VEHICLE TRAVEL CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

Provided is a travel control device (100) that implements: an object information acquisition function of acquiring object information including the position of an avoidance object to be avoided around a host vehicle (V1); a region setting function of setting an object region (R) in accordance with the position of the avoidance object; a route setting function of setting a target route (RT) for avoiding the object region (R); and a control function of outputting control information for causing the host vehicle (V1) to travel on the target route (RT). At the start of operation of the travel control device (100), if the position of the host vehicle (V1) and the position of another vehicle (V2) as the avoidance object have a predetermined proximity relationship, the region setting function sets the object region (R) of the other vehicle (V2) to be smaller than when the position of the host vehicle (V1) and the position of the other vehicle (V2) do not have the predetermined proximity relationship.
