Abstract: A storage apparatus stores existing data including data relating to management of an instrument and data on actual records of the instrument, information on path structure of the existing data, mission information relating to a task in the facility operation, and information on the path structure of the mission information. An arithmetic operation apparatus extracts information on data meanings of terms contained in the existing data based on the existing data and the path structure of the existing data, and generates information of the degree of association between the plurality of terms. The arithmetic operation apparatus generates mission management information based on mission information, the path structure of the mission information, and the information on the degree of association between the terms, the mission management information including information on a meaning of each of a plurality of tasks relating to facility operation and chronological information on the plurality of tasks.

Abstract: A braking force control apparatus performs a brake assist control for assisting braking of a vehicle when there is an obstacle ahead of the vehicle and when a driver-deceleration, which is a deceleration corresponding to an operation of a brake pedal by a driver, is less than a necessary-deceleration, which is a deceleration needed to avoid the vehicle colliding with the obstacle. The braking force control apparatus includes: a calculator configured to calculate a deceleration profile in which a deceleration increases with time, as a part of the brake assist control, in order to stop the vehicle at a target position without the vehicle colliding with the obstacle; and an output device configured to output a target-deceleration based on the deceleration profile, as a requested-deceleration, as another part of the brake assist control.
