CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

A control device mounted on a mobile object acquires surrounding situation information indicating a surrounding situation of a mobile object recognized by an object recognition device mounted on the mobile object, detects a predetermined reference object present in a traveling direction of the mobile object on the basis of the surrounding situation information, identifies a travelable area of the mobile object on the basis of the surrounding situation information, controls traveling of the mobile object such that the mobile object travels in the travelable area, causes the mobile object to move closer to the reference object when the reference object is detected, and detects an accompanying object accompanying the reference object on the basis of the surrounding situation information recognized by the object recognition device after the mobile object moves closer to the reference object, and identifying the travelable area by excluding the reference object and the accompanying object.

Driving assist method and driving assist device

A driving assist method minimizes an incidence of lane changing within a circulatory roadway. In this driving assist method, a recognition assessment processor assesses the travel of a host vehicle, calculates a travel route over which the host vehicle is to travel, and executes a driving assist control based on the travel route. The recognition assessment processor further assesses whether the host vehicle has arrived at a roundabout having a circulatory roadway to which three or more radial roadways are connected. When an assessment has been made that the host vehicle has arrived at the roundabout, a position of a host vehicle entrance and a position of a host vehicle exit are specified. Furthermore, an entrance position is set based on a positional relationship between the host vehicle entrance and the host vehicle exit.
