Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus, a vehicle control method, and a vehicle control system according to the present invention each acquire information related to a positional difference in a transverse direction between a target trajectory of a vehicle and an actual trajectory of the vehicle, estimate an amount of disturbance corresponding to the positional difference in the transverse direction by using the information related to the positional difference in the transverse direction, and obtain a control command by using the amount of disturbance as an aspect thereof. The control command is for causing the vehicle to track the target trajectory. This makes it possible to accurately estimate the amount of disturbance and increase the performance of tracking the target trajectory.
