A control system of a vehicle is provided. The control system includes a travelling plan database, stored with a future first travelling plan of a first vehicle and future second travelling plans of second vehicles, and disclosing the first and second travelling plans to a third party; a long distance communication unit; and a control unit. The control unit includes a matching component, querying the second vehicle that can be matched with the first vehicle to travel together on a specified road section with reference to travelling plans stored in the travelling plan database to compile a reservation table accordingly, and allowing a creator of the first travelling plan to perform platooning control on the specified road section according to the reservation table; and a pairing component, connecting the matched first vehicle and second vehicle through the long distance communication unit, so that the platooning control can be performed.

Control system of vehicle

The invention relates to a parking assistance device, comprising an autonomous vehicle detecting unit adapted to detect whether a parked vehicle is an autonomous vehicle () capable of moving autonomously, a parking space optimization area detecting unit adapted to detect at least one parking space optimization area (), a distance measuring unit adapted to measure a distance () in front of or behind the at least one autonomous vehicle (), a parking spot determining unit adapted to determine whether or not a subset of the distances () measured by the distance measuring unit is equal to or larger than a predetermined distance required for parking a host vehicle (), and a communication unit () adapted to output a movement command to the at least one parked autonomous vehicle (). The invention further relates to an according parking assistance method.

Parking assistance device

The invention relates to a driving assistant adapted for active control of a vehicle based on predictions of a behavior of a detected object. A method aspect of the invention comprises accepting a first prediction of a behavior associated with the detected object from a first prediction subsystem and a second prediction from a second prediction subsystem; determining a control signal based on a combination of the first prediction and the second prediction; and initiating active control of the vehicle based on the control signal.

Driving assistance technique for active vehicle control

A method predicts trajectories of traffic objects to avoid collisions. The method estimates the probability for at least two traffic objects to collide, and predicts a potential movement of the traffic objects presumably involved in the collision after the collision. This information about a potential movement of the traffic objects can be used to plan a suitable trajectory path of an evasion maneuver for a host-vehicle employing the method. A system detects the collision situation and applies crash situation models to predict the future dynamic properties of other traffic objects that collide or are about to collide with each other. The method and system applies specific crash models like collision models, models derived from crash simulations and tests or models of human reactions in emergency situations.

Method and system for post-collision manoeuvre planning and vehicle equipped with such system

In an intelligent forward collision warning system that takes into account not only a first preceding vehicle traveling immediately ahead of the ego vehicle but also a second preceding vehicle traveling immediately ahead of the first preceding vehicle, a warning signal is produced upon detecting a critical state of the first or second preceding vehicle or an external condition that is predicted to cause the first preceding vehicle and the ego vehicle to be in a same lane with the first time to collision (TTC) below a prescribed value.

Intelligent forward collision warning system

A vehicle travel control apparatus includes a utility function determination unit, which determines a utility function fu representing a relationship between the manipulated variable for vehicle speed control of an own vehicle and an effectiveness degree, a travel inhibition degree function determination unit, which determines a travel inhibition degree function fr representing a relationship between the manipulated variable for vehicle speed control and an estimated travel inhibition degree of the own vehicle, and an appropriateness function determination unit, which determines an appropriateness function fap combining both functions fu and fr. A driving/braking force of the own vehicle is manipulated according to the value of the manipulated variable for vehicle speed control corresponding to a highest appropriateness in the appropriateness function fap.

The invention proposes a method for detecting dynamic objects in the scene in a driver assistance system of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:

Object motion detection system based on combining 3D warping techniques and a proper object motion detection

The present invention relates to a technique for detecting dynamic (i.e., moving) objects using sensor signals with 3D information and can be deployed e.g. in driver assistance systems.
