  • Publication number: 20240240950
    Abstract: A route searching device may obtain map information including a plurality of roads. The route searching device may determine a reference position and a destination on the map information. The route searching device may determine a restricting condition for a mobile body to travel by departing from the reference position and reaching the destination. The route searching device may search a route from the reference position to the destination satisfying the restricting condition. The route searching device may identify a predetermined road from among the plurality of roads. The predetermined road may be a road on which the mobile body has travelled or which has been selected as the route before in the past. The route searching device may search the route such that a percentage at which the identified predetermined road is included in the route becomes low.

  • Publication number: 20240101021
    Abstract: A headlight determination apparatus includes a camera device, a target light recognition device, and a changing device. The camera device captures an image ahead of a vehicle at a predetermined frame rate. The target light recognition device recognizes target light from the image captured by the camera device. The changing device changes a wavelength of headlight of the vehicle by using a predetermined period slower than the predetermined frame rate. When the wavelength of the headlight is different from a wavelength of the target light and/or when a period of the wavelength of the headlight does not match a period of the wavelength of the target light, the target light recognition device recognizes that there is target light other than the headlight in front of the vehicle and controls light distribution of the headlight when there is target light other than the headlight in front of the vehicle.
