摘要:
Devices, methods, and programs obtain vehicle position information indicating a current position of a vehicle, and based on the vehicle position information, obtain road information including positions and forms of lane markings around the current position of the vehicle. Based on the road information, the devices, systems, and methods determine whether a branch point exists on the road in a forward direction of the vehicle. If a branch point exists, the devices, methods, and programs obtain image information of an area before the branch point, and determine whether no lane marking is imaged or is partly imaged in the image information of the area before the branch point. If there is no lane marking or only a partial lane marking imaged in the area before the branch point, the devices, methods, and programs obtain image information of the branch point including a captured image of a lane marking, and determine a lane in which the vehicle is traveling after the branch point based on an imaging order of the lane marking, a form of the lane marking, a position of the lane marking in the image information of the branch point, and the road information.

A computer readable medium having stored thereon road-map-data including pieces of link information having different accuracy levels based on the accuracies of sources of the link information, whereby a computer is able to appropriately configure road-network data, on the basis of an accuracy level given in each of the pieces of link information. The road-map-data includes the road-network data representing roads as links and including connection relationships among the links, and the pieces of link information used to configure the road network data. Each piece of link information for a given link includes accuracy level information based on the accuracy of the source of that piece of link information.

An apparatus for supporting recovery of the vehicle if the vehicle is stolen includes a determining unit that determines whether the vehicle is being stolen. A camera judges a state of the vehicle and an environment around the vehicle. When the determining unit determines that the vehicle is being stolen, a horn of the vehicle is automatically honked.

Based on positioning accuracy of an own vehicle required for appropriately carrying out assistance control carried out according to a position of the own vehicle, an execution condition for map matching correcting the position of the own vehicle is set. Specifically, setting is made in such a manner that, as the positioning accuracy is higher and an error thereof is smaller, an execution frequency of map matching becomes higher. Then, map matching is carried out according to the thus-set execution condition.

An object recognition device detects a position of a vehicle based on a running path obtained by GPS, vehicle speed, steering angle, etc., and also detects the position of the vehicle based on a result of recognition of an object obtained using a captured image of a camera. The device computes a positioning accuracy in detecting the vehicle position, which accuracy mostly deteriorates as a movement distance of the vehicle increases. Positional data of the object on the road to be recognized is stored in a map database beforehand. A recognition range of the road of the object to be recognized is set based on the detected position of the vehicle, a position of the object stored in the map database, and the computed positioning accuracy. The object is recognized for the set recognition range by processing of the captured image of the camera.

A navigation apparatus is obtained that can reduce as much as possible to blank interval during the navigation even when a route deviation has occurred. In order to structure a navigation apparatus that includes a guided vehicle position determining portion 3c that finds the position of a guided vehicle and a recommended route searching portion 3i that searches for a recommended route to a destination point, a problem condition identifying portion 3f is provided that identifies the presence or absence of a problem condition that makes the travel along the recommended route Ro difficult when viewed in terms of the current condition of the guided vehicle with respect to the recommended route Ro forward travel side of the position of the guided vehicle, and a route deviation plan portion 3h is provided that sets a point that the guided vehicle is anticipated to reach under the presence of the problem condition to the starting point, activates the recommended route searching portion 3i, and searches for a new recommended route Rn from the starting point to a destination point in the case in which the problem condition identifying portion 3f has identified that a problem condition is present.

A driving support apparatus supports a driver in driving a vehicle. The driving support apparatus determines a state of the vehicle by collecting information concerning an operating condition of the vehicle, determines a plurality of optimum operations of the vehicle to achieve a corresponding objective based on the determined state, and arbitrates the determined optimum operations.

摘要:
To provide a driving support apparatus that performs guidance with suitable contents at suitable timing based on a situation. A GPS 11 obtains positional information, a lane recognizing section 12 recognizes a current driving lane that is a lane on the road in which the vehicle is currently running, a driver recognizing section 13 recognizes the driver, and a driving-history data 23 stores therein driving course along which the vehicle have been driven. A lane-course setting unit 22 sets a driving schedule lane that is a lane in which the vehicle is to be driven based on the driving schedule course set by an overall-course setting section 21 and the current driving lane, and a guiding process unit 30 controls a timing of performing course guidance and contents of the course guidance based on shapes of the road, difficulty in driving, skill of the driver, driving history, and traffic information.
摘要:
Systems, methods, and programs for determining whether a vehicle is off-road or on-road, store map data, determine the vehicle's current position; and obtain information about an area around the current position of the vehicle from the stored map data. The systems, methods, and programs obtain information related to a road-side zone of a road from the obtained information about the area around the current position of the vehicle, and determine that the road-side zone is crossed. The systems, methods, and programs may make an off-road determination if the determined current position of the vehicle was on-road before the crossing of the road-side zone and make an on-road determination if the current position of the vehicle was off-road before the crossing of the road-side zone.
