Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a controller that sets a target area, and that executes a lane change of the host vehicle toward the set target area, the target area being an area which is a target for the host vehicle when performing the lane change to an adjacent lane which is adjacent to an own traffic lane on which the host vehicle is traveling, and a direction indicator controller that determines a timing for operating a direction indicator installed on the host vehicle on the basis of a relative relationship between the host vehicle and a vehicle that is traveling in front of or at rear of the target area set by the controller and the host vehicle.
Claims18
A vehicle control system comprising:
- a controller that sets a target area, and that executes a lane change of a host vehicle toward the set target area, the target area being an area which is a target for the host vehicle when performing the lane change to an adjacent lane which is adjacent to an own traffic lane on which the host vehicle is traveling;
- and
- a direction indicator controller that determines a timing for operating a direction indicator installed on the host vehicle on the basis of a relative relationship between the host vehicle and a vehicle that is traveling in front of or at rear of the target area set by the controller, and that operates the direction indicator on the basis of the timing,
- wherein, in a case the target area set by the controller is present at rear of a reference position of the host vehicle, the direction indicator controller determines a timing to operate the direction indicator to a timing or after in which a position of the direction indicator provided at a rear end of the host vehicle becomes rearward than a reference position of a vehicle which is traveling in front of the target area in an advance direction of the host vehicle, the reference position of the vehicle traveling in front of the target area being a position of a driver.

- and
- a direction indicator controller that determines a timing for operating a direction indicator installed on the host vehicle on the basis of a relative relationship between the host vehicle and a vehicle that is traveling in front of or at rear of the target area set by the controller, and that operates the direction indicator on the basis of the timing,
- wherein, in a case the target area set by the controller is present in front of a reference position on the host vehicle, the direction indicator controller determines a timing to operate the direction indicator to a timing or after in which a position of the direction indicator provided at a front end of the host vehicle becomes forward than a reference position of a vehicle which is traveling at rear of the target area in the advance direction of the host vehicle, the reference position of the vehicle traveling at rear of the target area being a position of a driver.

- and
- a direction indicator controller that determines a timing for operating a direction indicator installed on the host vehicle on the basis of a relative relationship between the host vehicle and a vehicle that is traveling in front of or at rear of the target area set by the controller, and that operates the direction indicator on the basis of the timing,
- wherein the controller determines whether the lane change of the host vehicle to the set target area is possible, and when it is determined that the lane change is not possible, changes the target area to in front of the vehicle traveling in front of the set target area or to at rear of the vehicle traveling at rear of the set target area, and
- when the target area is changed by the controller, the direction indicator controller determines to continuously operate the direction indicator installed on the host vehicle until the lane change of the host vehicle with respect to the changed target area is terminated.
