Abstract

Control can be continued so that control of automatic driving is not canceled even in a non-average specific road environment. An automatic driving control device, which controls an actuator of a vehicle in order to automatically travel on a road without driver operation through the use of an external surrounding recognition sensor for recognizing external surroundings and information from the external surrounding recognition sensor, has a learning recording device for recording external surrounding recognition information and vehicle status information when the driver is driving, an output comparison device for comparing the information recorded in the learning recording device with the processing results when the information recorded in the recording device is processed by the automatic driving control device, and a control parameter setting device for setting control parameters so that the results compared by the output comparison device approach the driving of the driver.

Claims (22)

1. An automatic driving control device that controls an actuator of a vehicle in order to cause the vehicle to automatically travel according to an external surrounding recognition sensor that recognizes external surroundings and information from the external surrounding recognition sensor without driver operation, the automatic driving control device comprising:

a learning recording device that records external surrounding recognition information and vehicle condition information when the driver drives the vehicle;

an output comparison device that compares a result of a process in which the automatic driving control device processes the information recorded in the recording device with the information recorded in the learning recording device; and

a control parameter setting device that sets a control parameter so that the result compared by the output comparison device approaches driving of the driver,

wherein the control parameter that is set by the control parameter setting device is associated with a position of the vehicle on a map, and

wherein a value of an integral of a speed of the vehicle in a longitudinal direction and a speed of the vehicle in a lateral direction is reset when the position of the vehicle on the map reaches a predetermined point on the map.

2. The automatic driving control device according to claim 1 , wherein the control parameter set on the map is read again from the map and control is performed.

3. An automatic driving control device, comprising:

an external surrounding recognition sensor that recognizes external surroundings;

a learning recording device that records external surrounding recognition information and vehicle condition information when a driver drives a vehicle; and

an output comparison device that compares a result of a process in which the automatic driving control device processes the information recorded in the recording device with the information recorded in the learning recording device,

wherein the automatic driving control device controls an actuator of the vehicle in order to cause the vehicle to automatically travel according to information from the external surrounding recognition sensor without driver operation, and

changes a weight assigned to a recognized object which is recognized by the external surrounding recognition sensor of the vehicle so that the result compared by the output comparison device approaches driving of the driver,

wherein the weight assigned to the recognized object is recorded as a control parameter on a map and is associated with a position of the vehicle on the map, and

wherein a value of an integral of a speed of the vehicle in a longitudinal direction and a speed of the vehicle in a lateral direction is reset when the position of the vehicle on the map reaches a predetermined point on the map.

4. An automatic driving control device, comprising:

an external surrounding recognition sensor that recognizes external surroundings;

a learning recording device that records external surrounding recognition information and vehicle condition information when a driver drives a vehicle; and

an output comparison device that compares a result of a process in which the automatic driving control device processes the information recorded in the recording device with the information recorded in the learning recording device,

wherein the automatic driving control device controls an actuator of the vehicle in order to cause the vehicle to automatically travel according to information from the external surrounding recognition sensor without driver operation,

wherein a control parameter is associated with a position of the vehicle on a map, and

wherein a value of an integral of a speed of the vehicle in a longitudinal direction and a speed of the vehicle in a lateral direction is reset when the position of the vehicle on the map reaches a predetermined point on the map.
