  • Publication number: 20250136132
    Abstract: Prioritizing essential information for display within a vehicle notification system includes detecting a change in a traffic scene. The traffic scene encompasses a portion of a vehicle transportation network. In response to detecting the change in the traffic scene, it is determined that the traffic scene requires more than a defined level of operator engagement. In response to determining that the traffic scene requires more than the defined level of operator engagement, the traffic scene is stored to a traffic scene storage location. Further, it is determined that an operator is not aware of the traffic scene. Responsive to determining that the operator is not aware of the traffic scene, a control system of a vehicle notifies the operator that the traffic scene requires more than the defined level of operator engagement.

  • Publication number: 20240183680
    Abstract: A route guidance device includes a travel plan acquisition unit, a travel plan comparison unit, and a route guidance display control unit. The travel route acquisition unit acquires travel plans of a host vehicle and of another vehicle. The travel plan comparison unit compares a host vehicle travel plan, and the travel plan of the other vehicle. The route guidance display control unit displays the host vehicle the route guidance information as an image at least when the host vehicle travel plan and the travel plan of the other vehicle do not match. Also, the route guidance display control unit suppresses the display of a part or all of the route guidance information when the travel plan of the host vehicle and the travel plan of the other vehicle do match.
