Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A control device that performs travel control of a vehicle includes a sensor that detects a situation around the vehicle, and a travel control unit that performs travel control for automated driving based on a detection result of the sensor. During execution of stop transition control of decelerating or stopping the vehicle, the travel control unit causes the vehicle to stay on a traveling road when the detection result of the sensor or a state of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition, and moves the vehicle to an off-road area adjacent to the traveling road when the detection result of the sensor or the state of the vehicle does not satisfy the predetermined condition.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A control device that performs travel control of a vehicle, the control device comprising: a sensor that detects a situation around the vehicle; and a travel control unit that performs travel control for automated driving based on a detection result of the sensor, wherein during execution of stop transition control of decelerating or stopping the vehicle, the travel control unit causes the vehicle to stay on a traveling road when the detection result of the sensor or a state of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition, and moves the vehicle to an off-road area adjacent to the traveling road when the detection result of the sensor or the state of the vehicle does not satisfy the predetermined condition. 2 . The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined condition includes at least one of facts that the off-road area adjacent to the traveling road cannot be detected, that presence of an obstacle in the off-road area adjacent to the traveling road is detected, and/or that control performance of the vehicle is degraded. 3 . The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the travel control unit performs stop holding control after stopping the vehicle. 4 . The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the travel control unit performs deceleration control depending on presence or absence of a following vehicle in the stop transition control. 5 . The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the travel control unit starts the stop transition control after performing driving handover notification to a driver of the vehicle. 6 . The control device according to claim 1 , wherein when the travel control unit stops the vehicle on the traveling road in the stop transition control, the travel control unit stops the vehicle in a position deviated from a center of a lane of the traveling road when control performance of the vehicle is not degraded, and stops the vehicle in the center of the lane of the traveling road when control performance of the vehicle is degraded. 7 . A vehicle, comprising: the control device according to claim 1 , and an actuator group controlled by the travel control unit of the control device. 8 . A control method of a vehicle including a sensor that detects a situation around the vehicle, and performing travel control for automated driving based on a detection result of the sensor, the method comprising: during execution of stop transition control of decelerating or stopping the vehicle, causing the vehicle to stay on a traveling road when the detection result of the sensor or a state of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition, and moving the vehicle to an off-road area adjacent to the traveling road when the detection result of the sensor or the state of the vehicle does not satisfy the predetermined condition.
