Vehicle driving operation support apparatus/process and cooperation control
First Claim
1. A vehicle driving operation support apparatus comprising:
- one or more vehicle condition sensing devices configured to sense a vehicle condition of a vehicle;
one or more obstacle condition sensing devices configured to monitor a surrounding condition including an obstacle around the vehicle;
one or more operation input devices configured to allow a driver to input a driving operation to operate the vehicle;
one or more motion regulating devices configured to regulate a movement of the driver; and
a controller configured to;
calculate a risk potential for the obstacle in accordance with the vehicle condition and the surrounding condition,perform a first assist control to restrain disturbance transmitted to the driver in accordance with the risk potential by controlling the one or more motion regulating devices,perform a second assist control to produce a pseudo behavior simulating a vehicle behavior responsive to a driving operation increasing the risk potential, by controlling the one or more motion regulating devices in accordance with the risk potential, andcoordinate the first assist control and the second assist control.

Abstract
A vehicle driving operation support apparatus for a vehicle, includes a sensing section to sense a traveling condition of the vehicle including a surrounding condition inclusive of an obstacle around the vehicle; and a control section to calculate a risk potential for the vehicle in accordance with the traveling condition. The control section performs a support control to support the driver in accordance with the risk potential, performs a first assist control to restrain disturbance (such as vibration from a road) transmitted to the driver in accordance with the risk potential, and performs a second assist control to produce inducement simulating a condition change (such as a vehicle behavior) attributable to an increase of the risk potential, in accordance with the risk potential. The control section further performs a cooperation control to coordinate the first assist control and the second assist control.
