Abstract

A vehicle control system installed on a vehicle executes turning control that controls a turning device configured to turn a wheel of the vehicle. The turning control includes: first turning control that generates a target trajectory and makes the vehicle follow the target trajectory; and second turning control that is executed independently of the first turning control without depending on the target trajectory. When the first turning control and the second turning control are executed simultaneously, the vehicle control system determines whether the first turning control counteracts turning by the second turning control. When the first turning control counteracts the turning by the second turning control, the vehicle control system replans the target trajectory by designating at least one of a current position and a current yaw angle of the vehicle as a starting point of the target trajectory.

Claims (15)

1. A vehicle control system installed on a vehicle and comprising:

a turning device configured to turn a wheel of the vehicle; and

a control device configured to execute turning control that controls the turning device, wherein

the turning control comprises:

first turning control that generates a target trajectory and makes the vehicle follow the target trajectory; and

second turning control that is executed independently of the first turning control without depending on the target trajectory,

when the first turning control and the second turning control are executed simultaneously, the control device determines whether or not the first turning control counteracts turning of the wheel by the second turning control, and

when determining that the first turning control counteracts the turning of the wheel by the second turning control, the control device replans the target trajectory by designating at least one of a current position and a current yaw angle of the vehicle as a starting point of the target trajectory.

2. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein

when determining that the first turning control strengthens the turning of the wheel by the second turning control, the control device maintains the target trajectory without replanning.

3. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein

the control device compares a first target turning direction of the first turning control and a second target turning direction of the second turning control, and

when the first target turning direction is opposite to the second target turning direction, the control device determines that the first turning control counteracts the turning of the wheel by the second turning control.

4. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein

priority of the second turning control is higher than priority of the first turning control.
