Abstract

Travelling corresponding to characteristics of autonomous driving can be performed. An autonomous driving control device 3 mounted on a vehicle and controlling autonomous driving, includes a storage unit 32 that stores map data 32 a , a route extraction unit 311 that extracts a plurality of routes from an origin O to a destination D based on the map data 32 a , a determination unit 312 that determines whether or not to change to another route in response to a situation of an intersection when the vehicle approaches the intersection while the vehicle is traveling in one route of the routes extracted by the route extraction unit 311 , and an autonomous driving control unit 313 that controls autonomous driving based on the determination of the determination unit 312.

Claims (26)

1. An autonomous driving control device mounted on a vehicle and controlling autonomous driving, comprising:

a storage unit that stores map information;

a route extraction unit that extracts a plurality of routes from an origin to a destination based on the map information;

a determination unit that determines whether or not to change to another route in response to a situation of an intersection when the vehicle approaches the intersection while the vehicle is traveling on one route of the routes extracted by the route extraction unit; and

an autonomous driving control unit that controls autonomous driving based on determination of the determination unit,

wherein the determination unit

determines whether or not to change to the other route from the one route in accordance with a signal state of an intersection.

2. The autonomous driving control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the route extraction unit

extracts a plurality of routes with differences in an estimated travel time period or a traveling distance being within a predetermined range.

3. The autonomous driving control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determination unit

determines to perform change to the other route from the one route by making a right turn in the intersection, when a signal of the intersection at a time of the vehicle arriving at the intersection indicates a right turn when change to the other route from the one route is performed by making the right turn in the intersection.

4. An autonomous driving control device mounted on a vehicle and controlling autonomous driving, comprising:

a storage unit that stores map information;

a route extraction unit that extracts a plurality of routes from an origin to a destination based on the map information;

a determination unit that determines whether or not to change to another route in response to a situation of an intersection when the vehicle approaches the intersection while the vehicle is traveling on one route of the routes extracted by the route extraction unit; and

an autonomous driving control unit that controls autonomous driving based on determination of the determination unit,

wherein the determination unit

determines whether or not change of a lane is possible when change of the lane is necessary to make a right or left turn when change to the other route from the one route is performed by making a right or left turn in an intersection, and when change of the lane is not possible, the determination unit determines not to perform change of the route.

5. The autonomous driving control device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the determination unit

acquires information concerning a white line formed on a road, and determines whether or not change of the lane is possible based on the acquired information.

6. The autonomous driving control device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the route extraction unit

extracts a plurality of routes with differences in an estimated travel time period or a traveling distance being within a predetermined range.
