First Claim
Patent Images
1. A driving assisting system for an own vehicle, comprising:
- a detector configured to detect at least one of an operation status of the own vehicle and a running environment around the own vehicle;
a risk potential calculating device configured to calculate risk potential associated with the own vehicle based on a detection result of the detector;
a driver'"'"'s intention detecting device configured to estimate a driver'"'"'s intention;
an acceleration necessity judging device configured to judge necessity for acceleration; and
a data processor configured to determine a reaction force to be transmitted to a driver from an accelerator pedal based on the calculated risk potential, the estimated driver'"'"'s intention and the necessity for acceleration, in response to the estimated driver'"'"'s intention being a predetermined type of intention.
