A driving load estimation apparatus can estimate the driving load of individual drivers in accordance with the driving environment. The driving load estimation apparatus can include a first VACP calculator configured to calculate a first VACP value based on information related to a driving environment of a vehicle and a correction value calculator configured to calculate a VACP correction value of each driver based on a steering operation in the driving environment. The driving load estimation apparatus estimates a driving load of the driver by correcting the first VACP value based on the VACP correction value.

A sleepiness level prediction device includes a vehicle information acquisition unit, a driver information acquisition unit, and a control unit. The vehicle information acquisition unit is configured to acquire information relating to a vehicle. The driver information acquisition unit is configured to acquire information relating to a driver. The control unit is configured to calculate a stimulus amount to be given to the driver based on a current driving load of the driver and a driving load after a prescribed time, based on the information relating to the vehicle, calculate a non-acclimation degree indicative of a level at which the driver is not acclimated to driving based on a change in the stimulus amount, and predict a sleepiness level of the driver after the prescribed time based on a current sleepiness level of the driver estimated based on the information relating to the driver and the non-acclimation degree.

The information control apparatus optimizes display control based on safety around a vehicle and a driver's level of ease regarding driving. An information control apparatus according to an embodiment includes a vehicle information acquisition interface that acquires information related to a vehicle, a driver information acquisition interface that acquires information related to a driver, and a controller that predicts the safety around the vehicle and the level of ease of the driver regarding driving based on the information related to the vehicle and the information related to the driver. The controller controls display information based on the safety and the level of ease.

Information control apparatus

Provided is an in-vehicle information processing system that can be operated intuitively. An in-vehicle information processing system () includes a display (), a touch operation interface (), an imaging unit (), and a controller (). The display () includes at least one screen. The touch operation interface () detects contact by an operation hand of an operator. The imaging unit () captures an image of the touch operation interface () and at least a portion of the operation hand. The controller () associates position coordinates in an operation region (R) on the screen with position coordinates in a predetermined region (R) of the touch operation interface () and causes at least a portion of the operation hand to be displayed in overlap on the screen on the basis of the image captured by the imaging unit ().
