    Abstract: Provided are a vehicle, a vehicle monitoring server, a vehicle monitoring system, and a vehicle monitoring method, that can be suitably used in a configuration whereby the vehicle and the vehicle monitoring server communicate in relation to a travel caution region. A first control device in the vehicle sends an entry notification signal to the vehicle monitoring server prior to entry into a travel caution region, if the travel caution region is included in a target route or a target track. The first control device may also send a passage completed signal to the vehicle monitoring server after passing through the travel caution region. A second control device in the vehicle monitoring server performs an error output if, after receiving an entry notification signal from a specified vehicle, a passage completed signal has not been received by a second prescribed point in time.

    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle control device which, when traffic participants are waiting in the vicinity of a railroad crossing for a train to pass, appropriately controls driving of a vehicle about to pass through the railroad crossing. Entry of the vehicle into the railroad crossing is restrained until a waiting time elapses since when the railroad crossing transitioned from a passage blocking state to a passage allowing state, the waiting time being set in accordance with the kind or the number of the traffic participants present in the vicinity of the railroad crossing. When the waiting time has elapsed, the vehicle is caused to enter the railroad crossing and pass (through) the railroad crossing.

    Abstract: A behavior prediction device predicts behavior of another vehicle traveling around a host vehicle, and the behavior prediction device includes: a reference position setting unit that sets a reference position (reference line) along a shape of a road; a position detection unit that detects a position of the other vehicle; a distance calculation unit that calculates a distance from the reference position (reference line) to the other vehicle on the basis of information about the reference position (reference line) and information about the position of the other vehicle; and a prediction unit that predicts a trajectory of the other vehicle on the basis of information about the distance in time series calculated by the distance calculation unit.

    Abstract: Provided are a traveling control apparatus, a vehicle, and a traveling control method in which appropriateness of a user target destination can be taken into consideration. A traveling control apparatus acquires vicinity environment information from a vicinity environment detection unit. In addition, the traveling control apparatus determines whether or not a user target destination is appropriate for stopping a vehicle, on the basis of the vicinity environment information regarding the user target destination. Further, in the case where it is determined that the user target destination is not appropriate for stopping a vehicle, the traveling control apparatus stops a vehicle at a corrected target destination off track from the user target destination.

    Abstract: A vehicle control device is provided with: a surroundings recognition unit which recognizes external conditions around a host vehicle; a behavior determination unit which, if it is recognized that another vehicle is present along a travel path along which the host vehicle is traveling, determines behavior of the other vehicle; a space setting unit which, if the behavior deter urination unit determines that the other vehicle will cross the travel path, sets a space ahead of the other vehicle in accordance with the behavior of the other vehicle so that the other vehicle can secure fields of vision; and a vehicle control unit which performs control to form the space ahead of the other vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a space estimation unit that, in a case where it is recognized that a travel position of a host vehicle is inside a railroad crossing, which is a stop prohibited area, and it is recognized that a side road vehicle intends to enter in front of the host vehicle, on the assumption that the side road vehicle has entered in front of the host vehicle, estimates whether a space enough for the host vehicle is formed between the side road vehicle and the stop prohibited area, and a vehicle controller that, if it is estimated that the space is not formed, causes the host vehicle to perform entry prevention action to prevent the side road vehicle from entering in front of the host vehicle.
