前記衝突回避支援決定部は、前記運動特性値取得部が取得した前記運動特性値と、前記遭遇状態判定部によって判定された前記遭遇状態における過去の前記運動特性値の履歴から得られた前記比較対象時間帯における遭遇状態別基準運動特性値と、の比較結果に基づいて、前記実行予定タイミングよりも前のタイミングで前記衝突回避支援を実行するか否かを決定する、請求項1~4のいずれか一項に記載の衝突回避支援装置。 - 前記衝突回避支援決定部は、前記遭遇状態が横断状態である場合に、前記遭遇状態別基準運動特性値として、前記遭遇状態判定部によって遭遇状態が横断状態と判定された過去の運動特性値の履歴から得られた前記比較対象時間帯における横断状態基準運動特性値を用いる、請求項5に記載の衝突回避支援装置。
- 車両周囲の物体に対する前記車両の衝突回避支援を実行する衝突回避支援方法であって、
前記物体を検出する物体検出ステップと、
物体検出ステップの検出結果に基づいて、前記衝突回避支援の実行を予定する実行予定タイミングを決定する実行予定タイミング決定ステップと、
前記物体検出ステップで前記物体を検出したタイミングよりも後かつ前記実行予定タイミング決定ステップで決定した前記実行予定タイミングよりも前の所定の時間帯である比較対象時間帯において、前記車両のジャークから得られる運動特性値を取得する運動特性値取得ステップと、
前記運動特性値取得ステップで取得した前記運動特性値と、過去の前記運動特性値の履歴から得られた前記比較対象時間帯における基準運動特性値と、の比較結果に基づいて、前記実行予定タイミングよりも前のタイミングで前記衝突回避支援を実行するか否かを決定する衝突回避支援決定ステップと、を備える、衝突回避支援方法。
