VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND OWN VEHICLE POSITION ESTIMATING METHOD

Abstract:

A vehicle control system includes a movement amount calculating unit configured to calculate a movement amount of a vehicle by using dead reckoning, an imaging device configured to capture an image of a travel route on which the vehicle is traveling, a map generating unit configured to generate a map of a surrounding area of the vehicle, and an own vehicle position estimating unit configured to estimate a position of the vehicle on the map. The own vehicle position estimating unit is configured to calculate a first own vehicle position based on the movement amount of the vehicle calculated by the movement amount calculating unit, calculate a second own vehicle position by comparing the image captured by the imaging device with the map, and estimate the position of the vehicle on the map based on the first own vehicle position and the second own vehicle position.
