Abstract
A control device and method in which, even when a road deviation operation is performed continuously near a road boundary where sidewalk/road separating blocks are discontinuously lined up, discontinuity does not occur in the control input, and unwanted vehicle behavior does not occur. The sizes of obstacles present around a host vehicle, as well as their relative positions and relative speeds with respect to the host vehicle are detected. An obstacle link length that serves as a determination criterion for virtual linking of obstacles is set. A gap position interpolation process is performed with respect to the linked obstacles. A search is performed as to whether or not there exists a control subject for which collision is to be avoided. A yaw moment for avoiding an obstacle is calculated based on position information of the avoidance control subject.
