Vehicle travel control device

Abstract

A vehicle travel control device includes computation circuitry, and a device controller that controls actuation of a traveling device mounted on a vehicle, based on a result from the computation circuitry. The computation circuitry identifies a vehicle outdoor environment based on an output from image circuitry that acquires image information of vehicle outdoor environment, sets a route on which the vehicle is to travel, in accordance with the vehicle outdoor environment previously identified, determines a target motion of the vehicle to follow the route previously set, calculates a target physical quantity to be executed by the traveling device to achieve the target motion previously determined, and calculates a controlled variable of the traveling device such that the target physical quantity calculated is achieved, and the device controller outputs a control signal to the traveling device so as to control the traveling device to control a motion of the vehicle.
