Abstract:
A measuring and controlling apparatus for a vehicle includes an image processing device, which is mounted on a vehicle, photographs a circumferential state of the vehicle and processes the image signal; a radar signal processing device, which radiates radio wave or light to process a receiving signal; and a control device for controlling a brake, a throttle valve or a transmission based on the output results of the image processing device and the radar signal processing device. In such a measuring and controlling apparatus for a vehicle, the respective output information of the image processing device and the radar signal processing device includes time information at the time of photographing and time information at the time of measuring and the order of the photographed time and the measured time are adjusted. Thus, even if the processing time differs between the cases where a subject to be photographed is simple and complicated, since the photographed time and the measured time can be identified, the suitable processing according to the processing time can be executed. Thus, the running state of the vehicle can be controlled with high accuracy.
Abstract:
It is an object of the invention to provide a more practical ACC system. During a travel of a vehicle, an image processor successively extracts geometric feature values of image patterns of a leading vehicle from image data successively outputted from a camera device mounted at the front of the vehicle. When a travel start detector detects a travel of the vehicle, a reference parameter value setting process section of a microcomputer sets a geometric feature value of an image pattern of the leading vehicle extracted at appropriate timing as a reference parameter value. Thereafter, each time a geometric feature value of the image pattern of the leading vehicle is extracted, a target driving force calculation process section calculates a target driving force Ttar for reducing any difference between the geometric feature value and the value set as the reference parameter value. A vehicle controller supplies to controllers a control command in accordance with the target driving force.
