An information processing device includes: a first acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of a mobile terminal; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of a vehicle; a third acquisition unit configured to acquire movement means information of a holder of the mobile terminal; a determination unit configured to determine a likelihood of collision between the holder of the mobile terminal and the vehicle at a crossing based on a position of at least one crossing included in road information stored in a storage unit; and a notification unit configured to give a warning to at least one of the mobile terminal and a person in the vehicle based on a result of determination from the determination unit.

Information processing device, information processing method, and storage medium

When a subject vehicle reaches a first position of an interflow zone within an interflow lane, it is judged whether a condition for automatic interflow is satisfied. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interflow is not satisfied at the first position, a notification for urging manual interflow by a driver is stated to execute. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interflow is satisfied at the first position, the automatic interflow is stared to execute.

Vehicle control device, vehicle control method and computer-readable storage medium

When a subject vehicle reaches a first position of an interflow zone within an interflow lane, it is judged whether a condition for automatic interflow is satisfied. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interflow is not satisfied at the first position, a notification for urging a handover of a central player of the subject vehicle is stated to execute. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interflow is satisfied at the first position, the start of the execution of the notification is temporarily suspended.

When conditions have not been satisfied from a timing at which a first position of the interflow zone was set to a timing at which the subject vehicle reaches the first position, the first position is set as a start position where a notification for urging a handover of a central player of the subject vehicle is performed. When the condition for automatic interflow is satisfied for the first time at the timing at which the subject vehicle reaches the first position, a second position between the first position and a distal end of the interflow zone is set as the start position.

An autonomous driving system includes a lane change control device that performs lane change control for making a lane change from a first lane to a second lane during autonomous driving of a vehicle. The lane change control device is configured to: determine, from start to completion of the lane change control, whether or not a driver's operation is performed as an abort request operation that requests to abort the lane change control; when the abort request operation is performed, determine whether or not an abort permission condition is satisfied; when the abort permission condition is not satisfied, continue the lane change control; and, when the abort permission condition is satisfied, abort the lane change control and make the vehicle travel in the first lane. The lane change control device changes ease of satisfaction of the abort permission condition depending on the situation.

Autonomous driving system

An operating system for a vehicle-sharing service includes: a reservation input unit configured to input a usage reservation of an electric vehicle made by a user; a reservation result sending unit; a charging plan creating unit configured to create a charging plan for the electric vehicle; and a cost calculating unit configured to calculate an operation cost of the vehicle-sharing service based on a prediction of an available solar power supply. The charging plan creating unit creates the charging plan such that the operation cost of the vehicle-sharing service has a minimum cost under a predetermined acceptance condition. The result sending unit sends, to the user, a reservation result indicating that the usage reservation is unacceptable when the operation cost calculated according to the charging plan does not satisfy the predetermined acceptance condition.

Operating system for vehicle-sharing service

When a subject vehicle reaches a position PNO in a middle of an interflow zone, it is judged whether conditions for automatic interflow are satisfied. When it is judged that the conditions for automatic interflow are not satisfied at the position PNO, a notification for urging manual interflow by a driver is started. Otherwise, the notification for manual interflow is not started. In a case where the notification for manual interflow was not started, when the subject vehicle reaches the position PGU between a distal end of an interflow zone and the position PNO, the notification for manual interflow is started.

Vehicle control system

When the subject vehicle reaches the position PNO in the middle of the interflow zone, it is judged whether the conditions for automatic interflow are satisfied. When it is judged that the condition for automatic interflow are not satisfied at the position PNO, the notification for urging manual interflow by the driver is started. Otherwise, the notification for manual interflow is not started. In the case where the notification for manual interflow was not started, when the subject vehicle reaches the position PGU between the distal end of the interflow zone and the position PNO, the notification for manual interflow is started.

An autonomous driving system includes a lane change control device that performs lane change control for making a lane change from a first lane to a second lane during autonomous driving of a vehicle. From start to completion of the lane change control, the lane change control device determines whether or not a driver's operation is performed as an abort request operation that requests to abort the lane change control. Specifically, the lane change control device: calculates abort necessity level indicating necessity to abort the lane change control, based on driving environment information indicating driving environment for the vehicle; sets criterion for determination such that the criterion becomes more easily satisfied as the abort necessity level increases; and when the driver's operation satisfies the criterion for determination, determines that the driver's operation is performed as the abort request operation.

When generating a traveling path for divergent event, a traveling path generation portion judges an occurrence of a traffic jam on a divergent lane. The occurrence of the traffic jam on the divergent lane is judged based on whether or not a surrounding vehicle which satisfies a predetermined condition exist in a search region. If it is judged that the traffic jam is occurring on the divergent lane, a notice for handover from an automatic divergent operation to a manual divergent operation is given to a driver.

The lane change intention discrimination portion executes intention discrimination processing when it receives from the vehicle control ECU an instruction for controlling the blinker. The intention discrimination processing is processing to discriminate what type of pattern for the lane change operation was demanded in the instruction for controlling the blinker. The start and exit timing setting portion executes timing setting processing based on a discrimination result of the intention discrimination processing. The timing setting processing is processing to set a start timing and an exit timing of the lighting operation of the blinker.

A vehicular air conditioning device includes a blower, a heating heat exchanger, an auxiliary heater, and a blower controller. The heating heat exchanger heats blown air by exchanging heat between the blown air and the cooling water of the in-vehicle device emitting heat during operation. The blower controller is configured to control the operation of the blower. The blower controller is configured to increase a blowing capacity of the blower with increase of a temperature of the cooling water. The blower controller, during operation of the auxiliary heater, increases the blowing capacity after a waiting time during which the increase of the blowing capacity is prohibited has elapsed since a start-up switch of a vehicle system is turned on. The vehicular air conditioning is capable of implementing a quick warming of the in-vehicle device without impairing the heating feeling of occupant.

Vehicular air conditioning device

An autonomous driving system issues a notification to a driver of a vehicle during autonomous driving. The notification is a proposal or a previous notice of a vehicle action, or a request for manual driving. A notification timing is a timing to issue the notification to the driver. Necessary vehicle control required in connection with the notification includes acceleration/deceleration control and steering control. A start timing limit is a slowest timing to start the necessary vehicle control with which acceleration/deceleration and a steering speed during the necessary vehicle control can be respectively suppressed to predetermined values or lower. In a situation where the start timing limit is earlier than the notification timing, the autonomous driving system starts preliminary control, which is at least a part of the necessary vehicle control, at or before the start timing limit.

A power supply system is provided. The power supply system includes a first controller for controlling charge and discharge of a first electric storage apparatus and a second controller for controlling charge and discharge of a second electric storage apparatus. The first controller generates first scheduling data indicating transition of electric power to be charged and discharged from the first electric storage apparatus during a first prediction period. The second controller generates second scheduling data indicating transition of electric power to be charged and discharged from the second electric storage apparatus during a second prediction period containing the first prediction period. Generation of the first scheduling data is performed based on the second scheduling data previously generated by the second controller.
