Abstract:
A deceleration control system includes: a travel distance acquisition unit configured to acquire a travel distance measured by a sensor of a vehicle; a measured distance recording unit configured to record a measured distance in a recording medium for each travel road segment through which the vehicle travels, the measured distance being the travel distance from a predetermined measurement start position; a reference position setting unit configured to set a reference position based on the measured distance and a deceleration position in which the vehicle decelerates, the reference position being a position located on the near side of the deceleration position by a predetermined reference distance; and a deceleration control unit configured to perform deceleration control based on the travel distance from the reference position.
Abstract:
A travel assist system, a travel assist method, and a computer program that prevent frequent corrections of a travel plan due to variations in congestion information are provided. Congestion information is acquired from a VICS center. The current state of a vehicle is acquired. It is determined whether or not the congestion status of an expected travel route for the vehicle has been varied from the congestion information using a criterion based on the state of the vehicle. In the case where it is determined that the congestion status of the expected travel route has been varied, the travel plan 48 is corrected using the congestion status after the variation.
