The information processing device provides information relating to a movement of a mobile body. The receiving unit receives an information request. The load determination unit determines a load of a driver with respect to a driving of the mobile body. The voice output unit outputs, in response to the information request, a basic information when the load is large, and an additional information in addition to the basic information when the load is small.

The information processing device includes a voice guidance unit configured to acquire a current position of the mobile body and perform voice guidance along a route to a destination. When an information request by a user is made by designating a direction different from the direction indicated by a current route at a guide point, the voice guidance unit outputs information on a comparison between the current route and a route to the destination advancing in a designated direction.

An information transmission device applied to an open moving machine driven by a driver who is exposed to an outside of the moving machine includes: a vibrator configured to vibrate a component of the moving machine, the driver in a driving posture being in contact with the component; and a controller communicably connected to an information providing device and configured to control the vibrator and a voice output device configured to output voice to the driver, the information providing device being configured to provide utterance information to the driver as information to be transmitted to the driver. The controller makes the vibrator operate when making the voice output device output the utterance information to the driver by the voice.

A systems and methods for ridesharing are provided. The systems and method can include splitting a plurality of GPS locations for a given vehicle into segments, determining a most probable location for each GPS location, and reconstructing the route, for a fleet of ridesharing vehicles.

A system for use in grouping micromobility vehicles. The system includes a communication device associated with each of a plurality of micromobility vehicles, the communication device configured to transmit location data associated with a respective micromobility vehicle. A server is communicatively coupled with each communication device. The server is configured to receive the location data from each communication device, wherein the location data includes at least one of a current location, a direction of travel, or a destination of the plurality of micromobility vehicles, determine a navigational route for each micromobility vehicle, wherein the navigational route is configured to group the plurality of micromobility vehicles en route to a respective destination of each micromobility vehicle, and transmit the navigational route to each communication device.

Systems and methods for generating calm or quiet routes are provided. When a user requests navigation directions and indicates a preference for a calm route, a plurality of routes between the origin location and the destination location requested by the user may be identified. Historical sensor data (e.g., including heart rate data, exterior vehicle noise level data, accelerometer data) and traffic data associated with route segments of each of the routes may be analyzed to identify indications of calmness associated with each route segment. Current traffic data associated with the route segments may be analyzed to assign a traffic score representing a level of congestion along the segment and corresponding to a level of insurance risk associated with traversing the segment. Based at least in part upon the indications of calmness and the traffic score associated with each route segment, a route may be selected and presented to the user.

The objective of the present invention is to provide an information providing device and the like capable of simplifying entry into a road to be entered, even using guidance by voice or the like.

This information providing device is provided with: a route searching unit 1 which acquires both road data 23a and intersection data 23b; and a guidance voice generating unit 2 which, on the basis of the acquired road data 23a and the like, outputs, while moving along a wider road, a simplified guidance voice for moving to a narrower road, in such a way that it is simple to enter the narrower road from the wider road.

A system for monitoring vehicle behavior based on vehicle control data includes a network access device configured to receive braking data from multiple vehicles, the braking data corresponding to vehicle braking events having a brake pressure that is equal to or greater than a threshold brake pressure and including a corresponding location. The system further includes a processor coupled to the memory and configured to determine an event of interest on a roadway by analyzing the braking data and the corresponding location, and to transmit a notification of the event of interest to at least one vehicle.

A vehicle traveling control apparatus that performs an automatic driving control based on traveling environment information and traveling information includes a steering holding state detector, a target parameter setting unit, a target parameter correcting unit, and an acceleration and deceleration controller. The steering holding state detector detects a steering wheel holding state of a driver. The target parameter setting unit recognizes a curve ahead of the own vehicle based on the traveling environment information. The target parameter setting unit sets a target parameter that is based on one or both of a target vehicle speed and an allowable lateral acceleration rate of the own vehicle in passing through the curve. The target parameter correcting unit corrects the target parameter depending on the steering wheel holding state. The acceleration and deceleration controller sets a target acceleration rate of the own vehicle based on the target parameter, and controls acceleration and deceleration.
