Patent ID: 7447573

Claim:
A driving control device for a vehicle comprising: a base station which has been set to a position that has been measured beforehand, for transmitting correction information to each point within a predetermined area based upon an information received from satellites orbiting the Earth; a moving station included in said vehicle for calculating a position of the vehicle based upon an information received from said base station and the information received from said satellites; driving-route storage means for storing a driving route along which said vehicle has moved; and control means wherein at a time of establishment of communication between said base station and said moving station, if determination is made that the a current position of said vehicle calculated by said moving station has been judged as generally matching with any driving route which has been stored previously in said driving-route storage means, said control means sets a target driving route to said driving route stored previously, and performs automatic driving control of said vehicle such that said vehicle reaches a destination according to said target driving route thus set, and on the other hand, if determination is made that the current position of said vehicle calculated by said moving station has been judged as different from any driving routes which have been stored previously in said driving-route storage means, said control means continuously stores the driving route including the current position, along which said vehicle is moving, in said driving-route storage means.
