Publication number: 20240127725Abstract: A caution-required feature detector in a projection control apparatus detects a caution-required feature that is a feature with a solid shape that impacts on traveling of a subject vehicle. An optical illusion image generating unit generates an optical illusion image that recalls the solid shape of the caution-required feature. An alert determination unit determines whether alerting the caution-required feature is necessary. A projection controller causes a projector to project the optical illusion image at a position corresponding to a position of the caution-required feature determined as requiring the alert.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2021Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Keisaku FUKUDA, Mitsuo SHIMOTANI, Tadashi MIYAHARA

Publication number: 20240054877Abstract: The present disclosure is intended to notify an off-board passenger of a hazardous situation occurring around a target vehicle in the presence of an on-board passenger in the vehicle. A notification controller according to the present disclosure includes: an on-board passenger judgment unit, if at least one passenger in a target vehicle gets out of the vehicle to become an off-board passenger, the on-board passenger judgment unit judging whether there is a different passenger staying in the target vehicle; a hazard judgment unit that judges whether a hazardous situation is occurring around the target vehicle if there is an on-board passenger; and a notification control unit that makes radio communication with a communication terminal of the off-board passenger to make outward notification that is notification indicating the occurrence of the hazardous situation to the off-board passenger if the hazard judgment unit judges that the hazardous situation is occurring.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2021Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Tadashi MIYAHARA, Mitsuo SHIMOTANI, Keisaku FUKUDA, Kuniyo IEDA
