Abstract

A driving assistance device performs driving assistance of a vehicle on a basis of surrounding information collected by a plurality of sensors provided in the vehicle. The driving assistance device includes: a route calculation unit configured to calculate a movement route of the vehicle to a target position on a basis of the surrounding information from the plurality of sensors; a switching unit configured to switch settings of an upper limit value of acceleration of the vehicle between a first acceleration limit value and a second acceleration limit value smaller than the first acceleration limit value; and a movement control unit configured to move the vehicle along the movement route while controlling the vehicle at acceleration within the upper limit value set by the switching unit, wherein the switching unit sets the upper limit value of the acceleration of the vehicle to the second acceleration limit value in a case where the vehicle is stopped and a steering angle of the vehicle is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value during control of the vehicle by the movement control unit.

Claims (15)

1 . A driving assistance device that performs driving assistance of a vehicle on a basis of surrounding information collected by a plurality of sensors provided in the vehicle, the driving assistance device comprising:

a route calculation unit configured to calculate a movement route of the vehicle to a target position on a basis of the surrounding information from the plurality of sensors;

a switching unit configured to switch settings of an upper limit value of acceleration of the vehicle between a first acceleration limit value and a second acceleration limit value smaller than the first acceleration limit value; and

a movement control unit configured to move the vehicle along the movement route while controlling the vehicle at acceleration within the upper limit value set by the switching unit, wherein

the switching unit

sets the upper limit value of the acceleration of the vehicle to the second acceleration limit value in a case where the vehicle is stopped and a steering angle of the vehicle is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value during control of the vehicle by the movement control unit.

2 . The driving assistance device according to claim 1 , wherein

the switching unit

sets the upper limit value of the acceleration of the vehicle to the first acceleration limit value when the driving assistance is started.

3 . The driving assistance device according to claim 1 , wherein

the switching unit

switches the upper limit value of the acceleration of the vehicle to the first acceleration limit value when the steering angle becomes less than the threshold value after the upper limit value of the acceleration of the vehicle is set to the second acceleration limit value.

4 . The driving assistance device according to claim 2 , wherein

the switching unit

switches the upper limit value of the acceleration of the vehicle to the first acceleration limit value when the steering angle becomes less than the threshold value after the upper limit value of the acceleration of the vehicle is set to the second acceleration limit value.
