Abstract
A vehicle including a magnetic detecting part for detecting a magnetic marker disposed in a road is configured to acquire marker state information indicating the state of the magnetic marker from an external server apparatus via wireless communication and diagnose the state of the magnetic detecting part by using a result of detection of the magnetic marker in which the state of the magnetic marker indicated by the marker state information is good, thereby allowing inspection cost and cost of maintenance of the magnetic detecting part for detecting the magnetic marker to be suppressed.
Claims15
A vehicle including a magnetic detecting part for detecting a magnetic marker disposed in a traveling road of the vehicle, the vehicle comprising
- a diagnosing part which diagnoses a state of the magnetic detecting part by using marker state information indicating a state of the magnetic marker.
A vehicular diagnostic system including a plurality of vehicles each including a magnetic detecting part for detecting a plurality of magnetic markers disposed in a traveling road of the plurality of vehicles, the system comprising:
- a server apparatus which acquires detection information of the plurality of magnetic markers by each of the plurality of vehicles and, based on the detection information, generates marker state information indicating a state of each of the plurality of magnetic markers, and
- the plurality of vehicles each including an acquiring part which acquires the marker state information from the server apparatus and a diagnosing part which diagnoses a state of the magnetic detecting part by using the marker state information.
