Claims20
A vehicle controller that controls a vehicle, the vehicle controller comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- generate an evacuation route for evacuating the vehicle to the road shoulder area on the basis of road information, and
- control travel of the vehicle such that the vehicle travels on the evacuation route, wherein the road information includes first information on a width of a road shoulder area along an end of the road in a width direction.
A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining information on a road ahead of the vehicle in an advancing direction;
- generating an evacuation route for evacuating the vehicle to the road shoulder area on the basis of the road information, wherein the road information includes first information on a width of a road shoulder area along an end of the road in a width direction;
- and
- controlling travel of the vehicle such that the vehicle travels on the evacuation route.
A non-transitory computer readable storage including computer readable instructions that when executed by a controller cause the controller to execute a method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining information on a road ahead of the vehicle in an advancing direction;
- generating an evacuation route for evacuating the vehicle to the road shoulder area on the basis of the road information, wherein the road information includes first information on a width of a road shoulder area along an end of the road in a width direction;
- and
- controlling travel of the vehicle such that the vehicle travels on the evacuation route.
