Abstract
A display control apparatus is installed in an own vehicle to display an image on a display device viewed by a passenger of the own vehicle. The display control apparatus includes a boundary acquisition section that acquires positions of boundary portions defining both width-wise ends of a traveling lane in which the own vehicle travels, and an object acquisition section that acquires a position of an object around the traveling lane. The apparatus generates a position image, which is an image representing the positions of the boundary portions and the position of the object, and displays the position image on the display device.
Claims12
A display control apparatus that is installed in an own vehicle to display an image on a display device viewed by a passenger of the own vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a boundary acquisition section that acquires positions of boundary portions defining both width-wise ends of a traveling lane in which the own vehicle travels;
- an object acquisition section that acquires a position of an object around the traveling lane;
- and
- a generation control section that generates a position image, which is an image representing the positions of the boundary portions and the position of the object and displays the position image on the display device, wherein
- during offset control under which a lateral position of the own vehicle is moved to a side distant from the object, the generation control unit displays an offset icon indicating that the offset control is being performed.
A vehicle control apparatus that is installed in an own vehicle to control the own vehicle, comprising:
- a boundary acquisition section that acquires positions of boundary portions defining both width-wise ends of a traveling lane in which the own vehicle travels;
- an object acquisition section that acquires a position of an object around the traveling lane;
- a deviation prediction section that predicts deviation of the own vehicle from the traveling lane based on a traveling state of the own vehicle traveling in the traveling lane defined by the boundary portions acquired by the boundary acquisition section;
- a deviation suppression section that, when the deviation prediction section predicts the deviation of the own vehicle from the traveling lane and the object exists on or outside the boundary portion on a side on which the own vehicle will deviate from the traveling lane, commands a traveling control apparatus to suppress the deviation of the own vehicle from the traveling lane such that a maximum movement position, which the own vehicle reaches when moving to a deviation side, is on a more inward side of the traveling lane than that on the occasion when there exists no object on or outside the boundary portion on the side on which the own vehicle will deviate from the traveling lane;
- and
- a generation control section that generates a position image, which is an image representing the positions of the boundary portions and the position of the object, and displays the position image on a display device.
