Embodiment
" first embodiment "
Fig. 1 is the system diagram of structure of the vehicle steering operation assisting device 1 of expression first embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 2 is the structural drawing that is equipped with the vehicle of vehicle steering operation assisting device 1.
The structure of vehicle steering operation assisting device 1 at first, is described.Laser radar 10 is installed in vehicle front grill part or the bumper portion etc., to horizontal direction irradiation infrared light pulse, scans the front region of this vehicle.Laser radar 10 instrumentations are positioned at the reflection wave of infrared light pulse of a plurality of reverberations (normally earlier driving rear end) reflection in the place ahead, detect vehicle headway and relative velocity with preceding driving from the time of arrival of reflection wave.Detected vehicle headway and relative velocity are output to controller 50.Positive with respect to this vehicle by the front region of laser radar 10 scannings is that the objects in front that exists in this scope is detected about ± 6 degree.
The place ahead camera 20 is mounted in the small ccd camera on front window top or CMOS camera etc., and the road ahead situation is come out as image detection, outputs to controller 50.The surveyed area of the place ahead camera 20 with respect to the center line of vehicle fore-and-aft direction have in the horizontal direction ± 30 the degree about, the road ahead landscape that comprises in this zone is ingested as image.
Rotating speed and the revolution of the variator outgoing side speed of a motor vehicle that detect this vehicle of vehicle speed sensor 30 by the instrumentation wheel outputs to controller 50 with detected vehicle speed.Rotation angle sensor 35 is mounted near the angular transducer bearing circle 36 or the steering column (not shown) etc., and the rotation of steering axle is detected as the steering angle, outputs to controller 50.
Eyespot pick-up unit 37 comprises near the small-sized infrared camera that for example is arranged on the bearing circle 36, for calculating the height (being called eyepoint height later on) the eyes from ground to the driver who takes a seat, takes driver's face-image.Controller 50 is according to calculating driver's eyepoint height from the signal of eyespot pick-up unit 37.In addition, detect fore-and-aft direction position, the adjuster position of seat belt, the seat belt amount of batching of driver's seat, infer eyepoint height according to body weight/height (physique) of the driver who infers from these detected values by eyespot pick-up unit 37.
Controller 50 is from this vehicle speed of vehicle speed sensor 30 inputs, the range information of laser radar 10 inputs and the image information of 20 detected vehicle fronts of the place ahead camera, discern the barrier situation of this vehicle periphery, for example the transport condition with respect to barrier of the relative distance of this vehicle and each barrier and relative velocity etc.In addition, controller 50 is discerned the barrier situation of this vehicle front by the photographic images of the place ahead camera 20 being implemented the Flame Image Process of regulation.Controller 50 is calculated the potential risk of this vehicle of expression with respect to the degree of closeness of each barrier according to the barrier situation.
The operation counter-force that controller 50 bases produce in driver behavior equipment when controlling this vehicle of driver's driver behavior with respect to the potential risk of barrier.Here, as driver behavior equipment, use accelerator pedal 72.In addition, also will convey to the driver as visual information, show control, so that driver's driver behavior is directed on the suitable direction according to the state of a control that the operation counter-force of potential risk is controlled.The control details of controller 50 illustrates in the back.
Accelerator pedal counter-force control device 70 is according to the instruction that comes self-controller 50, the control moment of torsion that servo motor unit 71 in the link mechanism of accelerator pedal 72 produces of packing into.Servo motor unit 71 is according to the counter-force that the command value control from accelerator pedal counter-force control device 70 produces, the operation counter-force (legpower) that produces in the time of can controlling the driver arbitrarily and operate accelerator pedal 72.Do not operate common spring load characteristic under the situation of counter-force control and for example can set elastic force for, increase the operation counter-force pro rata with the amount of entering into of accelerator pedal 72 by torsion spring.
Display control unit 80 is created on the image that shows on the display device 81 according to the instruction that comes self-controller 50.Display device 81 is head-up display (HUD:Head UpDisplay), and front glass integral body is constituted the image projection face.HUD81 show with from the corresponding image of the signal of display control unit 80, under the state that the driver eyes to the front, can provide the information of potential risk etc. to the driver.
Warning device 90 comprises loudspeaker, produces alarm sound according to the instruction that comes self-controller 50, arouses driver's attention.
Then use Fig. 3 to describe the action of the vehicle steering operation assisting device 1 of first embodiment of the present invention in detail.Fig. 3 is the process flow diagram that the driver behavior of expression controller 50 is assisted the processing procedure of control program.This contents processing is carried out every fixed intervals (for example 50msec) continuously.
At first, judge whether to carry out the operation counter-force control corresponding among the step S1000 with potential risk.Specifically, by the barrier of laser radar 10 these vehicle fronts of detection, judge whether to carrying out the state of the operation counter-force control corresponding with potential risk RP.Step S1000 is judged as and enters step S1010 when sure, is judged as to finish this processing when negating.
Among the step S1010, read in the environmental information of this vehicle periphery.Here, environmental information is the information about the travel conditions of this vehicle that comprises the barrier situation of this vehicle front.Therefore, read in laser radar 10 detected to the place ahead barrier vehicle headway D and relative velocity Vr and the place ahead barrier have direction θ 1, by the speed of operation V of 30 detected vehicles of vehicle speed sensor.In addition, also read in the rotation angle sensor 35 detected steering angle S that turn to.
Among the step S1011, obtain Driver Information.Specifically, according to signal, calculate driver's eyepoint height he from eyespot pick-up unit 37.In addition, calculate the fore-and-aft direction of eyes (eyespot) apart from dc and the fore-and-aft direction distances dd from HUD81 to the eyespot according to the seat position of driver's seat from this vehicle front (forefront) to the driver.Fore-and-aft direction also can be redefined for setting apart from dc, dd.
Among the step S1020, calculate the potential risk RP of this vehicle with respect to the place ahead barrier.At first, calculate the surplus time T TC and the workshop time T HW of this vehicle and the place ahead barrier.
Surplus time T TC is that this current vehicle of expression is with respect to the place ahead barrier, as the physical quantity of first degree of closeness of driving a vehicle.Surplus time T TC is illustrated under the situation that current travel conditions continues, promptly at this vehicle speed V, under driving vehicle velocity V f and relative vehicle velocity V r are fixing earlier the situation, the value that vehicle headway D vanishing after what seconds, this vehicle and elder generation drive a vehicle and contact.Relative velocity Vr=V-Vf.Surplus time T TC is obtained by following formula (1).
TTC=D/Vr ...........(1)
The value of surplus time T TC is more little, and is urgent more with contacting of driving earlier, means with the degree of closeness of driving earlier big.During for example near driving earlier, surplus time T TC be below 4 seconds before, nearly all driver knows the action that reduces speed now.
Workshop time T HW is that this vehicle of expression is followed when car travels in advance, and the speed of a motor vehicle of the driving earlier in the future of supposing changes the influence degree to surplus time T TC, i.e. the physical quantity of the influence degree when the relative vehicle velocity V r of expression supposition changes.Workshop time T HW is obtained by following formula (2).
THW=D/V ...........(2)
Workshop time T HW obtains vehicle headway D divided by this vehicle speed V, represent that this vehicle arrives the time of driving current location earlier.Time T HW is big more in this workshop, and the relative surrounding environment change of predicted impact degree is more little.That is, under the big situation of workshop time T HW, even if in the future earlier the speed of a motor vehicle of driving changed, the degree of closeness with driving is earlier produced big influence hardly, surplus time T TC shows as basic not big the variation.This vehicle is followed under the situation of first driving, the driving vehicle velocity V f of this vehicle speed V=elder generation, and also can using in advance in the formula (2), alternative this vehicle speed V of vehicle velocity V f calculates workshop time T HW.
Then, use surplus time T TC and workshop time T HW to calculate potential risk RP from following formula (3).
RP=A/THW+B/TTC .........(3)
A, B are the constants that the inverse to the inverse of workshop time T HW and surplus time T TC carries out suitable weighting respectively, preestablish for example A=1, B=8 (A<B) of suitable value.
Potential risk is meant " potential danger/risk ", here, approaching between the barrier of especially representing to exist along with this vehicle and this vehicle periphery, the size of risk is big more.Therefore, it is how approaching that potential risk is that expression this vehicle and barrier have, i.e. the physical quantity of the approaching degree (degree of closeness) of this vehicle and barrier.
Among the step S1030, judge the relative transport condition of this vehicle and the place ahead barrier.Use flowchart text the processing here of Fig. 4.
The steering angle S that reads in according to step S1010 among the step S1100 infers whether this vehicle carries out the track change.For example detect than this vehicle and maintain under the situation of the big steering angle S of standard steering angular region under the situation of travelling in the track, be judged as this vehicle just at change lane.Perhaps also can infer the track change of this vehicle according to driver's indicator (ゥ ィ Application カ) operation, by the track change intention deduction that the whole bag of tricks carries out.
Be judged as among the step S1100 when not carrying out the track change, enter step S1105, judge whether laser radar 10 or the place ahead camera 20 have detected the barrier of this vehicle front, for example driving earlier.Detect under the situation of driving earlier, enter step S1110, judge whether in cycle last time, also to have detected first driving., be judged as this vehicle and following first driving (scenario A) to entering step S1115 under the situation of first driving from cycle detection last time.
Be judged as among the step S1100 when carrying out the track change, enter step S1120, judge whether to have detected first driving.Do not detect under the situation of driving earlier, enter step S1125.In this case, shown in Fig. 5 (a), be judged as because this vehicle carries out the track change and do not detect first driving.The relative transport condition of this moment is made as scenario B.On the other hand, step S1120 is judged as under the situation that detects driving earlier, enters step S1130.In this case, shown in Fig. 5 (c), be judged as owing to this vehicle to change lane detects first driving.The relative transport condition of this moment is made as scene D.
Be not judged as among the step S1105 when detecting driving earlier and enter step S1132, judge whether in cycle last time, not detect first driving yet.Detect in cycle last time under the situation of driving a vehicle earlier and enter step S1135.In this case, shown in Fig. 5 (b), be judged as owing to drive a vehicle change lane earlier and do not detect first driving.The relative transport condition of this moment is made as scene C.On the other hand, be not judged as among the step S1132 when cycle last time detects driving earlier and enter step S1137, be judged as and do not detect first driving (scene F).
Be judged as among the step S1110 and enter step S1140 when not detecting driving earlier in cycle last time.In this case, shown in Fig. 5 (d), be judged as owing to the change lane of driving a vehicle earlier detects first driving.The relative transport condition of this moment is made as scene E.In addition, scene E also comprises this vehicle near the driving earlier that is present in a distant place and begin detected situation.
Like this, enter step S1040 after judging the relative transport condition of this vehicle and driving earlier among the step S1030.Calculate the reference point of the image that on HUD81, shows among the step S1040.Image when the (a) and (b) of Fig. 6 are represented the relation of this vehicle and driving earlier and watched driving earlier by HUD81.
The eyespot of representing the driver in Fig. 6 (b) with P1, the last afterbody center of driving is earlier represented with P2 in promptly corresponding with direction of visual lines position.Here, the last afterbody center P2 with driving earlier is a reference point.Position of eye point P1 sets according to driver center and eyepoint height he.HUD81 is last show with reference point P2 be the center circle with reference to frame 82.Become the barrier of object when potential risk RP is calculated in expression with reference to frame 82, watch from the driver, be presented at car position overlapped in advance on.Also show timer 83 on the HUD81, this point illustrates in the back.
Reference point P2 is represented with relative lateral attitude (reference point lateral attitude) Δ RP2 by the relative height with respect to position of eye point P1 on the HUD81 (reference point height) Δ RP1.The calculation method of reference point height Δ RP1 at first, is described.The relation of this vehicle shown in the (a) and (b) of Fig. 7 and driving earlier and the figure that calculates notion of reference point height Δ RP1.
To establish eyepoint height in Fig. 7 (b) be he, the distance from the eyespot to HUD81 is dd, be d1 from eyespot to the aftermost distance of driving earlier, be h1 to the height at first driving center.Aftermost being set at apart from d1 is added to the value that laser radar 10 detected vehicle headway D obtain with the forefront from eyespot to this vehicle apart from dc from eyespot to driving earlier.Overall height degree h1 is set at half of the overall height of driving a vehicle earlier in advance.Reference point height Δ RP1 on the HUD81 can calculate from following formula (4).
ΔRP1=dd(he-h1)/d1 .............(4)
The calculation method of reference point lateral attitude Δ RP2 then is described.The relation of this vehicle shown in the (a) and (b) of Fig. 8 and driving earlier and the figure that calculates notion of reference point lateral attitude Δ RP2.Establish in Fig. 8 (b) the detected driving earlier of laser radar 10 with respect to this vehicle exist direction (angle) for θ 1, from this vehicle fore-and-aft direction center (vehicle center) to eyespot the distance at (driver center) be lc, from eyespot to the aftermost distance of driving earlier for (dc+dcos θ 1), be (dsin θ 1-lc) from eyespot to the distance of the transverse center position of driving earlier.Reference point lateral attitude Δ RP2 on the HUD81 can calculate from following formula (5).
ΔRP2=dd{(d·sinθ1-lc)/(d·cosθ1)} .............(5)
The reference point of calculating among that then judge according to step S1030 in step S1050 and relative transport condition driving earlier and the step S1040 carries out the demonstration control of HUD81.Use flowchart text the processing here of Fig. 9.
At first, among the step S1052, whether be judged as scenario A (following) among the determining step S1030.Be judged as under the situation of scenario A and enter step S1053, judge whether stable with respect to the follow running state of driving earlier.Whether the workshop time T HW that calculates among the determining step S1020 specifically, continues in specialized range at the appointed time.Workshop time T HW for example in 2 ± 0.25 seconds scope, continue under the situation more than 5 seconds, being judged as is stable follow running state, enter step S1054, in step S1054, after upwards counting continues the stipulated time from the workshop time T HW in the specialized range, promptly carry out elapsed time (following the time) after the affirmative determination at first from step S1053.
Step S1052 or step S1053 are judged as under the negative situation, enter step S1055, will reset the time of following.
Among the step S1056 then, according to potential risk RP, with the relative transport condition of driving earlier and reference point locations etc., determine the show state of display image on HUD81 to show control and treatment.Expression potential risk RP calculates object, i.e. the object barrier of counter-force control be that the center shows with reference to frame 82 with the reference point P2 that step S1040 calculates.With reference to the size of the profile of frame 82 as shown in figure 10, it is big more to set potential risk RP for, and it is big more.Potential risk RP, makes with reference to frame 82 flickers to arouse driver's attention when for example RP=2 is above at setting.
In addition, in the size that changes with reference to frame 82, according to the Show Color of potential risk RP change with reference to frame 82.Specifically, as shown in figure 11,, Show Color slowly is changed to green, blueness, yellow, redness along with the change of potential risk RP is big.Here, set Show Color for and slowly change to redness, potential risk RP is divided into a plurality of zones, for distributing Show Color respectively in each zone but also can set for from green.
Preestablish into a plurality of patterns such as polygon shown in (c) of the quadrilateral shown in (b) of the circle shown in (a) of Figure 12, Figure 12 and Figure 12 with reference to frame 82.Certainly can set shapes beyond these with reference to frame 82.And, each shape of switching when driving a vehicle earlier with reference to frame 82 of changing.Can set the visuality that under overlapping situation about being shown in the driving earlier on the HUD81, does not hinder vehicle front for reference to the rugosity of frame 82.
Brightness with reference to frame 82 is set with the relative transport condition of driving earlier according to this vehicle.Figure 13 (a)~(e) expression from scenario A to scene E with reference to the brightness of frame 82 over time.This vehicle is followed under the situation of the scenario A of driving a vehicle earlier, and shown in Figure 13 (a), the brightness of establishing with reference to frame 82 is fixing.Under the situation of scenario B, shown in Figure 13 (b), set for and begin brightness from the time t1 that is judged as scenario B and slowly be reduced to zero.Under the situation of scene C, shown in Figure 13 (c), set for and begin brightness from the time t2 that is judged as scene C and slowly be reduced to zero.Setting the brightness pace of change of this moment for compares slowlyer with the situation of scenario B and changes.
Under the situation of scene D, shown in Figure 13 (d), be judged as the time t3 of scene D, with reference to frame 82, making it flash of light with lit at maximum brightness.Moment with lit at maximum brightness with reference to frame 82 after, brightness is reduced to setting, continue to light.Under the situation of scene E, shown in Figure 13 (e), be judged as the time t4 of scene E, with lit at maximum brightness with reference to frame 82, temporarily reduce brightness after, once more brightness is made as maximum.That is, glisten and be reduced to setting to make it secondary, continue to light to brightness with reference to frame 82 from lighting with reference to frame 82.In addition, the high-high brightness of lighting when making it to glisten with reference to frame 82 will suitably be set, not hinder driver's driver behavior.
Decision is with reference to the display format of frame 82, to display control unit 80 output signals, to show with reference to frame 82 on HUD81 by size, color and the brightness set like this.Follow under the situation of the first scenario A of driving being judged as this vehicle, counted under the situation of the time of following, shown in Fig. 6 (b), when showing with reference to frame 82, the time of will following shows as timer 83.Preferably timer 83 is presented at the below of HUD81, not hinder the visuality of vehicle front.Do not count under the situation of the time of following, show random number, extinguish timer 83.
Among the step S1060 then, to alarm device 90 output orders, sound gives the alarm.Specifically, image field scape D and scene E are such, newly detect at laser radar 10 or the place ahead camera 20 under the situation of driving earlier, for example send " bang " such report sound, begin to detect first driving to driver's notice.Potential risk RP for example under the situation that RP=2 is high, sends " Pi Pi " such report sound, to arouse driver's attention than setting.
Among the step S1070,, be controlled at the operation counter-force that produces in the accelerator pedal 72 according to the potential risk RP that step S1020 calculates.Therefore, according to corresponding diagram shown in Figure 14, calculate the accelerator pedal counter-force control command value FA corresponding with potential risk RP.As shown in figure 14, it is big than setting Rpmax that accelerator pedal counter-force control command value FA sets potential risk RP for, and its value is big more.When potential risk RP was bigger than setting Rpmax, accelerator pedal counter-force control command value FA set the maximal value FAmax of regulation for.

" the 4th embodiment "
The following describes the vehicle steering operation assisting device of four embodiment of the invention.Figure 20 is the system diagram of expression according to the structure of the vehicle steering operation assisting device of the 4th embodiment.Has position mark same-sign among Figure 20 with the first embodiment identical function illustrated in figures 1 and 2.The difference of the main here explanation and first embodiment.
Vehicle steering operation assisting device 2 comprises laser radar 10, the place ahead camera 20, vehicle speed sensor 30, rotation angle sensor 35, eyespot pick-up unit 37, accelerator pedal counter-force control device 70, display control unit 80, warning device 90 and controller 100.In addition, as described later,, also design selector switch 95 by driver's operation for selecting determining method with reference to the demonstration size of frame (mark, sign) 82.
Controller 100 bases are with respect to the potential risk of barrier, the operation counter-force that produces in driver behavior equipment when controlling this vehicle of driver's driver behavior.Driver behavior equipment for example is accelerator pedal 72.In addition, the state of a control of the operation counter-force corresponding with potential risk control also conveys to the driver as visual information, carries out driver behavior with the driver and is directed to demonstration control on the suitable direction.Specifically, at show tags on the HUD81 82 it is overlapped on the barrier that becomes the counter-force controlling object.In addition, the size of change mark 82 makes the driver feel identical for the size of the size of potential risk RP and mark 82.
Then use Figure 21 to describe the action of the vehicle steering operation assisting device 2 of the 4th embodiment of the present invention in detail.Figure 21 is the process flow diagram that the driver behavior of expression controller 100 is assisted the processing procedure of control program.This contents processing is carried out every fixed intervals (for example 50msec) continuously.
At first, judge whether to carry out the operation counter-force control corresponding among the step S2000 with potential risk.Specifically, by the barrier of laser radar 10 these vehicle fronts of detection, judge whether to carrying out the state of the operation counter-force control corresponding with potential risk RP.Step S2000 is judged as and enters step S2010 when sure, is judged as to finish this processing when negating.
Among the step S2010, read in the environmental information of this vehicle periphery.Here, environmental information is the information about the travel conditions of this vehicle that comprises the barrier situation of this vehicle front.Therefore, read in laser radar 10 detected to the place ahead barrier vehicle headway D and relative velocity Vr and the place ahead barrier have direction θ 1, by the speed of operation V of 30 detected vehicles of vehicle speed sensor.
Among the step S2011, obtain Driver Information.Specifically, according to signal, calculate driver's eyepoint height he from eyespot pick-up unit 37.In addition, according to the seat position of driver's seat, the fore-and-aft direction of calculating the eyes (eyespot) from this vehicle front (forefront) to the driver is apart from dc and the fore-and-aft direction distances dd from HUD81 to the eyespot.Fore-and-aft direction also can be redefined for setting apart from dc, dd.
Among the step S2020, calculate the potential risk RP of this vehicle with respect to the place ahead barrier.Use surplus time T TC and workshop time T HW to calculate potential risk RP from above-mentioned formula (3).Calculate the upward reference point P2 of the image of demonstration of HUD81 among the step S2030.The calculation method of reference point P2 identical with the processing of the step S1040 of the process flow diagram of Fig. 3 (with reference to (b) of (a)~Fig. 8 of figure 6).
Among the step S2040 then, the potential risk RP that calculates according to step S2020 calculates the size of mark 82.Mark 82 is display boxes of the ring-type on the overlapping barrier that is presented at controlling object on the HUD81, and the size of mark 82 is illustrated in the size that HUD81 goes up the external diameter of the mark 82 that shows.Here, bidding note 82 is Ms with respect to the size of the reference value RPs of potential risk RP, and mark 82 can be calculated from following formula (6) with respect to the big or small Mc of any potential risk RP (RP=1).
Mc=Ms×(RP1/RPs) ...........(6)
The reference value RPs of potential risk RP for example is set at about 0.8.The benchmark size Ms of mark 82 is set at from driver's eyespot and sees that the visual angle is about 3 degree.For example, when the distance from the eyespot to HUD81 was 1m, the benchmark of mark 82 size Ms was about 5cm.Thus, when potential risk RP increased with respect to reference value RPs, the size of mark 82 also increased with respect to reference value, and on the contrary, when potential risk RP reduced with respect to reference value RPs, the size of mark 82 also reduced.
To display control unit 80 output signals, make that the reference point P2 that calculates with step S2030 is the center among the step S2050, in step S2040, set big or small mark 82 and be presented on the HUD81.
Among the step S2060 then,, produce alarm tone to alarm device 90 output orders.Specifically, newly detect at laser radar 10 or the place ahead camera 20 under the situation of driving earlier, for example send " bang " such report sound and begin to detect first driving to driver's notice.Potential risk RP sends " Pi Pi " such report sound, to arouse driver's attention than under the high situation of setting, for example RP=2.
The potential risk RP that calculates according to step S2020 among the step S2070 is controlled at the operation counter-force that produces in the accelerator pedal 72.Specifically, same with the processing of the step S1070 of the process flow diagram of Fig. 3, according to the corresponding diagram of Figure 14, calculate the accelerator pedal counter-force control command value FA corresponding with potential risk RP, the accelerator pedal counter-force control command value FA that calculates is exported to accelerator pedal counter-force control device 70.Corresponding therewith, as to produce in the command value control accelerator pedal 72 of accelerator pedal counter-force control device 70 according to slave controller 50 inputs operation counter-force.Finish this processing thus.
The demonstration example of expressive notation 82 in the (a) and (b) of Figure 22.Mark 82 is overlapping to be presented on the barrier (driving earlier) of this vehicle front that becomes the counter-force controlling object.The vehicle headway of this vehicle and driving earlier is substantially maintained fixed and follows under the state that first driving, potential risk RP do not change by fixed speed, shown in Figure 22 (a), and overlapping the big or small constant of mark 82 in the driving earlier that be presented at.Afterwards, this vehicle and driving earlier be approaching, when potential risk RP increases, and the size of mark 82 also increases.Thus, can show the dangerous mark 82 that increases such feeling of risk that meets the driver.
Owing to when the barrier that becomes the counter-force controlling object has been switched in the track change of this vehicle and barrier etc., change the display format of mark 82.For example, the driver is discerned easily switched the object barrier by the display shape of mark 82 is changed into quadrilateral or polygon from circle.
Substitute potential risk RP, can use the accelerator pedal counter-force control command value FA that calculates according to potential risk RP, calculate the big or small Mc of mark 82.
Like this, more than in Shuo Ming the 4th embodiment, can be achieved as follows action effect.
(1) vehicle steering operation assisting device 2 detects the barrier that is present in this vehicle front, according to the testing result of barrier, calculates the potential risk RP of this vehicle with respect to barrier.Then, tactile data via driver behavior equipment conveys to the driver during as this vehicle of driver's driver behavior with the potential risk RP that calculates, will convey to the driver as visual information with respect to the potential risk RP as the barrier of the object of sense of touch transmitting control information simultaneously.Specifically, will pass on as visual information with respect to the size of the potential risk RP of object barrier.Thus, can make the driver visually confirm reception and registration state, the understanding of auxiliary tactile data, the control that can understand easily via the tactile data of driver behavior equipment.By the object barrier is passed on as visual information, it is which barrier to be object by the size control of much degree with that the driver can hold the operation counter-force that produces from driver behavior equipment.
(2) controller 100 is when having switched the object barrier, and the display format of the mark of potential risk RP is represented in change.For example change the overlapping shape that is presented at the mark 82 on the object barrier.Thus, the driver can easily discern the barrier that becomes operation counter-force controlling object and is switched.
The variation of the 4th embodiment
As mentioned above, the size of mark 82 also can be selected the calculation method of driver's hobby from a plurality of calculation methods except that calculating according to potential risk RP.
The calculation method of the size of mark 82 has following example.
(a) calculate according to potential risk RP
(b) the vehicle headway D according to this vehicle and barrier calculates
(c) calculate according to projected area
(d) sense is calculated according to the projected area size
(e) calculate according to the control bounce
(f) calculate according to the control content of deceleration control
The driver selects one of above-mentioned (a)~(f) by operational label size selector switch 95.Default setting becomes the size according to (a) potential risk RP selected marker 82.
The following describes each calculation method.Because therefore the above-mentioned situation that has illustrated that (a) calculates according to potential risk RP is omitted here.
(b) calculate according to vehicle headway D
The width of the place ahead barrier when the driver watches and height reduce along with the elongated of the vehicle headway D of this vehicle and barrier, along with vehicle headway D shortens and increases.Therefore, when bidding note 82 was Ms with respect to the size of the reference value Ds of vehicle headway D, (=D1) big or small Mc calculated from following formula (7) mark 82 with respect to any vehicle headway D.
Mc=Ms×(Ds/D1) .........(7)
The reference value Ds of vehicle headway D is set at for example about 20m.The benchmark size Ms of mark 82 is set at and watches the visual angle from driver's eyespot is about 3 degree.Thus, when vehicle headway D increased with respect to reference value Ds, the size of mark 82 reduced with respect to the benchmark size, and when opposite vehicle headway D reduced with respect to reference value Ds, mark 82 increased.
(c) calculate according to projected area
The apparent size of the barrier when the driver watches is along with changing with the distance of this vehicle.Therefore, 2 powers of the projected area of mark 82 and vehicle headway D are inversely proportional to.Thereby when the size of the reference value Ds of mark 82 relative vehicle headway D was Ms, (=D1) big or small Mc calculated from following formula (8) mark 82 with respect to any vehicle headway D.
Mc=Ms×(Ds/D1) 2 .........(8)
The reference value Ds of vehicle headway D is set at for example about 20m.The benchmark size Ms of mark 82 is set at and watches the visual angle from driver's eyespot is about 3 degree.Thus, vehicle headway D with respect to reference value Ds increase, when the apparent area of the place ahead barrier reduces, the size of mark 82 reduces with respect to the benchmark size, and is opposite, vehicle headway D with respect to reference value Ds reduce, when the apparent area of the place ahead barrier increases, mark 82 increases.
(d) calculate according to the size sense of projected area
Report that the relation between the sensation intensity of area and this area of perception can be represented by 0.7 power function according to Stevens (ス テ ィ one Block Application ス) power function law.Be object near or away from the time, the size of 0.7 power of sensation area (physics size) is the size of this object.Therefore, when mark 82 was established Ms with respect to the size of the reference value Ds of vehicle headway D, (=D1) big or small Mc calculated from following formula (9) mark 82 with respect to any vehicle headway D.
Mc={Ms×(Ds/D1) 2} 0.7 .........(9)
The reference value Ds of vehicle headway D is set at for example about 20m.The benchmark of mark 82 size Ms is set at and watches then from driver's eyespot that the visual angle is about 3 degree.Thus, vehicle headway D with respect to reference value Ds increase, when the area of the place ahead barrier reduces, the size of mark 82 reduces with respect to the benchmark size, on the contrary, with respect to reference value Ds vehicle headway D reduce, when the area of the place ahead barrier increases, mark 82 increases.
(e) calculate according to the control bounce
In the respective embodiments described above, according to the potential risk RP of this vehicle with respect to barrier, the operation counter-force that produces in the control driver behavior device.But be not limited to this, can control the braking force that this vehicle produces according to potential risk RP.At this moment, can carry out braking force control according to the potential risk RP that calculates from above-mentioned formula (3) certainly, but can carry out braking force control according to following notion.
Shown in Figure 23 (a), suppose in the place ahead of this vehicle 210 virtual elastic body 220 is set, consider for example first driving collision of this virtual elastic body 220 and the place ahead barrier 230 and be compressed, produce this model of virtual running resistance this vehicle 210.Here, shown in Figure 23 (b), be defined as that virtual elastic body 220 bumps against with driving earlier 230 and elastic force when being compressed for the potential risk RP of the place ahead barrier.The calculation method of potential risk RP uses the flowchart text of Figure 24.
At first, the surplus time T TC that calculates this vehicle among the step S10 and drive a vehicle earlier.Whether the surplus time T TC that determining step S10 calculates among the step S20 is less than threshold value Th.Threshold value Th is the critical value that judges whether to begin the braking force control corresponding with potential risk RP, preestablishes suitable value.Enter step S30 under the situation of TTC<Th, calculate the reference range L of the length of the virtual elastic body 220 of expression.
Reference range L uses the relative distance Vr of threshold value Th and this vehicle and barrier to calculate from following formula (10).
L=Th×Vr ...........(10)
The reference range L that uses step S30 to calculate among the step S40 calculates the potential risk RP of this vehicle with respect to barrier from following formula (11).
RP=K·(L-D) ..........(11)
Here, K is the spring constant of virtual elastic body 220.Thus, the vehicle headway D of this vehicle and barrier is short more, virtual, and elastic body 220 is compressed more, and then potential risk RP is big more.
That step S20 is judged as is negative, during surplus time T TC 〉=Th, it is low with the risk that driving earlier contacts to be judged as this vehicle, enters step S50, is made as potential risk RP=0.
Like this, calculate potential risk RP after, calculate the driving force correcting value that is used to calculate braking force control and the bounce Fc of damping force correcting value.Here, bounce Fc can be thought of as the bounce of the virtual elastic body 220 shown in the (a) and (b) of Figure 23.Therefore, according to relation shown in Figure 25, calculate bounce Fc, make potential risk RP big more, bounce Fc is big more.And calculate the braking force correcting value, make and only driving force is reduced bounce Fc, increase damping force, carry out the braking force control corresponding with potential risk RP.
When carrying out the braking force control of above explanation, can set the size of mark 82 according to the bounce Fc of the controlled quentity controlled variable of controlling as braking force.When bidding note 82 was Ms with respect to the size of the reference value Freps of bounce Fc, (=Frepc) big or small Mc calculated from following formula (12) mark with respect to any bounce Fc.
Mc=Ms×(Frepc/Freps) ......(12)
The reference value Freps of bounce Fc is set in for example about 400N.The benchmark size Ms of mark 82 sets for and watches the visual angle from driver's eyespot is about 3 degree.Thus, when bounce Fc increased with respect to reference value Freps, the size of mark 82 was with respect to the big or small increase of reference value, and on the contrary, when bounce Fc reduced with respect to reference value Freps, mark 82 reduced.
(f) calculate according to the control content of deceleration control
This vehicle produces under the situation of slowing down in above-mentioned braking force control, can set the size of mark 82 according to the retarded velocity that this vehicle produces.The retarded velocity of braking force control can be obtained from above-mentioned bounce Fc.When mark 82 was Ms with respect to the size of the reference value as of retarded velocity, mark can be calculated from following formula (13) with respect to the big or small Mc of any retarded velocity ac.
Mc=Ms×(ac/as) ......(13)
The reference value as of retarded velocity is set in for example about 0.02G.The benchmark size Ms of mark 82 sets for and watches the visual angle from driver's eyespot is about 3 degree.Thus, when retarded velocity increased with respect to reference value as, the size of mark 82 was with respect to the big or small increase of reference value, and on the contrary, when retarded velocity reduced with respect to reference value as, mark 82 reduced.

The following describes the vehicle steering operation assisting device of seventh embodiment of the invention.Figure 33 is the system diagram of structure of the vehicle steering operation assisting device 3 of expression the 7th embodiment.Among Figure 33, mark same-sign in the position that has with the 4th embodiment identical function shown in Figure 20.The difference of main here explanation and the 4th embodiment.
As shown in figure 33, vehicle steering operation assisting device 3 comprises the track change intention apparatus for predicting 97 of the track change intention of inferring the driver.Track change intention apparatus for predicting 97 is for example obtained the operation signal of indicator control lever, infers that the driver carries out the driver behavior intention of track change.Certainly also can constitute track change intention apparatus for predicting 97, make it except that the indicator operation, also can making ins all sorts of ways infers track change intention.
In the 7th embodiment,, show the barrier that can become operation counter-force controlling object according to the direction of this vehicle in advance.As the explanation of above-mentioned the 6th embodiment like that, this vehicle periphery exists under the situation of a plurality of barriers, with sensor to a plurality of barriers in, the object of potential risk RP maximum is as the barrier processing of controlling object.But, other vehicles that exist on the adjacent lane etc., with the little barrier in inclination angle (relative angle) of the relative direction of this vehicle, exist because the track change of this vehicle etc. may become the possibility of controlling object future.Therefore, according to the 7th embodiment, under the situation that detects a plurality of barriers that this vehicle periphery exists,, actually show before becoming controlling object at it for the barrier that may become controlling object in the future.
Use Figure 34 to describe the action of the vehicle steering operation assisting device 3 of the 7th embodiment in detail.Figure 34 is the process flow diagram that the driver behavior of expression controller 150 is assisted the processing procedure of control program.This contents processing is carried out every fixed intervals (for example 50msec) continuously.
At first, judge whether to carry out the operation counter-force control corresponding among the step S5000 with potential risk.Step S5000 is judged as and enters step S5010 when sure, is judged as to finish this processing when negating.Among the step S5010, read in the environmental information of this vehicle periphery.Here, environmental information is the information about the travel conditions of this vehicle that comprises the barrier situation of this vehicle front.Therefore, read in laser radar 10 detected to the place ahead barrier vehicle headway D and relative velocity Vr and the place ahead barrier have direction (relative angle) θ 1, by the speed of operation V of 30 detected vehicles of vehicle speed sensor.In addition, also obtain the runway information in the track of the information of other vehicles that the adjacent vehicle that exists on the adjacent lane etc., this vehicle periphery exist and this vehicle '.In addition, obtain the signal of operating about driver's indicator from track change intention apparatus for predicting 97.
Among the step S5011, obtain Driver Information.Specifically, according to signal, calculate driver's eyepoint height he from eyespot pick-up unit 37.In addition, calculate the fore-and-aft direction of eyes (eyespot) apart from dc and the fore-and-aft direction distances dd from HUD81 to the eyespot according to the seat position of driver's seat from this vehicle front (forefront) to the driver.In addition, fore-and-aft direction also can be redefined for setting apart from dc, dd.
Among the step S5020,, selectedly can become the barrier that vehicle steering operation assisting device 3 is operated the object of counter-force control for the detected a plurality of barriers of step S5010.Specifically, will be with the direction of this vehicle, be that the barrier of relative angle θ 1 in specialized range is made as the barrier that can become controlling object.The barrier that can become controlling object comprises current barrier and the barrier that may become controlling object in the future as operation counter-force controlling object.
Shown in Figure 35 (a), fore-and-aft direction center line with this vehicle is under the situation of benchmark (=0), is made as the barrier that can become controlling object with barrier in specialized range θ 1 of the relative angle θ 1 of this vehicle (1/2 °≤θ of θ 1≤+ θ 1/2 °).Specialized range θ 1 can use this vehicle ' the track lane width W1 and calculate from following formula (17) to the vehicle headway D of driving earlier of this vehicle front.
θ1=2arctanW1/2D .........(17)
Exist in the specialized range θ 1 under the situation of a plurality of barriers, they all are chosen to be the barrier that can become controlling object.But the specialized range θ 1 that the sensing range that detects the laser radar 10 of barrier is represented than formula (17) is wide a lot.
According to signal about the indicator operation from track change intention apparatus for predicting 97, infer under the driver's who wants change lane the situation of intention, specialized range θ 1 is expanded to track change direction.For example, infer when the driver is about to the right the adjacent lane change lane, shown in Figure 35 (b), with specialized range θ 1 to right spread corrections angle θ m.Therefore, infer that the specialized range θ 1 that change under the situation of intention in the track can obtain from following formula (18).
θ1=2arctanW1/2D+θm .........(18)
Shown in Figure 35 (b), by specialized range θ 1 is expanded to right, under the situation that is not having change intention in track shown in (a) of Figure 35, Xuan Ding adjacent vehicle is not chosen to be the barrier that can become controlling object yet.Like this, infer under the situation of track change intention,, can go out the barrier that may become controlling object in the future from wideer angular detection by expansion specialized range θ 1.
Among the step S5030, in the barrier that can become controlling object that step S5020 selectes, having judged whether current is not controlling object, but may become the barrier of controlling object in the future.For example, the controlling object that the adjacent vehicle shown in Figure 35 (b) is current and the not operation counter-force is controlled, but because this vehicle just at change lane, may become controlling object in the future.Under the situation that detects other such vehicles, make affirmative determination and enter step S5090 at step S5030.On the other hand, only detect current controlling object situation etc., do not detect under the situation of the barrier that may become controlling object in the future, enter step S5040.
Among the step S5040, calculate potential risk RP with respect to current controlling object from above-mentioned formula (3).Among the step S5050, calculate the reference point P2 of the image that on HUD81, shows.Processing among the step S1040 in the calculation method of reference point P2 and the process flow diagram of Fig. 3 same (with reference to (b) of (a)~Fig. 8 of figure 6).Among the step S5060 then,, calculate for size as the mark 82 of the barrier of controlling object according to the potential risk RP that step S5040 calculates.The size of mark 82 is calculated from above-mentioned formula (6) according to for example size of the potential risk RP of the barrier of overlapping show tags 82.
Among the step S5090, for current controlling object and may become in the future controlling object barrier the two, calculate potential risk RP.For current controlling object, what for example the place ahead, this vehicle road existed drives a vehicle earlier, uses above-mentioned formula (3) to calculate potential risk RP.For the barrier that may become controlling object in the future, other vehicles that for example on adjacent lane, travel, use poor (relative velocity) and this vehicle speed V of fore-and-aft direction distance (vehicle headway), this vehicle speed V and other vehicle speeds of this vehicle and other vehicles, from calculating potential risk RP with the same formula of calculating of formula (3).
For the barrier that may become controlling object in the future, the value of using the coefficient k o (ko<1) of regulation to obtain to the potential risk RP that calculates is used as potential risk RP.The coefficient k o of regulation considers the size of the influence that the barrier beyond barrier on this track and this track produces this vehicle ' respectively, for example is set at about 0.2.
Among the step S5100,, calculate the reference point P2 of the image that on HUD81, shows for the controlling object of calculating potential risk RP among the step S5090 and the barrier that may become controlling object in the future.The processing of step S1040 in the calculation method of reference point P2 and the process flow diagram of Fig. 3 same (with reference to (b) of (a)~Fig. 8 of figure 6).
Among the step S5110 then,, calculate with respect to the size of controlling object with the mark 82 of the barrier that may become controlling object in the future according to the potential risk RP that step S5090 calculates.According to for example size of the potential risk RP of the barrier of overlapping show tags 82, calculate the size of mark 82 from above-mentioned formula (6).
Among the step S5070,, make mark 82 be presented on the HUD81 to display control unit 80 output signals.Only detect under the situation of current controlling object, the reference point P2 that calculates with step S5050 is the center, and step S5060 has been set big or small mark 82 overlapping being presented on the controlling object.Also detect under the situation of the barrier that may become controlling object in the future, the reference point P2 that calculates with step S5100 is the center, and step S5110 has been set big or small mark 82 overlapping being presented at may be become on the barrier of controlling object in the future.At this moment, overlap the mark 82 on the barrier that may become controlling object in the future, set different Show Colors and shape for the mark 82 on overlapping current controlling object.
Among the step S5080 then, according to the potential risk RP that calculates among step S5040 or the S5090, the operation counter-force that produces in the control accelerator pedal 72 with respect to the barrier of current controlling object.Finish this processing thus.
The demonstration example of Figure 36 expressive notation 82.Figure 36 be illustrated in infer this vehicle to the right under the state of the intention of adjacent lane change lane, detect the example under the situation of the barrier B that may become controlling object on the barrier A of controlling object of this vehicle front and the right side adjacent lane in the future.The barrier A of controlling object goes up the overlapping circular mark 82A that showing.Travel and overlappingly on the barrier B on the adjacent lane of right side showing leg-of-mutton mark 82B.Mark 82B shows with the Show Color different with mark 82A according to potential risk RP.Mark 82A lights always, and mark 82B flicker, expression are the barriers that may become controlling object in the future.
Like this, more than in Shuo Ming the 7th embodiment, except that the effect of above-mentioned the 4th~the 6th embodiment, also can be achieved as follows action effect.
(1) vehicle steering operation assisting device 3 shows in a plurality of barriers that exist with respect to this vehicle periphery, may become the potential risk RP of the barrier of controlling object in the future.Thus, can arouse driver's attention from beginning to report controlling object in the future earlier.In addition, as shown in figure 36, by showing, can make driver's current controlling object and controlling object in the future of understanding easily in the mode that can clearly distinguish expression and may become in the future the mark 82A of the current controlling object of the mark 82B of barrier of controlling object and expression.
" the 8th embodiment "
The following describes the vehicle steering operation assisting device of eighth embodiment of the invention.Figure 37 is the system diagram of structure of the vehicle steering operation assisting device 4 of expression the 8th embodiment.Among Figure 37, mark same-sign in position with the 4th embodiment identical function shown in Figure 20.The difference of main here explanation and the 4th embodiment.
As shown in figure 37, vehicle steering operation assisting device 4 also comprise the driving force that this vehicle of control produces driving-force control apparatus 260, control the gradual braking device 270 of the damping force that this vehicle produces and detect the accelerator pedal stroke sensor 73 of the amount of entering into (operational ton) of accelerator pedal 72.
Driving-force control apparatus 260 is calculated the steering order to engine, controls the driving force that this vehicle produces, so that realize the desired deceleration of slave controller 250 inputs.Specifically, driving-force control apparatus 260 is calculated the driver corresponding with accelerator pedal operation amount SA and is required driving force drv_trq according to relation shown in Figure 38.And,, calculate steering order to engine by requiring driving force drv_trq to deduct the value suitable with desired deceleration from driver.In addition, follow in the follow running control of the control of driving earlier, no matter accelerator pedal operation amount SA how, for the time between the target carriage that realizes setting, carries out the acceleration control of this vehicle at the vehicle headway that keeps almost fixed.
Gradual braking device 270 output brake fluid pressure instructions for realizing the desired deceleration of slave controller 250 inputs, are controlled the damping force that this vehicle produces.Make the clamping device action that is provided with on each wheel according to instruction from gradual braking device 270.
Controller 250 by making this vehicle produce retarded velocity, is passed on potential risk RP and is aroused driver's attention (RP passes on control) simultaneously according to the operation counter-force that produces in the potential risk RP control accelerator pedal 72.In addition, the time is controlled the acceleration-deceleration of this vehicle between the target carriage that controller 250 is set according to the driver, makes this vehicle and the vehicle headway of driving earlier roughly remain fixed range (follow running control).Controller 250 passes on control to make under the situation that produces retarded velocity in this vehicle as RP, shown in Figure 23 (a), calculates the target acceleration-deceleration according to the bounce Fc at the virtual elastic body 220 of this vehicle front setting.
Like this, controller 250 can be carried out a plurality of different control of the retarded velocity of this vehicle of control generation.But, pass under control and all movable state of follow running control at RP, pass on the action of controlling with respect to RP, the action of follow running control is preferential.That is, in fact only carry out follow running control.Under this state, accelerator pedal 72 is entered into when operating, and follow running control becomes with RP passes on control additional override (override) state, is transformed into the only state of RP reception and registration control action.Be follow running control according to driver's driver behavior state and by override.
Like this, pass under control and all movable state of follow running control at RP, when accelerator pedal 72 had been carried out entering into operation, the control of actual act switched to RP from follow running control and passes on control.At this moment,, follow running control passes on the poor of desired deceleration that control newly becomes target down, sometimes big retarded velocity when this vehicle produces than the follow running control action because becoming the desired deceleration of target and RP down.At this moment, no matter whether the driver oneself enters into operation accelerator pedal 72 quickens, and all violates the vehicle movement of driver's intention.
Therefore, in the 8th embodiment, follow running control becomes the override state and is transformed into when only RP passes on the state of control action, makes mark 82 flickers of expression controlling object barrier.Thereby notify driver's override state.
