Abstract: Determination is made as to whether or not to enable communications by a communication processing unit with an on-board unit, on the basis of a receive strength detected from a radio wave received via a communication antenna, and the angle of arrival and the receive strength of a direct wave and the angle of arrival and the receive strength of a reflected wave, the angles of arrival and the receive strengths being estimated from one or more radio waves received via an angle measurement antenna.

Abstract: Formation of a tire trace due to automated driving travel of an automated driving vehicle (10) is prevented. In an automated driving system (500), an in-vehicle apparatus (100) is mounted in the automated driving vehicle (10) traveling a road by automated driving. The in-vehicle apparatus (100) effects automated driving such that a vehicle position through which the automated driving vehicle (10) travels deviates from a center in a transverse direction of the road by an offset value (321) in the transverse direction of the road.

Abstract: A mode acquisition unit (21) accepts designation of a driver type from a driver or a passenger, among driver types provided by driver's driving skill. A mode acquisition unit (21) acquires a driving mode corresponding to a designated type which is a designated driver type. The driving mode indicates a control method of automated driving corresponding to a driving skill. The driving control unit (22) causes a mobile body (100) to perform automated driving in accordance with the control method indicated by the driving mode acquired by the mode acquisition unit (21), thereby realizing automated driving corresponding to the driving skill.

Abstract: A map database stores map data. The map data includes position reference point data including identification information of a position reference point being set in an intersection area where traffic lanes intersect, join, or diverge and an absolute position of the position reference point. A communication system receives the identification information of the position reference point and a relative position of another vehicle to the absolute position of the position reference point. A vehicle position information processing unit acquires the absolute position of the position reference point from the position reference point data on the basis of the received identification information of the position reference point. Then, the vehicle position information processing unit specifies a position of the another vehicle on the basis of the acquired absolute position of the position reference point and the received relative position of the another vehicle.
