Abstract: A vehicle display system includes: a display device that is mounted on an outer surface of a vehicle and that includes a display unit that notifies information to outside of the vehicle; and a controller that controls the display device. The controller receives a state inside the vehicle cabin from at least one of a device that changes the state inside the vehicle cabin of the vehicle and a device that detects the state inside the vehicle cabin, and performs control of displaying information indicating the state on the display unit of the display device.

Abstract: A ramp system includes: a ramp main body provided in a door opening and configured to be able to advance from a vehicle floor toward a road surface; a ramp-state detection device configured to detect an advancing-retracting state of the ramp main body; a display device configured to display an image in a display area observable from an operator seat; and a UI controller configured to control display on the display device. The UI controller causes the display device to display a state image including an image indicative of the advancing-retracting state.

Abstract: A display system of a vehicle includes a person detection device that detects a person on one side of the vehicle in a top view of the vehicle, a display device provided on the vehicle exterior on the side opposite to the one side of the vehicle, and a controller that controls the display device. When the person detection device detects a person, the controller controls the display device to display a warning indicating presence of the person, on a display of the display device.

Abstract: An engine is prevented from being started by a remote operation in a case where an angle of inclination detected by an acceleration sensor is not within a predetermined angle range in a situation where a shift position is not set to a neutral position in a manual transmission.

Abstract: A vehicle occupant detection system includes a processor that extracts, using an occupant detection area position information stored in a memory, an occupant detection area within a captured image of an in-vehicle camera, and detects any occupant in that area. The processor executes a correction mode using a correction-purpose image obtained by capturing, using the camera, a linearly-extending metal frame exposed when a vehicle door is open. In the correction mode, the processor detects an actual position of the metal frame in the correction-purpose image, calculates, as a shift amount, a difference between the actual metal frame position and an expected metal frame position in the correction-purpose image, and updates the occupant detection area position information in the memory such that an area reached by moving the occupant detection area of the current captured image by the shift amount serves as the occupant detection area of a new captured image.

Abstract: A vehicle doorway camera includes vehicle doors and a vicinity of the doors in a cabin within an imaging range. A vehicle interior monitoring ECU is provided with a gravity center calculating section and a determining section. The gravity center calculating section calculates an occupant's gravity center position included in a captured image. The determining section determines whether or not the gravity center position is included in a keep out area provided in the vicinity of the doors. A loudspeaker issues an alarm inside the cabin when it is determined by the determining section that the gravity center position is included in the keep out area.

Abstract: A ramp-equipped vehicle includes a ramp that is provided so as to be deployable from a side portion of a vehicle body to the outside of the vehicle body, a controller that controls the operation of deploying the ramp, and a sensor that senses moving bodies present in a certain area that is away from a ramp deployment area. The controller detects the moving bodies approaching the ramp deployment area and determines the moving velocities of the moving bodies based on the results of sensing by the sensor. The controller stops the operation of deploying the ramp when, after the start of the operation of deploying the ramp, it detects the approaching moving body having a moving velocity higher than or equal to a predetermined reference velocity with which the approaching moving bodies may reach the ramp deployment area during the operation of deploying the ramp.
