BRAKE ASSISTANCE DEVICE, CONTROL DEVICE AND BRAKE ASSISTANCE METHOD FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

When there is a possibility of collision between an own vehicle (B0) and an object (B1) existing in a traveling direction of the own vehicle, an avoidance area for avoiding the collision by steering becomes an area where the other becomes Object (B2 to B4) does not exist in the vicinity of the object. When there is no avoidance area, a braking assistance level of the own vehicle is increased to higher than when the avoidance area is present using a braking assistance unit (30, 502) that assists braking of the own vehicle, and braking assistance is performed. The increase in the brake assist level includes at least one of the following: advancing a point in time for the brake assist unit to start the braking assistance of the host vehicle; and increasing an amount of braking assistance to the own vehicle by the braking assistance unit.
