VEHICLE-MOUNTED APPARATUS FOR SELECTING PRECEDING VEHICLE POSITIONED IN THE TRAVEL PATH OF THE HOST VEHICLE OF THE APPARATUS

摘要

The vehicle equipment apparatus detects the relative position of another vehicle that is running in front of the host vehicle of the device and derives a probability value for each of the other vehicles that the vehicle is located on the same route as the host vehicle. A signal representing the rate of the host vehicle is used to derive the probabilities and is filtered to distribute a range of high frequency signal components. The excluded range is extended when it is determined that the rate is suddenly exceeding and varying.
