A virtual-accident-image generation device includes: a dangerous driving determiner capable of determining, based on vehicle information regarding a vehicle driven by a driver, that driving of the driver corresponds to dangerous driving; a virtual-accident-object generator that generates, based on the vehicle information and a determination result that was determined by the dangerous driving determiner and indicates that the driving of the driver corresponds to the dangerous driving, a virtual accident object that would potentially get into an accident with the vehicle if the virtual accident object were actually present, in an image of a scene where the driver is driving the vehicle; and a virtual-accident-image generator that generates, based on the virtual accident object generated by the virtual-accident-object generator, a virtual accident image showing a virtual accident between the vehicle and the virtual accident object, and outputs the virtual accident image generated.

Virtual-accident-image generation device, virtual-accident-image generation method, and recording medium

A controller determines a travel route from a starting position to a target position in a parking lot and transmits information on at least a section in the travel route to a vehicle, and a monitor monitors the vehicle for a deviation from the travel route during autonomous travel of the vehicle in the section by using a vehicle monitoring system outside the vehicle. When a deviation is detected in the monitoring, the controller determines a correction route for correcting the deviation, and transmits the correction route to the vehicle. When the controller determines that the vehicle cannot travel along the correction route, the controller determines an evacuation route with the current position of the vehicle set to the starting position and a predetermined location set to the target position, and transits the evacuation route to the vehicle such that the vehicle travels along the evacuation route.
