    摘要: A distribution calculation process, a similarity level calculation process, a similarity level evaluation process, and a collision determination process are executed. In the distribution calculation process, a probability density distribution related to a future position of a moving object is calculated for each behavior pattern using position data and speed data of the moving object, error data thereof, and a plurality of behavior models set for each behavior pattern corresponding to a type of the moving object. In the similarity level calculation process, a similarity level between the probability density distribution and a reference probability density distribution is calculated for each behavior pattern. In the similarity level evaluation process, the similarity level is evaluated. The similarity level includes an out-of-range level falling below a similarity allowable range. In the similarity level evaluation process, the behavior pattern having the out-of-range level is excluded from a target of the collision determination process.

    摘要: In deceleration set processing, first-class and second-class deceleration are specified. The first-class deceleration is deceleration of the vehicle corresponding to a first-class state. The first-class state is a state of a slowdown target of the vehicle. The second-class deceleration is deceleration of a following moving body corresponding to a second-class state. The second-class state is a state of the vehicle as viewed from the following moving body. If a minimum value of the first-class deceleration (a first-class minimum value) is equal to or greater than a minimum value of the second-class deceleration (a second-class minimum value), target deceleration is set to the first-class minimum value. Otherwise, based on a second-class minimum value phase, the target deceleration is set to deceleration equal to or greater than the second-class minimum value. The second-class minimum value phase is a phase to which the second-class minimum value belongs in a second deceleration feature.

    摘要: A processor of a vehicle determines whether remote assistance from a remote facility is necessary during autonomous driving control. When determination is made that the remote assistance is necessary, the processor generates a target trajectory of the vehicle that includes an expected waiting position. The expected waiting position is a position where the vehicle is expected to wait for reception of an assistance signal from the remote facility. The processor calculates a traveling efficiency level indicating a level of traveling efficiency required in the vehicle, and calculates, based on the traveling efficiency level, a request timing to transmit a request signal for the remote assistance to the remote facility. When the traveling efficiency level is low in calculation of the request timing, the processor outputs a late timing.

    摘要: Camera image information includes an image that is imaged by a camera installed on a vehicle. Lamp pattern information, which is information on a traffic signal having plural lamp parts, indicates a relative positional relationship between the plural lamp parts and an appearance of each lamp part when lighted. A system detects a subject traffic signal around the the vehicle based on the camera image information to acquire traffic signal detection information that indicates at least an appearance of each of plural detected parts of the subject traffic signal. The system compares the traffic signal detection information with the lamp pattern information. The system recognizes a lighting state of the plural lamp parts that is consistent with the appearance of each of the plural detected parts of the subject traffic signal as a lighting state of the subject traffic signal.
