Automatic operation control plan formulation device and automatic operation control plan formulation method

摘要

The automatic operation control plan creation unit (11) prepares an operation switching preparation that is a section for switching the own vehicle from the automatic operation to the manual operation at the end of the automatic operation section and the plan of the automatic operation section that is the section in which the own vehicle is automatically operated. Create an automatic operation control plan including the section plan. The driving load calculation unit (12) calculates the driving load applied to the driver when the driver manually drives the host vehicle at each point in the driving switching preparation section. The driving switching permission determination unit (13) permits the switching from automatic driving to manual driving of the host vehicle at a point where the driving load is smaller than a predetermined threshold, and the driving switching permission determination unit (13) Do not allow switching from automatic operation to manual operation. The permission standard mitigation unit (14) relaxes the standard for permitting switching from automatic driving to manual driving of the own vehicle by making it difficult for the driving load to exceed the threshold as the own vehicle approaches the end point of the driving switching preparation section. To do.
