Driving control method and driving control device

Abstract

To reduce an occupant's feeling of strangeness that is caused due to a difference between a deceleration feeling that the occupant feels and deceleration that actually occurs in an own vehicle, when the own vehicle turns in accordance with a shape of a lane.SOLUTION: A travelling control method comprises a step (S1) of detecting a travelling state of an own vehicle; a step (S2) of obtaining information on a shape of a lane on which the own vehicle travels; a step (S3) of calculating a lane-departure time which is an estimated value of a time during which the own vehicle reaches a boundary of the lane outside of turning on a curve road in front of the own vehicle, on the basis of the detected travelling state or a target value of a travelling state of the own vehicle and the shape of the lane; and steps (S4-S6) of controlling an attitude of the own vehicle when decelerating the own vehicle so that a downward pitch angle of the own vehicle becomes larger when the lane-departure time is long compared to when the time is short.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
