Abstract
An automated driving assistance apparatus assists automated driving control of a passenger car, and includes a driver monitoring unit and a manual driving recovery level setting unit. The driver monitoring unit monitors the state of the driver that is driving the passenger car. The manual driving recovery level setting unit sets, in a stepwise manner, a level indicating whether or not a switch can be made from automated driving to manual driving in a predetermined switching zone, based on the state of the driver detected by the driver monitoring unit.
Claims16
An automated driving assistance apparatus for assisting automated driving control of a vehicle, comprising:
- a driver monitoring unit configured to monitor a state of a driver that is driving the vehicle;
- and
- a manual driving recovery level setting unit configured to set, in a stepwise manner, a level indicating whether or not a switch can be made from automated driving to manual driving in a predetermined switching zone, based on the state of the driver detected by the driver monitoring unit.
An automated driving assistance apparatus for assisting automated driving control of a vehicle, comprising:
- a driver monitoring unit configured to monitor a state of a driver that is driving the vehicle;
- and
- a manual driving recovery time calculation unit configured to estimate a time before the driver can cope with manual driving, based on the state of the driver detected by the driver monitoring unit.
An automated driving assistance method for assisting automated driving control of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- monitoring a state of a driver that is driving the vehicle;
- and
- setting, in a stepwise manner, a level indicating whether or not a switch can be made from automated driving to manual driving in a predetermined switching zone, based on the state of the driver detected in the monitoring.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an automated driving assistance program for assisting automated driving control of a vehicle, the program causing a computer to execute an automated driving assistance method comprising:
- monitoring a state of a driver that is driving the vehicle;
- and
- setting, in a stepwise manner, a level indicating whether or not a switch can be made from automated driving to manual driving in a predetermined switching zone, based on the state of the driver detected in the monitoring.
An automated driving assistance method for assisting automated driving control of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- monitoring a state of a driver that is driving the vehicle;
- and
- estimating a time before the driver can cope with manual driving, based on the state of the driver detected in the monitoring.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an automated driving assistance program for assisting automated driving control of a vehicle, the program causing a computer to execute an automated driving assistance method comprising:
- monitoring a state of a driver that is driving the vehicle;
- and
- estimating a time before the driver can cope with manual driving, based on the state of the driver detected in the monitoring.
