Abstract
There is provided a running support system for a vehicle, which supports running of a vehicle by using a radar and image recognition means as obstacle detecting means, and in which appropriate support control based on a result of detection performed by each control means is set. A result of obstacle detection performed by a millimeter wave radar (21) is checked against a result of obstacle detection performed by image recognition means (22). Then, a starting condition for the running support control is changed depending on whether an obstacle has been detected by both the millimeter wave radar (21) and the image recognition means (22), or an obstacle has been detected by only one of the millimeter wave radar (21) and the image recognition means (22). Thus, the control support is performed based on an inattentive condition of a driver.

16. A running support system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a first object detecting portion that detects an object near a vehicle using a radar;
a second object detecting portion that detects an object near the vehicle by performing image recognition based on an obtained image of an area near the vehicle; and
a running support portion that supports running of the vehicle, wherein a control condition for running support control performed by the running support portion is changed on the basis of an evaluation whether the same object has been detected by (i) only the first object detecting portion, (ii) only the second object detecting portion, or (iii) both the first object detecting portion and the second object detecting portion. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A running support system for a vehicle, comprising:
a control portion that performs one of follow-up running control and adaptive cruise control, and obstacle alarm control, and notification of an operation limit of one of the follow-up running control and the adaptive cruise control before an obstacle alarm is generated by the obstacle alarm control.

32. A running support system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
first object detecting means for detecting an object near a vehicle using a radar;
second object detecting means for detecting an object near the vehicle by performing image recognition based on an obtained image of an area near the vehicle; and
running support means for supporting running of the vehicle, wherein a control condition for running support control performed by the running support means is changed on the basis of an evaluation whether the same object has been detected by (i) only the first object detecting means, (ii) only the second object detecting means, or (iii) both the first object detecting means and the second object detecting means.
