  • Publication number: 20240142993
    Abstract: A self-position estimation device includes a peripheral object information acquisition unit acquiring peripheral object information, a storage unit storing map information and dynamic object information, a dynamic object determination unit, and a self-position estimation unit. The dynamic object information includes fixed portion information and movable portion information. The dynamic object determination unit determines whether or not the dynamic object exists around the moving body by collating the peripheral object information with the fixed portion information, when the dynamic object determination unit determines that the dynamic object exists around the moving body, the self-position estimation unit estimates the position of the moving body in the map information by excluding the portion corresponding to the dynamic object from the peripheral object information and collating the map information with the peripheral object information.

  • Publication number: 20240010193
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes a host vehicle position recognizer, a moving object recognizer, a map database, an influence recognizer configured to recognize an influence of a moving object around the host vehicle traveling along a target path of the host vehicle, and a vehicle controller configured to decelerate the host vehicle to avoid collision with the moving object based on the influence. Map information includes area information regarding a plurality of areas on the map for specifying the moving object that is a target of recognizing the influence. When the host vehicle position satisfies predetermined host vehicle position conditions set in advance for each area, the influence recognizer recognizes the influence of the moving object present in the area where the host vehicle position satisfies the host vehicle position conditions, based on the host vehicle position, the area information, and the recognition result from the moving object recognizer.
