A support server includes a controlling portion configured to execute the followings: acquiring respective pieces of vehicle information on a plurality of vehicles present in a power outage area; specifying a power supply vehicle by which power supply is performable, from among the vehicles based on the respective pieces of vehicle information on the vehicles; and outputting, to the power supply vehicle, power supply information indicating that power supply is performable by the power supply vehicle.

Support server, disaster support system, and storage medium

An exhaust gas control system includes: a housing, an exhaust gas purification catalyst, and a microwave irradiator. The microwave irradiator is configured to irradiate the exhaust gas purification catalyst with a microwave such that a standing wave that has: a high magnetic field region; and a high electric field region. The exhaust gas purification catalyst includes a carrier substrate and a catalytic substance that purifies the exhaust gas. The catalytic substance is disposed on the carrier substrate. The carrier substrate includes a magnetic body region and a dielectric region. The magnetic body region of the carrier substrate is disposed in the high magnetic field region in the housing. The dielectric region of the carrier substrate is disposed in the high electric field region in the housing. The magnetic body region has a magnetic body that absorbs the microwave. The dielectric region has a dielectric that absorbs the microwave.

Exhaust gas control system for internal combustion engine

A driving plan of the vehicle is generated based on the map information and the information on the surroundings of the vehicle detected by a detection sensor, and an automated driving operation of the vehicle is controlled based on this driving plan. When a change in the operating state of the engine is predicted from the driving plan, an advanced control of the control command value of the engine operation control device where the control command value of the engine operation control device is made to change is started in advance of the predicted change of the operating state of the engine. When there is a demand for sudden stop of the vehicle contrary to the driving plan of the vehicle, this advanced control is stopped.

Automated driving system of vehicle

The invention reduces exhaust emission by quickly supplying CO2 into a cylinder, and restraining a delay in EGR, when an EGR request occurs. An engineincludes an upstream EGR passage, a middle EGR passage, a downstream EGR passage, a bypass passage, an EGR valve, a changeover valve, an EGR cooler, a CO2 adsorbent. When an EGR request does not occur, the ECUkeeps a temperature of the CO2 adsorbentin a release temperature region by the heater, and opens the EGR valveby a valve opening set time period t so that a gas in the middle EGR passageis replaced with CO2 released from the CO2 adsorbent. When an EGR request occurs, CO2 accumulated in the middle EGR passagecan be quickly supplied into a cylinder, without releasing CO2 from the CO2 adsorbent
