Vehicular traveling regulation device and method for controlling vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicular traveling regulation device comprising:
- a present position detection unit configured to detect a present position of a vehicle;
a traveling direction detection unit configured to detect a traveling direction of the vehicle;
a position determination unit configured to determine whether the present position, which is detected by the present position detection unit, deviates from a predetermined range;
a direction determination unit configured to determine whether the traveling direction, which is detected by the traveling direction detection unit, is along a return direction, which is toward the predetermined range, on determination of the position determination unit that the present position deviates from the predetermined range, wherein the direction determination unit is configured to determine that the traveling direction is along the return direction in a case where the predetermined range exists on an extension line extending from the present position in the traveling direction; and
a traveling regulation unit configured to regulate traveling of the vehicle on determination of the direction determination unit that the traveling direction is not along the return direction.

Abstract
A position determination unit determines whether a present position of a vehicle deviates from a predetermined range. A direction determination unit determines whether a traveling direction of the vehicle is along a return direction, which is toward the predetermined range, on determination of the position determination unit that the present position deviates from the predetermined range. A traveling regulation unit regulates traveling of the vehicle when the direction determination unit determines that the traveling direction is not along the return direction.

9. A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
detecting a present position of the vehicle; detecting a traveling direction of the vehicle; determining whether the detected present position deviates from a predetermined range; determining whether the detected traveling direction is along a return direction, which is toward the predetermined range, on determination that the present position deviates from the predetermined range; determining that the traveling direction is along the return direction in a case where the predetermined range exists on an extension line extending from the present position in the traveling direction; and regulating traveling of the vehicle on determination that the traveling direction is not along the return direction. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
