Vehicle brake control system for determining possibility of avoiding obstacle, has preceding object avoidability determining section determining possibility of avoiding preceding object by steering and reducing braking force

摘要

The system has a preceding object detecting section detecting a preceding object or obstacle (WO) position in front of a host vehicle (NS). A steering actuation state detecting section detects a steering wheel`s actuation state. A preceding object avoidability determining section determines a possibility of avoiding the object by steering and reducing a current braking force based on the object position, and vehicle`s running condition, the force and the actuation state. A braking force control section reduces the force when the determining section determines that the object is avoided. An independent claim is also included for a vehicle brake control method.
