PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly perform confluence of a vehicle by automatic driving.SOLUTION: An automatic confluence system includes a confluence side device installed in a confluence vehicle traveling on a confluence road toward a confluence point with a joining road, and a joining side device installed in a joining vehicle traveling on the joining road toward the confluence point. The confluence side device performs radio communication with the joining side device before the confluence vehicle approaches the confluence point to obtain a traveling state that is a position and speed of the joining vehicle. Then, based on the traveling state of the confluence vehicle and the joining vehicle, automatic driving is performed so that the confluence vehicle is made to reach the confluence point at the same time when the joining vehicle reaches the confluence point (S120, S125).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
【課題】自動運転による車両の合流を円滑に行う。【解決手段】自動合流システムは、合流道路を被合流道路との合流地点に向かって走行する合流車両に搭載された合流側装置と、被合流道路を合流地点に向かって走行する被合流車両に搭載された被合流側装置とを有する。合流側装置は、合流車両が合流地点に接近する前に被合流側装置と無線通信を行い、被合流車両の位置及び速度である走行状態を取得する。そして、合流車両及び被合流車両の走行状態に基づき、被合流車両が合流地点に到達するのと同時期に合流車両を合流地点に到達させるよう、自動運転を行う(S120,S125)。【選択図】図4
