A route guidance system, a route guidance method, and a computer program are provided that enable a user to understand in advance a section where automated driving control is interrupted. The route guidance system is configured to: when a recommended route from a departure point to a destination including an automated driving section where automated driving control of a vehicle is performed is searched for, acquire candidate routes that are candidates for the recommended route; specify, for each of the candidate routes, an interruption section where the automated driving control is interrupted in the automated driving section included in the candidate route; and provide guidance, for each of the candidate routes, in a manner distinguishing a section that corresponds to the interruption section from a section that does not correspond thereto in the automated driving section included in the candidate route.

Route guidance system, route guidance method, and computer program

A parking control system includes a range-switching device that operates in conjunction with the range selection device and that switches the lock mechanism to an engaged state and a released state in conjunction with a switching of one of the driving range and the non-driving range of the drive unit; a vehicle parking brake unit that is operated based on an electric range position signal, which corresponds to the driving range and the non-driving range of the drive unit, and that switches a brake unit, which is provided to stop a rotation of the rotating member of the vehicle, between a braking state and a released state; and a control unit that operates the vehicle parking brake unit based on the range position signal of the vehicle.

Parking control system for vehicle

A vehicle parking control system includes a shift-by-wire apparatus that is operated based on an electric range position signal corresponding to one of the driving range and the non-driving range of the drive unit and that switches the lock mechanism to an engaged state and a released state in conjunction with a switching of one of the driving range and the non-driving range of the drive unit; a vehicle parking brake unit that is operated based on the range position signal and that switches a brake unit, which is provided to stop a rotation of the rotating member of the vehicle, between a braking state and a released state; and a control unit that operates the shift-by-wire apparatus and the vehicle parking brake unit based on the range position signal.
