    摘要: Rear lateral detection (RLL) ECU 10 determines whether or not a lane change assist control (LCA) is being performed. The RLDECU 10 sets a performing condition for performing a rear-end pre-crash safety control (rear PCS control) to a moderate performing condition when the LCA is being performed, and sets the performing condition of the rear PCS control to a normal performing condition when the LCA, is not being performed. The moderate performing condition is set such that the rear PCS control is performed more easily compared with the normal performing condition. For example, in the moderate performing condition, a detection area of a target vehicle which is a vehicle subject to the rear PCS control is expanded compared with the detection area in the normal performing condition.

    摘要: A collision avoidance apparatus includes an obstacle detection unit to detect an obstacle ahead of a vehicle; an approaching object detection unit to detect an approaching object approaching the vehicle from behind the vehicle; and an electronic control unit to calculate a collision time until the vehicle collides with the obstacle, based on the distance and relative speed of the obstacle, and starts a drive support to avoid a collision with the obstacle when the vehicle speed is a lower limit speed or greater, and the collision time is a threshold or less. When there is a likelihood for the object to collide with the vehicle from behind the vehicle, the electronic control unit lowers the lower limit speed, and/or starts drive support when the collision time is the threshold or less, even when the vehicle speed is less than the lower limit speed.

    摘要: A vehicle control apparatus has doors provided on a vehicle, including at least one first door which has a first maximum opening amount and at least one second door which has a second maximum opening amount smaller than the first maximum opening amount. The vehicle control apparatus sets a distance threshold to a first value when an opening operation is carried out or is about to be carried out to at least one first door, and sets the distance threshold to a second value smaller than the first value when the opening operation is carried out or is about to be carried out to the at least one second door.

    摘要: A vehicle exit assist apparatus includes: a right BSM ECU configured to issue a warning when a moving object approaching an own vehicle is detected; and a message uttering device including an amplifier and a speaker configured to operate by electric power supplied from an in-vehicle battery, and being configured to utter a sound message in accordance with control of the right BSM ECU. The right BSM ECU is configured to supply electric power to the message uttering device when a generator configured to charge the in-vehicle battery is operating, and bring the power supply to the message uttering device to an OFF state when a predetermined condition is satisfied after the generator is stopped.

    摘要: A drop-off assist device includes: a processor configured to determine that there is a possibility that a target approaching object passes by a door of a host vehicle when a second object is not present between the target approaching object and the host vehicle, correct the predicted movement path based on a position of an edge of the second object when the second object is present between the target approaching object and the host vehicle at a timing of setting the target approaching object, determine that there is the possibility that the target approaching object passes by the door of the host vehicle when the corrected predicted movement path is the path that passes by the door of the host vehicle, and issue an alarm when determining that there is the possibility that the target approaching object passes by the door of the host vehicle.

    摘要: A vehicle exit assist apparatus includes a target information acquisition device configured to detect a target present around a vehicle and acquire information regarding the detected target as target information; and a control unit configured to determine whether or not an obstruction target having a possibility of obstructing a safe vehicle exit of an occupant of the vehicle while the vehicle is stopped is present based on the target information, and to execute vehicle exit assist control that assists in the safe vehicle exit of the occupant when determination is made that the obstruction target is present. The control unit is configured to determine whether or not the obstruction target is a human being, and not to execute the vehicle exit assist control when determination is made that the obstruction target is a human being.
