Abstract
A prediction control device controls an actuator for automatic driving of a vehicle including: a command value generation unit generating an operation amount for the actuator and an operation amount candidate as a predicted value; an output prediction unit outputting a control amount candidate as a predicted value corresponding to the actuator output by using an operation model; an evaluation function calculation unit expressing constraint conditions for the automatic driving; a situation degree detection obtaining a measure of giving priority to ride comfort or giving priority to danger avoidance of an own vehicle while traveling; and a responsiveness adjusting unit obtaining a next operation amount candidate from the situation degree from the situation degree detection unit. The operation command value generation unit generates an operation amount for the actuator, and the responsiveness adjusting unit adjusts the output of the evaluation function according to the situation degree.
