Abstract
A method executed by a computer capable of communicating with one or more automated driving vehicles and one or more roadside apparatuses includes storing information indicating an installation position and a detection area of each of the road side apparatuses, monitoring positional information for each of the automated driving vehicles, displaying a map screen, and displaying the automated driving vehicles and the roadside apparatuses on the map screen in a first mode when the automated driving vehicles enter detection areas of the roadside apparatuses.
Claims6
A method executed by a computer capable of communicating with one or more automated driving vehicles and one or more roadside apparatuses, the method comprising:
- storing information indicating an installation position and a detection area of each of the roadside apparatuses;
- receiving, from each of the automated driving vehicles, positional information for each of the automated driving vehicles detected by a position sensor of each of the automated driving vehicles;
- displaying a map screen;
- displaying each of the automated driving vehicles and each of the roadside apparatuses on the map screen in a second mode;
- in response to a first automated driving vehicle among the automated driving vehicles entering a first detection area of a first roadside apparatus among the roadside apparatuses, switching a display mode for the automated driving vehicles and the roadside apparatuses from the second mode to a first mode which is different from the second mode;
- displaying videos captured by each of the roadside apparatuses on the map screen in a fourth mode;
- and
- in response to the first automated driving vehicle entering the first detection area, switching a display mode for the videos from the fourth mode to a third mode which is different from the fourth mode,
- wherein in the second mode, each of the automated driving vehicles and each of the roadside apparatuses are not flickered on the map screen,
- in the first mode, the first automated driving vehicle and the first roadside apparatus are flickered on the map screen, while other automated driving vehicles and other roadside apparatuses are not flickered on the map screen,
- in the fourth mode, an outer frame of the video captured by each of the roadside apparatuses is not flickered on the map screen, and
- in the third mode, an outer frame of a first video captured by the first roadside apparatus is flickered on the map screen, while outer frames of other videos captured by the other roadside apparatuses are not flickered on the map screen.
