Abstract:
A host vehicle has an automatic brake control that is executed for avoiding contact between the host vehicle and a pedestrian upon detecting a pedestrian is present in a forward position of the host vehicle using a front camera and a radar. In a driving assist control method, upon detecting an object in front of the host vehicle to be a pedestrian candidate based on an image signal from the front camera), execution of an automatic brake control is permitted with the detected pedestrian candidate as the control target. Thereafter, determining by comparison whether or not the pedestrian candidate detected by the front camera matches an object detected by the reflected waves from the millimeter wave radar. Execution of the automatic brake control is continued or stopped based on the result of the comparison determination.

Claim (Index 5):
A vehicle driving assist control device comprising:\n external environment recognition sensors that acquire forward information of a host vehicle; and a driving assist controller that executes a vehicle driving assist control for avoiding contact between the host vehicle and a pedestrian, when the pedestrian is determined by the external environment recognition sensors, the external environment recognition sensors including a camera and a radar, the driving assist controller being configured to permit execution of the vehicle driving assist control, with a determined pedestrian candidate as a control target, when an object that is present in front of the host vehicle is determined to be the pedestrian candidate based on an image signal from the camera, and a control process being carried out thereafter to determine using comparison whether or not the pedestrian candidate detected by the camera matches an object detected by the reflected waves from the radar, and the driving assist control is continued if matching is established and the driving assist control is canceled if matching is not established.
