Collision avoidance device for vehicle, collision avoidance method, and non-transitory storage medium storing program
First Claim
1. A collision avoidance device for a vehicle, the collision avoidance device comprising:
- a driver action detection device configured to detect an action of a driver of the vehicle; and
an electronic control unit configured to determine whether to provide a notification to a driver of a following vehicle based on the action of the driver of the vehicle, detected by the driver action detection device, the notification being a notification about a sign of a behavior of the vehicle, which possibly causes a rear-end collision of the following vehicle,the electronic control unit being configured to provide the notification to the driver of the following vehicle based on a result determined by the electronic control unit,wherein the electronic control unit is configured to determine whether to provide the notification to the driver of the following vehicle based on an extent to which the vehicle is traveling at a speed lower than a predetermined reference speed, andwherein the predetermined reference speed is defined in advance based on a standard deviation of a difference between a reference vehicle speed and a vehicle speed of the vehicle for each of a plurality of roads through which the vehicle has passed.

Abstract
A collision avoidance device for a vehicle includes a driver action detection device configured to detect an action of a driver of the vehicle and an electronic control unit configured to determine whether to provide a notification to a driver of a following vehicle based on the action of the driver of the vehicle, detected by the driver action detection device. The notification is a notification about a sign of a behavior of the vehicle, which possibly causes a rear-end collision of the following vehicle. The electronic control unit is configured to provide the notification to the driver of the following vehicle based on a result determined by the electronic control unit.

11. A collision avoidance method that is executed by a collision avoidance device,
the collision avoidance device including a driver action detection device and an electronic control unit, the collision avoidance method comprising: -
a driver action detection step of detecting, by the driver action detection device, an action of a driver of a vehicle; a determination step of determining, by the electronic control unit, whether to provide a notification about a sign of a behavior of the vehicle, which possibly causes a rear-end collision of a following vehicle, to a driver of the following vehicle based on the action of the driver of the vehicle, detected in the driver action detection step; and a notification step of providing, by the electronic control unit, the notification to the driver of the following vehicle based on a result determined in the determination step, wherein the electronic control unit is configured to determine whether to provide the notification to the driver of the following vehicle based on an extent to which the vehicle is traveling at a speed lower than a predetermined reference speed, and wherein the predetermined reference speed is defined in advance based on a standard deviation of a difference between a reference vehicle speed and a vehicle speed of the vehicle for each of a plurality of roads through which the vehicle has passed.

12. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program, wherein
the program being executed by a computer mounted on a vehicle to implement a determination step and a notification step, the determination step being a step of determining whether to provide a notification about a sign of a behavior of the vehicle, which possibly causes a rear-end collision of a following vehicle, to a driver of the following vehicle based on the action of the driver of the vehicle, detected by a driver action detection device mounted on the vehicle, and the notification step being a step of providing the notification to the driver of the following vehicle based on a result determined in the determination step, wherein the electronic control unit is configured to determine whether to provide the notification to the driver of the following vehicle based on an extent to which the vehicle is traveling at a speed lower than a predetermined reference speed, and wherein the predetermined reference speed is defined in advance based on a standard deviation of a difference between a reference vehicle speed and a vehicle speed of the vehicle for each of a plurality of roads through which the vehicle has passed.
