A driving control apparatus for a vehicle, the driving control apparatus comprising an automated operation device for executing automated driving by remote monitoring and control, having a risk mitigation function that executes risk mitigation control for stopping the vehicle at a target stopping location in a case of communication fault with a remote-control base station for remote monitoring and control, wherein the automated operation device is configured: to generate a target path of the automated driving to a final destination on the basis of location information about the vehicle and map information; characterized in that the autonomous operation device is further configured: to execute a search for target stopping location candidates on the basis of location information about the vehicle and map information during the automated driving along the target path in preparation for activation of the risk mitigation function; in a case in which the risk mitigation function is activated in the vicinity of an intersection, to calculate a risk factor expressing how high a risk is for the vehicle to reach a target stopping location candidate from a current location for each of a plurality of target stopping location candidates (T1, T2, T3, T4) including a target stopping location candidate located on a path different from the target path of the automated driving; and to select, as the target stopping location, a target stopping location candidate with a lowest risk factor from among the plurality of target stopping location candidates. a risk mitigation function that executes risk mitigation control for stopping the vehicle at a target stopping location in a case of communication fault with a remote-control base station for remote monitoring and control, wherein the automated operation device is configured: to generate a target path of the automated driving to a final destination on the basis of location information about the vehicle and map information; characterized in that the autonomous operation device is further configured: to execute a search for target stopping location candidates on the basis of location information about the vehicle and map information during the automated driving along the target path in preparation for activation of the risk mitigation function; in a case in which the risk mitigation function is activated in the vicinity of an intersection, to calculate a risk factor expressing how high a risk is for the vehicle to reach a target stopping location candidate from a current location for each of a plurality of target stopping location candidates (T1, T2, T3, T4) including a target stopping location candidate located on a path different from the target path of the automated driving; and to select, as the target stopping location, a target stopping location candidate with a lowest risk factor from among the plurality of target stopping location candidates. to generate a target path of the automated driving to a final destination on the basis of location information about the vehicle and map information; characterized in that the autonomous operation device is further configured: to execute a search for target stopping location candidates on the basis of location information about the vehicle and map information during the automated driving along the target path in preparation for activation of the risk mitigation function; in a case in which the risk mitigation function is activated in the vicinity of an intersection, to calculate a risk factor expressing how high a risk is for the vehicle to reach a target stopping location candidate from a current location for each of a plurality of target stopping location candidates (T1, T2, T3, T4) including a target stopping location candidate located on a path different from the target path of the automated driving; and to select, as the target stopping location, a target stopping location candidate with a lowest risk factor from among the plurality of target stopping location candidates. to execute a search for target stopping location candidates on the basis of location information about the vehicle and map information during the automated driving along the target path in preparation for activation of the risk mitigation function; in a case in which the risk mitigation function is activated in the vicinity of an intersection, to calculate a risk factor expressing how high a risk is for the vehicle to reach a target stopping location candidate from a current location for each of a plurality of target stopping location candidates (T1, T2, T3, T4) including a target stopping location candidate located on a path different from the target path of the automated driving; and to select, as the target stopping location, a target stopping location candidate with a lowest risk factor from among the plurality of target stopping location candidates.
