Vehicle control apparatus, vehicle control method, and vehicle control program
First Claim
1. A vehicle control apparatus comprising:
- a trajectory generation unit, a target speed calculation unit, a traveling control unit, a derivation unit, and a correction unit, each unit comprising a software function unit which functions by a central processing unit or a hardware function unit including an application specific integrated circuit,the trajectory generation unit being configured to generate a locus of a position of an own vehicle for each predetermined time in a future as a trajectory of the own vehicle;
the target speed calculation unit being configured to calculate a target speed of the own vehicle for each position on the trajectory generated by the trajectory generation unit;
the traveling control unit being configured to control traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the target speed calculated by the target speed calculation unit;
the derivation unit being configured toderive a first difference between a position on the trajectory generated by the trajectory generation unit and a current position of the own vehicle every time the predetermined time elapses, andderive a second difference between the position on the trajectory generated by the trajectory generation unit and a predicted arrival position of the own vehicle which is predicted where the own vehicle arrives after the predetermined time lapses if the own vehicle travels on the basis of the target speed calculated by the target speed calculation unit; and
the correction unit being configured to correct the target speed calculated by the target speed calculation unit on the basis of one or both of the first difference and the second difference derived by the derivation unit.

Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus includes a trajectory generation unit configured to generate a locus of a position of an own vehicle for each predetermined time in a future as a trajectory of the own vehicle, a target speed calculation unit configured to calculate a target speed of the own vehicle for each position on the trajectory generated by the trajectory generation unit, a traveling control unit configured to control traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the target speed calculated by the target speed calculation unit, a derivation unit configured to derive a difference between a position on the trajectory generated by the trajectory generation unit and a current position of the own vehicle every time the predetermined time elapses, and a correction unit configured to correct the target speed calculated by the target speed calculation unit on the basis of the difference derived by the derivation unit.

4. A vehicle control method of an on-vehicle computer having a central processing unit which executes a program, the method comprising:
-
operating the on-vehicle computer to generate a locus of a position of an own vehicle for each predetermined time in a future as a trajectory of the own vehicle; calculate a target speed of the own vehicle for each position on the generated trajectory; control traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the calculated target speed; derive a first difference between a position on the generated trajectory and a current position of the own vehicle every time the predetermined time elapses; derive a second difference between the position on the trajectory and a predicted arrival position of the own vehicle which is predicted where the own vehicle arrives after the predetermined time lapses if the own vehicle travels on the basis of the target speed; and correct the calculated target speed on the basis of one or both of the first difference and the second difference.

5. A vehicle control program provided in a computer readable medium including instructions for an on-vehicle computer to:
-
generate a locus of a position of an own vehicle for each predetermined time in a future as a trajectory of the own vehicle; calculate a target speed of the own vehicle for each position on the generated trajectory; control traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the calculated target speed; derive a difference between a position on the generated trajectory and a current position of the own vehicle every time the predetermined time elapses; derive a second difference between the position on the trajectory and a predicted arrival position of the own vehicle which is predicted where the own vehicle arrives after the predetermined time lapses if the own vehicle travels on the basis of the target speed; and correct the calculated target speed on the basis of one or both of the first difference and the second difference.
