A travel control method is provided, in which a subject vehicle is controlled to autonomously travel on a road including intersections, the travel control method comprising: determining whether or not an intersection for the subject vehicle to seek to pass straight through is an offset intersection that is offset to the right or left with respect to a direction straight ahead of the subject vehicle; and when the intersection is an offset intersection, controlling the subject vehicle to pass through the intersection at a lower speed than when the intersection is not an offset intersection.

Travel control method and travel control device for vehicle

A driving assistance method for controlling an own vehicle by a controller in such a way that the own vehicle travels along a target travel trajectory includes: acquiring level-difference information of a level difference existing along a lane in which the own vehicle travels; and when, from the level-difference information, determining that the own vehicle is to climb over the level difference, generating the target travel trajectory in such a way that a level-difference climbing-over angle, which is an angle formed by the level difference and the target travel trajectory, is larger than a threshold value.

Driving assistance method and driving assistance device

A processor of a braking control device determines whether or not a moving object is detected in a predetermined region downstream an expected stop position, and when determining that a moving object is detected in the predetermined region, changes a deceleration decrease position, which is a start position of a deceleration decrease section, upstream relative to that when determining that no moving object is detected in the predetermined region.

Braking control method and braking control device

A travel support method for a vehicle comprises estimating a position of a subject vehicle, generating a subject vehicle traveling route, based on the estimated position of the subject vehicle and map information, calculating a degree of first reliability indicating reliability of the subject vehicle traveling route, detecting a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of the subject vehicle, generating a preceding vehicle traveling route, calculating a degree of second reliability indicating reliability of the preceding vehicle traveling route, based on the preceding vehicle traveling route, calculating, based on the degrees of the first reliability and second reliability, an integration ratio for integrating the subject vehicle traveling route and the preceding vehicle traveling route, calculating a target traveling route of the subject vehicle by integrating the subject vehicle traveling route and the preceding vehicle traveling route at the integration ratio, and controlling the subject vehicle based on the target traveling route.

Travel assistance method and travel assistance device

A travel assisting method for a vehicle which is executed by a processor, comprising: generating a vehicle speed command value based on vehicle information of a subject vehicle; calculating the vehicle speed command value at a predetermined time (a look-ahead time) ahead of a current time based on information of a feature existing ahead of the subject vehicle in a travelling direction, as a look-ahead vehicle speed command value; and controlling the subject vehicle based on the look-ahead vehicle speed command value. Further, a lighting state of a traffic light located around the subject vehicle is detected, and the look-ahead time is set based on the lighting state.

A parking assistance device generates a route along which a vehicle is to travel to a parking spot via a reversing position. The parking assistance device looks up attitude angles of the vehicle at the reversing position based on the width of the vehicle passage to enable generation of the route in which a front portion of the vehicle will not interfere at the reversing position with an obstacle adjacent to the vehicle passage in a width direction thereof.
