Vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and storage medium
According to an embodiment, a vehicle control device includes a first recognizer configured to recognize a first marking for defining a travel lane of a vehicle on the basis of an output of a detection device that has detected a surrounding situation of the vehicle, a second recognizer configured to recognize a second marking for defining the travel lane on the basis of position information and map information of the vehicle, a corrector configured to correct the second marking on the basis of road gradient information of a travel direction of the vehicle, and a lane decider configured to decide on a travel lane of the vehicle on the basis of a comparison result between the first marking and the second marking corrected by the corrector.
1 . A vehicle control device comprising:
a first recognizer configured to recognize a first marking that defines a travel lane of a vehicle on a basis of an output of a detection device that has detected a surrounding situation of the vehicle;
a second recognizer configured to recognize a second marking that defines the travel lane on a basis of position information and map information of the vehicle;
a corrector configured to correct the second marking on a basis of first road gradient information of a travel direction of the vehicle, resulting in a corrected second marking;
a lane decider configured to decide on a travel lane of the vehicle on a basis of a comparison result between the first marking and the corrected second marking; and
a driving controller configured to, on a basis of the travel lane decided on by the lane decider, execute driving control that controls at least one of steering of the vehicle or a speed of the vehicle.
2 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the corrector corrects a position of the second marking further on a basis of second road gradient information of the second marking included in the map information.
3 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the corrector is further configured to correct the travel lane of the vehicle defined by the second marking, on the basis of the first road gradient information.
4 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the driving control comprises:
a first driving mode, and
a second driving mode having at least one of:
a heavier task imposed on a driver of the vehicle than the first driving mode, or
having a lower driving assistance degree for the driver than the first driving mode, and
wherein the driving controller switches the driving mode from the first driving mode to the second driving mode when, in a state in which the first driving mode is being executed, a deviation degree between the first marking and the second marking is greater than or equal to a threshold value.
5 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the corrector corrects the second marking when a gradient degree included in the first road gradient information is greater than or equal to a threshold value.
6 . The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the corrector is further configured to suppress correction of the second marking when:
the vehicle is located in a gradient segment, and
a gradient change point is not located within a prescribed distance in the travel direction of the vehicle.
7 . A vehicle control method comprising:
on a basis of an output of a detection device, representative of a surrounding situation of a vehicle, recognizing, by a computer, a first marking that defines a travel lane of the vehicle;
on a basis of position information and map information of the vehicle, recognizing, by the computer, a second marking for defining that further defines the travel lane;
on the basis of the first road gradient information, correcting, by the computer, the second marking, resulting in a corrected second marking;
on a basis of a comparison result between the first marking and the corrected second marking, determining, by the computer, a determined travel lane of the vehicle; and
on a basis of the determined travel lane, executing driving control of the vehicle to control at least one of steering of the vehicle or a speed of the vehicle.
8 . A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to:
recognize a first marking for defining a travel lane of a vehicle on a basis of an output of a detection device that has detected a surrounding situation of the vehicle;
recognize a second marking for defining the travel lane on a basis of position information and map information of the vehicle;
correct the second marking on a basis of road gradient information of a travel direction of the vehicle, resulting in a corrected second marking;
decide on a travel lane of the vehicle on a basis of a comparison result of comparing the first marking and the corrected second marking; and
execute driving control of the vehicle to control at least one of steering of the vehicle or a speed of the vehicle.
