Getting-off support apparatus, getting-off support method, and computer-readable medium

A getting-off support method comprising:

• a measurement step of measuring an approaching direction and moving velocity of a mobile object that approaches an own vehicle, and a distance between the own vehicle and the mobile object;
• a getting-off operation detection step of detecting getting-off operation of a passenger in the own vehicle;
• a notification signal output step of outputting a notification signal for notifying at least one of the mobile object or the passenger of approach between the own vehicle and the mobile object;
• and
• a control step of, in a case where the getting-off operation is detected, controlling output of the notification signal in accordance with the distance and the moving velocity of the mobile object, wherein
• the notification signal output step includes a vehicle interior notification signal output step of outputting a second notification signal for notifying the passenger of approach of the mobile object,
• the control step estimates, in a case where the getting-off operation is detected, a period until when the mobile object reaches the own vehicle, from the distance and the moving velocity of the mobile object, and
• in a case where for the mobile object for which the estimated period is equal to or greater than a threshold set in advance, the distance is less than a limit distance set in advance, and the moving velocity is equal to or greater than limit velocity set in advance, the second notification signal is output.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a getting-off support method, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• a measurement step of measuring an approaching direction and moving velocity of a mobile object that approaches an own vehicle, and a distance between the own vehicle and the mobile object;
• a getting-off operation detection step of detecting getting-off operation of a passenger in the own vehicle;
• a notification signal output step of outputting a notification signal for notifying at least one of the mobile object or the passenger of approach between the own vehicle and the mobile object;
• and
• a control step of controlling output of the notification signal in accordance with the distance and the moving velocity of the mobile object in a case where the getting-off operation is detected, wherein
• the notification signal output step includes a vehicle interior notification signal output step of outputting a second notification signal for notifying the passenger of approach of the mobile object,
• the control step estimates, in a case where the getting-off operation is detected, a period until when the mobile object reaches the own vehicle, from the distance and the moving velocity of the mobile object, and
• in a case where for the mobile object for which the estimated period is equal to or greater than a threshold set in advance, the distance is less than a limit distance set in advance, and the moving velocity is equal to or greater than limit velocity set in advance, the second notification signal is output.
