Abstract: A purely-lateral position estimation unit (1603) estimates as an estimated purely-lateral position, when a disturbance wave to disturb communication performed in a train is generated while the train is traveling, a position existing in a purely-lateral direction with respect to a position of a generation source of the disturbance wave. A feature extraction unit (1604) extracts a feature of a measured reception power value being a reception power value measured in the train during a disturbance wave generation period wherein the disturbance wave has been generated.

Abstract: When an occupant stretches his/her lower extremity in a state where putting his/her foot on a foot resting portion during autonomous driving of a vehicle, a seat is controlled so as to move rearward and obliquely upward along a control portion. Concurrently, a seat cushion is controlled so that its front portion moves downward while being supported by a link member and then its inclination angle is made gentle. When at least one of a position and an angle of at least one of the seat cushion and the seatback is controlled, an upper end of the seat is located on an inclined straight line extending downward on a forward side of the upper end.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a switch position includes adjusting a position of a changeover switch for changing over a travel mode of a vehicle between an automated driving mode in which travel of the vehicle is controlled in an automated manner and a manual driving mode in which travel of the vehicle is operated by a driver is adjusted according to a state of the driver seat.
