    摘要: A vehicle controller includes a memory configured to store map information including information on a predetermined area used in autonomous driving control of a vehicle; and a processor configured to: refer to the map information to identify an autonomous-driving practicable point at which a planned travel route from the current position of the vehicle outside the predetermined area to a destination of the vehicle enters the predetermined area, calculate a manual-driving section length from the current position of the vehicle to the autonomous-driving practicable point along the planned travel route, and notify the calculated manual-driving section length to a driver of the vehicle via a notification device provided in the interior of the vehicle.

    摘要: A map information output device includes: a rule selector sequentially selecting one road selection rule from a plurality of road selection rules based on route guidance information; a target road selector for (i) selecting a target road for constructing control map information based on the road selection rule selected by the rule selector and a position of a vehicle, and (ii) selecting another target road for constructing control map information based on another road selection rule different from the road selection rule selected by the rule selector, respective for automatic drive control; a map information constructor sequentially constructing the control map information; and a map information output unit sequentially outputting the control map information, which determines the control map information to be output based on whether or not the vehicle is traveling on a route to be traveled.

    摘要: A route selection device includes a processor configured to identify a position of a lane on which a vehicle is traveling; search for candidate partial routes leading from a current position of the vehicle to a waypoint on a route leading from a start point to a destination, the waypoint being located between the current position and the destination; determine a lane change location where a lane change will be made for each of the candidate partial routes found by searching; and select, as a partial route, a candidate partial route having a minimum total score regarding the lane change location from the candidate partial routes found by searching. The score is weighted depending on the position of the determined lane change location or whether a lane change at the lane change location can be controlled by a travel controller.

    摘要: A travel controller identifies a current lane on which a vehicle is traveling in a first lane zone traveled by the vehicle and including lanes, and detects a non-lane zone within a predetermined distance ahead of a current position of the vehicle. The non-lane zone lacks lanes and lies between the first lane zone and a second lane zone including fewer lanes than the first lane zone. Of the lanes included in the second lane zone, the travel controller identifies a lane having a start point whose distance from an end point of the current lane is the shortest, and preferentially selects, as a route in the non-lane zone, a route connecting the end point of the current lane and the start point of the lane identified in the second lane zone.
