  • Patent number: 11958494
    Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires pieces of information including information related to a vehicle, information related to the environment inside and outside the vehicle, and information related to a driver on board the vehicle. A determination unit determines priorities of the pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit on the basis of a service or the like used by the driver among services or the likes provided using information accumulated in a server device. A selection unit selects a piece of information to be transmitted to the server device from among the pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit on the basis of the priorities determined by the determination unit. A communication unit transmits the piece of information selected by the selection unit to the server device.

  • Publication number: 20230322228
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle control apparatus that can correctly determine that lane changing is possible in a situation that by accelerating or decelerating, an ego vehicle can perform the lane changing without interfering with an obstacle, and that raises the comfortability for the drier. In the vehicle control apparatus, a target trajectory for performing lane changing under restriction of not entering an entry prohibition region is calculated; a determination section determines whether or not lane changing is possible, based on at least information on a position of the ego vehicle in the target trajectory; in the case where it is determined that lane changing is possible, the ego vehicle is made to change a lane, by use of the target trajectory.

  • Publication number: 20230141235
    Abstract: A surrounding environment information generating unit acquires surrounding position information indicating a measured position of a side wall including a side wall of an evacuation spot, and generates measured map information for the side wall using the surrounding position information. When driving operation by a driver cannot be performed, a corrected map information generating unit calculates a correction value obtained by multiplying a difference between a distance from a traveling center line of a host vehicle to the side wall in base map information and that in the measured map information by a reliability, and generates corrected map information obtained by applying the correction value to the base map information. A route generating unit generates an evacuation travel route with the evacuation spot as a destination using the corrected map information. A vehicle control unit outputs a vehicle speed command for the host vehicle using the evacuation travel route.

  • Publication number: 20210394776
    Abstract: An information acquiring unit acquires information from a detection device mounted on a vehicle. A near accident determining unit determines whether or not a near accident has occurred at the vehicle using the information acquired by the information acquiring unit. A near accident cause classifying unit classifies the cause of the near accident determined by the near accident determining unit. A near accident level determining unit determines the level of the near accident determined by the near accident determining unit and also determines whether or not the level of the near accident exceeds a corresponding one of predetermined threshold levels. A notification destination determining unit determines a target individual to be notified of information regarding the near accident that is determined to exceed the corresponding threshold level by the near accident level determining unit.
