The present disclosure is a vehicle control system including: a detection section that detects a nearby object present in the surroundings of a vehicle; a generation section that generates a safety focused course focusing on safety and a plan achievability focused course focusing on fidelity to a preset plan, based on a position of a nearby object detected by the detection section; an evaluation/selection section that selects one course from out of the safety focused course or the plan achievability focused course generated by the generation section, based on a situation in the surroundings in which the vehicle is present; and a travel control section that automatically controls at least one from out of acceleration/deceleration or steering of the vehicle based on the course selected by the evaluation/selection section.

An autonomous system includes a vehicle operable to travel from a first point to a second point, a first actuator operable to adjust a speed of the vehicle, and a second actuator operable to adjust a direction of travel of the vehicle. A controller is operable to send control signals to the first actuator and the second actuator to facilitate the transition of the system from a first state to a second state during travel between the first point and the second point. A reachability controller is coupled to the controller to receive the first state and the control signals and to analyze the first state and the control signals to determine if the second state is a safe state.

A method for controlling a vehicle using a toy device in an Automated Vehicle & Highway system (AVHS). The method is performed by a control device and includes: identifying the toy device in the vehicle; when the toy device is identified, receiving GUI information from the toy device or a GUI server device; preparing a specific scenario or driving mode based on the GUI information; controlling a vehicle state based on information on the specific scenario or driving mode; and when termination information is received, controlling the vehicle state based on autonomous driving information. Implementations disclosed herein enable moving to a desired destination and enjoying 4D content at the same time through the vehicle in the AVHS. An autonomous vehicle, user terminal, and/or server according to the present invention may be associated with an artificial intelligence module, robot, augmented reality (AR) device, virtual reality (VR) device, etc.

A method for conducting a motor vehicle in an at least partially automated manner includes generating and outputting a plurality of approach signals for controlling a transverse and/or a longitudinal conduction of the motor vehicle in order to conduct the motor vehicle in at least a partially automated manner in such a way that the motor vehicle approaches a traffic junction. The method includes receiving a plurality of environmental signals which represent an environment of the motor vehicle while it approaches the traffic junction. The method determines, based on the environmental signals that the motor vehicle may continue to further approach the traffic junction, must stop, and/or must retreat. The method generates and outputs control signals for controlling the transverse and/or longitudinal conduction of the motor vehicle in order to conduct the motor vehicle in at least a partially automated manner according to the determining process.

A vehicle control processor and method capable of preventing departure to an off-road, to reduce driver discomfort, irritation and stress. The control processor calculates a width of a side strip between a left mark line and a road end based on information from a camera. When the width is wider than a specified width, steering torque based on first and second steering characteristics are exerted. The steering torque based on the first steering characteristic is exerted when a vehicle lateral end is located within a range from a left mark line outer end to a characteristic switching position, set in accordance with the width of the side strip between the left mark line and the road end, and the steering torque based on the second steering characteristic is exerted when the vehicle lateral end is located within a range from the characteristic switching position to the road end.

A remote operation device (2) for remotely operating a transport vehicle (1) includes: a first operation unit (2a); and a control unit (24) configured to wirelessly transmit a command signal for causing the transport vehicle (1) to travel a prescribed distance to the transport vehicle (1) every time the first operation unit (2a) is operated.

Provided are a method and apparatus for creating a driving route of an autonomous vehicle and a computer program therefor. A method of creating a driving route of an autonomous vehicle, the method being performed by a computing device, includes obtaining information about a start point and an end point, setting an intermediate point between the start point and the end point, and creating a driving route by connecting the start point, the set intermediate point, and the end point, wherein the driving route includes a set of a curve connecting the start point and the set intermediate point and a curve connecting the set intermediate point and the end point, is expressed by a polynomial function for an angle of movement of the autonomous vehicle, and satisfies one or more continuity conditions related to a curvature.
