Abstract: A first vehicle includes a communication device configured to send and receive V2V information, a memory configured to store the V2V information, and a processor configured to perform abnormal traveling determination processing. A second vehicle includes a communication device configured to send and receive the V2V information, a memory configured to store the V2V information and driving environment information on the second vehicle, and a processor configured to perform objective determination processing. In the objective determination processing, whether the first vehicle is traveling abnormally is objectively determined based on the driving environment information on the second vehicle. The determination result of the objective determination processing is sent to the first vehicle. In the abnormal traveling determination processing, whether the first vehicle is traveling abnormally is determined based on this determination result.

Abstract: A traffic light management system that manages display of traffic lights includes a communication device, a control device, and a map database. The control device performs emergency control of the display when abnormal traveling information indicating the information on an abnormally traveling vehicle is included in the information received from a communication vehicle. In the emergency control, the control device predicts a future trajectory of the abnormally traveling vehicle based on the abnormal traveling information. Next, the control device generates the emergency control signal for temporarily prohibiting passage at an intersection and a crosswalk on a road along the future trajectory based on the map information and the future trajectory. After that, the control device sends the emergency control signal to controlled traffic lights. The controlled traffic lights are each a traffic light at the intersection and the crosswalk on a road along the future trajectory.

The vehicle travel control device is configured to determine whether an operation request condition for washer operation for ejecting washer solution toward a windshield of the vehicle is satisfied, transmit an approval request for the washer operation to the autonomous driving control device when the operation request condition is satisfied, and execute the washer operation when approval for the approval request is received from the autonomous driving control device.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes an electric control unit that performs a preceding vehicle trailing control which makes an own vehicle trail a preceding vehicle as an adaptive cruise control, and performs a first brake control which automatically applies a first braking control to the own vehicle when a time-to-collision to a target object is less than a first threshold. In a case where a performing condition for the first brake control has been determined to be satisfied during a performance of the adaptive cruise control, the electric control unit continues performing the adaptive cruise control without performing the first brake control when a deceleration control by the adaptive cruise control is being performed, whereas stops performing the adaptive cruise control when the deceleration control by the adaptive cruise control is not being performed.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes an automatic driving control device that generates a target trajectory used for automatic driving, and a vehicle travel control device that executes vehicle travel control such that a vehicle follows the target trajectory. The vehicle travel control device determines whether an operating condition of travel support control for reducing a risk when the vehicle travels is satisfied based on driving environment information, acquired from a plurality of sensor devices, and executes the travel support control in a case where the operating condition is satisfied. The vehicle travel control device generates risk information based on the driving environment information, and transmits the risk information to the automatic driving control device before the operating condition is satisfied. The automatic driving control device generates or corrects the target trajectory based on the received risk information.

Abstract: A first vehicle includes: a communications device configured to transmit and receive V2V information; an acquisition device configured to acquire driving environment information; and a processing device configured to perform a collision determination process for a second vehicle as an oncoming vehicle. The second vehicle includes a communications device configured to transmit and receive V2V information. In the collision determination process, the processing device recognizes an object around the first vehicle based on the driving environment information. Further, the processing device determines whether or not the second vehicle has a collision risk to collide with the object, based on the driving environment information and the V2V information received from the second vehicle. When the second vehicle is determined to have the collision risk, alert information for the object is formed. The alert information is transmitted to the communications device of the second vehicle.

Abstract: An autonomous driving system includes a control device and a request input device. The control device executes one or more controls of a vehicle including an autonomous traveling control. The request input device sends various requests to the control device by a human operation. The control device executes, during execution of the autonomous traveling control, a process for determining whether an operator who operates the request input device is a qualified person. Then, the control device approves the request when the operator is a qualified person, and disapproves the request when the operator is not a qualified person.

Abstract: A vehicle control system predicts danger to be avoided by a vehicle based on information related to a surrounding environment of the vehicle. When the danger is predicted, the vehicle control system determines whether an autonomous driving system rejects intervention in autonomous driving, and performs a diagnosis as to whether the autonomous driving system is normal or abnormal. Further, the vehicle control system performs the intervention in the autonomous driving to avoid the predicted danger when the autonomous driving system does not reject the intervention in the autonomous driving or when the autonomous driving system is abnormal even when the autonomous driving system rejects the intervention in the autonomous driving. However, the vehicle control system stops the intervention in the autonomous driving when the autonomous driving system rejects the intervention in the autonomous driving in a state where the autonomous driving system is normal.

The vehicle control system executes vehicle traveling control for generating a target trajectory of the vehicle based on a recognition result by the recognition sensor and executing control such that the vehicle follows the target trajectory. The vehicle control system executes the evacuation control that is the vehicle traveling control for evacuating the vehicle to the target position in a case where the vehicle traveling control is normal when the stop switch is pressed. The vehicle control system executes deceleration-and-stop control for decelerating the vehicle to stop the vehicle without using the target trajectory in a case where the vehicle traveling control is abnormal when the stop switch is pressed.

Abstract: A setting unit of a safety-device activation timing controlling apparatus sets a first timing upon it being determined that a driver's collision avoidance operation in a longitudinal direction has been carried out. The first timing is later than a reference timing for activating the safety device. The setting unit sets a second timing upon it being determined that a driver's collision avoidance operation in the lateral direction has been carried out. The second timing is later than the reference timing. Upon it being determined that at least one of the driver's collision avoidance operation in the longitudinal direction of the own vehicle and the driver's collision avoidance operation in the lateral direction of the own vehicle has been carried out, an activation determining unit determines whether to activate the safety device in accordance with a corresponding at least one of the first timing and the second timing.
