Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A trajectory tracking control unit carries out a trajectory tracking control in the event that a predetermined condition is satisfied. On the other hand, in the case that a preceding vehicle recognizing unit detects that a preceding vehicle has moved in a vehicle transverse direction, the trajectory tracking control unit predicts that the preceding vehicle will depart from a lane in which it is traveling. Therefore, even if the predetermined condition is satisfied after the preceding vehicle recognizing unit has detected that the preceding vehicle has moved in the vehicle transverse direction, the trajectory tracking control unit does not cause the driver's own vehicle to follow the trajectory of the preceding vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A driving support device comprising: a preceding vehicle recognizing unit configured to recognize a preceding vehicle; and a trajectory tracking control unit configured to, in a case that a predetermined condition is satisfied, control a driver's own vehicle so as to follow a trajectory of the preceding vehicle that has been recognized by the preceding vehicle recognizing unit; wherein, even if the predetermined condition is satisfied after the preceding vehicle recognizing unit has detected that the preceding vehicle has moved in a vehicle transverse direction, the trajectory tracking control unit does not cause the driver's own vehicle to follow the trajectory of the preceding vehicle. 2 . The driving support device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a lane marking recognizing unit configured to recognize a lane marking of a lane in which the driver's own vehicle travels; wherein the predetermined condition is that the lane marking is no longer recognized by the lane marking recognizing unit. 3 . The driving support device according to claim 1 , further comprising: an imaginary line setting unit configured to, in a case that the predetermined condition is satisfied, set a lane marking imaginary line to the vehicle transverse direction in which the preceding vehicle moves; wherein, even if the predetermined condition is satisfied after the preceding vehicle recognizing unit has detected that the preceding vehicle has moved in the vehicle transverse direction, the trajectory tracking control unit does not cause the driver's own vehicle to follow the trajectory of the preceding vehicle, in a case it is determined that the preceding vehicle recognized by the preceding vehicle recognizing unit has overlapped with the lane marking imaginary line. 4 . The driving support device according to claim 3 , wherein the imaginary line setting unit predicts and sets the lane marking imaginary line based on the lane marking recognized by the lane marking recognizing unit. 5 . The driving support device according to claim 2 , further comprising: an imaginary line setting unit configured to, in a case that the predetermined condition is satisfied, set a lane marking imaginary line to the vehicle transverse direction in which the preceding vehicle moves; wherein, even if the predetermined condition is satisfied after the preceding vehicle recognizing unit has detected that the preceding vehicle has moved in the vehicle transverse direction, the trajectory tracking control unit does not cause the driver's own vehicle to follow the trajectory of the preceding vehicle, in a case it is determined that the preceding vehicle recognized by the preceding vehicle recognizing unit has overlapped with the lane marking imaginary line. 6 . The driving support device according to claim 5 , wherein the imaginary line setting unit predicts and sets the lane marking imaginary line based on the lane marking recognized by the lane marking recognizing unit.
