Abstract: A danger response evaluation device estimates the content of a possible danger through simulation using observation data acquired from an external device. Then, when the estimated content of the danger exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the danger response evaluation device gives, to a user terminal of a user, notification of an alarm that prompts a response to the danger. Thereafter, when having acquired the content of a response of the user to the danger from the user terminal of the user, the danger response evaluation device determines how much the content of the response corresponds to execution of a plan of a response to the danger stored in a storage unit in advance. Then, the danger response evaluation device evaluates, based on a result of the determination, how much the content of the actual response of the user contributes to a damage prevention effect related to the danger.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is, in performing three-dimensionalization of an object point cloud by a laser or a radar, to reduce an amount of calculation in the axial direction of three-dimensional space coordinates, into which the object point cloud is to be mapped, while increasing accuracy in the three-dimensionalization of the object point cloud. The present disclosure calculates an absolute value of a difference between vehicle attitude data with a high sampling frequency and vehicle attitude data with a low sampling frequency. When the absolute value of the difference is small, the vehicle attitude data with the high sampling frequency is decimated and the vehicle attitude data with the low sampling frequency is outputted, to thereby reduce the amount of calculation in the axial direction of the three-dimensional space coordinates, into which the object point cloud is to be mapped.
