Automatic brake control device for automobile

TLDR
In this article, an automatic automobile brake control device capable of improving the rotational efficiency of a vehicle correspondingly to steering operation only in the necessary case while maintaining the braking property of the vehicle is presented.
Abstract
PURPOSE: To provide an automatic automobile brake control device capable of improving the rotational efficiency of a vehicle correspondingly to steering operation only in the necessary case while maintaining the braking property of the vehicle. CONSTITUTION: When driver's steering operation is detected in the automatic automobile brake control device for detecting a distance between a self-vehicle and an obstacle and a relative speed, judging the possibility of contact between the vehicle and the obstacle, and at the time of judging the possibility of contact, automatically acting braking pressure on respective wheels to brake the vehicle, the braking pressure is controlled at every wheel so as to improve the rotational property of the vehicle in the operation direction and the control of braking pressure at every wheel is executed only when operator's steering operation is detected, the self-vehicle and the obstacle are in an approaching state and the device judges to the effect that contact between the self-vehicle and the obstacle can not be evaded only by the braking operation of the vehicle based upon the control of braking pressure.

Vehicle controlling apparatus and method

TL;DR: In this paper, an obstacle existing ahead of a vehicle is recognized to detect information on the obstacle and the vehicle, and the steering performance of the vehicle is changed for controlling behaviors of vehicle.
Patent

Vehicle operation assisting system

TL;DR: In this article, the steering angle is prevented from becoming too large due to excessive assist, thereby facilitating a return operation after avoiding an obstacle, and the target assist electrical current is supplied to a steering actuator.
Patent

Steering device of vehicle

TL;DR: In this paper, a car speed detecting means and a means to release steering restraining control when car speed is not more than a preset value was proposed. But the steering was not restrained, and turning performance of a vehicle was not improved.
Patent

Obstacle avoidance control system for vehicle

TL;DR: In this paper, the avoidance of an obstacle by a vehicle is enhanced by effective balancing an automatic braking operation and a turnability increasing control operation assisting in a steering operation of the vehicle whereby the obstacle avoiding capability is enhanced to the maximum.
Patent

Control device of vehicle

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an approach to achieve automatic steering along the traveling locus requested by a driver based on the assumption that the automatic steering is achieved so that a vehicle is traveled along a target traveling locust to be determined based on a traveling lane.
