Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle control device includes a determination unit that determines, based on the detection results of sensor that acquire the surrounding environment of the host vehicle, whether obstacles and traveling other vehicles exist in the adjacent lane adjacent to one side in the vehicle-width direction of an own lane in which the host vehicle travels, and a travel control unit that, when it is determined by the determination unit that obstacles and traveling other vehicles exist in the adjacent lane, offsets the lateral position of the host vehicle in the own lane to the other side in the vehicle-width direction. The travel control unit adjusts the amount of offset to offset the lateral position of the host vehicle to the other side in the vehicle-width direction according to the road structure on the opposite side of the adjacent lane side.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A vehicle control device comprising: 1 . A vehicle control device comprising: a determination unit that determines, based on the detection results of sensor that acquire the surrounding environment of a host vehicle, whether or not an obstacle and a traveling other vehicle exists in the adjacent lane adjacent to one side in the vehicle-width direction of an own lane in which the host vehicle travels; and a travel control unit that, when it is determined by the determination unit that the obstacle and the traveling other vehicle exists in the adjacent lane, offsets a lateral position of the host vehicle in the own lane to the other side in the vehicle-width direction, wherein the travel control unit adjusts an amount of offset to offset the lateral position of the host vehicle to the other side in the vehicle-width direction according to the road structure on the opposite side of the adjacent lane side. 2 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the travel control unit offsets the lateral position of the host vehicle to the other side in the vehicle-width direction in the own lane regardless of whether traveling the other vehicle exists in the adjacent lane if there is a blind spot of the sensor in the adjacent lane. 3 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the travel control unit reduces or sets to zero the amount of offset to offset the lateral position of the host vehicle to the other side in the vehicle-width direction if a pedestrian or an another traveling other vehicle exists on the opposite side of the adjacent lane side. 4 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the travel control unit reduces or sets to zero the amount of offset if the road structure on the opposite side of the adjacent lane side is a pedestrian strip with only lane lines or a lane facing the entrance and exit of a building. 5 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the travel control unit does not reduce the amount of offset if the road structure on the opposite side of the adjacent lane side is a sidewalk with curbs.
