  • Patent number: 11780455
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a vehicle control device, a vehicle control method, and a recording medium. The vehicle control device according to one aspect of an embodiment includes a recognition unit that recognizes an object in a periphery of the own vehicle, a road information acquisition unit that acquires road information in the periphery of the own vehicle, and an alarm control unit that causes an alarm device to give an alarm when the object recognized by the recognition unit exists in a predetermined region set with reference to a position of the own vehicle, in which the alarm control unit does not give the alarm regarding the object when at least part of the object existing in the predetermined region recognized by the recognition unit exists outside a road from a boundary the road where the own vehicle acquired by the road information acquisition unit exists.

  • Publication number: 20220176956
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a first obtaining part obtaining gripping information indicating a driver of a vehicle is gripping a steering wheel; a second obtaining part obtaining operation information indicating the driver is performing a driving operation; a recognition part recognizing a road marking line of a lane traveled by the vehicle; and a support part providing a support so that the vehicle does not deviate from the road marking line when a deviation probability is greater than or equal to a predetermined degree. The support part delays an operation of the support when the gripping information is obtained and the operation information is not obtained, as compared with a case where the gripping information and the operation information are not obtained, and suppresses the operation of the support for a predetermined time when the operation information is obtained regardless of whether the gripping information is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20220161794
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a recognition part recognizing a first road marking line on a first side of a lane traveled by a vehicle; an obtaining part obtaining information on a second road marking line on the first side of the lane from map information; and a support part that executes a support processing for preventing the vehicle from deviating from a road marking line when a probability that the vehicle deviates from the road marking line is greater than or equal to a predetermined degree. When a degree of matching between a first position of the first road marking line and a second position of the second road marking line is less than or equal to a first threshold value, the support part suppresses execution of the support processing for preventing the vehicle from deviating from a road marking line on the first side.
