Moving object, remote driving system, and method of disabling remote control
A moving object movable by remote control comprises: a moving object communication unit for receiving a request for driving control from outside the moving object; a driving controller capable of implementing driving control over the moving object in response to the request for driving control during a course of manufacture in a factory for manufacture of the moving object; a signal detection unit for detecting an disablement signal at a predetermined place along a moving route of the moving object; and an disablement implementation unit that performs an disablement process for disabling the remote control if a first condition is fulfilled. The first condition includes an event that the disablement signal is detected or an event that the disablement signal having been detected becomes no longer detected.
Server device
A server device includes an area setting unit that sets a first area in which a first lawnmower executes first lawn-mowing work in a work area and a second area in which a second lawnmower executes second lawn-mowing work in the work area, a time calculation unit that obtains a first time necessary for the first lawnmower to execute the first lawn-mowing work in the first area and a second time necessary for the second lawnmower to execute the second lawn-mowing work in the second area, a machine number calculation unit that obtains the number of first lawnmowers and the number of second lawnmowers based on the first time and the second time, and a notification unit that notifies the number of first lawnmowers and the number of second lawnmowers to a smartphone. Consequently, a user can check the number of first lawnmowers and the number of second lawnmowers.
Portable terminal and vehicle control system
The portable terminal is operated by an operator to operate the vehicle, and performs wireless communication with the vehicle. The portable terminal includes a sensor, a touch panel, and a processor. The sensor detects an inclination direction and an inclination angle of the portable terminal. The touch panel includes a display screen and detects touch of an operator on the display screen. The processor selects one of the first and second operation methods corresponding to the first and second holding methods of the portable terminal by the operator based on orientation information, generates travel control information for vehicle travel control based on the tilting operation of tilting the portable terminal during selection of the first operation method, and generates travel control information based on the tilting operation and the touch operation to a predetermined position on the display screen during selection of the second operation method.
Remote assistance device and method for remotely assisting driving of autonomous driving vehicles
A remote assistance device for remotely assisting autonomous driving of an autonomous driving vehicle, includes a control unit configured to, when there is no available operator or when it is predicted that there will be no available operator that provides remote assistance to the autonomous driving vehicle, control driving of the autonomous driving vehicle so as to prevent occurrence of a shortage of operators at an assistance point where the autonomous driving vehicle receives remote assistance.
Vehicle final assembly line and vehicle final assembly method
A vehicle includes an electric chassis provided with a navigation device and a vehicle body to be connected to the electric chassis. The navigation device is configured to control the electric chassis to travel according to a predetermined path. A vehicle final assembly line includes: a vehicle body positioning device, configured to position the vehicle body on the electric chassis to connect the vehicle body to the electric chassis at a marriage station when the navigation device controls the electric chassis to travel to the marriage station according to the predetermined path, and control the vehicle body and the electric chassis that are connected to each other to travel to a plurality of assembly stations in sequence according to the predetermined path so as to complete assembly of the vehicle at the plurality of assembly stations, and the assembled vehicle leaves the line at an end-of-line station.
Remote support apparatus
A remote support apparatus remotely supports a travelling of a vehicle. The remote support apparatus communicates wirelessly with the vehicle. The remote support apparatus wirelessly acquires an image of a view in a travelling direction of the vehicle and display the acquired image by a displaying device of the remote support apparatus. The image is taken by an imaging device of the vehicle. The remote support apparatus displays an inner rear wheel line in the image displayed by the displaying device while the vehicle is turning. The inner rear wheel line is a line along which an inner rear wheel of the vehicle during vehicle turning is predicted to move.
