Abstract

A control device includes an acquisition unit acquiring a condition of a vehicle upon reception of a control request, an execution ability determination unit determining whether or not the vehicle is in a condition where the control request can be executed safely, an execution control unit executing the control request when the vehicle is determined to be in a condition where the control request can be executed safely, and a changeover control unit implementing control to change over the condition of the vehicle to a condition where the control request can be executed safely. When the vehicle is in a condition where the control request cannot be executed safely, the changeover control unit is activated. After the vehicle becomes in a condition where the control request can be executed safely, the execution control unit executes the control request.

Claims13

Dependent claims

A control device for controlling a vehicle in accordance with a control request transmitted from an exterior of the vehicle,

the control device comprising a processor configured with a program to perform operations comprising operation as:
an acquisition unit configured to acquire a condition of the vehicle upon reception of the control request;
an execution ability determination unit configured to determine whether the acquired condition of the vehicle is in a condition in which the control request can be executed safely;
an execution control unit configured to execute the control request in response to the condition of the vehicle being determined to be a condition in which the control request can be executed safely;
and
a changeover control unit configured to implement control to change over the condition of the vehicle to a condition in which the control request can be executed safely,
wherein, the processor is configured with the program to perform operations comprising operations such that, in response to the the execution ability determination unit determining that the vehicle is in a condition in which the control request cannot be executed safely, the changeover control unit is activated, and in response to the execution ability determination unit determining that the vehicle is in a condition in which the control request can be executed safely, the execution control unit executes the control request.
