    摘要: A server apparatus determines whether a vehicle without an emergency notification system is included in accident vehicles based on image data received from peripheral vehicles or peripheral portable devices. When the vehicle without the emergency notification system is included, the server acquires position data on a vehicle having issued an emergency notification. The server requests a base station covering the acquired position to send an information provision request to vehicles and portable devices present in a set target area. The server collects accident information from the peripheral vehicles and the peripheral portable devices, and collects information from the vehicles and the portable devices present in the set target area. The extractor extracts accident information from the information collected from the vehicles or the portable devices present in the set target area based on the position data. The server notifies an emergency notification center of the accident information collected or extracted.

    摘要: An automatic reverse driving controller includes a control unit. The control unit includes a traveling information input unit, a traveling information storage unit, an automatic reverse traveling instruction input unit, and a processing unit. The traveling information input unit inputs information on a traveling trajectory of the vehicle and a road surface condition.
    The traveling information storage unit stores the inputted information on the traveling trajectory and the road surface condition. The automatic reverse traveling instruction input unit receives an input of an instruction to switch from traveling by a driving operation of a driver of the vehicle to automatic reverse traveling by the control unit. The processing unit corrects, in response to the input of the instruction, a traveling trajectory of an outward route on the basis of the road surface condition to determine a traveling route for a return route, and control reverse traveling of the vehicle.

    摘要: An agent system includes a microphone, a speaker, an interpretation unit, a memory, and a control processor. The microphone collects voices of occupants in the interior of a vehicle compartment of a vehicle. The speaker outputs a voice sound to the interior of the vehicle compartment. The interpretation unit acquires the voices of the occupants collected by the microphone and interprets contents of utterances of the occupants included in the voices acquired. The memory stores data on the utterances interpreted by the interpretation unit and data on the respective occupants who are utterers of the utterances associated with each other. The control processor designates an occupant who has uttered most frequently among the occupants as a listener based on the data stored in the memory, determines topics to be outputted to the listener, and performs control to output the topics as the voice sound via the speaker.

    摘要: A vehicle serving as a first vehicle includes a communicator, an identification unit, a collector, and a notification unit. The communicator communicates with one or more second vehicles upon occurrence of a multiple-vehicle accident involving multiple vehicles. The one or more second vehicles include the vehicles involved in the multiple-vehicle accident. The identification unit uniquely identifies a vehicle that is to issue an emergency notification by communicating with the one or more second vehicles. The collector collects accident information from the one or more second vehicles when the first vehicle corresponds to the vehicle that is to issue the emergency notification. The notification unit notifies an emergency notification center of the accident information collected by the collector as notification information.

    摘要: A vehicle includes an information collector, a detector, a setting unit, an accelerator position detector, and a control processor. The information collector collects information regarding an occupant of the vehicle to be used for determining a mood of the occupant. The detector detects the mood of the occupant based on the information. The setting unit performs setting of a sound quality parameter of a traveling sound to be outputted to an interior of a vehicle compartment of the vehicle based on the mood of the occupant. The accelerator position detector detects an accelerator position of the vehicle. The control processor generates the traveling sound based on the sound quality parameter and the accelerator position, and outputs the traveling sound to the interior of the vehicle compartment of the vehicle.

    摘要: A vehicle control system includes at least one processor and a storage medium configured to store a program to be executed by the at least one processor. The program includes at least one command. The at least one command causes the at least one processor to execute a key lock-out prevention process of controlling a lock mechanism of a door of a vehicle into an unlocked state in a case where a key that operates the lock mechanism is positioned inside the vehicle, and a vehicle protection process of controlling the lock mechanism into a locked state without executing the key lock-out prevention process in a case where, after automatic stop of the vehicle, an occupant present inside the vehicle is not detected and the key is positioned inside the vehicle.

    摘要: An occupant state detection system includes an occupant monitoring apparatus, a determination apparatus, and an occupant state detection apparatus. The occupant state detection apparatus includes one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more memories store data including traveling-state comparative data and stopped-state comparative data. The one or more processors cooperate with one or more programs included in the one or more memories to receive occupant monitoring data from the occupant monitoring apparatus and determination data from the determination apparatus. On the basis of the determination data, the one or more processors compare the occupant monitoring data with the traveling-state comparative data on the condition that the vehicle is in the traveling state, and compare the occupant monitoring data with the stopped-state comparative data on the condition that the vehicle is in the stopped state, to detect a state of the occupant in the vehicle.

    摘要: An occupant state detection system includes first and second occupant monitoring apparatuses, a determination apparatus, and an occupant state detection apparatus. The first and second occupant monitoring apparatuses monitor a physical state of an occupant in a vehicle in different methods. The occupant state detection apparatus includes one or more first processors and one or more first memories. Upon receiving data indicating that the vehicle is in a stopped state from the determination apparatus, the one or more first processors cooperate with one or more programs in the one or more first memories to: make assignment of a part to be monitored and data to be acquired, of the occupant in the vehicle, to be detected by the first and second occupant monitoring apparatuses; and detect the physical state of the occupant on the basis of first and second occupant monitoring data from the first and second occupant monitoring apparatuses.
