US 2010/0250064 A1 · CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE IN WHICH TRAVELING ENVIRONMENT RECOGNITION APPARATUS IS INSTALLED

Abstract

In a control apparatus for a vehicle in which a traveling environment recognition apparatus is installed, a road shape prediction section configured to predict a road shape of a traveling road in a forward direction of the vehicle on a basis of a result of recognition by an object recognition section; a travel trajectory predicting section configured to predict a travel trajectory of the vehicle; a point of intersection calculation section configured to calculate a point of intersection between a road end of the road predicted by the road shape prediction section and a travel trajectory predicted by the travel trajectory prediction section; and a speed control section configured to control a speed of the vehicle with the point of intersection calculated by the point of intersection calculation section as a target point of place.

Dependent claims

A control apparatus for a vehicle in which a traveling environment recognition apparatus is installed, comprising:

a traveling road state detection section configured to detect a state of a traveling road in a forward direction of the vehicle;
an object recognition section configured to recognize at least a presence of an object on the traveling road from a detection result of the traveling road state detection section;
a road shape prediction section configured to predict a road shape of the traveling road in the forward direction of the vehicle on a basis of a result of recognition by the object recognition section;
a travel trajectory predicting section configured to predict a travel trajectory of the vehicle;
a point of intersection calculation section configured to calculate a point of intersection between a road end of the road predicted by the road shape prediction section and a trajectory predicted by the travel trajectory prediction section;
and
a speed control section configured to control a speed of the vehicle, with the point of intersection calculated by the point of intersection calculation section as a target point of place.

4 more elements

A control apparatus for a vehicle in which a traveling environment recognition apparatus is installed, wherein the traveling environment recognition apparatus comprises:

a road state recognition section configured to recognize a presence of a white line or an object located aside a traveling road in a forward direction of the vehicle;
a reliability determination section configured to determine a reliability of a result of recognition by the road state recognition section;
and a road shape prediction section configured to predict a road shape on the traveling road located in the forward direction of the vehicle on a basis of the information from the road state recognition section in a case where the reliability determined by the reliability determination section is lower than a predetermined reliability.
