  • Patent number: 12103555
    Abstract: A vehicle motion control device generates a travel route where behavior of a vehicle traveling on a curve is small and comfortable ride is achieved even when the vehicle travels on a continuous curve. The control device includes a travel track generation unit that generates, based on information on a curvature of a first curve on a lane existing in a traveling direction of a vehicle and a curvature of a second curve connected to the first curve, a travel route by setting curvature of the travel route at a time of traveling on a curve having a smaller curvature between the first and second curves to be larger than the curvature of the curve and setting a curvature of the travel route at a time of traveling on a curve having a larger curvature between the first and second curves to be smaller than the curvature of the curve.

  • Publication number: 20240246562
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vehicle motion control device configured to set speed of an own vehicle in consideration of not only nearby information of the own vehicle but also long-distance information of the own vehicle, so as to reduce an unexpected behavior of the vehicle occurring during travel. The vehicle motion control device includes: a nearby information acquisition unit configured to acquire nearby information of a vehicle; a long-distance information acquisition unit configured to acquire long-distance information of the vehicle; and a speed planning unit configured to generate a speed command value as a travel target of the vehicle, based on the nearby information and the long-distance information.
