Abstract: A moving body support system supports a moving body that recognizes a marker arranged in a predetermined area. The moving body support system estimates brightness at a position of the marker in the predetermined area without using an image captured by a camera mounted on the moving body. The moving body support system calculates a luminance correction value of an image including the marker according to the brightness at the position of the marker. The moving body support system acquires a first image including a target marker around the moving body by using the camera. The moving body support system generates a second image by correcting luminance of the first image by using the luminance correction value for the target marker. Then, the moving body support system recognizes the target marker based on the second image.

Abstract: An automated valet parking system performs automated parking in response to a user request for entry or pick-up from a user and causes the self-driving vehicle to perform automated driving along a target route to enter or pick up. The automated valet parking system, when a self-driving vehicle stops in an emergency or experiences a communication interruption and becomes a failed vehicle, sets a restricted area based on parking place map information and a position of the failed vehicle and sets an allowed area in a parking place, including a parking space(s) located outside the restricted area, provides an instruction, based on a position of a subject vehicle that is a self-driving vehicle as a subject of the user request and the set restricted area, to the subject vehicle, and sets a target route such that the subject vehicle parks in the parking space located in the allowed area.

Abstract: An automated valet parking system provides an automated valet parking service in a parking lot. A vehicle supporting the automated valet parking service executes braking control so as to automatically decelerate and stop before a target stop position in the parking lot. Braking result information indicates a braking distance until the vehicle is stopped by the braking control or an error distance between the target stop position and an actual stop position. The automated valet parking system determines whether or not the braking distance or the error distance deviates from an acceptable range. When the braking distance or the error distance deviates from the acceptable range, the automated valet parking system decides that an abnormality occurs in a braking device or a tire of the vehicle and transmits notification information notifying the abnormality occurrence to a terminal device operated by a user of the vehicle.

Abstract: An automated valet parking system acquires a first vehicle location based on a detection result of an in-vehicle sensor of an autonomous vehicle and object information in a parking place, acquires a second vehicle location based on a detection result of a facility sensor provided in the parking place, and determines, based on the first and the second vehicle locations, presence or absence of location fail of the autonomous vehicle with respect to the first vehicle location. The location fail determiner determines that the location fail is present at least in one case out of a case where difference between a first longitudinal location and a second longitudinal location is equal to or greater than a longitudinal threshold or a case where difference between the first and the second lateral locations is equal to or greater than a lateral threshold. The lateral threshold is smaller than the longitudinal threshold.
