Cant estimating method, cant estimating apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program
A cant estimating method of estimating a cant of a travelling road of a vehicle includes a step of acquiring vehicle information including information on a speed, a lateral acceleration, a steering angle, a yaw rate, and a position of each of a plurality of vehicles including a first vehicle, a step of estimating a cant of a travelling road of the first vehicle based on the vehicle information, and a step of storing the estimated cant, in association with information on the position of the first vehicle, in a cant angle database usable by the plurality of vehicles.
1. A cant estimating method of estimating a cant of a travelling road of a vehicle, the cant estimating method comprising:
acquiring vehicle information including information on a speed, a lateral acceleration, a steering angle, a yaw rate, and a position of each of a plurality of vehicles including a first vehicle;
estimating a cant of a travelling road of the first vehicle, based on the vehicle information, the estimating comprising adjusting cant angles based on crosswind blowing information indicating an amount of crosswind on the traveling road; and
storing the estimated cant, in association with information on the position of the first vehicle, in a cant angle database usable by the plurality of vehicles.
2. The cant estimating method according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle information is processed through low-pass filtering before estimating the cant of the travelling road of the first vehicle.
3. The cant estimating method according to claim 1 , wherein when the travelling road of the first vehicle is determined to be a curved road, the cant of the travelling road of the first vehicle is estimated using a turning radius which is calculated based on the vehicle information.
4. The cant estimating method according to claim 1 , further comprising calculating a target steering angle of the first vehicle, based on the cant angle database.
5. A cant estimating apparatus configured to estimate a cant of a travelling road of a vehicle, the cant estimating apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to acquire vehicle information including information on a speed, a lateral acceleration, a steering angle, a yaw rate, and a position of each of a plurality of vehicles including a first vehicle, and estimate a cant of a travelling road of the first vehicle, based on the vehicle information, the estimating comprising adjusting cant angles based on crosswind blowing information indicating an amount of crosswind on the traveling road; and
a storage unit configured to store the estimated cant, in association with information on the position of the first vehicle, in a cant angle database usable by the plurality of vehicles.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, wherein the program comprises instructions to cause a computer to:
acquire vehicle information including information on a speed, a lateral acceleration, a steering angle, a yaw rate, and a position of each of a plurality of vehicles including a first vehicle;
estimate a cant of a travelling road of the first vehicle, based on the vehicle information, the estimating comprising adjusting cant angles based on crosswind blowing information indicating an amount of crosswind on the traveling road; and
store the estimated cant, in association with information on the position of the first vehicle, in a cant angle database usable by the plurality of vehicles.
