Yosuke Kobayashi, +2 more
TLDR
In this article, a system and method for assisting a driver operating a vehicle traveling on a road includes a scene recognition device detecting an obstacle in the path of the vehicle, based on a distance (X) to the detected obstacle and a vehicle speed (Vh), a first target discrimination is effected.
Abstract: 
A system and method for assisting a driver operating a vehicle traveling on a road includes a scene recognition device detecting an obstacle in the path of the vehicle. Based on a distance (X) to the detected obstacle and a vehicle speed (Vh) of the vehicle, a first target discrimination is effected. Based on the distance (X) and a relative vehicle speed (Vr) of the vehicle with respect to the detected obstacle, a second target discrimination is effected. A first reaction force value (FA1, FB1) is determined versus a first risk (RP1) from the detected obstacle upon determination, by the first target discrimination, that the detected obstacle

Vehicle driving assist system

Yousuke Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. Kobayashi, +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a vehicle driving assist system calculates a risk potential indicative of a degree of convergence between a host vehicle and a preceding obstacle, and then the system performs a driver notification operation that produces a driver notifications stimulus based on the risk potential such as decreasing the driving force exerted against the vehicle as risk potential increases and increasing an actuation reaction force exerted on the accelerator pedal during its operation as the risk potentially increases.

Vehicle operation supporting device and vehicle operation supporting method

Masahiro Kobayashi, +2 more
TL;DR: When an obstacle on either of the two sides of a vehicle is detected, the future position of the vehicle after a prescribed time is predicted as discussed by the authors, and when the future predicted vehicle position reaches a prescribed lateral position in the width direction of the lane, control start is determined such that obstacle avoiding control is carried out to prevent the approach of vehicle to the obstacle.
