Vehicle control device
A vehicle control device according to an embodiment includes: a steering controller configured to control steering of a vehicle; and a controller configured to, when the vehicle is located at a first position on a travel route, instruct the steering controller to control the vehicle at a steering angle corresponding to a second position that is an advanced position from the first position in a traveling direction on the travel route.
1. A vehicle control device comprising:
a memory configured to store therein a software; and
at least one processor configured to execute the software, wherein the software when executed causes the at least one processor to implement:
a steering controller configured to control steering of a vehicle;
a controller configured to, when the vehicle is located at a first position on a travel route, instruct the steering controller to control the vehicle at a steering angle corresponding to a second position, the second position being an advanced position of the vehicle from the first position in a traveling direction on the travel route; and
an acquirer configured to acquire a speed or acceleration of the vehicle, wherein
when the vehicle is located at the first position on the travel route and when the second position of the vehicle advancing based on the speed or acceleration currently acquired by the acquirer is closer to the first position than a third position of the vehicle advancing based on the speed or acceleration previously acquired, the controller instructs the steering controller to continue a steering angle corresponding to the third position.
2. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the software when executed causes the at least one processor to further implement a generator configured to generate a travel route to guide the vehicle to a target position, wherein
when the vehicle is located at the first position on the travel route generated by the generator, the controller instructs the steering controller to control the vehicle at a steering angle corresponding to the second position on the travel route.
3. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the software when executed causes the at least one processor to further implement a speed acquirer configured to acquire a speed of the vehicle, wherein
the controller instructs the steering controller to control the vehicle at a steering angle adjusted in accordance with a delay time, the delay time being a time based on the speed of the vehicle acquired by the speed acquirer from a receipt of a steering command by the steering controller to a start of steering.
4. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the software when executed causes the at least one processor to further implement a steering acquirer configured to acquire information on steering performed in the vehicle, wherein
the controller instructs the steering controller to control the vehicle at a steering angle depending on a result of determination of whether the steering of the vehicle corresponds to additional steering, based on the information on steering acquired by the steering acquirer.
5. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the software when executed causes the at least one processor to further implement a steering angle acquirer configured to acquire a steering angle of the vehicle, wherein
the controller corrects a steering angle corresponding to the second position to be provided to the steering controller, based on a difference between a steering angle corresponding to the first position and the steering angle of the vehicle acquired by the steering angle acquirer.
