A communication method of the present disclosure includes detecting or estimating a decrease in throughput of a first communication terminal mounted on a first vehicle that is remotely driven, and reducing a communication speed of a second communication terminal with which the first communication terminal shares a communication resource in response to detection or estimation of the decrease in the throughput.

Communication method, communication system, and storage medium

A server receives a return request of a rental car including information on a usage end position of a car rental service desired by a user from a terminal of the user who has rented a rental car or the rental car. The server searches for a remote driving route of the rental car based on the information on the usage end position and information on a destination of the rental car for after the user finishes using the car rental service. The server compares the remote driving route with a communication area on a map. Then, the server transmits information indicating permission to drop off the rental car to the terminal of the user or the rental car when an entire route of the remote driving route is located inside the communication area.

A multifunctional vehicle includes a traveling input device that is operated by a driver of the multifunctional vehicle; an information processing device that processes operation information of the traveling input device and that switches and executes a normal driving mode for driving the multifunctional vehicle and a remote driving mode for driving the other vehicle; wearable glasses that communicate with another vehicle directly or via the information processing device; and a communication device that communicate with the other vehicle. In the normal driving mode, a vehicle control of the multifunctional vehicle is executed using control information generated based on the operation information. In the remote driving mode, the control information is transmitted to the other vehicle via the communication device. The wearable glasses are configured to display a surrounding image of the other vehicle during execution of the remote driving mode by the information processing device.

A wind break having a blade is mounted between an inbound lane and an outbound lane, which is the opposite lane of the inbound lane. The blade has a back surface facing the same direction as an inbound traveling direction and a front surface facing the same direction as an outbound traveling direction. The back surface has a concave part that is concave in the same direction as the outbound traveling direction in order to change wind blowing from the outbound lane into wind having a component of the inbound traveling direction. The front surface has a concave part that is concave in the same direction as the inbound traveling direction in order to change wind blowing from the inbound lane into wind having a component of the outbound traveling direction.

In a vehicle travel support device, an ECUincludes an air resistance distribution acquisition unit, a target traveling position determination unit, and a travel support unit. The air resistance distribution acquisition unitacquires air resistance distribution in the left and right directions of a host vehicle. The target traveling position determination unitdetermines a target traveling position of the host vehicle against a preceding vehicle using the air resistance distribution. The travel support unitperforms support to guide the host vehicle to the target traveling position. According to this vehicle travel support device, even if an area in which a large aerodynamic effect is obtained by a preceding vehicle deviates in the left and right directions of the host vehicle, the host vehicle can be guided to a position corresponding to the deviation. Because of this, the fuel efficiency can be effectively improved.
