Abstract
A vehicle control device comprises a unit to detect a distance to an obstacle; a unit to detect a speed of the vehicle; and a reduction support unit to, based on the speed and the distance, perform support for reduction of a speed of the vehicle. The reduction support unit changes the distance at which the reduction support is to be performed between a case where driving during parking and a case where not driving during parking. The distance at which the reduction support is to be performed is, for a first speed range, longer in a case where driving during parking than in a case where not driving during parking, and, for a second speed range, longer in a case where not driving during parking than in a case where driving during parking.
Claims7
A vehicle control device operable to reduce an approach between a vehicle and an obstacle, the device comprising:
- a distance detection unit configured to detect a distance to an obstacle;
- a speed detection unit configured to detect a speed of the vehicle;
- and
- a reduction support unit configured to, based on the speed and the distance to the obstacle, perform support for reduction of a speed of the vehicle,
- wherein
- the reduction support unit changes the distance at which the reduction support is to be performed between a parking mode and a normal driving mode, and
- the distance at which the reduction support is to be performed is longer during the parking mode compared to the normal driving mode, for a first speed range;
- and the distance at which the reduction support is to be performed is longer during the normal driving mode compared to the parking mode, for a second speed range that is higher speed range than the first speed range.
A vehicle in which a vehicle control device operable to reduce an approach between a vehicle and an obstacle is mounted, wherein
- the vehicle control device comprises:
- a distance detection unit configured to detect a distance to an obstacle;
- a speed detection unit configured to detect a speed of the vehicle;
- and
- a reduction support unit configured to, based on the speed and the distance to the obstacle, perform support for reduction of a speed of the vehicle,
- wherein
- the reduction support unit changes the distance at which the reduction support is to be performed between a parking mode and a normal driving mode, and
- the distance at which the reduction support is to be performed is longer during the parking mode compared to the normal driving mode, for a first speed range;
- and the distance at which the reduction support is to be performed is longer during the normal driving mode compared to the parking mode, for a second speed range that is higher speed range than the first speed range.
