Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a generation unit configured to generate a locus of a position of an own vehicle for each predetermined time in a future as a trajectory of the own vehicle, a traveling control unit configured to control a traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the trajectory generated by the generation unit, and a storage control unit configured to cause a storage unit to store information indicating a steering component corresponding to a trajectory previously generated by the generation unit when the own vehicle is stopped.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A vehicle control apparatus comprising: a generation unit configured to generate a locus of a position of an own vehicle for each predetermined time in a future as a trajectory of the own vehicle; a traveling control unit configured to control a traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the trajectory generated by the generation unit; and a storage control unit configured to cause a storage unit to store information indicating a steering component corresponding to a trajectory previously generated by the generation unit when the own vehicle is stopped. 2 . The vehicle control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the traveling control unit determines a steering angle when the traveling of the own vehicle starts on the basis of the information indicating the steering component stored in the storage unit. 3 . The vehicle control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the traveling control unit maintains a steering angle of the own vehicle on the basis of the information indicating the steering component stored in the storage unit while the own vehicle is stopped. 4 . A vehicle control method of an on-vehicle computer, the method comprising: generating a locus of a position of an own vehicle for each predetermined time in a future as a trajectory of the own vehicle; controlling traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the generated trajectory; and causing a storage unit to store information indicating a steering component of a previously generated trajectory when the own vehicle is stopped. 5 . A vehicle control program for causing an on-vehicle computer to: generate a locus of a position of an own vehicle for each predetermined time in a future as a trajectory of the own vehicle; control traveling of the own vehicle on the basis of the generated trajectory; and cause a storage unit to store information indicating a steering component of a previously generated trajectory when the own vehicle is stopped.
