VEHICLE-BORNE RADAR EQUIPMENT

摘要

PURPOSE:To prevent missing of another foregoing vehicle when the foregoing vehicle being followed up changes a lane. CONSTITUTION:A first deflection control means M4 determines an angle of deflection on the basis of a relative distance and a curvature of a road when a foregoing vehicle is detected by a radar device M1, and controls a rotating device M2. A second deflection control means M5 determines the angle of deflection on the basis of a prescribed distance and the curvature of the road when the foregoing vehicle can not be detected, and controls the rotating device M2. A third deflection control means M6 controls the rotating device M2 with an intermediate angle between the first and second angles of deflection when the state wherein the foregoing vehicle is detected shifts to the state wherein it can not be detected. A radar operation control means M7 executes detection of the relative distance by the radar device M1 at the intermediate angle.
