Vehicle Motion Control Apparatus, Vehicle Motion Control Method, and Vehicle Motion Control System

摘要

Provided is a vehicle motion control apparatus of a following vehicle that is non-mechanically linked to a preceding vehicle and thus capable of performing follow-up cruising, comprising a target trajectory acquisition portion configured to acquire a target trajectory for enabling the following vehicle to follow a running trajectory of the preceding vehicle, the target trajectory being generated according to acquired information regarding the preceding vehicle, and an actuator control output portion configured to output to a control portion of an actuator which is associated with the steering, braking, and driving of the following vehicle, a command to follow the preceding vehicle with a closest approach distance from the preceding vehicle maintained at a preset distance according to the target trajectory acquired by the target trajectory acquisition portion.
