NAVIGATION DEVICE FOR AUTONOMOUSLY DRIVING VEHICLE

摘要

In a navigation device for the autonomously driving vehicle, a continuation degree of autonomous driving on the paths found by a path searcher is calculated by a continuation degree calculator. In addition, a path for the host vehicle to travel is selected by the path selector from the paths found by the path searcher based on the degree of continuation of the autonomous driving. Therefore, it is possible to select a path for the host vehicle travelling by autonomous driving while including the degree of continuation of the autonomous driving in conditions for selecting the path.

主权项

1. A navigation device for an autonomously driving vehicle configured to select a path for an autonomously travelling host vehicle, the device comprising:
a position estimator configured to estimate a position of the host vehicle; a destination setter configured to set a destination of the host vehicle; a path searcher configured to search for a path for the host vehicle to travel based on the position estimated by the position estimator and the destination set by the destination setter; a continuation degree calculator configured to calculate a continuation degree of the autonomous driving in the path found by the path searcher; and a path selector configured to select the path for the host vehicle to travel from the paths found by the path searcher based on the continuation degree calculated by the continuation degree calculator.
