System for avoiding collision with multiple moving bodies

Abstract

When turning right (left) at an intersection and crossing an oncoming vehicle lane, this system makes it possible to avoid blocking travel of or colliding with a moving body moving in the oncoming vehicle lane due to stopping in the oncoming vehicle lane, and to avoid colliding with a moving body after crossing the oncoming vehicle lane. Given two or more moving bodies present in the advancement direction on the path of the local vehicle, the external environment is detected before the local vehicle intersects with the path of a first moving body, which will first intersect the local vehicle path; if at least two moving bodies are detected, i.e., the first moving body and a second moving body which has a path in which the position of intersection with the path of the local vehicle is further than the position of intersection between the path of the local vehicle and the path of the first moving body, then a first intersection time, at which the first position of intersection between the planned path of the local vehicle and the predicted path of the first moving body is reached, and a second intersection time, at which a second position of intersection between the planned path of the local vehicle and the predicted path of the second moving body is reached, are calculated, and on the basis of the difference between the first intersection time and the second intersection time, the deceleration relative to the first moving body and the second moving body is changed.
