  • Publication number: 20230137845
    Abstract: A pedestrian protection system includes a plurality of autonomous driving vehicles and a server configured to be able to communicate with each of the autonomous driving vehicles. The server is configured to select at least one vehicle to be moved to the location of a pedestrian from among the autonomous driving vehicles as a pedestrian protection vehicle when a particular situation occurrence notification is received and is configured to send an instruction notification to the pedestrian protection vehicle. The particular situation occurrence notification indicates that the pedestrian is placed in a particular situation. The instruction notification instructs the pedestrian protection vehicle to move to the location of the pedestrian for protecting the pedestrian. Each of the autonomous driving vehicles is configured to move to the location of the pedestrian for protecting the pedestrian when the instruction notification is received.

  • Publication number: 20230064634
    Abstract: An abnormality notification system includes: a vehicle that travels regularly on a predetermined travel route; a communication device configured to be able to communicate with a sensor mounted on the vehicle and an outside, the sensor being a sensor that acquires road data obtained by imaging or measuring a road along the travel route; and a control device. The control device is configured to determine whether an abnormality has occurred on the road along the travel route based on a different part when the road data acquired by the sensor is compared with reference road data obtained by imaging or measuring the road along the travel route in the past, and transmit predetermined abnormality occurrence information to an external client via the communication device when the control device determines that an abnormality has occurred on the road along the travel route.
