<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To exactly perform vehicle control by preventing inappropriate integration of a plurality of objects existing in front of a driver's own vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: Objects T1... in front of the driver's own vehicle Va are detected by a radar, a plurality of objects T1 to T5 existing within a prescribed range are integrated and defined as a target object Ta corresponding to a large-scale vehicle Vb. When the object T5 exists in the front distant from a representative position of the target object Ta by 3 m or more, distant in the left direction (the direction to approach an estimated trace) from a left end point of the representative position by 0.8 m or more, in front within 50 m from the driver's own vehicle Va and in an area included in the estimated trace of the driver's own vehicle Va, the object T5 is defined as a target object Tb corresponding to a small-scale vehicle Vc and separated from the original target object Ta. Then, the small-scale vehicle Vc existing in the estimated trace of the driver's own vehicle Va can properly be controlled by controlling a traveling state of the driver's own vehicle Va based on the target object Tb. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
