Vehicle-mounted equipment control device and vehicle-mounted equipment control method

Abstract

A vehicle-mounted equipment control device includes an anti-dozing-section setting part that sets an anti-dozing section on a planned travel route of a subject vehicle, a vehicle-position acquisition part that acquires the position of the subject vehicle, a drowsiness detector that detects drowsiness of an occupant different from a driver in the subject vehicle, and a vehicle-mounted equipment controller that controls vehicle-mounted equipment. If drowsiness of the occupant has been detected when the position of the subject vehicle is within the anti-dozing section, the vehicle-mounted equipment controller controls the vehicle-mounted equipment to shake off the drowsiness. If drowsiness of the occupant has been detected when the position of the subject vehicle is outside the anti-dozing section, the vehicle-mounted equipment controller controls the vehicle-mounted equipment to promote the drowsiness.
