  • Patent number: 11302178
    Abstract: A movable body monitoring apparatus is configured to receive movement data related to movements of a movable body. The apparatus includes an acquiring unit, a memory, a detector, and a non-support managing unit. The acquiring unit acquires movement data on a non-support movable body from a support movable body. The memory stores and records the acquired movement data. The detector detects passing of a movable body from the host vehicle. The non-support managing unit manages the movement data on the non-support movable body recorded in the memory. When it is determined that the non-support movable body the movement data on which has been recorded in the memory has passed by based on detection data by the detection of the detector, the non-support managing unit invalidates or deletes the movement data on the non-support movable body from the memory on a movable-body by movable-body basis.

  • Patent number: 11222541
    Abstract: A movable body monitoring apparatus is mounted on a movable body and to receive movement data related to movements of other movable bodies. The apparatus includes an acquiring unit, a generator, a determining unit, and a monitoring unit. The acquiring unit acquires the movement data on the other movable bodies. The generator generates group information on a plurality of low-speed movable bodies which are determined based on actual speeds or types of the other movable bodies. The determining unit determines whether to generate the group information by the generator, in accordance with a travel environment. The monitoring unit collectively monitors movements of the plurality of low-speed movable bodies using the group information, when the group information is generated. The monitoring unit individually monitors the movements of the plurality of low-speed movable bodies, when the group information is not generated.
