Anti-collision support system and method for automotive vehicle
First Claim
1. An anti-collision support system for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicular stop position determining section that determines a stop position for the vehicle to be stopped from a relative distance of the vehicle to a stop target object which provides a cause of an application of a brake to the vehicle;
a deceleration start position determining section that determines a deceleration start position at which the vehicle is to start a vehicular deceleration for the vehicle to be stopped at the stop position from a vehicular velocity of the vehicle and the relative distance, the deceleration start position determining section comprising at least a deceleration distance calculating section that calculates a deceleration distance which is a vehicular running distance required for the vehicle to be decelerated and a deceleration magnitude adjustment manipulation distance calculating section that calculates a deceleration magnitude adjustment manipulation distance which is another vehicular running distance required to carry out a manipulation of an adjustment for a magnitude of the vehicular deceleration which would ordinarily be carried out at a time immediately before the vehicle is stopped; and
an informing section enabled to inform a vehicular occupant of an approach of the vehicle to the stop target object while the relative distance is shorter than a distance of the vehicle to the deceleration start position and the stop target object.

Abstract
In anti-collision support method and apparatus for an automotive vehicle, a deceleration magnitude adjustment manipulation distance which is another vehicular running distance required to carry out a manipulation of an adjustment for a magnitude of the vehicular deceleration which would ordinarily be carried out at a time immediately before the vehicle is stopped is calculated from the vehicular velocity and the relative distance, a vehicular occupant is informed of an approach of the vehicle to the stop target object while the relative distance is shorter than a distance of the vehicle to a deceleration start position which is determined with the calculated deceleration magnitude adjustment manipulation distance taken into consideration and is shorter than a distance of the vehicle to the stop target object.
