  • Patent number: 12276979
    Abstract: A map management system stores map information used by an automated driving vehicle. The automated driving vehicle detects an obstacle based on the map information, or acquires a margin distance when stopping in front of an obstacle based on the map information. When requiring a remote operator's decision about an action with respect to the obstacle, the automated driving vehicle issues a support request that requests the remote operator to give support. The map management system acquires an operator instruction to the automated driving vehicle issued by the remote operator in response to the support request. The map management system estimates a type of the obstacle based on a state of acquisition of the operator instruction or a content of the operator instruction. Then, the map management system updates the map information according to the type of the obstacle.

  • Patent number: 12202526
    Abstract: A processor of a vehicle determines whether remote assistance from a remote facility is necessary during autonomous driving control. When determination is made that the remote assistance is necessary, the processor generates a target trajectory of the vehicle that includes an expected waiting position. The expected waiting position is a position where the vehicle is expected to wait for reception of an assistance signal from the remote facility. The processor calculates a traveling efficiency level indicating a level of traveling efficiency required in the vehicle, and calculates, based on the traveling efficiency level, a request timing to transmit a request signal for the remote assistance to the remote facility. When the traveling efficiency level is low in calculation of the request timing, the processor outputs a late timing.

  • Publication number: 20240317220
    Abstract: A vehicle control system generates a target trajectory and controls a vehicle to follow the target trajectory. Blind spot information indicates a blind spot region present in front of the vehicle. Under assumption that a first object appears at a first position in front of the vehicle, decelerating the vehicle with a first deceleration cannot avoid a collision between the first object and the vehicle. A deceleration map, which is prepared in advance, indicates at least a collision region consisting of the first position. The vehicle control system recognizes, based on the deceleration map, the collision region under assumption that the vehicle reaches a future position on the target trajectory. When the collision region and the blind spot region overlap each other, the vehicle control system modifies the target trajectory so that the collision region and the blind spot region do not overlap each other.

  • Publication number: 20240253645
    Abstract: An abnormality detection system is applied to an autonomous driving system of a target vehicle. The abnormality detection system stores travel plan information and reference travel information. The travel plan information and the reference travel information indicate a travel plan of the target vehicle and a travel record of a reference vehicle different from the target vehicle, respectively. The abnormality detection system calculates a deviation between the travel plan of the target vehicle and the travel record of the reference vehicle for each determination position based on the travel plan information and the reference travel information. The abnormality detection system extracts the determination position at which the deviation exceeds a threshold as an abnormal position related to an abnormality of the autonomous driving system.
