Abstract
A mobile body such as an automobile is controlled to move substantially along a target path by a control system. The control system determines a target point on the target path, a control quantity such as a yaw rate to reach the target point to cause the mobile body to reach the target point from an optional position, the direction in which the mobile body moves at the target point based on the control quantity to reach the target point, the angular difference between the direction and the target path at the target point as a target point angular difference, and a target control quantity such as a target yaw rate for the mobile body by correcting the control quantity to reach the target point based on the target point angular difference. The mobile body is controlled based on the target control quantity.
