Vehicle braking device and vehicle braking method
First Claim
1. A vehicle braking device, comprising:
- a recognizing unit for recognizing a target object based on information from a preview sensor that detects a forward condition of a vehicle and outputting position information of the target object thus recognized as preview information;
an information acquiring unit for specifying a target object located on a road based on information from an infrastructure equipped on the road and outputting position information of the target object thus specified as infrastructure information;
a controlling unit for automatically braking the vehicle; and
an instructing unit for authorizing the controlling unit to automatically brake the vehicle under the condition that matching between a position of the target object based on the preview information and a position of the target object based on the infrastructure information is established.

Abstract
Vehicle braking is precisely performed matching with a condition. A recognizing unit 5 recognizes a target object based on information from a preview sensor 2 for detecting a forward condition of a vehicle, and outputs positional information of the target object thus recognized as preview information. An information acquiring unit 6 specifies a target object located on a road based on information from an infrastructure 30 equipped on a road, and outputs position information of the target object thus specified as infrastructure information. If an instructing unit 7authorizes the automatic braking of the vehicle carried out by the controlling unit 8 under the condition that the matching between a position of the target object based on the preview information and a position of the target object based on the infrastructure information is established, the controlling unit 8 carries out the automatic braking of the vehicle.

9. A vehicle braking method, comprising:
-
a first step of recognizing a target object based on information from a preview sensor that detects a forward condition of a vehicle, and outputting position information of the target object thus recognized as preview information;
a second step of specifying a target object located on a road based on information from an infrastructure equipped on the road, and outputting position information of the target object thus specified as infrastructure information;
a third step of automatically braking the vehicle; and
a fourth step of authorizing the automatic braking of the vehicle under the condition that matching between a position of the target object based on the preview information and a position of the target object based on the infrastructure information is established. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
