    摘要: A route searching system, a route searching method, and computer program are provided that enable selection of an appropriate recommended route for a user in consideration of interruption of automated driving control. The route searching system is configured to: when a recommended route from a departure point to a destination including an automated driving section where automated driving control of a vehicle is performed is searched for, acquire a plurality of candidate routes as candidates for the recommended route (S4); for each candidate route, specify an interruption section where the automated driving control is interrupted in the automated driving section in the candidate route (S8, S9); based on the interruption section, for each candidate route, acquire interruption information indicating that the automated driving control is interrupted in the automated driving section in the candidate route (S10); and, based on the interruption information, select the recommended route from the candidate routes (S12).

    摘要: Automated drive assisting systems, methods, and programs acquire an expected travel route for a vehicle that includes an automated drive section in which automated drive control for the vehicle is permitted, and execute the automated drive control for the vehicle such that the vehicle travels along the expected travel route in the automated drive section which is included in the expected travel route. The systems, methods, and programs make a changeover from the automated drive control to manual drive based on a drive operation by a user in the case where there is a branch point that meets a predetermined condition ahead in a travel direction of the vehicle which travels through the automated drive control in the automated drive section, the changeover being made before the branch point.

    摘要: There is provided a technique for arranging characters along a road to improve appearance and readability. A map display system includes a temporarily arranging part that obtains directions of a plurality of characters for when the plurality of characters are temporarily arranged along a road in a direction of the road, the direction of the road being a reference direction; and an arranging part that arranges, when a difference between directions of consecutive characters is greater than or equal to a threshold value, the consecutive characters so as to reduce the difference, the consecutive characters being two consecutive characters in the direction of the road, and arranges, when the difference is less than the threshold value, the consecutive characters in a temporary arrangement position.

    摘要: A route guidance system, a route guidance method, and a computer program are provided that enable a user to understand in advance a section where automated driving control is interrupted. The route guidance system is configured to: when a recommended route from a departure point to a destination including an automated driving section where automated driving control of a vehicle is performed is searched for, acquire candidate routes that are candidates for the recommended route; specify, for each of the candidate routes, an interruption section where the automated driving control is interrupted in the automated driving section included in the candidate route; and provide guidance, for each of the candidate routes, in a manner distinguishing a section that corresponds to the interruption section from a section that does not correspond thereto in the automated driving section included in the candidate route.

    摘要: Drive assist systems, methods, and programs display, on a display, an image in which a destination location icon that indicates a destination location is superimposed on a scene in front of a mobile body. The systems, methods, and programs acquire a length of a frontage of the destination location along a road on which the mobile body is present and specify a display position of the destination location icon on the basis of an estimated position of the mobile body such that the display position of the destination location icon is a position within the frontage. The systems, methods, and programs display on the display, an image in which the destination location icon is superimposed on the display position of the destination location icon in the scene in front of the mobile body.
