The present invention ascertains an action schedule of an automatic driving system when a host vehicle is travelling in an automatic driving mode, and uses an indirect weak expression to convey the action schedule to a driver, at an action schedule presentation start location (P) which has more leeway with respect to a scheduled action location (P) (steps S, S). In the case of an acceleration/deceleration action schedule, an illuminance distribution of the speedometer dial plate, a virtual pointer or the like is used to express the action schedule such that the driver is able to intuitively ascertain the acceleration or deceleration. In the case of a steering action schedule, the steering direction is expressed using a change in illumination near the steering wheel representing the direction of steering or the like is used.

Information conveyance method during automatic driving, and in-vehicle information presentation device

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.

Meter device and meter unit provided with meter device reflecting visible rays to pointer and outputting infrared rays from pointer

An in-vehicle system is mountable on a vehicle having an automated driving function for automatically controlling at least one of steering and a vehicle speed of the vehicle. The in-vehicle system includes: an information presentation unit configured to present information related to automated driving to a driver of the vehicle; and a call management unit connectable to a mobile terminal capable of wireless communication. When a situation in which the information presentation unit presents information related to automated driving is detected, the call management unit automatically restricts an operation of the mobile terminal.

In-vehicle system

Until a lapse of a prescribed time from switching to a manual drive mode, a special judgment criterion for judging whether to generate an attention-arousing event is employed so that an attention-arousing event is generated more frequently than in an ordinary state and information is presented to a driver in a different expression form than in the ordinary situation. Since after occurrence of a handover the frequency of arousing attention of the driver is increased and attention of the driver is aroused in a different form, the driver realizes the switching to the manual drive mode soon and hence mode confusion can be avoided. Arousing attention of the driver is started earlier than in the ordinary situation by changing the judgment criterion for judging whether to generate an attention-arousing event.

Method for conveying information during an autonomous drive and vehicular information presenting device

An information providing apparatus for a vehicle includes in-vehicle devices, a communication network connected to each of the in-vehicle devices, a storage portion in which a signal change pattern based on the condition of each of the in-vehicle devices is stored in associated state for each situation around the vehicle, a situation determining portion that determines the situation around the vehicle based on the signal change of at least one in-vehicle device and the stored signal change pattern, an information acquiring portion that acquires information on the condition of the in-vehicle device related to the determined situation around the vehicle, an information generating portion that generates notification information on a recommended operation based on the information on the condition of the related in-vehicle device, and an information presenting portion that presents the notification information on the recommended operation.

Information providing apparatus for vehicle

A drive assisting apparatus includes a running state detection unit which detects a running state of a vehicle, a manipulation detection unit which detects a drive manipulation of a driver on the vehicle, a line-of-sight direction detection unit which detects a line-of-sight direction of the driver, a pattern storage unit which is stored in advance with data indicating combinations of a vehicle running state and a driver drive manipulation and a driver line-of-sight direction pattern, and a warning signal output unit. The warning signal output unit outputs a warning signal if a combination of the running direction detected by the running state detection unit, the drive manipulation detected by the manipulation detection unit, and the line-of-sight direction detected by the line-of-sight direction detection unit is different from any of the combinations of the data stored in the pattern storage unit.
