Abstract: A drive switching determination apparatus for a vehicle that communicates with at least one nearby vehicle within a predetermined area includes an information notification unit that notifies the at least one nearby vehicle of a switch request to enable a manual drive mode in the vehicle, an information obtaining unit that obtains a response from the at least one nearby vehicle to the switch request, a switching determination unit that permits switching from an automatic drive mode to the manual drive mode in the vehicle based on the response from the at least one nearby vehicle, and a signal output unit that outputs a signal indicating the switching permission.

Abstract: A concentration degree determination device includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire a driving concentration degree of a driver of a vehicle; a reference setting unit configured to set a first reference or a second reference higher than the first reference for a manual driving mode that is switched from an automatic driving mode based on at least one of a first driving concentration degree and running information during execution of the automatic driving mode; a reference comparator configured to compare a second driving concentration degree during execution of the manual driving mode to the first or second reference; and an information output unit configured to output information according to a comparison result.

Abstract: A concentration degree determination device includes: a monitoring data acquisition unit configured to acquire monitoring data from a sensor that monitors a driver of a vehicle; 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 reference when a driving mode of the vehicle is an automatic driving mode, and to compare the driving concentration degree to a second reference when the driving mode is a manual driving mode; and a signal output unit configured to output an instruction signal instructing performance of support to the driver when the driving mode is the automatic driving mode while the driving concentration degree does not satisfy the first reference, or when the driving mode is the manual driving mode while the driving concentration degree does not satisfy the second reference.

Abstract: A concentration degree determination device includes: a monitoring data acquisition unit configured to acquire monitoring data from a sensor that monitors a driver of a vehicle; a concentration degree estimator configured to estimate a first driving concentration degree of the driver from the monitoring data based on at least one index constituting a first index group when a driving mode is automatic, and to estimate a second driving concentration degree of the driver from the monitoring data based on at least one index constituting a second index group when the driving mode is manual; a reference comparator configured to compare the first driving concentration degree or the second driving concentration degree to a reference; and a signal output unit configured to output an instruction signal instructing performance of support to the driver when the first driving concentration degree or the second driving concentration degree does not satisfy the reference.
