Driving assistance system and control method thereof

A parking assist system includes a control device configured to control screen display of a display device, to set a parking position candidate selected by an occupant as a target parking position, and to control an autonomous parking operation to autonomously move the vehicle to the target parking position. When a number of the parking position candidates detected by a parking position candidate detector exceeds a predetermined upper limit number, the control device selects, from among the detected parking position candidates, the upper limit number of parking position candidates to be displayed on the display device according to a predetermined rule and causes the display device to display the parking position candidates that have been selected.

A parking assist system includes a control device configured to control screen display of a display device, to set the parking position candidate selected by an occupant as a target parking position, and to control an autonomous parking operation to autonomously move the vehicle to the target parking position. When multiple parking position candidates partially overlapping with each other are detected by a parking position candidate detector, the control device causes the display device to display the multiple parking position candidates so as to partially overlap with each other and to be selectable.

A vehicle control system includes a terminal, a control device, and an external environment sensor. The control device includes an action plan unit, an external environment recognizing unit, and a traveling control unit. The terminal includes a position detection unit and an input unit. In a case where a prescribed condition is satisfied, the action plan unit computes or maintains a traveling route that is not restricted by a person to be present in a moving side area located on one lateral side for which a vehicle should be headed. In a case where the prescribed condition is not satisfied, the action plan unit computes the traveling route such that the vehicle reaches a parking position after moving straight for a prescribed distance or more. The prescribed condition is satisfied in a case where a position of the terminal is present in the moving side area.

Vehicle control system

A parking assist system includes: a control device configured to execute an automatic parking process and an automatic unparking process. The control device is configured to cause a notification device to output an end-of-parking notification when, in the automatic parking process, the vehicle has reached the target parking position and the control device ends the automatic parking process, and to cause the notification device to output an instruction notification to request the occupant to perform a prescribed operation on an operation member when, in the automatic unparking process, the vehicle has reached the target unparking position and the control device ends the automatic unparking process, and to cause the notification device to output an end-of-unparking notification when the prescribed operation is detected.

A parking assist system includes: a control device configured to control a powertrain, a brake device, and a steering device to autonomously move a vehicle to a target position; a display device; and operation members configured to receive an operation performed by an occupant of the vehicle. The control device is configured to set at least one target position candidate according to a first operation performed on one of the operation members and cause the display device to display the at least one target position candidate, decide the target position from the at least one target position candidate according to a second operation performed on one of the operation members, and execute driving control for autonomously moving the vehicle to the target position according to a third operation performed on one of the operation members, wherein the first operation and the third operation are an identical operation.

A parking assist system includes: a control device configured to control a vehicle, a vehicle position detecting device configured to detect a position of the vehicle; a shift device configured to be operated for changing a shift position; and a brake input member configured to be operated for driving a brake device. In a case where the vehicle is stopped at a position other than a target position and a switching position, the control device changes the shift position to a parking position or a neutral position unless a shift maintenance condition is satisfied. The shift maintenance condition includes at least one of condition (i) that the vehicle is stopped at a position out of a prescribed range according to an operation of the brake input member and a condition (ii) that a cause for which the vehicle has been stopped is removed.

A parking assist system includes: a display device configured to display a parking space candidate; and a control device configured to control a screen display of the display device, to set the parking space candidate selected by a user to a target parking space, to set a stop position where the vehicle should be stopped in the target parking space, and to execute a driving process to autonomously move the vehicle along a trajectory to the stop position. While executing the driving process, the control device causes the display device to display the trajectory and the stop position and determines whether the stop position is suitable based on external environment information. Upon determining that the stop position is not suitable, the control device corrects the stop position and causes the display device to display the stop position that has been corrected.

A vehicle control system includes: a terminal configured to be carried by a user; and a control device configured to execute remote autonomous moving processing to move a vehicle from an initial position to a stop position. The terminal includes: a touch panel configured to display an acceptance area that accepts a prescribed repetitive operation performed for continuing traveling of the vehicle and to display a suspension icon that accepts an operation performed for stopping the vehicle; and a processing unit configured to make the touch panel display the suspension icon at a part where the repetitive operation has been performed when the repetitive operation is stopped. When the control device or the processing unit determines that the suspension icon is operated or that the repetitive operation is not resumed within a prescribed period after the repetitive operation has been stopped, the control device stops the vehicle.
