Running support system for vehicle

摘要

There is provided a running support system for a vehicle, which supports running of a vehicle by using a radar and image recognition means as obstacle detecting means, and in which appropriate support control based on a result of detection performed by each control means is set. A result of obstacle detection performed by a millimeter wave radar ( 21 ) is checked against a result of obstacle detection performed by image recognition means ( 22 ). Then, a starting condition for the running support control is changed depending on whether an obstacle has been detected by both the millimeter wave radar ( 21 ) and the image recognition means ( 22 ), or an obstacle has been detected by only one of the millimeter wave radar ( 21 ) and the image recognition means ( 22 ). Thus, the control support is performed based on an inattentive condition of a driver.
