Driving support device for updating braking control settings
A driving support device has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US11999333B2) for a system that includes a braking controller, first and second calculators, and an updater. The first calculator determines a braking control amount for vehicle speed control, while the second calculator calculates a different braking control amount for emergency braking control. The setting standard used by the system is updated based on the relative relationship between estimated and actual braking behaviors. The system aims to enhance braking control efficiency by adjusting the braking control amount based on specific driving scenarios.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a driving support method and a computer-readable storage medium with a program for executing the method. The method involves calculating braking control amounts, updating the setting standard based on estimated and actual braking behaviors, and executing the braking control. The system is designed to operate at different execution frequencies depending on the driving scenario, ensuring optimal braking performance. By incorporating a braking map that considers vehicle speed and deceleration during emergency braking control, the system aims to improve overall driving safety and efficiency. This patented technology showcases advancements in driving support systems that prioritize adaptive and responsive braking control mechanisms for enhanced vehicle safety.
