Vehicle drive control device, vehicle control system, and vehicle control method

Abstract

Provided is a vehicle drive control device capable of appropriately determining a signal state of a traffic signal and, in a case where there is a collision possibility with another object, suitably determining a warning to an own vehicle driver and/or vehicle control of the own vehicle in consideration of a signal information determination result. A vehicle drive control deviceincludes a signal state determination unitthat acquires, a plurality of times over a predetermined time, signal recognition information recognized by a signal information recognition unitand determines a state of a signal based on the acquired signal recognition information, and a collision determination unitthat determines a possibility of collision between an own vehicleand an other vehiclebased on information on the other vehiclearound the own vehicle recognized by an other vehicle recognition unit. When determining that there is a possibility of collision between the own vehicleand the other vehicle, the collision determination unitperforms a warning to the driver of the own vehicleand/or vehicle control of the own vehiclebased on a signal state determination result of the signal state determination unit
