Abstract
A vehicle control method includes: detecting a blocking object that is at a position at which the blocking object obstructs travel of the tracked vehicle in a traffic lane in which the tracked vehicle is traveling and that hides at least part of the traffic lane from the sensor, and an oncoming vehicle traveling in a direction toward the tracked vehicle in an oncoming lane opposite from the traffic lane; and slowing down the vehicle when the oncoming vehicle slows down.
Claims7
A vehicle control method using a sensor detecting position information on an object around a vehicle and a control circuit controlling the vehicle according to a tracked vehicle detected based on the position information, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the control circuit, a blocking object that is at a position at which the blocking object obstructs travel of the tracked vehicle in a traffic lane in which the tracked vehicle is traveling and that hides at least part of the traffic lane from the sensor, and an oncoming vehicle traveling in a direction toward the tracked vehicle in an oncoming lane opposite from the traffic lane;
- and
- slowing down the vehicle by the control circuit when the oncoming vehicle slows down.
A vehicle controller comprising:
- a sensor detecting position information on an object around a vehicle;
- and
- a control circuit controlling the vehicle according to a tracked vehicle detected based on the position information, wherein
- the control circuit detects a blocking object that is at a position at which the blocking object obstructs travel of the tracked vehicle in a traffic lane in which the tracked vehicle is traveling and that hides at least part of the traffic lane from the sensor, and an oncoming vehicle traveling in a direction toward the tracked vehicle in an oncoming lane opposite from the traffic lane, and
- the control circuit slows down the vehicle when the oncoming vehicle slows down.
