Driving control device for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A driving control device for a vehicle comprising:
- a base station which has been set to a position that has been measured beforehand, for transmitting correction information to each point within a predetermined area based upon an information received from satellites orbiting the Earth;
a moving station included in said vehicle for calculating a position of the vehicle based upon an information received from said base station and the information received from said satellites;
driving-route storage means for storing a driving route along which said vehicle has moved; and
control means wherein at a time of establishment of communication between said base station and said moving station, if determination is made that the a current position of said vehicle calculated by said moving station has been judged as generally matching with any driving route which has been stored previously in said driving-route storage means, said control means sets a target driving route to said driving route stored previously, and performs automatic driving control of said vehicle such that said vehicle reaches a destination according to said target driving route thus set, and on the other hand, if determination is made that the current position of said vehicle calculated by said moving station has been judged as different from any driving routes which have been stored previously in said driving-route storage means, said control means continuously stores the driving route including the current position, along which said vehicle is moving, in said driving-route storage means.

Abstract
A base station is installed in a driver'"'"'s house or the like where the precise position has been measured beforehand, includes a GPS antenna, a GPS receiver, and a wireless communication device, and functions to transmit various data to a vehicle serving as a moving station in a predetermined range. The vehicle has a GPS antenna, a GPS receiver, and a wireless communication device. When establishing communication between the base station and the moving station, if the current vehicle position generally matches any driving route created and stored in the storage unit earlier, automatic driving control is performed with the matching driving route serving as a target driving route. Conversely, if the current position of the vehicle matches no position on the driving routes created in the past even generally, the storage unit continuously stores the current driving route including the current position, as a new route to the destination.
