Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A vehicle control system includes: a recognition part that recognizes a state of a peripheral object; an approach determination part that determines, based on the behavior of a rearward vehicle recognized by the recognition part, approach of the rearward vehicle; and an action plan generation part that displaces a vehicle in an intersect direction which intersects with a travel route within a travel road when the approach determination part determines that there is an approach and when the recognition part recognizes an object in front of the vehicle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A vehicle control system, comprising: a recognition part that recognizes a state of a peripheral object; an approach determination part that determines, based on the behavior of a rearward vehicle recognized by the recognition part, approach of the rearward vehicle; and an action plan generation part that displaces a vehicle in an intersect direction which intersects with a travel route within a travel road when the approach determination part determines that there is an approach and when the recognition part recognizes an object in front of the vehicle. 2 . The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein the action plan generation part displaces the vehicle in a direction in which the object is visually recognized from a driver seat of the rearward vehicle. 3 . The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein the recognition part determines approach of the rearward vehicle based on a travel speed when the rearward vehicle passes through a tollbooth gate. 4 . The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein the action plan generation part does not displace the vehicle when a distance from an end of a travel road to an end of the vehicle at a position after displacement of the vehicle at which the object is visually recognized is smaller than a predetermined distance. 5 . The vehicle control system according to claim 3 , wherein the action plan generation part displaces the vehicle in an opposite direction to an arrangement direction of a driver seat of the rearward vehicle. 6 . The vehicle control system according to claim 5 , wherein the object is a predetermined region of a frontward vehicle that precedes the vehicle. 7 . The vehicle control system according to claim 6 , wherein the recognition part determines a class of the frontward vehicle or a class of the rearward vehicle, and the action plan generation part determines whether or not the displacement is required based on the class. 8 . A vehicle control method, by way of a computer, comprising: recognizing a state of a peripheral object; determining, based on a recognized behavior of a rearward vehicle, approach of the rearward vehicle; and displacing a vehicle in an intersect direction that intersects with a travel route within a travel road when it is determined that there is an approach and when an object is recognized in front of the vehicle. 9 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium comprising a vehicle control program that causes a computer to: recognize a state of a peripheral object; determine, based on a recognized behavior of a rearward vehicle, approach of the rearward vehicle; and displace a vehicle in an intersect direction that intersects with a travel route within a travel road when it is determined that there is an approach and when an object is recognized in front of the vehicle.
