An information management system includes: a first storage unit configured to store road information in which first information acquired by a first sensor and indicating that there is no stationary object on a road and second information acquired by a second sensor and indicating that there is a stationary object on the road are associated with each other; a second storage unit configured to store, for each of types of moving objects configured to move on the road, passage possibility information related to possibility of passage on the road; and a determination unit configured to determine, for each of the types, whether the road is usable for passage based on the road information and the passage possibility information.

Information management system, information management apparatus, and information management method

Based on position information indicating a position of a vehicle on a map, whether the vehicle has arrived at an entrance of an area in a vicinity of a destination of the vehicle where road links do not exist is determined, a history of the vehicle having parked in the area is stored as parking information, the parking information is referenced when it is determined that the vehicle has arrived at the area, and guidance information is output as information which guides the vehicle based on recommendation information and which includes at least a parking position in the area.

In-vehicle apparatus and processing method thereof

A driving domain management unit which includes a change pattern setting portion that selects one of multiple typical patterns previously patterning drivable domains based on input information changing in time series; a driving condition monitor portion that determines an event based on collected event related information from the outside; an exclusion domain management portion that determines an exclusion domain prohibiting driving of the vehicles in preference to the driving permission domain based on position information about the event, the position information being contained in the event related information used for the determination of the event; a distribution portion that distributes, to the vehicles, the selected typical pattern and the information about the determined exclusion domain or the information based on these pieces of information; and a data storage portion that stores the multiple typical patterns and the exclusion domain information.

Driving domain management unit, driving domain management system, and driving domain management method

The vehicle assistance system includes an infrastructure sensor installed in a predetermined place to detect an obstacle, an onboard apparatus connected to an onboard sensor which is mounted on the vehicle and which detects an obstacle, and a server installed in a place different from that of the infrastructure sensor. In the infrastructure sensor, the abnormality determination unit compares the first obstacle information related to the obstacle detected by the sensor unit and the second obstacle information related to the obstacle detected by the onboard sensor existing in a location different from that of the sensor unit, and determines whether or not the sensor unit or the onboard sensor is abnormal based on the result of this comparison.

Abnormality determination apparatus, vehicle assistance system, and server

A vehicle control system includes in-vehicle devices, a comparison unit, and an occupation management unit. The comparison unit calculates a section and time of a road occupied by a first vehicle and unavailable for another vehicle to travel based on the trajectory of the first vehicle generated by the trajectory generation unit. The occupation management unit adds the section and the time calculated by the comparison unit into the occupation information.

Vehicle control system and computing device

The server includes an infrastructure cooperation section determination unit that determines an infrastructure cooperation section indicating a range in which an in-vehicle device performs a cooperative operation with an infrastructure sensor and performs traveling support of the host vehicle, and transmits cooperative operation information for the in-vehicle device to start or stop the cooperative operation with the infrastructure sensor to the in-vehicle device based on the infrastructure cooperation section determined by the infrastructure cooperation section determination unit. The in-vehicle device sets or cancels the cooperative operation mode by the mode setting unit based on the cooperative operation information transmitted from the server.

Server and vehicle control system

A server includes: a candidate trajectory generation part for generating a candidate traveling trajectory of a target vehicle; a trajectory simulator for executing a trajectory simulation on the candidate traveling trajectory generated by the candidate trajectory generation part; a trajectory evaluation part for determining a traveling trajectory based on a result of the trajectory simulation; a vehicle coordination part for transmitting information of the traveling trajectory determined by the trajectory evaluation part to an onboard device; an infrastructure coordination part for obtaining sensing information from an infrastructure sensor; an ambient environment generation part for generating information indicating an ambient environment of the traveling trajectory, based on the sensing information obtained by the infrastructure coordination part; and a resetting determination part for determining whether to reset the traveling trajectory.

An information system includes an in-vehicle terminal that is mounted on a host vehicle and a server that communicates with the in-vehicle terminal. The server includes a running history DB in which a running history of the host vehicle is stored for each driver, a driving skill-level determination unit, a driving skill-level DB in which a driving skill-level determined by the driving skill-level determination unit is stored, and a distribution information control unit that distributes driving assistance information based on the driving skill-level stored in the driving skill-level DB to the in-vehicle terminal. The driving skill-level determination unit determines a driving skill-level of a driver based on the running history stored in the running history DB and a driving skill element definition list representing a difficulty level of driving predefined for each driving skill element.
