Abstract: A remote operation control method for controlling a remote operation of a moving body is provided. A video captured by a camera mounted on the moving body is transmitted to a remote operator terminal on a side of a remote operator remotely operating the moving body. The remote operation control method includes: setting an upper limit speed of the moving body during the remote operation to be lower as a quality of the video transmitted from the moving body to the remote operator terminal becomes lower or as an encoding and decoding time of the video becomes longer; and limiting a speed of the moving body during the remote operation to the upper limit speed or less regardless of an operation amount input by the remote operator.

Abstract: The vehicle includes a driving operation member that is operated by an operator to perform steering, acceleration, and deceleration, a stop maintaining device that maintains a stop state, and a control device. In the remote control mode, the control device communicates with the remote operation target vehicle, transmits information reflecting the operation amount of the driving operation member to the remote operation target vehicle, and presents information received from the remote operation target vehicle to the operator. When the stop state of the vehicle is not maintained by the stop maintaining device, the control device prohibits the remote control mode.

Abstract: A moving body control system determines, during execution of a remote operation of a moving body, whether a predetermined condition is satisfied based on driving environment information indicating the driving environment for the moving body.

Meanwhile, when the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the moving body control system prohibit issuance of the notification. The predetermined condition includes at least a first condition that “the moving body is in an environment where passing is legally permitted”, and a second condition that “safety when the moving body is passed is ensured”.

Abstract: In a steering system including a steering operation mechanism, a second actuator, a steering angle sensor, a steering torque sensor, and a steering operation control device and a control method for the steering system, only a drive assist target steered angle (first target steered angle) is reflected in a final target steered angle when a torque sensor value (actual steering torque) detected by the steering torque sensor is equal to or less than an intervention threshold. When the magnitude of the torque sensor value is more than the intervention threshold, the rate of reflection (distribution ratio) of a driver target steered angle (second target steered angle) in the final target steered angle is raised as the torque sensor value is increased, and the rate of reflection of the driver target steered angle in the final target steered angle is lowered as the magnitude of the torque sensor value is decreased.
