Vehicle control system

A vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle communication device configured to communicate with a server apparatus, the server apparatus being configured to generate individual remote-control values for vehicles respectively based on travel information on the vehicles and transmit the individual remote-control values to the vehicles respectively;
• an own vehicle sensor provided in the vehicle;
• and
• a travel control unit configured to generate a control value for travel control of the vehicle which is an own vehicle using a corresponding one of the individual remote-control values transmitted from the server apparatus to the own vehicle and received by the vehicle communication device, wherein
• the travel control unit is configured to
• determine whether there is a malfunction in the server apparatus, upon not determining that there is the malfunction in the server apparatus, execute heteronomous travel control in which the control value is generated using information obtained by the own vehicle sensor and the corresponding one of the individual remote-control values received from the server apparatus, and
• upon determining that there is the malfunction in the server apparatus, execute autonomous travel control in which the control value is generated using the information obtained by the own vehicle sensor or information obtained through a manual operation without using the corresponding one of the individual remote-control values received from the server apparatus.

A server apparatus comprising:

• a server communication device configured to communicate with vehicles each comprising a travel control unit configured to generate a control value for travel control of a vehicle;
• and
• a server control unit configured to generate individual remote-control values for the vehicles respectively based on travel information on the vehicles received by the server communication device and transmit the individual remote-control values from the server communication device to the vehicles respectively, wherein
• the server control unit is configured to, when receiving a determination result indicating that there is a malfunction in the server apparatus from a malfunction determination vehicle out of the vehicles to which the individual remote control values are to be transmitted respectively, switch information for travel control to be transmitted to the malfunction determination vehicle from a corresponding one of the individual remote-control values usable as it is for the travel control of the malfunction determination vehicle to individual administration information comprising a request for the travel control of the vehicle.
