A vehicle display control device, which displays a predetermined image at a display region showing a foreground of a vehicle, includes a memory, and a processor connected to the memory. In a case in which a change operation that changes an advancing direction of the vehicle is planned, the processor displays at least one directional image, which indicates an advancing direction after the change, in the display region, and changes a number of the directional images during a time period until the vehicle reaches a change operation point at which the change operation is to be carried out.

A system and method for assisting drivers of vehicles are described. The systems and methods provide an extended view of the area surrounding the driver's vehicle while providing real-time object trajectory for objects and other vehicles that may enter the driver's reactionary zone. The system and methods capture images of the area surrounding the driver's vehicle and create a composite image of that area in real-time and using Augmented Reality (AR) create a 3-D overlay to warn the driver as objects or other vehicles enter the driver's reactionary zone so that a driver can make more informed driving decisions.

Methods and systems for notifying a driver of a first vehicle of obstacles discouraging passing of a second vehicle in front of the first vehicle. The system includes a sensor of the second vehicle configured to detect spatial data in proximity of the second vehicle. The system also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) of the first vehicle. The ECU is configured to receive the spatial data from a transceiver of the second vehicle. The ECU is also configured to determine obstacle data based on the spatial data, the obstacle data identifying a presence of obstacles ahead of the second vehicle discouraging passing of the second vehicle by the first vehicle. The ECU is also configured to provide a notification to the driver of the first vehicle when the obstacle data indicates the presence of obstacles ahead of the second vehicle.

A setting device including a processor is provided. The processor is configured to, when occurrence of a secondary disaster is predicted after occurrence of a disaster, set a region in which the secondary disaster is predicted to a charging-prohibited zone in which use of a charging facility for charging a battery installed in a vehicle is prohibited.

The present disclosure relates to a monitoring system for a vehicle, a vehicle comprising such a monitoring system, a method for monitoring such a vehicle and a computer program element for monitoring such a vehicle.

The monitoring system comprises a display unit, an adjustment tool and a control unit. The control unit is configured to generate an energy flow map showing an energy flow from an energy storage system to at least one sub-system of the vehicle. The display unit is configured to display the energy flow map, to graphically emphasize the at least one sub-system and to display a current energy consumption of the sub-system. The control unit is further configured to adjust the energy consumption of the sub-system based on a user's input to the adjustment tool.

A vehicle display device configured to display a predetermined image on a display region depicting a scene ahead of a vehicle. The vehicle display device includes memory and a processor connected to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire position information for the vehicle and position information for a destination point, and to display a first image indicating an orientation of the destination point at the display region in a case in which a relationship between the position of the vehicle and the position of the destination point satisfies a predetermined condition relating to visibility.

A vehicle display device configured to display a predetermined image on a display region depicting a scene ahead of a vehicle, the vehicle display device including memory and a processor connected to the memory. The processor is configured to identify a traffic lane ahead of the vehicle, identify a position of the vehicle with respect to the traffic lane, set a planned position planned to be a lane change destination based on the identified position of the vehicle, and when the vehicle is to change lanes, display a direction image indicating a direction of progress of the vehicle on the display region, and alter a direction indicated by the direction image based on a relative positional relationship of the vehicle with respect to the planned position.

A vehicle display control device comprising memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor being configured to perform control to detect a position of a preceding vehicle running in front of the vehicle, based on the position of the preceding vehicle, perceive whether or not an entirety of the preceding vehicle has departed from the display region, and display an acquisition image that is superimposed on or adjacent to the preceding vehicle in the display region in accordance with the position of the preceding vehicle and, when the entirety of the preceding vehicle departing from the display region is perceived, display the acquisition image as a flashing display at an end portion at a side of the display region at which the entirety of the preceding vehicle has departed.

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.
