Abstract
The control device used for moving the moving object movable by the unmanned driving includes an acquisition unit that acquires a result of inspection of the mounted device, a determination unit that determines whether movement by the remote manual driving mode is possible using the result of inspection, and a setting unit that sets the driving mode of the moving object to the remote manual driving mode when it is determined that movement by the remote manual driving mode is possible.
Claims7
A control device controlling movement of a moving object that is movable by unmanned driving,
- the moving object having a remote manual driving mode and an automated driving mode, the moving object in the remote manual driving mode receiving a manual control signal and moving using the received manual control signal, the manual control signal being a signal generated according to an operation of a maneuvering device by an external operator to control movement of the moving object, the maneuvering device being located at a different location from the moving object, the moving object in the automated driving mode moving using an automated control signal generated other than according to the operation of the maneuvering device by the external operator to control the movement of the moving object,
- the moving object including a plurality of mounted devices mounted on the moving object,
- the control device comprising a processor configured to
- acquire results of inspection of the mounted devices, and
- determine whether the moving object is movable in the automated driving mode based on the results of inspection, wherein
- the processor is further configured to
- determine whether the moving object is movable in the remote manual driving mode based on the results of inspection, in response to determining that the moving object is not movable in the automated driving mode, and
- set a driving mode of the moving object to the remote manual driving mode in response to determining that the moving object is movable in the remote manual driving mode, and
- the moving object is determined to be movable in the remote manual driving mode in a case where a function of a first mounted device of the mounted devices that contributes to the determination that the moving object is not movable in the automated driving mode is able to be compensated for by a function of a second mounted device of the mounted devices that is different from the first mounted device.

A control system controlling movement of a moving object that is movable by unmanned driving, the control system comprising:
- the moving object on which a plurality of mounted devices is mounted, the moving object having a remote manual driving mode and an automated driving mode;
- and
- a processor configured to
- acquire results of inspection of the mounted devices, and
- determine whether the moving object is movable in the automated driving mode based on the results of inspection, wherein
- the processor is further configured to
- determine whether the moving object is movable in the remote manual driving mode in response to determining that the moving object is not movable in the automated driving mode, and
- set a driving mode of the moving object to the remote manual driving mode in response to determining that the moving object is movable in the remote manual driving mode,
- the moving object is determined to be movable in the remote manual driving mode in a case where a function of a first mounted device of the mounted devices that contributes to the determination that the moving object is not movable in the automated driving mode is able to be compensated for by a function of a second mounted device of the mounted devices that is different from the first mounted device,
- the moving object in the remote manual driving mode receives a manual control signal and moves using the received manual control signal, the manual control signal being a signal generated according to an operation of a maneuvering device by an external operator to control movement of the moving object, and the maneuvering device being located at a different location from the moving object, and
- the moving object in the automated driving mode moves using an automated control signal generated other than according to the operation of the maneuvering device by the external operator to control the movement of the moving object.
