Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. A driving assistance system comprising:
a target detector configured to detect a target around a subject vehicle;
an operation amount sensor configured to obtain an accelerating operation amount corresponding to an operation amount of a driver of the subject vehicle;
a speed sensor configured to detect a vehicle speed, the vehicle speed being a speed of the subject vehicle; and
an electronic control unit configured to perform pre-collision control for avoiding a collision with the target by performing a braking control to apply braking force to the subject vehicle during preliminary and main braking,
the electronic control unit is further configured to:
store permission information when a permission condition that the obtained accelerating operation amount is equal to or larger than a first operation amount threshold value, and the detected vehicle speed is equal to or less than a speed threshold value, is established;
determine, when a possibility of a collision between the target and the subject vehicle is equal to or higher than a possibility threshold value, that a control start condition is satisfied irrespective of the vehicle speed at a point in time at which the possibility becomes equal to or larger than the possibility threshold value; and
perform, when the control start condition is satisfied, the pre-collision control when the permission information is stored, and not to perform, when the control start condition is satisfied, the pre-collision control when the permission information is not stored.
