An obstacle existing ahead of a vehicle is recognized to detect information on the obstacle. Information on travelling conditions of the vehicle is detected. The steering performance of the vehicle is changed for controlling behaviour of the vehicle. It is...

The braking control system includes a control unit configured to be electronically connected to at least an object detector and a host vehicle speed sensor for automatically controlling, depending on a host vehicle speed (Vm) and a relative distance (L), a...

A motor brake releasing device includes an electromagnetic brake for locking a motor shaft and a switch mounted between the electromagnetic brake and a releasing-power-supply for the brake. The switch can be operated by an AND signal produced by a motor dr...

A relative distance (L) of the vehicle to an object which may require the vehicle to be braked is detected. It is determined whether the vehicle is approaching the object on the basis of the relative distance (L). A vehicular velocity variation rate (accel...

In a control unit of an own vehicle, specifically in a deceleration judging section, a deceleration calculating section and a brake control section, in order to avoid contacting an obstacle in front of the vehicle, the vehicle is automatically braked based...

An acceleration sensor (15) measures a vehicle's acceleration. A first comparing device (14) compares measured acceleration with a preset acceleration threshold. A distance sensor (12) measures the distance between a vehicle (10) and a vehicle ahead (20). ...
