Abstract
A controller for transmitting control information necessary for autonomous driving to an autonomous driving vehicle is provided. The controller includes: a reception device configured to receive a signal transmitted from a wireless communication device included in the autonomous driving vehicle; a first transmission device configured to transmit first control information to the wireless communication device included in the autonomous driving vehicle; and a second transmission device configured to transmit information to a satellite based on a reception condition of the signal from the autonomous driving vehicle received by the reception device, the information being used by the satellite to transmit second control information to a satellite communication device included in the autonomous driving vehicle.
Claims6
A controller for transmitting control information necessary for autonomous driving to an autonomous driving vehicle, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a signal transmitted from a wireless communication device of the autonomous driving vehicle;
- a first transmitter configured to transmit, when the signal is not interrupted, first control information to the wireless communication device of the autonomous driving vehicle, the first control information including a speed limit;
- and
- a second transmitter configured to transmit, when the signal is interrupted, information to a satellite that is used by the satellite to transmit second control information configured to control a component of the autonomous driving vehicle to limit speed of the autonomous driving vehicle, from the satellite directly to a satellite receiver of the autonomous driving vehicle, the second control information not including the speed limit and being smaller in data volume than the first control information.
