Abstract:
1. A vehicular control object determination system comprising: an object detector detecting an object that is present in the direction of travel of a vehicle; a vehicle speed sensor detecting a vehicle speed; a yaw rate sensor detecting a yaw rate; a first travel locus estimator operatively coupled to the vehicle speed sensor and the yaw rate sensor, the first travel locus estimator estimating a future travel locus of the vehicle based on the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor and the yaw rate detected by the yaw rate sensor; a control object determiner determining a control object based on a detection result obtained by the object detector, a travel locus estimated by the first travel locus estimator, and predetermined control object determination conditions; a travel locus calculator calculating a past travel locus of the vehicle; a second travel locus estimator estimating a future travel locus of the vehicle based on the calculated past travel locus; and a locus correlation degree calculator determining a degree of correlation between the travel locus estimated by the first travel locus estimator and the travel locus estimated by the second travel locus estimator; the control object determiner modifying the control object determination conditions based on an output of the locus correlation degree calculator.
