A stop position control system of the present invention includes a controller configured to control the stop position of a stop vehicle that is to stop in a stop area. In the stop position control system, vehicle information on the stop vehicle and luggage information on luggage possessed by a user who is using the stop vehicle are acquired, a necessary stop interval required for loading/unloading the user's luggage from the stop vehicle in the stop area is set based on the vehicle information and the luggage information, and the necessary stop interval is transmitted to an adjacent vehicle that is to stop adjacent to the stop vehicle.

Stop position control system, stop position control method, and stop position control device

A controller includes an extraction unit, an arrival time calculation unit, a departure time calculation unit, a stop location calculation unit and a transmission unit. The extraction unit extracts stop-scheduled vehicles, which are scheduled to stop in a stopping area. The arrival time calculation unit calculates arrival times when the stop-scheduled vehicles will arrive at the stopping area based at least on user-side information of users who use the stop-scheduled vehicles, or on position information of the stop-scheduled vehicles. The departure time calculation unit calculates a scheduled departure order indicating an order in which the stop-scheduled vehicles will depart the stopping area. The stop location calculation unit calculates stop locations of the stop-scheduled vehicles based on the scheduled departure order. The transmission unit transmits information indicating the stop locations to the stop-scheduled vehicles.

Stop location control method, stop location control device, and stop location control system

A controller is configured to set a stopping order of a plurality of vehicles, which indicates the vehicle order at a stop location in a stopping area. The controller is further configured to estimate an arrival order, which indicates the order in which the plurality of vehicles arrive at a prescribed location, based on position information of the plurality of vehicles. The controller is further configured to determine whether the arrival order differs from the stopping order The controller is further configured to control the travel of at least one vehicle from among the plurality of vehicles upon determining that the arrival order differs from the stopping order, such that the arrival order is the same as the stopping order by a time the plurality of vehicles arrive at the prescribed location.

Vehicle control method, vehicle control device, and vehicle control system

A vehicle dispatching method is provided for managing a dispatch to a user of a first vehicle reserved by a user as a dispatch vehicle or a second vehicle that can be dispatched to a scheduled boarding point in which the user boards the dispatch vehicle, using a controller for communicating with communication devices in the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The method includes: acquiring, before the user arrives at the plan boarding point, position information of the first vehicle and position information of the second vehicle; calculating a first scheduled arrival period until the first vehicle arrives at the scheduled boarding point based on the acquired position information of the first vehicle; calculating a first waiting period difference between a user scheduled arrival period until the user arrives at the scheduled boarding point and the first scheduled arrival period; calculating a second scheduled arrival period until the second vehicle arrives at the scheduled boarding point for the user based on the acquired position information of the second vehicle; calculating a second waiting period difference between the user scheduled arrival period and the second scheduled arrival period; determining whether or not the second waiting period is shorter than the first waiting period; and when determining that the second waiting period is shorter than the first waiting period, designating the second vehicle as the dispatch vehicle.

Vehicle dispatching system, vehicle dispatching method, and vehicle dispatching device

A target path generation device is provided with a controller for generating the target path for an autonomous vehicle. The controller performs a method that includes acquiring travel path boundaries of a road in a host vehicle surroundings; determining a presence or absence of an occupant; generating a first target path with regards to the travel path boundaries upon determining that the occupant is present; generating a second target path with regards to the travel path boundaries upon determining no occupant is present; and imparting a difference in the target path between the first target path and the second target path when traveling on a curved road.

Method and device for generating target path for autonomous vehicle

A driving assistance device detects an object in front of a vehicle by an object detector, detects right/left turn information indicating that the vehicle passes across an opposite lane to turn right or left at an intersection after a predetermined period of time based on a current position and a traveling route of the vehicle included in road information, determines whether a standby vehicle waiting to turn right or left in the opposite lane is present in the intersection according to a detection result of the object detector and the road information when the right/left turn information is detected, estimates a blind spot of the object detector in the opposite lane caused by the standby vehicle, and sets a standby area in which the vehicle waits to turn right or left based on the estimated blind spot.

Driving assistance device and driving assistance method

A driving assistance device for a vehicle includes an object detection section for detecting objects present on the periphery of an own vehicle and determines whether the own vehicle is located within a predetermined region from an intersection. The driving assistance device extracts, from the detected objects, a first moving object which may come into collision with the own vehicle as the own vehicle enters the intersection. The driving assistance device extracts, from the detected objects, a second moving object crossing a road on which the first moving object is traveling between the own vehicle and the first moving object, and acquires motion information of the second moving object crossing the intersection. The driving assistance device determines that the own vehicle can enter the intersection when acquiring the motion information of the second moving object.

Driving assistance device for vehicle and driving assistance method for vehicle

A vehicle driving assistance apparatus includes a brake operation sensing device to sense a driver's brake operation, a steering operation sensing device to sense a driver's steering operation, a forward, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine whether there is a need for avoiding the obstacle, by examining a possibility of contact of the vehicle with the obstacle, and to produce a yaw moment to an obstacle avoiding direction advantageous for avoiding the obstacle, from the time of detection of the driver's brake operation, to the time of detection of the driver's steering operation, by adjusting a wheel brake/drive force distribution among wheels resulting from the driver's brake operation when there is the need for avoiding the obstacle.
