Assignee: DENSO CORPORATION
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. A vehicle control device, comprising:
a distance acquisition section that acquires a path end distance, which is a distance between an own vehicle and an end of a turn travel path, which is located in a traveling direction of the own vehicle and on which the own vehicle travels with turning;
a path width acquisition section that acquires a path width of the turn travel path;
a velocity acquisition section that acquires a velocity of the own vehicle;
an anticipated curvature radius acquisition section that acquires, as an anticipated curvature radius, a curvature radius of an anticipated turn travel path based on the path width and the path end distance of a pre-turn position, the pre-turn position comprising a position of the own vehicle prior to a position at which the own vehicle starts to turn for the anticipated turn travel path;
a target velocity setting section that sets a target velocity at which the own vehicle should travel on the turn travel path, based on the anticipated curvature radius;
a target acceleration/deceleration calculation section that calculates a target acceleration/deceleration for accelerating or decelerating the own vehicle to the target velocity, based on the velocity of the own vehicle and the target velocity; and
a vehicle control section that performs acceleration/deceleration control of the own vehicle based on the target acceleration/deceleration.
