    Abstract: A vehicle that is remotely operable by an operator is provided. The vehicle includes a communication circuit that receives a vehicle operation signal including an accelerator input value based on a first operation performed by the operator, a steering angle sensor that measures a steering angle of the vehicle, a speed sensor that measures a speed of the vehicle, and a processor. The processor corrects the accelerator input value such that when the absolute value of an angular measure of the steering angle is greater than or equal to a predetermined angular measure and the speed is greater than zero, the accelerator input value is corrected so as to reduce the speed to a value that is less than when the absolute value of the angular measure of the steering angle is less than the first predetermined angular measure and the speed is greater than zero.

    Abstract: A communication method in a roadside unit that acquires first dynamic information indicative of a dynamic object around the roadside unit and second dynamic information indicative of a dynamic object around in-vehicle units includes: selecting at least one in-vehicle unit from among the plurality of in-vehicle units on a basis of a list in which the second dynamic information and the in-vehicle units having the second dynamic information are associated with each other; acquiring the first dynamic information indicative of a state around the roadside unit acquired by a sensor mounted in the roadside unit; configurating a dynamic map on a basis of the acquired first dynamic information, the second dynamic information acquired from the selected in-vehicle unit, and a static map indicative of a static object; and transmitting the dynamic map to one or more of the in-vehicle units that communicate with the roadside unit.

    Abstract: An operator uses a remote operation apparatus to remotely operate an operated vehicle. The remote operation apparatus includes a position information processor which, based on vehicle position information indicating a current position of the operated vehicle and delay information indicating a delay time required for information transmission between the operated vehicle and the remote operation apparatus, generates first position information indicating a first predicted position of the operated vehicle from the current position of the operated vehicle considering the delay time; based on obstacle position information indicating a current position of at least one obstacle around the operated vehicle acquired by the operated vehicle and the delay information, generates second position information indicating a second predicted position of the at least one obstacle from the time of the current position of the obstacle considering the delay time; and outputs the first and second position information.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are provided for controlling an autonomous car. The embodiments acquire meeting information indicating a place of a meeting and a time of the meeting. A remaining time between the time of the meeting and a current time is calculated. A waiting time for waiting in a waiting place by the autonomous car and a traveling time for traveling to the place of the meeting by the autonomous car are determined. The waiting and traveling times are determined to minimize a total cost and to make a total time within the remaining time. The total cost includes a cost of the traveling and a cost of the waiting. The total time includes the waiting and traveling times. A route along which the autonomous car is to travel to the place of the meeting within the traveling time is determined.

    Abstract: A method used in a server includes configurating a dynamic map by superimposing time-changing information on a road onto a static map based on first data indicative of surrounding information acquired by a first sensor mounted in a roadside unit; computing a first region that is incapable of being observed by the first sensor; receiving a plurality of attribute information items related to respective second sensors mounted in respective vehicles running on the road from the vehicles; selecting a specific second sensor from among the second sensors based on the attribute information items and the first region; receiving specific second data acquired by the specific second sensor among a plurality of pieces of second data acquired by the second sensors; reconfigurating the dynamic map by filling the first region by using the specific second data; and distributing the reconfigurated dynamic map to at least one of the vehicles.
