A vehicle control device includes an electronic control unit configured to: enlarge the detection range, when the electronic control unit determines that a current deceleration support control is control for passing the object; set a new target deceleration of the host vehicle when a new object with a possibility of collision with the host vehicle has been detected in the enlarged detection range; determine whether an interval from an ending time of the current deceleration support control to a starting time of the next deceleration support control is less than a threshold value, when the electronic control unit determines that the next deceleration support control is control for passing the new object; and perform one of the inter-vehicle distance control and acceleration support control from the ending time to the starting time, when the electronic control unit determines that the interval is less than the threshold value.

Vehicle control device and control method

Provided is a vehicle braking support device. The braking support device includes: detection units for detecting a state around a host vehicle; a braking support control unit for executing braking support by a braking device according to the detected state; and a vehicle stop control unit for maintaining a stopped state of a host vehicle after the host vehicle is stopped by the braking support control unit, and for releasing the stopped state of the host vehicle after a predetermined period has elapsed. The vehicle stop control unit, in a case where by using the detected state it is determined that it is desirable to maintain the stopped state of the host vehicle beyond the predetermined period, the vehicle stop control unit does not release the stopped state of the host vehicle until an operation by a driver is detected.

Vehicle braking support device and braking support control method

A control device includes an electronic control unit configured to expand a first detection range at least in front of a host vehicle during execution of current first steering control, determine whether next first steering control is needed to be implemented and whether a relative direction of a next second object with respect to the host vehicle is the same as a relative direction of a first object with respect to the host vehicle when the second object is detected, and perform relaxation steering control based on a target value smaller in absolute value than a return target value after an end of the current first steering control when the implementation of the next first steering control is determined to be needed and the relative directions with respect to the host vehicle are determined to be the same between the second and the first object.

Control device for vehicle and control method of vehicle

A vehicle control device includes at least one electronic control unit configured to recognize at least one object, calculate a time to collision, operate first driving assistance, when the time to collision is equal to or less than a first threshold value, operate second driving assistance for avoiding the collision between the at least one object and the host vehicle or reducing damage of the collision, when the time to collision is equal to or less than a second threshold value smaller than the first threshold value, and set, while the first driving assistance is operated, the second threshold value to a second setting value smaller than a first setting value set when the first driving assistance is not operated, when a second target object causing the second driving assistance to operate is the same object as a first target object causing the first driving assistance to operate.

Vehicle control device

A control device includes an electronic control unit executes steering control for avoiding a collision with an object that has a possibility of colliding with a host vehicle. The electronic control unit sets a timing when the host vehicle is predicted to pass the object as an end timing of the steering control when the steering control is performed. The electronic control unit determines whether or not a deviation possibility is present when the electronic control unit assumes that the steering control ends at the end timing. The deviation possibility is a possibility of the host vehicle deviating from a current traveling lane accompanying an end of the steering control. The electronic control unit performs reduction processing that reduces the deviation possibility when the electronic control unit determines that the deviation possibility is present.

A vehicle control device includes an external sensor configured to acquire environmental information around a host vehicle, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to control the host vehicle so that the host vehicle travels along a target travel trajectory; detect an adjacent preceding vehicle that is traveling in a lane adjacent to a lane in which the host vehicle is traveling; acquire environmental information on a road side or a lane on an opposite side of the lane in which the adjacent traveling vehicle is traveling from the lane in which the host vehicle is traveling; and generate the target travel trajectory of the host vehicle so as to move away from the adjacent preceding vehicle in a width direction of the lane in which the host vehicle is traveling, within a lane width of the lane in which the host vehicle is traveling.

Vehicle control device and control method for vehicle

A control device for a vehicle includes a camera sensor and an ECU. The ECU defines a specified area based on a position of a stationary object when the recognized objects include the stationary object. The ECU performs first driving support for reducing a possibility of a collision between a moving body and the host vehicle when the recognized objects include the moving body which is positioned within the specified area. Boundary lines partitioning the specified area include a first traveling direction boundary line extending in a traveling direction of the host vehicle. An inside of the specified area is a side on which the stationary object is positioned with respect to the first traveling direction boundary line. The first traveling direction boundary line is set on a side opposite to the stationary object across a reference line set based on a predicted course of the host vehicle.

Control device for vehicle and control method for vehicle

An object recognition device installed on a vehicle includes a first camera detecting a first object, a second camera detecting a second object, a ranging sensor detecting a third object, and a controller. The controller sets first to third determination ranges with respect to detected positions of the first to third objects, respectively, and executes fusion processing by comparing the determination ranges. First and second pixel densities being pixel densities of the first and second objects are determined based on detected distances of the first and second objects, angles of view and numbers of pixels of the first and second cameras, respectively. The controller sets the first determination range larger as the first pixel density is lower, and sets the second determination range larger as the second pixel density is lower.

Object recognition device and vehicle travel control system

A vehicle control system includes an electronic control unit configured to: recognize at least one object; determine a risk of the at least one object entering a course of the host vehicle; and perform, when the at least one object enters a target area set in front of the host vehicle with respect to the host vehicle, driving support. The electronic control unit is configured to determine whether the risk is high or low based on a relative relationship between two or more objects, and the electronic control unit is configured to set the target area to be larger when it is determined that the risk is high than when it is determined that the risk is low.
