A vehicle management system includes an imaging device provided in a shared vehicle to capture a plurality of passengers on the vehicle, a detection unit that detects that a user, who is one of the passengers, has performed a predetermined motion which is a motion registered in advance, based on a capturing result by the imaging device, and a controller that controls the vehicle based on a predetermined command, which is a command registered in advance as a command corresponding to the predetermined motion, when the predetermined motion is detected.

Vehicle management system

In a vehicle control system, when an occupant visually recognizes a signboard and signboard course information is included in signboard information corresponding to the signboard, the signboard information is displayed on a display device. When the signboard course information out of the signboard information is visually recognized continuously, a control device generates course information based on the signboard course information. The generated course information is output to a vehicle control ECU, and course change processing based on the course information is performed by the vehicle control ECU.

Vehicle control system

A passenger support system includes a speaker, cameras, a vibrator, a seat switch, and a control device. The control device issues destination approach information by the speaker before the vehicle arrives at the destination based on results from comparing the current location information of the vehicle with the destination information of passenger. After issuing the destination approach information, the control device identifies the seat position based on the images captured by the cameras and performs awakening action by the vibrator at the seat corresponding to the specified seat position. The control device stops the awakening action by the vibrator when a stop operation is received from the seat switch.

A meter device includes a rotation shaft, a pointer provided in an end part of the rotation shaft and rotating integrally with the rotation shaft, an illumination light source which outputs visible rays to the pointer, a light source of infrared rays which is arranged in parallel to the illumination light source and outputs the infrared rays to the pointer, and a reflection part provided in the pointer to substantially reflect the visible rays into the pointer and to substantially pass and output the infrared rays from a central part of rotation of the pointer.

A control device in a vehicle display system includes: a gazed image display output unit configured to display a normal gazed image in a part of each of main screen areas; a gazed image visual recognition determination unit configured to determine, based on a line-of-sight state, whether an occupant visually recognizes a normal gazed image in one of the main screen areas; and a main screen area selection unit configured to select, based on an input unit, the main screen area corresponding to the normal gazed image determined to be visually recognized by the occupant. Earlier selection display information displayed in an earlier selection main screen area selected earlier by the main screen area selection unit is displayed in a later selection main screen area selected later.

Vehicle display system using gaze interactions with multiple display areas

A monitoring system includes a pair of a right-side light source and a left-side light source for irradiating the face of an occupant with light, the pair being disposed in the horizontal direction with a camera interposed therebetween when the camera is viewed from the vertical direction. The right-side light source and the left-side light source are alternately turned on for each imaging by the camera. The camera obtains each of a first face image that is imaged in accordance with lighting of the right-side light source and a second face image that is imaged in accordance with lighting of the left-side light source. A controller determines the visual line state based on the first face image, and the second face image that is obtained at a time point proximate to the time point at which the first face image is obtained.
