Vehicle Braking Assistance Intersection Traffic Environment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle braking assistance technologies risk causing collisions when executing braking assistance at intersections, as they do not adequately consider the traffic environment, potentially leading to collisions with other vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A braking assistance device and method that includes an object sensing unit, an intersection entry determination unit, and a braking assistance execution unit, which senses the traffic environment and controls braking assistance to avoid or mitigate collisions by determining the entry of a host vehicle into an intersection and adjusting braking assistance accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If braking assistance is executed without considering intersection traffic environment, then collision avoidance with detected objects is improved, but collision risk with other vehicles at intersection increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of intersection entry status and traffic environment before executing braking assistance. By detecting whether the vehicle is entering an intersection and analyzing the traffic environment in advance, the system adjusts braking assistance execution accordingly, preventing harmful collisions with other vehicles while maintaining collision avoidance capability.
2Reliability
If braking assistance is always executed to avoid collision, then safety against detected objects is improved, but unnecessary braking at intersections increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the traffic environment at intersections and uses this feedback information to adjust braking assistance execution. When the system detects an intersection entry and identifies the traffic environment, it modulates braking assistance accordingly, preventing unnecessary braking while maintaining safety against detected objects.

AI summary
A braking assistance device for a vehicle includes an object sensing unit for sensing an object, an intersection entry determination unit for determining entry of a host vehicle into an intersection, and a braking assistance execution unit for executing braking assistance by a braking device so as to avoid or mitigate collision with the object. If the host vehicle is determined to be entering the intersection, the braking assistance execution unit determines, based on a sensing result from the object sensing unit, a traffic environment at the intersection, and controls execution of the braking assistance in accordance with the determined traffic environment.
