Abstract
A configuration that decides whether or not a driver has alertness sufficient for manual driving by analyzing eye behaviors of the driver trying to solve a problem displayed on the display section is realized. It is made possible to decide whether or not the driver of a moving apparatus that can be driven in a driving mode that can be switched to automated driving and manual driving has alertness sufficient to return to manual driving on the basis of eye behaviors of the driver. An eye-behavior analyzing section that analyzes an eye behavior of the driver who observes a problem displayed on a display section and an alertness deciding section that decides alertness of the driver on the basis of a result of the analysis by the eye-behavior analyzing section are included. The alertness deciding section analyzes whether or not the driver executes an eye behavior such as a fixation or a microsaccade for solving the problem, and decides whether or not the driver has alertness sufficient to return to manual driving.
