An information providing device is equipped with one or more displays that display notification information, a camera that acquires information of a vehicle occupant, a vehicle occupant detection unit that detects a field of view of the vehicle occupant, a display determination unit that determines whether or not there is a display that lies within the field of view, a display decision unit that makes a decision, on the basis of the determination of the display determination unit, regarding a notification display to allow the notification information to be displayed, and a notification control unit that controls the one or more displays.

A parking assist system includes an acquiring unit, a display unit, and a control unit. In a case where the acquiring unit acquires information about an obstacle on a first target route during traveling of a vehicle along the first target route and thus the vehicle stops traveling along the first target route, the control unit tries to calculate a second target route to a target position from a position where the vehicle stops traveling along the first target route. Upon succeeding in calculating the second target route, the control unit causes the display unit to display surrounding information corresponding to the second target route. Upon failing to calculate the second target route, the control unit causes the display unit to display a notification about an operation method of the vehicle.

A status indication system for conveying status information concerning a movable vehicle includes: an interface system configured to receive perception information concerning one or more objects proximate the movable vehicle; a processing system configured to process the perception information to generate proximate object display information; and a visual display system configured to render the proximate object display information.

A camera system is installed on the front end of a vehicle, either on the left front, the right front, or both sides. The camera is linked via wired or wireless connection to an onboard computer and a navigation display that is located within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The driver reviews a visual description on the display of any oncoming traffic in the form of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, animals and the like on the navigation display via a single screen, split screen or alternating screens. The camera system can include a speed sensor that detects when the vehicle reaches a threshold speed to activate or de-activate the camera. Alternatively, the computer can activate the system when a turn signal is activated, and de-activate the system when the turn signal is no longer activated. This camera system can be retrofitted into older vehicles.

A control unit for displaying a traffic situation on a screen of an ego vehicle is designed to display a first traffic participant symbol for a first traffic participant in a first sub-region of the screen and a second traffic participant symbol for a second traffic participant in a second sub-region of the screen. The control unit is additionally designed to determine that the first traffic participant symbol and the second traffic participant symbol are approaching each other in a specified manner on the basis of a change in the position of the second traffic participant relative to the first traffic participant. In response thereto, the control unit is further designed to at least partly hide the first and/or the second traffic participant symbol.

An information processing device includes a controller configured to control display of a crosswalk on a road on which a vehicle travels. The controller outputs information to be displayed on a display device such that a driver of the vehicle visually recognizes advance notification information that makes advance notification of the display of the crosswalk.

An information display device includes a display unit configured to display information about an object such that the information about the object at least partially overlaps with forward view of a user, and a controller configured to control display of the display unit. The controller is configured to estimate or acquire a prospective moving direction of the object, acquire a sight-line frequency representing a frequency with which a sight-line of the user is directed to the object within a prescribed period, determine whether the sight-line frequency is equal to or more than a prescribed frequency threshold, and cause the display unit to display the prospective moving direction of the object at least on condition that the controller determines that the sight-line frequency is less than the frequency threshold.

A surround view monitoring system and a method for providing the same, including a plurality of registration cameras, each mounted on a vehicle and photographing different areas around the vehicle; a depth camera that acquires distance information with respect to an obstacle existing around the vehicle; an image synthesis unit that generates a synthesis image by synthesizing images photographed by the plurality of registration cameras, and displays the distance information with respect to the obstacle acquired by the depth camera on an obstacle existing in the synthesis image; and an image control unit that displays the synthesized synthesis image on a display device are disclosed.

An apparatus for indicating an expected speed of a vehicle includes an information provider configured to provide vehicle driving information and deceleration event information required to determine the expected speed of the vehicle at a deceleration event point while the vehicle travels, a controller configured to detect a deceleration event on a travel path based on the vehicle driving information and the deceleration event information provided by the information provider and to determine the expected speed of the vehicle at the detected deceleration event point, and a display unit configured to receive a signal indicating the expected speed of the vehicle at the deceleration event point and the deceleration event information from the controller and to display the received expected speed of the vehicle in a predetermined form of an augmented reality (AR) image and a position of the deceleration event on an information display screen.

An advanced driver assistance system for a heavy-duty vehicle. The ADAS includes a road geometry determining device arranged to determine a geometry of a road section in a forward direction ahead of the vehicle, and a vehicle motion management module configured to predict a swept area by the vehicle when driving in the forward direction, based on a geometric model of the vehicle and on a current vehicle control command, wherein the swept area by the vehicle comprises an area traversed by an overhang of the vehicle. The ADAS further includes a display device configured to illustrate the geometry of the road section and the predicted swept area by the vehicle in dependence of the current vehicle control command.
