  • Publication number: 20190193741
    Abstract: In an apparatus for detecting an anomaly of an evaluation target condition of a road, a storage stores a reference data set correlating to a predetermined attribute and being comprised of reference data samples. An anomaly level calculator obtains, from target vehicles, an evaluation data set correlating to the predetermined attribute and being comprised of evaluation data samples. The evaluation data samples are collected from the respective target vehicles as target driving data items at the predetermined attribute under the evaluation target condition of the road. The target driving data item for each of the target vehicles represents at least one driving operation of the corresponding one of the target vehicles. The anomaly level calculator compares the reference data set with the evaluation data set to thereby calculate an anomaly level of the evaluation target condition of the road.

  • Patent number: 9111400
    Abstract: In an abnormal driving behavior detection system for a vehicle, an obtainer repeatedly obtains an observed value indicative of at least one of a running condition of the vehicle and a driver's driving operation of the vehicle. A mode-probability calculator calculates, each time an observed value is obtained at a given obtaining timing as a target obtained value, a mode probability for each of driving modes as a function of one or more previous observed values. A deviation calculator obtains a predicted observed value for each driving mode using a driver's normal behavior model defined therefor, and calculates a deviation of the target observed value from the predicted observed value for each driving mode. An abnormality determiner determines whether there is at least one driver's abnormal behavior based on the mode probability for each driving mode and the deviation calculated for each driving mode.
