Driving assist system for vehicle
First Claim
1. A vehicle driving assist system comprising:
- a condition recognition device that detects and a traveling environment that is external to and around a subject vehicle;
a reactive force application device that applies a reactive force, in conformance to the traveling environment, to a driver of the subject vehicle via an operation device through which a travel command for operating the subject vehicle is issued by the driver;
a condition change detection device that detects condition changes occurring in the traveling environment; and
a reactive force variation device that adjusts the reactive force applied by the reactive force application device in a period of time, when the condition change detection device detects a condition change in the traveling environment that is discontinuous, the discontinuous condition change being an introduction of an obstacle into the traveling environment.

Abstract
A vehicle driving assist system comprises a condition recognition device that detects a vehicle condition and a traveling environment around a subject vehicle; a reactive force application device that applies a reactive force, in conformance to the vehicle condition and the travelling environment around the subject vehicle, to an operation device; a condition change detection device that detects a condition change occurring around the subject vehicle; and a reactive force variation device that adjusts the reactive force applied by the reactive force application device in a period of time, when the condition change detection device detects that a condition around the subject vehicle has changed discontinuously.

21. A vehicle driving assist system comprising:
-
a condition recognition means for detecting a traveling environment that is external to and around a subject vehicle; a reactive force application means for applying a reactive force in conformance to the traveling environment to a driver of the subject vehicle via an operation means for issuing a travel command to operate the subject vehicle by the driver; a condition change detection means for detecting condition changes occurring in the traveling environment detected by the condition recognition means; and a reactive force variation means for adjusting the reactive force applied by the reactive force application means for a period of time, when the condition change detection means detects a condition change in the traveling environment that is discontinuous, the discontinuous change being an introduction of an obstacle into the traveling environment. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A vehicle driving assist system comprising:
-
a condition recognition device that detects a traveling environment that is external to and around a subject vehicle; a reactive force application device that applies a reactive force, in conformance to the traveling environment, to a driver of the subject vehicle via an operation device through which a travel command for controlling an operation of the subject vehicle is issued by the driver; a condition change detection device that detects a condition change occurring in the traveling environment; and a reactive force variation device that adjusts the reactive force applied by the reactive force application device in a period of time, so as to notify a driver that detection by the condition recognition device has begun or that a detection target by the condition recognition device has changed, when the condition change detection device detects a condition change in the traveling environment that is discontinuous, the discontinuous condition change being an introduction of an obstacle into the traveling environment, wherein when the condition change in the traveling environment is continuous, the reactive force application device applies a target reactive force to the operation device, in accordance with the traveling environment, and (b) when the condition change in the environment is discontinuous, the reactive force application device applies an additional reactive force, which is determined by the reactive force variation device, for notifying the driver of a discontinuous change in the traveling environment to the operation device for a short period of time, in addition to the target reactive force. - View Dependent Claims (25)
