Abstract: Provided is a vehicle control device for controlling the motion of a vehicle, the device including: an operation detecting unit for detecting an operation on a vehicle; an information presenting unit for presenting pre-notification information for pre-notifying the motion accompanying the operation detected by the operation detecting unit to the outside of the vehicle; and a motion control unit for controlling the motion accompanying the operation detected by the operation detecting unit. This allows for preventing occurrence of a dangerous situation.

Abstract: A vehicle state determining unit (1) for determining a state of a vehicle, a display data output unit (7) for outputting display data for displaying information indicating the state of the vehicle determined by the vehicle state determining unit (1), and an information displaying unit (10) for determining display time of the information from the state of the vehicle determined by the vehicle state determining unit (1) and displaying the information to the outside of the vehicle in accordance with the display data output from the display data output unit (7) during the display time, in which the information displaying unit (10) is configured to switch a display method of the information in accordance with the display time. Thus, a degree of information transmission may be increased.

Abstract: A vehicle state determination unit for determining a state of a vehicle, a display data output unit for outputting display data for displaying information indicating the state of the vehicle determined by the vehicle state determination unit, and an information displaying unit for displaying information to the outside of the vehicle in accordance with the display data output from the display data output unit are provided, in which the information displaying unit is configured to switch a display method of the information in accordance with an environment of the vehicle. By this, a degree of information transmission may be increased.

Abstract: A display control unit determines, in a case of determining that a part of a character string acquired by a character string acquiring unit cannot be displayed along a curve indicated by curve information acquired by a curve information acquiring unit because the length of the curve is short, a shape of an extended part of the curve from a shape of the curve indicated by the curve information acquired by the curve information acquiring unit, extends the curve, and generates display information for displaying the part of the character string along the curve of the extended part.

Abstract: A vehicle state determining unit (1) for determining a state of a vehicle and a display data selecting unit (5) for selecting display data corresponding to the state of the vehicle determined by the vehicle state determining unit (1) out of a plurality of display data for displaying information presented to the outside of the vehicle are provided, and an information displaying unit (8) is configured to display the information to the outside of the vehicle in accordance with the display data selected by the display data selecting unit (5). As a result, it is possible to select and display information contributing to driving safety.

Abstract: A rear-road surface illumination apparatus is provided which includes: an avoidance determiner 30 to determine whether to provide a display to induce a following vehicle to avoid a vehicle, on the basis of vehicle information; and a controller 9 to cause an illumination light 10 to illuminate a rear road surface with light having illumination information that induces the following vehicle to avoid the vehicle when the avoidance determiner 30 determines to provide a display to induce the following vehicle to avoid the vehicle. Therefore, the rear-road surface illumination apparatus can indicate the existence of the vehicle to the following vehicle, to give the existence of the vehicle prominence, and can also make it easy to notify the driver of the following vehicle about what the driver of the vehicle desires the driver of the following vehicle to do.

Abstract: An input display device includes: a processor to execute a program; and a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, results in performance of steps including: receiving an input of a track by a receiving unit; generating a track image showing the track; acquiring a character string; and displaying the character string acquired in the acquiring to be superimposed on the track image. When the character string is acquired in the acquiring before the track image is generated, the displaying the character string is stood by.

Abstract: Because a road surface illumination apparatus is configured so as to include a vehicle state detector 3 configured to detect the traveling direction of a vehicle on the basis of vehicle information acquired by a vehicle information acquisition unit 2, and an illumination pattern selector 4 to select an illumination pattern expressing the traveling direction detected by the vehicle state detector 3 from among illumination patterns held therein and provided for traveling directions, and to cause an illumination device 7 to illuminate at least a road surface in a direction different from the traveling direction with the selected illumination pattern, the road surface illumination apparatus can provide a notification of the traveling direction of the vehicle intuitively to persons outside the vehicle who are existing in the direction other than the traveling direction.

Abstract: A rear-road surface illumination apparatus is provided which includes: an avoidance determiner 30 to determine whether to provide a display to induce a following vehicle to avoid a vehicle, on the basis of vehicle information; and a controller 9 to cause an illumination light 10 to illuminate a rear road surface with light having illumination information that induces the following vehicle to avoid the vehicle when the avoidance determiner 30 determines to provide a display to induce the following vehicle to avoid the vehicle. Therefore, the rear-road surface illumination apparatus can indicate the existence of the vehicle to the following vehicle, to give the existence of the vehicle prominence, and can also make it easy to notify the driver of the following vehicle about what the driver of the vehicle desires the driver of the following vehicle to do.

Abstract: Because a road surface illumination apparatus is configured so as to include a vehicle motion predictor 2 to predict the motion which a vehicle is going to perform from now on in accordance with vehicle information acquired by a vehicle information acquisition unit 1, and a light animation setting unit 3 to set a light animation expressing the motion predicted by the vehicle motion predictor 2, and to cause an illumination device 4 to illuminate a road surface with the animation before the vehicle performs the motion, the road surface illumination apparatus can intuitively notify the motion which the vehicle is going to perform from now on to persons outside the vehicle.
