  • Publication number: 20250249935
    Abstract: A safety rule generation device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The memory stores a plurality of general-purpose scenarios for an autonomously-operable moving body to execute a predetermined driving operation, and a plurality of general-purpose safety rules previously calculated so as to complete the general-purpose scenarios while satisfying a predetermined safety condition. The processor receives an input of route information in which a route of travel from a starting position to a target position is divided into a plurality of route segments, assigns the general-purpose scenarios to the respective route segments, and generates an overall safety rule in which the general-purpose safety rules corresponding to the general-purpose scenarios are connected according to an order of the route segments.

  • Patent number: 12360519
    Abstract: A system optimal control technique with accuracy guarantee that enables high-speed calculations is provided. One aspect of the present invention is related to a system optimal control device including a graph converting unit configured to convert, based on an upper bound of an probability of arrival from an initial state to a final state of a stochastic game representing system information, the stochastic game into a flow analysis graph, a path selecting unit configured to select a path having a maximum width among paths from each state node to a final state node in the converted flow analysis graph, a width of each of the paths being defined as a minimum weight of edges forming the path, and a convergence determining unit configured to determine convergence of the upper bound and a lower bound of the probability of arrival of the stochastic game based on information about the selected path.

  • Publication number: 20230333546
    Abstract: The present disclosure aims to provide a technique for monitoring the behavior of a control system accurately. One aspect of the present invention relates to a monitoring device having: an acquiring part configured to acquire observed values of a variable that is sampled with respect to a behavior of a control system while the control system is running; and a determining part configured to determine a range of possible observed values that the variable possibly reaches upon a temporal change thereof, based on the acquired observed values, and determine whether a variation range of the acquired observed values satisfies a specification, based on an overlap between the range of the possible observed values and a range not satisfying the specification.
