Right turn when traveling support device, turn right at the traveling support method

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress an unnecessary call for attention when a vehicle turns right.;SOLUTION: A right-turn driving support device does not call for a driver's attention if there is no oncoming vehicle advancing straight (determination of S103 becomes "No") when the driver's own vehicle turns right (determination of S102 becomes "Yes"). On the other hand, if there is the oncoming vehicle advancing straight (determination of S103 becomes "Yes"), the device calculates the required time Tr for the driver's own vehicle to finish turning right (S104) and calls for the driver's attention if the required time Tr for the driver's own vehicle to finish turning right is longer than the required time Tg for the oncoming vehicle advancing straight to reach distributed by a DSRC beacon 15 (determination of S105 becomes "Yes"), because there is a risk of interference with the oncoming vehicle advancing straight (S107). If, however, the driver's brake is ON (determination of S106 becomes "No"), the device determines that the driver's own vehicle does not start to turn right and suppresses a call for attention.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
