TL;DR: In this article, an obstacle detection device for a vehicle includes an area determining section for determining a detection area extended forward of a running vehicle and provided for detecting an obstacle, a split section for splitting the area into a plurality of small split zones, a detecting section for detecting a obstacle in each of the small split zone, inferring section for an inferring a path of the vehicle in the obstacle detection area, and a judging section for judging a rank of danger of an obstacle in the detection area.

TL;DR: In this article, the steering wheel can be operated prior to an intention of the operator to steer the vehicle away from a straight or curved lane, depending on conditions such as the presence of an obstacle in the direction of deviation of the vehicle, the existence of an adjacent lane, and the state of the lane on which the vehicle is running, such as a curved lane or a straight lane.

TL;DR: In this paper, an obstacle sensing apparatus for vehicles which enables efficient obstacle sensing and improves sensing precision is presented. But the apparatus comprises a section for predicting a deduced traveling passage on which the vehicle will travel, based on a steering angle, a yaw rate and a velocity of the vehicle, a section having a CCD camera, for detecting a current traveling-passage, a scanning-type radar unit for sensing obstacles within a predetermined area, and a danger level judging section for judging danger levels of the sensed obstacles.

TL;DR: In this paper, an obstacle detection system for an automotive vehicle detects obstacles ahead of the vehicle and finds the dynamic relativity between the vehicle between each obstacle and each of the obstacles, based on which information relating to a danger level between vehicle and each obstacle is operated on so as to make a danger judgement.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rear-end collision avoidance system with automatic brake control is described, which avoids a collision to the vehicle in front caused by inadvertent human errors using automatic emergency braking.
