Abstract: A switching control device includes a controller, a prediction unit, and a calculator. The calculator calculates, based on a schedule, a first electricity storage amount of a first electricity storage functional unit required for driving a motor to a second position excepting a charging amount charged to the first electricity storage functional unit at a first position corresponding to a charging time based on the schedule. When an electricity storage amount of the first electricity storage functional unit is equal to or smaller than the first electricity storage amount, the controller controls a switching unit to switch a power source of an air conditioning appliance to a predetermined power source from the first electricity storage functional unit.

Abstract: A parked vehicle detection device includes a vehicle detector, a host-vehicle position detector, a position calculator, a vehicle information storage, and a parked vehicle determiner. The vehicle detector detects another vehicle included in an image of at least a front of a host vehicle, the image captured by an imaging device mounted on the host vehicle. The host-vehicle position detector detects a position of the host vehicle. The position calculator calculates a position of the detected another vehicle based on the detected position of the host vehicle. The vehicle information storage stores therein information on the another vehicle. The information includes the calculated position. The parked vehicle determiner determines whether the another vehicle is a high possible parked vehicle based on the information on the another vehicle.
