Automatic steering control is essential part for autonomous vehicle which controls the steering in various scenarios to achieve safe and comfortable driving. The present subject matter discloses a system and method for steering control during autonomous vehicle driving using neural networks. In an embodiment, a lane side offset, a radius of curvature and a speed of a vehicle are received. Further, an ideal steering angle required to keep the vehicle at a center of a lane is determined using the radius of curvature. Furthermore, an offset error is determined based on the lane side offset using a reference offset. In addition, a corrective steering angle is determined using the radius of curvature, speed of the vehicle and offset error. Also, a steering angle required to keep the vehicle at a center of a lane is computed using the ideal steering angle and the corrective steering angle.

Vehicle control device and vehicle control method

A lane information detection unit detects the shape and the road width of a traveling lane of a vehicle. A present transverse position detection unit detects a present transverse position indicating a present traveling position of the vehicle in the width direction of the traveling lane. A driver-corresponding transverse position setting unit sets a driver-corresponding transverse position corresponding to a driving tendency of a driver. An upper/lower limit value setting unit sets upper/lower limit values that the driver-corresponding transverse position can take, in accordance with the road width. Then, when change in the road width is detected, a transverse position control amount calculation unit sets, as a target transverse position, the driver-corresponding transverse position within the upper/lower limit values in which the change is reflected, and calculates a transverse position control amount for the vehicle from the present transverse position of the vehicle.
