Abstract: A vehicle management device including request information reception means for receiving request information for platooning multiple vehicles; implementation feasibility assessment means for assessing an implementation feasibility of a platoon based on the request information; and implementation permission means for permitting implementation of the platoon based on a result of assessing of the implementation feasibility.

Abstract: A vehicle management device detects a traveling position that is a position in which a convoy is traveling. The convoy is constituted by vehicles that are lined up. The vehicle management device determines a platooning notification device based on the traveling position and requests the platooning notification device to output notification information about the convoy.

Abstract: A driving assistance device includes first acquisition means for acquiring driving status sensing data of a vehicle from a driving status sensing device provided in the vehicle, second acquisition means for acquiring biological information regarding a biological change of a driver of the vehicle, and determination means for determining occurrence of a dangerous event on the basis of a first occurrence index value for a dangerous event that is a value corresponding to the driving status sensing data and a second occurrence index value that is a value corresponding to the biological information of the driver.

Abstract: A driving-state monitoring system includes a driving-state monitoring device and a driving-state sensing device. The driving-state sensing device captures an image of a driver of a vehicle to thereby generate driving-state data. The driving-state monitoring device acquires the driving-state data and the captured image of a driver of a vehicle from the driving-state sensing device. An authentication process is made to determine whether or not a driver matches a pre-registered driver based on the information of a driver included in the captured image, thus determining the identification information of the driver successfully authenticated. The driving-state data is recorded on a database in association with the identification information of the driver. Accordingly, it is possible for the driving-state monitoring device to monitor a plurality of vehicles using a plurality of driving-state sensing devices, thus precisely managing a plurality of vehicles in terms of their driving states.

Abstract: A driving assistance device includes: a line-of-sight direction detection unit that detects a direction of a line of sight of a driver of a moving body; an obstacle detection unit that detects a position of an obstacle in environs of the moving body; an assessment criteria determination unit that determines assessment criteria of a look at the obstacle by the driver based on at least one of time, location, weather, a state of the moving body, and a state of the driver; and a warning processing unit that obtains an assessment result by applying, to the assessment criteria, a score computed based on the direction of the line of sight of the driver and the position of the obstacle, the warning processing unit determining at least one of whether or not a warning needs to be issued to the driver and a level of the warning, based on the assessment result.

Abstract: A vehicle operation assistance device is provided with: a visual line range determination unit that determines whether a recognition range including a visual line range of an operator of a mobile body corresponds to either an operation panel range to be operated or an external-environment checking range; a vigilance calculation unit that calculates alertness and attentiveness of the operator on the basis of at least movement of the operator's visual line; and a control unit that controls on-board devices of the mobile body on the basis of the recognition range and at least one of the alertness and attentiveness.

Abstract: An obstacle recognition assistance device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a first recognition result and sensing information, the first recognition result being a result based on a first recognition process performed using the sensing information acquired by an obstacle sensing device, the first recognition result indicating whether or not an obstacle is present, the first recognition result being determined to be incorrect; and a recording unit that verifies whether the first recognition result is incorrect based on the first recognition result and a second recognition result, the second recognition result being a result based on a second recognition process performed using the sensing information, the second recognition process indicating whether or not the obstacle is present.
