Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle travel control system installed on a vehicle includes: a recognition sensor configured to recognize a situation around the vehicle; a sensor cleaning device configured to clean the recognition sensor; and a control device configured to execute vehicle travel control based on result of recognition by the recognition sensor, and to actuate the sensor cleaning device to execute sensor cleaning processing that cleans the recognition sensor. The control device permits execution of the sensor cleaning processing in a situation where decrease in recognition performance has a small influence on the vehicle travel control. For example, when a surrounding vehicle recognized by a first recognition sensor is also recognized by a second recognition sensor, the control device permits execution of the sensor cleaning processing that cleans the first recognition sensor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle travel control system installed on a vehicle and comprising: a recognition sensor configured to recognize a situation around the vehicle; a sensor cleaning device configured to clean the recognition sensor; and a control device configured to: create a vehicle travel plan, and execute vehicle travel control based on the vehicle travel plan and a result of recognition by the recognition sensor; actuate the sensor cleaning device to execute sensor cleaning processing that cleans the recognition sensor; refer to the vehicle travel plan to determine whether or not a remaining time before an end of the vehicle travel control is less than a predetermined value; and when the remaining time is less than the predetermined value, postpone execution of the sensor cleaning processing until the end of the vehicle travel control and permit the execution of the sensor cleaning processing after the end of the vehicle travel control.
