Abstract: A backward movement control device performs a backward movement control of an articulated vehicle including a tractor that includes steered wheels and a trailer towed by the tractor. The tractor is equipped with a steering control device that executes feedback control for causing a steered angle of the steered wheels of the tractor to follow a target steered angle. The backward movement control device includes a control unit configured to calculate the target steered angle such that a virtual steered angle follows a target virtual steered angle when a backward movement operation of the articulated vehicle is performed. The virtual steered angle is a steered angle of steered wheels that are virtually present in the trailer if the trailer is regarded as a rigid vehicle. The target virtual steered angle is a target value of the virtual steered angle that is set through a specific operation by an operator.

Abstract: A travel controller recognizes an action of a driver of a vehicle from image data of the driver. The travel controller obtains information indicating that determination of whether autonomous driving of the vehicle is permissible cannot be given. When the information indicating that determination of whether the autonomous driving of the vehicle is permissible cannot be given is obtained, the travel controller operates a human interface to request the driver for an instruction to drive the vehicle. The travel controller determines whether the driver is giving an instruction to drive the vehicle from an action of the driver recognized in response to the request for an instruction to drive the vehicle. When determined in the determination process that the driver is giving an instruction to drive the vehicle, the travel controller operates a drive system of the vehicle to permit autonomous driving of the vehicle.
