Title:
DRIVING-ASSISTANCE DEVICE AND DRIVING-ASSISTANCE METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/080484
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This driving-assistance device (100) sets a normal-travel region (AR) around the ego vehicle and uses the presence of an unavoidable obstacle (D) in said normal-travel region (AR) as the condition for providing collision-avoidance driving assistance. In particular, this driving-assistance device (100) sets the width (W) of the normal-travel region (AR) in accordance with rules based on obstacle (D) type and the like. The point in time at which it is determined that a collision with an obstacle (D) cannot be avoided inside the normal-travel region (AR) (the point in time at which the condition for providing collision-avoidance driving assistance is met) can thus vary in accordance with obstacle (D) type and the like, allowing collision-avoidance driving assistance that feels more appropriate to the driver.
