Abstract
A processing method, which is executed by a processor for performing processing related to driving control of a host vehicle, includes: acquiring detection information indicating a state detected in a traveling environment of the host vehicle; setting a safety envelope, wherein the setting of the safety envelope includes defining a boundary, a margin, or a buffer area around the host vehicle; and monitoring a violation of the safety envelope based on a comparison of the safety envelope and a positional relationship between the host vehicle and a target vehicle. When the target vehicle is a front vehicle and the host vehicle is a rear vehicle, the safety envelope is calculated based on a velocity and a maximum deceleration of the front vehicle, and a velocity, a maximum acceleration, and a minimum deceleration of the rear vehicle. The minimum deceleration of the rear vehicle is set to be equal to or less than the maximum deceleration of the front vehicle.
