Abstract
An acceleration suppression device for a vehicle and an acceleration suppression method for a vehicle can reduce a reduction in drivability due to the operation of an acceleration suppression control while crossing an intersection. If it is determined that an intersection lying ahead of an own vehicle is detected, a process is implemented to suppress an acceleration suppression control in a travel distance range in which the travel distance of the own vehicle after detecting the intersection is less than or equal to a preset first travel distance threshold value.
Claims9
A vehicle acceleration suppression device comprising:
- an acceleration operation amount detection unit configured to detect an acceleration operation amount of an acceleration operation member configured to be operated by a driver for instructing acceleration;
- an acceleration control unit configured to control acceleration to be generated for an own vehicle depending on the acceleration operation amount detected by the acceleration operation amount detection unit;
- an imaging unit configured to capture an image of an area including a road surface around the own vehicle;
- a parking frame line candidate detection unit configured to detect, from the image captured by the imaging unit, a line located on the road surface as a parking frame line candidate;
- a parking frame extraction unit configured to extract a parking frame from the parking frame line candidate detected by the parking frame line candidate detection unit;
- an acceleration suppression control unit configured to implement an acceleration suppression control based on the parking frame extracted by the parking frame extraction unit, the acceleration suppression control configured to reduce the acceleration controlled by the acceleration control unit;
- and
- a suppression control suppression unit configured to suppress the acceleration suppression control in a predetermined area including an intersection.
A vehicle acceleration suppression method comprising:
- implementing an acceleration suppression control which is a control configured to extract a parking frame from a line located on a road surface and detected from an image capturing an area including a road surface around an own vehicle, and configured to, based on the extracted parking frame, reduce acceleration which is generated for the own vehicle depending on an acceleration operation amount of an acceleration operation member configured to be operated by a driver for instructing acceleration;
- and
- implementing a process of suppressing the acceleration suppression control in a predetermined area including an intersection.
