[control]
Hereinafter, a processing flow relating to the operation of the automatic driving according to the present embodiment will be described. The vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment is assumed to switch from automatic operation to manual operation or from manual operation to automatic operation in accordance with a user instruction or the like. Here, in order to simplify the description, the operation subject relating to the automatic driving is simply described as the vehicle 1.

In S201, the vehicle 1 starts traveling based on an instruction from the driver. At this time, it is assumed that manual operation by the driver is performed.

In S202, the vehicle 1 determines whether or not an instruction for automatic driving by the driver has been received. The instruction for the automatic driving may be instructed by the driver via the input device 93, for example. If an instruction for automatic driving has not been received (NO in S202), vehicle 1 continues manual driving and proceeds to S207. If an instruction for automatic driving has been received (YES in S202), the process proceeds to S203.

In S203, the vehicle 1 starts automatic operation control. The content of the control related to the automatic operation here is not particularly limited. For example, it is assumed that there are a plurality of levels in automatic driving, and the level may be switched in a timely manner according to the surrounding environment, the state of the driver, and the like. In addition, a configuration may be employed in which switching to manual operation is performed step by step according to the surrounding environment, the state of the driver, and the like.

In S204, the vehicle 1 sequentially collects peripheral information and vehicle information as travel information during the control of automatic driving, and accumulates it in the database 24a. The information collected here is acquired from, for example, various sensors mounted on the vehicle 1. Moreover, the information collected here is not limited to the information utilized for automatic driving | running, For example, you may include the information acquired from the outside via the communication part 24c. Further, the remaining amount of fuel in the vehicle 1 and the travel distance may be collected. As described above, the vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment holds map information accessible to the database 24a and the like, but the actual travel route collected in this process and the existing information on the database 24a. Comparison with map information may be performed, and the difference may be accumulated together with position information. Specifically, if there is a difference between the road shape stored in the existing map information and the road shape detected by real sensors (camera, radar, rider, etc.) in real time, The configuration may be such that the map information is updated using the shape. About the difference here, you may make it update a map information, when a threshold value is provided previously and it determines with the difference exceeding the threshold value having arisen. Moreover, you may include the information regarding the operation | movement performed as automatic driving | operation (the frequency | count of a lane change, the offset operation | movement with respect to another vehicle, the frequency | count of decelerating etc.). Further, the collection interval and timing may be different for each piece of information to be collected. The storage unit for accumulating the collected information may be provided inside the vehicle 1 separately from the database 24a, or may be provided outside the vehicle 1. Alternatively, a configuration using both external and internal storage units may be used. When the storage unit is provided outside, for example, the vehicle 1 transmits information collected periodically or at a predetermined timing to the storage unit via the communication unit 24c.

In S205, the vehicle 1 determines whether or not an automatic driving end instruction has been received. An instruction to end automatic driving may be given by the driver via the input device 93, for example. Alternatively, the configuration may be such that an end instruction is received from the system side according to the surrounding situation. If an instruction to end automatic driving has not been received (NO in S205), the process returns to S203, and vehicle 1 continues automatic driving. If an instruction to end automatic driving is received (YES in S205), the process proceeds to S206.

In S206, the vehicle 1 performs a counting process using the traveling information accumulated in S204. In the aggregation process here, aggregation is performed on the traveled route and the content of traveling by automatic driving (traveling distance, fuel consumption, level switching timing, etc.). The content of the aggregation process is not particularly limited, and may be performed according to the content set as displayed by the user of automatic driving, for example. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S207. If there is already aggregated information, that information is also reflected.

In S207, the vehicle 1 determines whether traveling has ended. The determination of whether or not the driving has ended is, for example, getting on and off by the driver (opening the door, releasing the seat belt, closing the window), closing operation on the vehicle system (when the ignition is off, etc.), driver action (line of sight, And the like). Alternatively, the determination may be performed by combining some of them. If not finished (NO in S207), the process returns to S202, and the vehicle 1 continues to operate. If the operation has ended (YES in S207), the process proceeds to S208.

In S208, the vehicle 1 displays the information tabulated in S206 on the display device 92. Then, this processing flow ends.

In the above flow, the travel information is accumulated only when the automatic operation is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the travel information during manual operation may be accumulated. In this case, for example, a configuration may be used in which traveling information of manual driving and automatic driving is totaled, compared, and presented.

In the above flow, the counting process is performed at the time when the automatic operation is finished. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and may be performed collectively when the operation is finished.

In addition, the calculation method and the identification method here shall apply a well-known method, and are not specifically limited. For example, the number of occurrences of the above hazards corresponds to the number of occurrences when the distance between the host vehicle and the other vehicle falls below a predetermined value, when a pedestrian jumps out, or when skids due to road conditions. To do. The degree of relaxation of the driver may be calculated from the time when the hand is released from the steering wheel (hands-off time), the time during which a second task such as watching an in-vehicle monitor is performed (eyes-off time), and the like.

In addition, in this embodiment, although it was set as the structure which collects various information, when the vehicle 1 is performing automatic driving, the structure which collects information also in the case of manual driving may be sufficient.
