Processing method, processing system, and storage medium storing processing program

A processing method executed by a processor to perform processing related to driving control of a host vehicle, the processing method comprising:

• acquiring detection information describing a state detected in a traveling environment of the host vehicle;
• determining a situation to be monitored for the host vehicle based on the detection information;
• setting a safety envelope based on the detection information to include defining a physics based boundary, margin, or buffer area around the host vehicle;
• setting a limit value for an acceleration based on the safety envelope and a positional relationship between the host vehicle and a target vehicle;
• and
• monitoring a violation of the safety envelope based on a comparison between the limit value for the acceleration and an acceleration of the host vehicle and a comparison between a speed of the host vehicle and a limit value for the speed, wherein
• at least one of the limit value for the acceleration and the limit value for the speed is a limit value for traveling in compliance with a regulation set for road traveling.

A processing system that performs processing related to driving control of a host vehicle, the processing system comprising:

• a processor that is configured to:
• acquire detection information describing a state detected in a traveling environment of the host vehicle;
• determine a situation to be monitored for the host vehicle based on the detection information;
• set a safety envelope based on the detection information to include defining a physics based boundary, margin, or buffer area around the host vehicle;
• monitor a violation of the safety envelope based on a comparison between the safety envelope and a positional relationship between the host vehicle and a target moving object;
• and
• determine a rule for setting the safety envelope, which includes a restriction rule to be applied when an application condition is satisfied and a standard rule to be applied when the application condition is not satisfied, based on a determination result of whether the application condition is satisfied.
