Abstract
A control device that is communicably connected to a vehicle includes a control unit. The control unit executes acquisition of sensor information from a sensor provided in the vehicle, determination of whether the vehicle is parked based on the sensor information, determination of whether a user is staying in the vehicle based on the sensor information, and estimation that the user is staying in the vehicle when a parking time of the vehicle exceeds a first reference value and a staying time of the user exceeds a second reference value.
Claims20
A control device that is communicably connected to a vehicle, the control device comprising a processor, wherein the processor executes:
- acquisition of sensor information from a sensor including at least one of a seating sensor, a door open-close sensor, a vehicle height sensor, a seatbelt fastening detection sensor, an image sensor, and a motion sensor provided in the vehicle;
- determination of whether the vehicle is parked based on the sensor information;
- determination of whether a user is staying in the vehicle based on the sensor information;
- estimation that the user is staying in the vehicle when a parking time of the vehicle exceeds a first reference value and a staying time of the user exceeds a second reference value, the parking time of the vehicle being different than the staying time of the user;
- determination of a number of users staying in the vehicle based on the sensor information;
- determination of whether the determined number of users exceeds a third reference value corresponding to a vehicle class;
- and
- dispatch, based on the determination of whether the determined number of users exceeds the third reference value, of an accommodation vehicle or arrangement of an evacuation center for an excess number of users.
A non-transitory program that causes a computer, as a control device that is communicably connected to a vehicle, to execute:
- acquisition of sensor information from a sensor including at least one of a seating sensor, a door open-close sensor, a vehicle height sensor, a seatbelt fastening detection sensor, an image sensor, and a motion sensor provided in the vehicle;
- determination of whether the vehicle is parked based on the sensor information;
- determination of whether a user is staying in the vehicle based on the sensor information;
- estimation that the user is staying in the vehicle when a parking time of the vehicle exceeds a first reference value and a staying time of the user exceeds a second reference value, the parking time of the vehicle being different than the staying time of the user;
- determination of a number of users staying in the vehicle based on the sensor information;
- determination of whether the determined number of users exceeds a third reference value corresponding to a vehicle class;
- and
- dispatch, based on the determination of whether the determined number of users exceeds the third reference value, of an accommodation vehicle or arrangement of an evacuation center for an excess number of users.
A control method executed by a control device that is communicably connected to a vehicle, the control method comprising:
- acquiring sensor information from a sensor including at least one of a seating sensor, a door open-close sensor, a vehicle height sensor, a seatbelt fastening detection sensor, an image sensor, and a motion sensor provided in the vehicle;
- determining whether the vehicle is parked based on the sensor information;
- determining whether a user is staying in the vehicle based on the sensor information;
- estimating that the user is staying in the vehicle when a parking time of the vehicle exceeds a first reference value and a staying time of the user exceeds a second reference value, the parking time of the vehicle being different than the staying time of the user;
- determining a number of users staying in the vehicle based on the sensor information;
- determining whether the determined number of users exceeds a third reference value corresponding to a vehicle class;
- and
- dispatching, based on the determination of whether the determined number of users exceeds the third reference value, an accommodation vehicle or arranging an evacuation center for an excess number of users.
