Provided is a vehicle control device capable of preventing a delay in driver's bank angle operation during traveling of a straddle type vehicle on a curve and enhancing safety of the vehicle. The vehicle control deviceis a device that is mounted on a two-wheeled motor vehicle and controls the vehicle to travel while following a preceding vehicle. The vehicle control deviceincludes a curvature acquisition unitthat acquires a curvature of a road in front of the vehicle and a driving force control unitthat limits a change amount of driving force of the vehicle per unit time based on the curvature acquired by the curvature acquisition unit

Vehicle control device

The present invention provides a vehicle control device capable of avoiding a problem due to insufficient energy remaining in a vehicle in a parking lot. The vehicle control deviceincludes a remaining energy amount calculation unit, a parking lot information acquisition unit, a prediction unit, a required energy amount calculation unit, and a parking determination unit. The remaining energy amount calculation unitcalculates a remaining amount of energy of a vehicle V. The parking lot information acquisition unitacquires map information and other vehicles information of a parking lot. The prediction unitpredicts a traveling speed and a movement time of the vehicle V at the time of entry and exit. The required energy amount calculation unitcalculates a required amount of energy. The parking determination unitdetermines whether or not the vehicle V can be parked based on the remaining amount of energy and the required amount of energy.

Vehicle control device, vehicle control center, and parking assistance system

There are provided a vehicle control device and a vehicle control system capable of improving efficiency and reliability of auto valet parking compared to the related art when a communication failure occurs. A vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle includes a recognition unit, an estimation unit, a communication unit, a determination unit, a trajectory generation unit, a vehicle control unit, and a retreated position decision unit. When the determination unit determines that communication of the communication unit is abnormal, the trajectory generation unit generates a target trajectory along which the vehicle drives to a retreated position decided by the retreated position decision unit.

Vehicle control device and vehicle control system

When an automatic parking function and an automatic driving function are provided in the same system, a vehicle stops for parking trajectory calculation when switching between an automatic driving mode and an automatic parking mode is performed, and thus, there is concern that a driver is likely to feel discomfort with this stop. A surrounding environment recognition unit, a host vehicle position detection unit, an automatic driving trajectory calculation unit that calculates an automatic driving trajectory based on a current position and a surrounding environment of the host vehicle and a destination input result, a parking section detection calculation unit that detects a parking space around a destination based on the surrounding environment of the host vehicle, an automatic parking trajectory calculation unit that calculates an automatic parking trajectory along which the host vehicle is parked in the parking space, and a transition mode trajectory calculation unit that calculates a transition mode trajectory based on the automatic parking trajectory and the surrounding environment are provided. The automatic parking trajectory calculation unit calculates the automatic parking trajectory while the host vehicle is tracking the transition mode trajectory.
