Abstract
A headlight control data generation device that generates headlight control data of a vehicle including a headlight includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit sequentially acquires, when a manual mode is selected, set data including a detection value of an illuminance around the vehicle, and ON and OFF data indicating that the headlight is in an ON state or in an OFF state at the time of sampling of the detection value, and generates the headlight control data based on the acquired set data. The headlight control data includes data regarding information on a probability of the headlight being in an ON state.
Claims11
A headlight control data generation device that generates headlight control data of a vehicle including a headlight, in which the headlight control data is data that is used in an automatic mode in the vehicle to select a manual mode in which a user manually performs a switching operation from one of an ON state and an OFF state of the headlight to the other, or the automatic mode for executing an automatic mode process which is at least one of a process of automatically performing the switching operation and a process of outputting a guidance notification signal for requesting the switching operation to a notification device, the headlight control data generation device comprising:
- an electronic control unit configured to
- sequentially acquire, when the manual mode is selected, set data including a detection value of an illuminance around the vehicle and ON and OFF data indicating that the headlight is in the ON state or in the OFF state at a time of sampling the detection value;
- and
- generate the headlight control data based on the acquired set data, wherein:
- the headlight control data includes data regarding information on a probability of the headlight being in the ON state;
- and
- the information on the probability of the headlight being in the ON state is information in which the probability of the headlight being in the ON state increases when the illuminance is within a predetermined range when a proportion of the set data indicating that the headlight is in the ON state among the set data indicating that the detection value of the illuminance is within the predetermined range is relatively high, as compared with when the proportion of the set data is relatively low.
A headlight control data generation device that generates headlight control data of a vehicle including a headlight, in which the headlight control data is data that is used in an automatic mode in the vehicle to select a manual mode in which a user manually performs a switching operation from one of an ON state and an OFF state of the headlight to the other, or the automatic mode for executing an automatic mode process which is at least one of a process of automatically performing the switching operation and a process of outputting a guidance notification signal for requesting the switching operation to a notification device, the headlight control data generation device comprising:
- an electronic control unit configured to
- sequentially acquire, when the manual mode is selected, set data including a detection value of an illuminance around the vehicle and ON and OFF data indicating that the headlight is in the ON state or in the OFF state at a time of sampling the detection value;
- and
- generate the headlight control data based on the acquired set data, wherein:
- the headlight control data includes a threshold value for the switching operation in the automatic mode;
- and
- the electronic control unit is configured to set the threshold value in an area of the illuminance in which both of the set data with which the headlight is in the ON state and the set data with which the headlight is in the OFF state coexist.
