead of the vehicle, and the memory stores parameters representative of a model lane marker of the road image. The controller is arranged to set a plurality of lane-marker detecting areas on the road image so that each lane-marker detecting area is partially overlapped with the lane-marker detecting areas adjacent to the one of the lane-marker candidate-point detecting areas, to detect each lane marker candidate point in each lane-marker detecting area, to calculate variations of the parameters, to correct the parameters according to the variation, and to output road-shape indicative information on the basis of the parameters.
