  • Publication number: 20240106524
    Abstract: A transmission data controller determines a frequency bandwidth according to a relay apparatus position, the frequency bandwidth being used for a first signal transmitted from a first communication apparatus, on the basis of information regarding the number of first communication apparatuses with which a relay apparatus communicates at the relay apparatus position. The transmission data controller transmits band information indicating a frequency band selected from radio frequency bands that can be used for the first signal on the basis of the determined frequency bandwidth to the first communication apparatus. The first communication apparatus transmits the first signal having a frequency included in the frequency band indicated by the band information. The relay apparatus acquires waveform data of the first signal transmitted by the first communication apparatus, and transmits the acquired waveform data to a second communication apparatus by a second signal.

  • Patent number: 11738742
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding environment of a vehicle, a setter configured to set a first risk area in a surrounding area of the vehicle on the basis of a recognition result of the recognizer, and a controller configured to control at least one of a speed and steering of the vehicle. The setter sets the first risk area so that the first risk area includes an area between the moving object and a first end of a crosswalk where the moving object is scheduled to arrive in the crosswalk when the moving object is entering the crosswalk which is provided in front of the vehicle and where the vehicle is scheduled to pass on the basis of the recognition result of the recognizer. The controller prevents the vehicle from entering the first risk area when a first predetermined condition is satisfied.
