Abstract
A scheduled motion plan for a vehicle which satisfies constraints and demanded specifications in consideration of the performance of the control system on condition that the control system which is conventionally used is used is made. To guide and control the motion of the vehicle on the basis of the plan, an apparatus for planning the motion of the vehicle has an onboard simulator containing a dynamic model and guidance and control model, a simulation condition setting unit for setting simulation conditions of the onboard simulator, an analyzer for evaluating a simulation result by the onboard simulator, and a scheduler for making a motion plan. The apparatus sets an ideal velocity at a position on the basis of constraints and demanded specifications, compares it with a position, a velocity, or the simulation result, judges a plan type, and sets the simulation conditions 180 for the plan type.
