  • Patent number: 11587372
    Abstract: In an abnormality detection method for detecting an abnormality in vehicle behaviors based on an abnormality degree indicating a degree of difference between first driving information representing a vehicle behavior undergoing abnormality detection and second driving information obtained when no abnormality is found in a travel environment, an abnormality threshold is estimated using an abnormality degree distribution generated from a set of preaccumulated abnormality degrees. The abnormality threshold is an abnormality degree allowing a probability of erroneous determination as to presence or absence of an abnormality to be a predefined probability. Further, in the abnormality detection method, it is detected whether an abnormality is found in the vehicle behavior by comparing the abnormality degree for the first driving information and the estimated abnormality threshold.

  • Patent number: 11113292
    Abstract: A computer calculates, in accordance with a maximum mean discrepancy, a similarity level between a first feature distribution correlating to a first distribution information item stored in a distribution database and a second feature distribution correlating to a second distribution information item stored in the distribution database. The second distribution information item is different from the first distribution information item. The maximum mean discrepancy is a distance measure indicative of the similarity level between the first and second feature distributions. The computer determines whether the calculated similarity level is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, and integrates the first feature distribution and the second feature distribution into a common feature distribution upon determining that the calculated similarity level is equal to or higher than the predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 10522032
    Abstract: In a driving-state data storage apparatus, a collector collects, from each of vehicles on a target travelling road, a value of data indicative of a driving state of the corresponding vehicle to correspondingly obtain driving-state data values for the target road. A data allocator divides, based on similarity among the driving-state data values, the target traveling road into a plurality of traveling segments, and extracts, from the driving-state data values, data values for each of the divided travelling segments. The data values extracted for each of the travelling segments are similar to each other. The data allocator allocates a distribution of the extracted data values for each of the divided travelling segments to the corresponding one of the divided travelling segments as a feature distribution. A storage unit stores the feature distribution allocated for each of the travelling segments.

  • Patent number: 10380887
    Abstract: In a driving assist system, a driving evaluator compares a driving feature data item sampled at each predetermined sampling point and obtained from a target vehicle with historical driving data items for the corresponding sampling point. The driving evaluator obtains, based on a result of the comparison, an evaluation value of the driving feature data item for the target vehicle at each predetermined sampling point. An unusual driving determiner obtains a cumulative sum of selected values in the evaluation values of the driving feature data items for the target vehicle. The unusual driving determiner determines whether the cumulative sum is larger than a predetermined threshold, and determines that driving of a driver of the target vehicle is unusual upon determining that the cumulative sum is larger than the predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20190193741
    Abstract: In an apparatus for detecting an anomaly of an evaluation target condition of a road, a storage stores a reference data set correlating to a predetermined attribute and being comprised of reference data samples. An anomaly level calculator obtains, from target vehicles, an evaluation data set correlating to the predetermined attribute and being comprised of evaluation data samples. The evaluation data samples are collected from the respective target vehicles as target driving data items at the predetermined attribute under the evaluation target condition of the road. The target driving data item for each of the target vehicles represents at least one driving operation of the corresponding one of the target vehicles. The anomaly level calculator compares the reference data set with the evaluation data set to thereby calculate an anomaly level of the evaluation target condition of the road.
