Vehicle cruise control device

摘要

A vehicle cruise control device is provided that obtains a target trajectory of a vehicle based on white lines 102 and 104 as traveling route specification targets contained in information acquired by a device that acquires at least information in front of the vehicle, and performs traveling trajectory control so as to cause the vehicle to travel along the target trajectory. When the vehicle travels a particular area 110 where a traveling route branches into a plurality of traveling routes and a target trajectory cannot be obtained based on white lines, an interim target trajectory 116 is obtained for the particular area, based on the white lines 102 and 104 in an area adjacent to the particular area and a traveling route that the vehicle is to travel after traveling the particular area, and interim traveling trajectory control is executed so that the vehicle travels along the interim target trajectory.

主权项

1. A vehicle cruise control device comprising:
an image pickup device configured to acquire at least information about a situation in front of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to obtain a target trajectory of the vehicle based on a traveling route specification target included in the information acquired by the image pickup device, and perform traveling trajectory control so as to cause the vehicle to travel along the target trajectory, when a target trajectory cannot be obtained based on the traveling route specification target, an area where a traveling route branches into a plurality of traveling routes is considered to be a particular area, and wherein, when the vehicle travels to the particular area, the control unit determines a first traveling route that the vehicle is to travel after traveling the particular area, obtains an interim target trajectory for the particular area based on a first traveling route specification target of the first traveling route and a second traveling route specification target of a second traveling route that the vehicle is traveling, and executes interim traveling trajectory control so that the vehicle travels along the interim target trajectory.
