    Abstract: A concentration degree determination device includes: a monitoring data acquisition unit configured to acquire monitoring data from a sensor that monitors a driver; a concentration degree estimator configured to estimate a driving concentration degree of the driver from the monitoring data; a reference comparator configured to compare the driving concentration degree to a first-road reference when a vehicle is running on a first road, and to compare the driving concentration degree to a second-road reference when the vehicle is running on a second road; and a signal output unit configured to output an instruction signal issuing an instruction to perform support to the driver after elapse of a first time when the driving concentration degree does not satisfy the first-road reference, and to output the instruction signal after elapse of a second time shorter than the first time when the driving concentration degree does not satisfy the second-road reference.

    Abstract: In an occupant assisting apparatus, a destination arrival determination unit determines whether a vehicle has arrived at a destination of an occupant, a situation determination unit determines whether a surrounding situation is safe for the occupant to exit the vehicle based on a sensing result obtained from a surrounding situation detection sensor for detecting the surrounding situation of the vehicle when the destination arrival determination unit determines that the vehicle has arrived at the destination, and a door lock controller unlocks a door at a doorway of the vehicle when the surrounding situation is determined to be safe for the occupant to exit the vehicle.

    Abstract: In a passenger assisting apparatus, a passenger information obtaining unit obtains a destination and a contact of a passenger, a state determination unit determines, at the destination for example, whether the passenger is able to exit the vehicle based on a sensing result from a passenger state detection sensor for detecting a state of the passenger. An awakening assistance unit performs an awakening operation for the passenger when the state determination unit determines that the passenger is unable to exit the vehicle, and a contact notification unit provides a notification to the contact obtained by the passenger information obtaining unit when the state determination unit determines that the passenger is unable to exit the vehicle after the awakening operation.
