Stop control device
First Claim
1. A stop control device for controlling stop of a vehicle, comprising:
- a stop intention detector that detects or estimates a stop intention made through an operation other than a braking operation;
an unable-to-drive state detector that detects or estimates an unable-to-drive state of a driver of the vehicle, the unable-to-drive state being a state of the driver who is not able to drive the vehicle; and
an automatic stop controller that performs automatic stop control of the vehicle by using a brake system,wherein the automatic stop controller;
performs the automatic stop control by decelerating the vehicle by using a first deceleration in response to (i) detection or estimation of the stop intention by the stop intention detector or (ii) detection or estimation of the unable-to-drive state by the unable-to-drive state detector while the vehicle is traveling, andperforms the automatic stop control by decelerating the vehicle by using a second deceleration larger than the first deceleration in response to (i) the detection or estimation of the stop intention by the stop intention detector and (ii) the detection or estimation of the unable-to-drive state by the unable-to-drive state detector.

Abstract
An automatic stop controller (including a deceleration setting unit and a deceleration instruction unit) performs automatic stop control of a vehicle by using a first deceleration in response to (i) the detection or estimation of a stop intention by a stop intention detector or (ii) the detection or estimation of an unable-to-drive state of the driver of the vehicle by an unable-to-drive state detector while the vehicle is traveling. The automatic stop controller performs automatic stop control of the vehicle by using a second deceleration larger than the first deceleration in response to (i) the detection or estimation of the stop intention by the stop intention detector and (ii) the detection or estimation of the unable-to-drive state of the driver by the unable-to-drive state detector.

8. A stop control method for controlling stop of a vehicle, comprising steps of:
-
detecting or estimating a stop intention made through an operation other than a braking operation; detecting or estimating an unable-to-drive state of a driver of the vehicle, the unable-to-drive state being a state of the driver who is not able to drive the vehicle; and performing, by using a computer, automatic stop control of the vehicle by using a brake system, wherein the step of performing; performs the automatic stop control by decelerating the vehicle by using a first deceleration in response to (i) detecting or estimating the stop intention or (ii) detecting or estimating the unable-to-drive state, and performs the automatic stop control by decelerating the vehicle by using a second deceleration larger than the first deceleration in response to (i) detecting or estimating the stop intention and (ii) detecting or estimating the unable-to-drive state.
