This traveling route deciding device includes: an obstacle information acquisition unit which acquires obstacle information at regular intervals; an obstacle determination unit which determines whether each obstacle is a moving object or a static object, for all obstacles acquired by the obstacle information acquisition unit; a moving object list update unit which, in a case where it is determined that the obstacle is a moving object, registers the obstacle in a moving object list; a traveling prohibited area update unit which, in a case where it is determined that the obstacle is a static object, registers an area including the obstacle as a traveling prohibited area; and a traveling route deciding unit which performs calculation for avoiding collision between the vehicle and each obstacle on the basis of the updated moving object list and traveling prohibited area without using the continued traveling prohibited area, thus correcting a preset traveling route.

Traveling route deciding device and automated driving system

An apparatus includes a conduit configured to circulate magnetic fluid, and a magnetic field generator that applies a magnetic field to the magnetic fluid. The conduit includes at least four areas of a first conduit area in which the magnetic fluid receives heat from a heating unit, a second conduit area from the first conduit area to a cooling unit, a third conduit area in which the magnetic fluid is cooled by the cooling unit, and a fourth conduit area from the cooling unit to the heating unit. When the apparatus is used, a volume of the magnetic fluid in one of the first to fourth conduit areas, in which a flow direction of the magnetic fluid coincides with a gravity direction, is larger than that of another conduit area, in which the flow direction of the magnetic fluid does not coincide with the gravity direction.
