Abstract: An information providing apparatus includes a traffic information database and a data processing device. The data processing device detects, based on the traffic information data, an impediment event. The data processing device extracts the impediment event potentially encountered by an assisted vehicle. The data processing device calculates, based on the traffic information data, a certainty level of the impediment event. The data processing device provides a driver of the assisted vehicle with a straightforward notification regarding the impediment event potentially encountered by the assisted vehicle and having the certainty level equal to or higher than a straightforward notification threshold. The data processing device provides the driver with an euphemistic notification, which is different from the straightforward notification, regarding the impediment event potentially encountered by the assisted vehicle and having the certainty level less than the straightforward notification threshold.

Abstract: An information providing apparatus for a vehicle includes: a traffic information database in which traffic information data are recorded; and a data processing device that processes the traffic information data to provide a driver of an assisted vehicle with a notification. The data processing device executes: an event detection process that detects, based on the traffic information data, an impediment event that impediments vehicle running; an event extraction process that extracts the impediment event potentially encountered by the assisted vehicle; a determination value calculation process that calculates a notification necessity level for each impediment event; and a notification process that provides the driver of the assisted vehicle with the notification regarding the impediment event potentially encountered by the assisted vehicle and having the notification necessity level greater than a threshold.

Abstract: When a preceding vehicle in front of a host vehicle reduces speed, other vehicles between the preceding vehicle and a system-mounted vehicle successively reduces speed. An ECU and an ACC control the traveling of the system-mounted vehicle on the basis of prediction information of speed reduction propagation when the system-mounted vehicle reduces speed such that the system-mounted vehicle and an ordinary vehicle immediately in front of the system-mounted vehicle have a predetermined relative positional relationship. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the speed reduction propagation between the preceding vehicle and the system-mounted vehicle in advance, making it possible to more effectively suppress congestion.

Abstract: A traffic control system sets a target value related to a travel state based on a correlation between a vehicle travel speed and a traffic volume, and controls multiple vehicles (CS) on a road in accordance with the target value as a common target value. The target value can be set based on a predicted traffic volume at a region (103) that is ahead of, in a vehicle travel direction, the multiple vehicles on the road. For example, the traffic control system sets, as the target value, a target speed or a target value of a parameter related to an inter-vehicle distance.
