VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18158817 Titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a vehicle control system that can accurately determine if it is possible for a vehicle to change lanes without interfering with obstacles. This system calculates a target trajectory for lane changing while avoiding restricted areas. It then determines if lane changing is possible based on the vehicle's position in the target trajectory. If it is determined to be possible, the system guides the vehicle to change lanes using the target trajectory. This system aims to improve driver comfort and safety during lane changing maneuvers.
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided a vehicle control apparatus that can correctly determine that lane changing is possible in a situation that by accelerating or decelerating, an ego vehicle can perform the lane changing without interfering with an obstacle, and that raises the comfortability for the drier. In the vehicle control apparatus, a target trajectory for performing lane changing under restriction of not entering an entry prohibition region is calculated; a determination section determines whether or not lane changing is possible, based on at least information on a position of the ego vehicle in the target trajectory; in the case where it is determined that lane changing is possible, the ego vehicle is made to change a lane, by use of the target trajectory.
