VEHICLE CONTROLLER, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A vehicle controller comprising:
- an on-vehicle outside sensing unit configured to detect a target based on characteristics of the outside of a vehicle;
an operation unit configured to operate the vehicle;
a decision section configured to determine a first operation mode upon non-operation of the operation unit or a second operation mode different from the first operation mode upon operation of the operation unit; and
a control unit configured to determine, upon decision section determining the second operation mode, as an obstacle the target detected by the on-vehicle outside sensing unit in a shorter time than required upon decision section determining the first operation mode and to control the vehicle in response to the obstacle determined.

Abstract
A vehicle controller includes: an on-vehicle outside sensing unit configured to detect a target based on characteristics of the outside of a vehicle; an operation unit that operates the vehicle; a decision section configured to determine a first operation mode upon non-operation of the operation unit or a second operation mode different from the first operation mode upon operation of the operation unit; and a control unit configured to determine, upon decision section determining the second operation mode, an obstacle based on the target detected by the on-vehicle outside sensing unit in a shorter time than required upon decision section determining the first operation mode and to control the vehicle in accordance with the obstacle determined.

10. A method for controlling a vehicle, comprising:
-
a decision step of determining a first operation mode upon non-operation of the vehicle or a second operation mode upon operation of the vehicle; a determination step of determining as an obstacle a target detected by an on-vehicle outside sensing unit mounted on the vehicle by using first determination criteria depending on the first operation mode determined in the decision step or second determination criteria depending on the second operation mode, wherein the first determination criteria are different from the second determination criteria; and a control step of controlling the vehicle in response to the obstacle determined in the determination step.
