Abstract

A driving support system installed on a vehicle includes: a roll back detection device configured to detect roll back of the vehicle; a stop-state detection device configured to detect stopping of the vehicle; a driving operation detection device configured to detect a driving operation performed by a driver of the vehicle; and a driving support control device configured to execute driving support control. The driving support control includes roll back suppression control that generates at least one of a driving force and a braking force to stop the vehicle when the roll back is detected. The driving support control device continues the roll back suppression control at least until the vehicle stops, even when the driving operation is performed during execution of the roll back suppression control.

Claims (29)

1. A driving support system installed on a vehicle and comprising:

a roll back detection device configured to detect roll back of the vehicle, wherein the roll back of the vehicle is a vehicle movement in a direction opposite to a desired movement direction;

a stop-state detection device configured to detect stopping of the vehicle;

a driving operation detection device configured to detect a driving operation performed by a driver of the vehicle; and

a driving support control device configured to execute driving support control,

wherein, upon detection of the roll back, the driving support control includes roll back suppression control that generates at least one of a driving force and a braking force to stop the vehicle,

wherein the driving support control device is configured to continue the roll back suppression control at least until the vehicle stops, even when the driving operation is performed by the driver during execution of the roll back suppression control.

2. The driving support system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the driving support control device is further configured to determine, based on a state of the driving operation, whether or not the driver has a stop-state maintaining intention of maintaining a stop state of the vehicle,

wherein when determining that the driver has the stop-state maintaining intention after the vehicle stops by the roll back suppression control, the driving support control device terminates the roll back suppression control.

3. The driving support system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the driving support control device is further configured to determine, based on a state of the driving operation, whether or not the driver has a start moving intention of making the vehicle start moving,

wherein when determining that the driver has the start moving intention after the vehicle stops by the roll back suppression control, the driving support control device terminates the roll back suppression control.

4. The driving support system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the driving support control further includes stop-state maintaining control that maintains a stop state of the vehicle,

wherein when starting the stop-state maintaining control after the vehicle stops by the roll back suppression control, the driving support control device terminates the roll back suppression control.

5. The driving support system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the driving support control device is further configured to determine, based on a state of the driving operation, whether or not the driver has a stop-state maintaining intention of maintaining a stop state of the vehicle,

wherein when determining that the driver has the stop-state maintaining intention after the stop-state maintaining control is started, the driving support control device terminates the stop-state maintaining control.

6. The driving support system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the driving support control device is further configured to determine, based on a state of the driving operation, whether or not the driver has a start moving intention of making the vehicle start moving,

wherein when determining that the driver has the start moving intention after the stop-state maintaining control is started, the driving support control device terminates the stop-state maintaining control.

7. The driving support system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the driving operation includes an acceleration operation, and

the driving support control device refrains from generating a driver's request driving force according to the acceleration operation during the roll back suppression control.

8. The driving support system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the roll back is in the direction opposite to the desired movement direction expected from a gear position.

9. The driving support system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the roll back suppression control generates at least the driving force to stop the vehicle when the roll back is detected.
