Title:
VEHICULAR DRIVING ASSIST DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/081208
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A vehicular driving assist device of the present invention includes: a determination means which determines the traffic flow status in a lane where the vehicle is driving, said determination being made on the basis of the acceleration of the vehicle and the distance between the vehicle and another nearby vehicle; and a driving control means which controls the driving of the vehicle and is capable of changing driving control in response to a determination result from the determination means. The driving control means changes the driving control when the determination result indicates that the traffic flow status is a critical region status which exists during transition from a free-flow status where there is a low possibility of congestion to a mixed-flow status where a vehicular braking status and an acceleration status are mixed.
