  • Publication number: 20240101135
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted apparatus (10) according to the present invention includes: a surrounding object information acquisition unit (11) that acquires surrounding object information relating to a surrounding object being an object detected in surroundings of a vehicle; a line-of-sight information acquisition unit (12) that acquires line-of-sight information of a driver of the vehicle; an operation information acquisition unit (13) that acquires operation information indicating an operation performed by the driver on the vehicle; an operation intention information generation unit (14) that generates operation intention information associating an operation indicated by the operation information with the surrounding object causing the operation indicated by the operation information, based on the surrounding object information, the line-of-sight information, and the operation information; and a transmission and reception unit (15) that transmits the operation intention information to a surrounding vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240092352
    Abstract: To achieve both guarantee of safety related to vehicle control and improvement of availability in an in-vehicle device that cannot independently perform automatic driving and needs assistance of vehicle control. To achieve the above object, a control system includes an in-vehicle device and a coordination device that are synchronized in time point. The control system includes a travelable time calculation unit that calculates a travelable time for guaranteeing that a vehicle does not collide with an obstacle on a travel trajectory in a target region through which the vehicle equipped with the in-vehicle device passes, a travelability determination unit that determines validity of the travelable time, and a trajectory following unit that permits the in-vehicle device to follow the travel trajectory when it is determined that the travelable time is valid.
