Abstract: A support server includes a controlling portion configured to execute the followings: acquiring respective pieces of vehicle information on a plurality of vehicles present in a power outage area; specifying a power supply vehicle by which power supply is performable, from among the vehicles based on the respective pieces of vehicle information on the vehicles; and outputting, to the power supply vehicle, power supply information indicating that power supply is performable by the power supply vehicle.

Abstract: A support server includes a processor configured to: acquire a total supply power amount from each of a plurality of facilities placed within a stricken area, the total supply power amount being obtained by adding respective supply power amounts of a plurality of power supply vehicles configured to perform power supply; acquire, from at least one vehicle placed within the stricken area, a supply power amount suppliable by the at least one vehicle; and output, to at least either one of the at least one vehicle and a communications device associated with the at least one vehicle, request facility information on a request facility that requires to request power supply due to a shortage of electric power, based on respective total supply power amounts of the facilities and the supply power amount suppliable by the at least one vehicle.

Abstract: An ECU acquires history information on whether there is an experience of external power supply by a vehicle, and the ECU determines whether a user of the vehicle has experienced the external power supply, based on the history information. In a case where the ECU determines that the user has not experienced the external power supply of the vehicle, the ECU outputs recommendation information that recommends the user to experience the external power supply of the vehicle.

Abstract: A support server includes a processor configured to perform: acquiring an amount of residual fuel, state information of each of a plurality of vehicles, position information of each of the plurality of vehicles, and user position information of a user who desires supply of fuel from the plurality of vehicles; identifying a supply vehicle that is able to supply fuel out of the plurality of vehicles based on the amounts of residual fuel of the plurality of vehicles and the state information of the plurality of vehicles; generating fuel position information including at least the position information of the supply vehicle based on the user position information and the position information of the supply vehicle; and outputting the fuel position information.

Abstract: A control device is provided with an ECU configured to acquire a charging rate of a secondary battery, generate power supply information related to power supply using an in-vehicle outlet based on the charging rate, and output the power supply information.

Abstract: A control device includes an ECU configured to acquire, from each of a plurality of vehicles having a secondary battery and being configured to supply power to the outside, information indicating a charging rate of the secondary battery and vehicle model information, generate arrangement position information by which a arrangement position is allocated to each of the plurality of vehicles in a case where the plurality of vehicles supply the power to the outside in parallel to each other, based on the charging rate of the secondary battery and the vehicle model information, and output the arrangement position information.

Abstract: An exhaust gas control system includes: a housing, an exhaust gas purification catalyst, and a microwave irradiator. The microwave irradiator is configured to irradiate the exhaust gas purification catalyst with a microwave such that a standing wave that has: a high magnetic field region; and a high electric field region. The exhaust gas purification catalyst includes a carrier substrate and a catalytic substance that purifies the exhaust gas. The catalytic substance is disposed on the carrier substrate. The carrier substrate includes a magnetic body region and a dielectric region. The magnetic body region of the carrier substrate is disposed in the high magnetic field region in the housing. The dielectric region of the carrier substrate is disposed in the high electric field region in the housing. The magnetic body region has a magnetic body that absorbs the microwave. The dielectric region has a dielectric that absorbs the microwave.

Abstract: A driving plan of the vehicle is generated based on the map information and the information on the surroundings of the vehicle detected by a detection sensor, and an automated driving operation of the vehicle is controlled based on this driving plan. When a change in the operating state of the engine is predicted from the driving plan, an advanced control of the control command value of the engine operation control device where the control command value of the engine operation control device is made to change is started in advance of the predicted change of the operating state of the engine. When there is a demand for sudden stop of the vehicle contrary to the driving plan of the vehicle, this advanced control is stopped.

Abstract: The invention reduces exhaust emission by quickly supplying CO2 into a cylinder, and restraining a delay in EGR, when an EGR request occurs. An engine 10 includes an upstream EGR passage 34, a middle EGR passage 36, a downstream EGR passage 38, a bypass passage 40, an EGR valve 42, a changeover valve 44, an EGR cooler 46, a CO2 adsorbent 48. When an EGR request does not occur, the ECU 70 keeps a temperature of the CO2 adsorbent 48 in a release temperature region by the heater 50, and opens the EGR valve 42 by a valve opening set time period t so that a gas in the middle EGR passage 36 is replaced with CO2 released from the CO2 adsorbent. When an EGR request occurs, CO2 accumulated in the middle EGR passage 36 can be quickly supplied into a cylinder, without releasing CO2 from the CO2 adsorbent 48.
