Title:

TRAVEL CONTROL DEVICE AND TRAVEL CONTROL METHOD

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/031036

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Provided is a travel control device (100) which executes: a first information-acquiring function for acquiring host vehicle information including the position of a host vehicle (V1); a second information-acquiring function for acquiring lane marker information including positions of lane markers; a setting function for setting control regions with prescribed widths on the lane markers; and a control function for controlling the travel position of the host vehicle (V1) such that the host vehicle (V1) travels between a pair of control regions set to the left and right of the host vehicle. In the case of a pair of control regions set on turning point lane markers, which are lane markers extending a predetermined distance and encompassing a turning point that lies ahead of the host vehicle (V1) in the traveling direction and that is the point at which the host vehicle (V1) would begin turning, the setting function sets the ratio (WR/WT) of the width (WR) of the control region on the side of the host vehicle (V1) away from the turning side to the width (WT) of the control region on the turning side so that this ratio is larger than the ratio (WR/WT) of the widths of control regions set on lane markers that lie between the turning point (TP) and the host vehicle (V1) but are not turning point lane markers.
