    摘要: This driving mode switching assist system, which can safely and reliably carry out switching from an automatic driving mode to a manual driving mode with comparatively simply system configuration, sets up multiple driving mode switching spaces SS for switching from automatic driving to manual driving along a highway HW or other road where automatic driving travel is possible; configures, on the basis of the position of a selected driving mode switching space SS, an automatic driving segment AD traveled in automatic driving mode with a driving segment configuration means; and after guiding the vehicle in the automatic driving mode from the automatic driving segment AD to the driving mode switching space SS and stopping the vehicle, compulsorily maintains the travel stop state of the vehicle with a travel stop state maintaining means for a prescribed stopping time. The driver rests in the driving mode switching space SS and then, after the stopping time has elapsed, can travel towards the destination with automatic driving.

    摘要: Systems and methods for identifying a precise stopping location using vehicle sensors and mechanical simulation. In particular, systems and methods are provided for using vehicle sensor information to understand vehicle surroundings, identifying an appropriate stopping position that either does not disrupt traffic (or minimally disrupts traffic), and identifying a path to the stopping position. Additionally, the suitability of the stopping position is determined by performing a simulation of the vehicle movement to the stopping position as well as a simulation of passenger behavior during vehicle exit. In some examples, the simulation is performed using a short-range relative map of the vehicle surroundings rather than using the driving map. Additionally, the simulation can be performed using heuristic or data-driven models

    摘要: A vehicle control apparatus including: a storage portion configured to store therein a vehicle control software for controlling a vehicle; an updating portion configured to update the vehicle control software stored in the storage portion, to an update software, and an operation check portion configured, when the update software is stored in the storage portion, to make an operation check as to whether the vehicle operates normally or not, by executing processing of the update software on condition that the vehicle is in a vehicle stopped state in which the vehicle is suppressed from being moved in forward and reverse directions. When it is checked by the operation check portion that the vehicle operates normally with the processing of the update software, the updating portion is configured to update the vehicle control software to the update software.

    摘要: When a vehicle control interface receives information indicating “Standstill” from a VP, the vehicle control interface sets a value 2 in a signal indicating an actual moving direction. When the number of wheels rotating in a forward rotation direction is larger than two, the vehicle control interface sets a value 0 in the signal indicating the actual moving direction. When the number of wheels rotating in a reverse rotation direction is larger than two, the vehicle control interface sets a value 1 in the signal indicating the actual moving direction. When the number of wheels rotating in the forward rotation direction is equal to the number of wheels rotating in the reverse rotation direction, the vehicle control interface sets a value 3 in the signal indicating the actual moving direction. The vehicle control interface provides the signal indicating the actual moving direction to an ADK.
