A control device that controls a straddle type vehicle, comprising: a route information acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a planned travel route of the straddle type vehicle; a weather information acquisition unit configured to acquire weather information corresponding to the planned travel route; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the planned travel route of the straddle type vehicle is affected by the weather based on the weather information; and a control unit configured to propose information on a refuge location for taking refuge from an influence of the weather when it is determined that the planned travel route is affected by the weather, wherein the control unit proposes a refuge location farther away from an affected area as information on the refuge location, based on the affected area affected by the weather.

METHOD FOR ASSIGNING THE LANE IN WHICH A VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY DRIVEN

Technologies and techniques for assigning the lane in which a vehicle is currently driven, wherein input variables of at least one data source are detected to determine the lane currently being driven in, and wherein at least one data source includes signals from an environmental sensor system of the vehicle. In cases in which the possibility of unequivocal assignment of the lane in which a vehicle is currently driven is improved, it is provided that at least one data source includes a C2X communication.

Calculation apparatus and arithmetic method

A calculation apparatus includes a control unit configured to calculate a necessary distance that is necessary for a vehicle to perform lane change from a first travel lane to a second travel lane by combining a first distance that the vehicle travels while the vehicle waits to start the lane change, a second distance that the vehicle travels while a speed of the vehicle is adjusted, and a third distance that the vehicle travels while executing the lane change.

Multi-computer system for dynamically detecting and identifying hazards

Systems, methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing hazard detection and broadcast functions are provided. In some examples, sensor data may be captured by a mobile device, vehicle, or the like. The data may be used to detect a hazard, identify a type of hazard, and the like. One or more users or groups of users for notification of the hazard may be identified and one or more notifications may be transmitted to users within the group.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF A ROADWAY

A vehicle navigation system includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit receives image data regarding a source of a traffic jam on a roadway from a plurality of sensors of a plurality of vehicles in a mesh network. Moreover, the electronic control unit generates a bird's eye view of the traffic jam based on the image data, wherein the bird's eye view includes a graphical representation of the source of the traffic jam and a graphical representation of vehicles on the roadway within the traffic jam. A display device displays the bird's eye view.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A PERSONAL MOBILITY VEHICLE BASED ON CONGESTION

A method and an apparatus for controlling personal mobility device (PMD) depending on congestion includes identifying a target area according to an expected route of the PMD, acquiring a degree of congestion of the target area based on at least one of a type of objects, a movement of the objects, a distance between objects, the number of objects that is expected, and a speed limit of the target area, and controlling speed of the PMD according to the degree of congestion.

ROAD SURFACE INFORMATION PROVIDING APPARATUS AND VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS
20220397414 · 2022-12-15 ·

A road surface information providing apparatus includes an information acquisition unit, a road surface condition estimation unit, a risk map generation unit, and a transmission unit. The information acquisition unit acquires vehicle information from at least one vehicle with a wheel detected as being idling among vehicles that are traveling in a predetermined region, and acquire weather information about a surrounding area around the at least one vehicle. The predetermined region includes the surrounding area around the at least one vehicle. The road surface condition estimation unit generates road surface information about an estimated condition of a road surface in the predetermined region on the basis of the vehicle information and the weather information. The risk map generation unit generates a risk map in which the road surface information is correlated with map information. The transmission unit transmits the risk map to the vehicles traveling in the predetermined region.

Using major route decision points to select traffic cameras for display

Techniques enable selection of traffic cameras for display to a user, where the techniques involve determining a primary route and an alternate route, determining a first intersection between the primary route and the alternate route, and obtaining camera metadata identifying multiple cameras, where the camera metadata defines aspects such as positioning data, direction, status data, and image data for individual traffic cameras. The techniques also involve determining a priority score for individual cameras using the camera metadata, where the priority score is based, at least in part, on proximity to the first intersection between the primary route and the alternate route. The techniques then involve selecting at least one traffic camera based on the priority score of the camera and communicating image data of the camera for display on a display device.
