FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the usage state of the vehicle communication system, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the position identification processing of the moving body. Hereinafter, the process executed by the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 in the situation where the vehicle C equipped with the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 according to the first embodiment moves in the parking lot A as shown in FIG. 5 will be described. In the parking lot A, there are a plurality of moving objects such as vehicles C and pedestrians P. At least a plurality of vehicles C are equipped with the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 according to the first embodiment. Some pedestrians P have a mobile terminal device 8.

The control unit 10 of the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 acquires the first position information (GNSS position information) from the navigation ECU 30 (step S11). The first position information is information indicating the position of the vehicle C on which the in-vehicle relay device 1 which is its own device is mounted.

The control unit 10 acquires the second position information (sensor position information) from the recognition ECU 40 (step S12). The second position information is information indicating the position of a moving body existing around the vehicle C detected by using the sensors.

The control unit 10 acquires communication information (CAN communication information) from the drive ECU 50 (step S13). The communication information is information flowing through the communication line 5a, for example, the CAN communication line.

The control unit 10 acquires the first position information, the second position information, and the communication information from the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of another vehicle C by vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V communication) (step S14). The three or more in-vehicle relay devices 1 in the parking lot A may be configured to relay information by vehicle-to-vehicle communication and share the first position information, the second position information, and the communication information. ..
For example, it is assumed that the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 performs vehicle-to-vehicle communication with the first vehicle-mounted relay device 1 which is the first other vehicle C in the process of step S14. The first vehicle-mounted relay device 1 performs vehicle-to-vehicle communication with the second vehicle-mounted relay device 1 mounted on the second other vehicle C, thereby providing the first position information and the second position information from the second vehicle-mounted relay device 1. You may have acquired location information and communication information. In this case, by the process of step S14, the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 performs inter-vehicle communication with the first vehicle-mounted relay device 1 so that not only the first other vehicle C but also the second other vehicle C can be seconded. 1 position information, 2nd position information and communication information can be acquired.

Next, the control unit 10 acquires the terminal position information by wireless communication (V2P communication) with the mobile terminal device 8 possessed by the pedestrian P (step S15). The terminal position information is information indicating the position of the pedestrian P detected by the mobile terminal device 8.

The control unit 10 transmits real-time position information including the information acquired in the processes of steps S11 to S15 to the information providing device 9 by the first vehicle-mounted communication device 21 (step S16).

The information providing device 9 receives the real-time position information transmitted from the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 by the receiving unit 92a (step S17). Further, the information providing device 9 receives the terminal position information directly transmitted from the mobile terminal device 8 by the receiving unit 92a (step S18). The information providing device 9 stores the received real-time position information and the terminal position information transmitted from the mobile terminal device 8 in the server storage unit 91 (step S19).

The server control unit 90 of the information providing device 9 transmits the real-time position information collected from the plurality of vehicles C and the mobile terminal device 8 and the map information of the parking lot A to the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 by the transmission unit 92b (the transmission unit 92b). Step S20).
Hereinafter, it is assumed that the real-time position information transmitted from the information providing device 9 includes not only the real-time position information collected from the in-vehicle relay device 1 but also the terminal position information directly transmitted from the mobile terminal device 8. Needless to say, in a situation where the terminal position information cannot be obtained from the mobile terminal device 8, the real-time position information collected from the in-vehicle relay device 1 is distributed.

It is assumed that the real-time position information transmitted by the information providing device 9 includes the first position information, the second position information, the communication information, and the terminal position information detected within the latest predetermined time. Even if the information providing device 9 also transmits the first position information, the second position information, the communication information, and the terminal position information detected at a time in the past before the predetermined time to the in-vehicle relay device 1. good.

The transmission timing of map information and real-time position information is not particularly limited, and the server control device may transmit the information at any timing. The server control device may transmit map information and real-time position information in response to a request from the in-vehicle relay device 1, or may spontaneously transmit the map information. The server control device may simultaneously transmit map information and real-time position information, or may transmit each separately.

The control unit 10 of the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 receives the real-time position information and the map information transmitted from the information providing device 9 at the first vehicle-mounted communication device 21 (step S21).

Based on the received real-time position information and the first position information, the second position information, the terminal position information, etc. acquired by the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 which is the own device, the control unit 10 causes the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 which is the own device. The position (coordinate value) of the moving body existing around the mounted vehicle C is logically calculated (step S22).

The meaning of the logical sum calculation is as follows.
The peripheral recognition device 4 of the vehicle C on which the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 which is the own device is mounted may not detect the moving body, and the peripheral recognition device 4 of another vehicle C may be able to detect the moving body. Similarly, the coordinate value of another vehicle C that could not be detected by the peripheral recognition device 4 of the vehicle C on which the in-vehicle relay device 1 which is its own device is mounted is obtained by the position detection device 3 of the vehicle C. It may be obtained from one position information. As described above, the plurality of first position information and the second position information complementarily have the coordinate values of the moving body existing in the parking lot A. Therefore, the control unit 10 of the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 has a plurality of coordinate values of the moving body indicated by the received real-time position information, and the first position information, the second position information, and the terminal acquired by the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 which is its own device. By logically integrating the coordinate values indicated by the position information and the like, the coordinate values of the moving body in the parking lot A can be recognized without omission.

Further, in general, when one moving body is detected by a position detecting device 3, a peripheral recognition device 4 of a plurality of vehicles C, or the like, a plurality of coordinate values indicating the positions of the one moving body can be obtained. The control unit 10 recognizes, for example, a plurality of coordinate values within a predetermined distance from each other as information indicating the position of the same moving body. The control unit 10 does not discard some of the coordinate values, but instead, the coordinate values of the vehicle C (own vehicle C) indicated by the first position information acquired by the in-vehicle relay device 1 which is its own device and the second position information are displayed. The coordinate value of the moving body shown, the coordinate value of the vehicle C (the other vehicle C) indicated by the first position information obtained from the other vehicle C, and the movement indicated by the second position information obtained from the other vehicle C. It is advisable to calculate the position of the moving body using the coordinate values of the body. However, each piece of information has a different magnitude of error. Further, the first position information, the second position information, the terminal position information, and the like are not necessarily detected at the same time point, but are information detected at different time points. Therefore, it is preferable that the control unit 10 preferentially uses some information over other information to calculate the position of the moving body.

For example, the control unit 10 may calculate the position of the moving body by preferentially using the first position information as compared with the second position information.
The control unit 10 preferentially uses the first position information and the second position information acquired by the in-vehicle relay device 1 which is its own device to determine the position of the moving body rather than the real-time position information from the received information providing device 9. It is good to calculate.
The control unit 10 may preferentially use the first position information, the second position information, and the terminal position information having the latest time information to calculate the position of the moving body.
The control unit 10 preferentially uses the first position information or the second position information received by vehicle-to-vehicle communication over the first position information or the second position information received from the information providing device 9 to determine the position of the moving body. It is good to calculate.
The control unit 10 may calculate the position of the moving body by preferentially using the terminal position information directly acquired from the mobile terminal device 8 rather than the terminal position information received from the information providing device 9.
The control unit 10 may calculate the position of the moving body by preferentially using the second position information of the pedestrian P rather than the terminal position information indicating the position of the pedestrian P.
The method of giving priority to the coordinate values is not particularly limited. The control unit 10 may calculate the position of the moving body based on the weighted average value of each coordinate value. Further, the position of the moving body may be calculated by using only the coordinate values having high priority.

Also, the latest first position information and second information indicating the coordinates of the moving body cannot be obtained. Therefore, the control unit 10 may be configured to estimate the current position and speed of the moving body. For example, a Kalman filter may be used to estimate the current position and velocity of the moving object. Further, when the communication information is obtained, the position and speed of the moving body may be estimated in consideration of the control contents of the engine, the brake, and the steering device indicated by the communication information.

Next, the control unit 10 executes a warning process (step S23) based on the position information of the moving body obtained in the process of step S22, and ends the process.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the procedure of warning processing. The control unit 10 uses the map information to exclude the moving body outside the parking lot A from the warning target (step S51). Specifically, the control unit 10 discards the position information outside the parking lot A among the position information of the moving body calculated in step S22.

The control unit 10 uses the map information to exclude a moving object at a position where the vehicle C cannot move from the warning target (step S52). Specifically, the control unit 10 discards the position coordinates corresponding to the positions where the vehicle C cannot move, which is indicated by the map information, among the position information of the moving body calculated in step S22.

The control unit 10 estimates the traveling route based on the map information, the acquired communication information, the first position information, and the like (step S53). Then, the control unit 10 excludes a moving body that is not on the traveling path from the warning target (step S54). Specifically, the control unit 10 discards the position information of the moving body calculated in step S22 that is not on the traveling path of the vehicle C.

The control unit 10 identifies a moving body that may collide based on the position information of the moving body that remains without being excluded from the processing of steps S51 to S54 and the first position information (step S55). A process for warning the existence of a moving object that may collide is executed (step S56). For example, the control unit 10 may collide with the vehicle C when the vehicle C is on a travel path on which the vehicle C can move and there is a moving body within a predetermined distance from the position of the vehicle C indicated by the first position information. Information indicating the existence of a moving body having a property is output to the driving support device 6. Further, when the control unit 10 can determine the type of the moving body, the control unit 10 may output information indicating the type of the moving body such as the vehicle C or the pedestrian P to the driving support device 6. Further, when the moving direction of the moving body can be estimated, the information indicating the moving direction of the moving body may be output to the driving support device 6.

The driving support device 6 acquires the information output from the control unit 10 via the input / output I / F15 and warns of the existence of a moving body that may collide with the vehicle C.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of warning the existence of the vehicle C in the back. The vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of the vehicle C in "No. 5" of the parking lot A communicates with the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of the vehicle C backing from "No. 1" via vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) or an information providing device 9. Communication (V2N) is performed. The vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of the vehicle C in "No. 5" specifies, for example, the position and the moving direction of the vehicle C backing from "No. 1". The in-vehicle relay device 1 approaches the vehicle C and warns of the existence of the vehicle C that may collide with the vehicle C. For example, the driving support device 6 displays characters such as "The car is backing from No. 1! Attention!" On the display device.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of warning the existence of the pedestrian P. The peripheral recognition device 4 of the vehicle C in "No. 5" of the parking lot A is in a situation where the pedestrian P diagonally behind cannot be recognized, and the in-vehicle relay device 1 is the second position information indicating the position of the pedestrian P. Have not been acquired. However, the mobile terminal device 8 possessed by the pedestrian P communicates with the information providing device 9, and the in-vehicle relay device 1 can acquire the terminal position information via the information providing device 9. The vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of the vehicle C in "No. 5" warns, for example, the existence of a pedestrian P existing in the vicinity. For example, the driving support device 6 displays characters such as "There is a pedestrian P in the vicinity! Attention!" On the display device.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which the pedestrian P is detected by using the camera 41 and the presence of the pedestrian P is warned. The peripheral recognition device 4 of the vehicle C in "No. 5" of the parking lot A is in a situation where it cannot recognize the pedestrian P behind, and the in-vehicle relay device 1 provides the second position information indicating the position of the pedestrian P. I haven't got it. The vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of the vehicle C in "No. 5" of the parking lot A communicates with the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of the vehicle C in "No. 2" via vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) or an information providing device 9. Communication (V2N) is performed. The peripheral recognition device 4 of the vehicle C in "No. 2" can detect the pedestrian P by the camera 41, and the in-vehicle relay device 1 acquires the second position information of the pedestrian P. The vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of the vehicle C in "No. 5" acquires the second position information of the pedestrian P by inter-vehicle communication (V2V) or communication via the information providing device 9 (V2N). Can be done. The vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of the vehicle C in "No. 5" warns, for example, the existence of a pedestrian P existing in the vicinity. For example, the driving support device 6 displays characters such as "There is a pedestrian P in the vicinity! Attention!" On the display device.

According to the vehicle communication system, the vehicle-mounted device, the control method, and the computer program 11a according to the first embodiment configured in this way, among the vehicle-mounted relay devices 1 mounted on the plurality of vehicles C in the parking lot A, By sharing the first position information and the second position information of the moving body, the pedestrian P and the vehicle C moving in the parking lot A can be effectively recognized.

If possible, the in-vehicle relay device 1 acquires the first position information, the second position information, and the communication information by vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Therefore, as compared with the case where the real-time position information is obtained from the information providing device 9, newer first position information, second position information and communication information can be acquired, and the moving body in the parking lot A can be acquired more accurately. The position can be calculated.

The in-vehicle relay device 1 can recognize the moving body existing in the parking lot A without omission by taking the logical sum of the positions of the moving bodies indicated by the real-time position information obtained from the plurality of vehicles C.

The in-vehicle relay device 1 calculates the position of one moving body based on a plurality of first position information, second position information, or terminal position information. Therefore, the in-vehicle relay device 1 can calculate a more probable position of the moving body.

The in-vehicle relay device 1 preferentially calculates the position of the moving body by using the first position information (GNSS position information) having higher position detection accuracy than the second position information (sensor position information). Therefore, the in-vehicle relay device 1 can more accurately calculate the position of the moving body in the parking lot A.

The first position information and the second position information obtained from the vehicle C on which the in-vehicle relay device 1 which is the own device is mounted are more reliable than the real-time position information obtained from the other vehicle C, and therefore are in-vehicle. The relay device 1 preferentially uses the former information to calculate the position of the moving body. Therefore, the in-vehicle relay device 1 can more accurately calculate the position of the moving body in the parking lot A.

When there is a plurality of information indicating the same mobile body, the in-vehicle relay device 1 calculates the position of the moving body using the newer first position information, second position information, and terminal position information. Therefore, the in-vehicle relay device 1 can more accurately calculate the position of the moving body in the parking lot A.

When the in-vehicle relay device 1 has the first position information and the second position information received by the vehicle-to-vehicle communication and the first position information and the second position information received from the information providing device 9, the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 is used in the vehicle-to-vehicle communication. The position of the moving body is calculated by preferentially using the received first position information and the second position information. The first position information and the second position information obtained by vehicle-to-vehicle communication are newer. Therefore, the position of the moving body in the parking lot A can be calculated more accurately.

The in-vehicle relay device 1 more accurately identifies a moving body that may collide with the vehicle C by adding communication information indicating the driving state of the vehicle C in addition to the first position information and the second position information. can do. By using the communication information, the moving speed and the moving direction of the vehicle C can be grasped more accurately, and the position of the moving body can be estimated accurately.

Since the in-vehicle relay device 1 identifies the pedestrian P using the terminal position information, the position of the pedestrian P that was not detected by the peripheral recognition device 4 can be specified. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 can more reliably identify the pedestrian P that may collide with the vehicle C on which the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 is mounted.

The in-vehicle relay device 1 identifies the position of the pedestrian P, which is a moving body, by using the terminal position information received by wireless communication with the mobile terminal device 8. The terminal position information directly received from the mobile terminal device 8 is newer than the terminal position information acquired via the information providing device 9. Therefore, the pedestrian P, which is a moving body that may collide with the vehicle C, can be identified more accurately.

By excluding the moving body existing outside the parking lot A, the in-vehicle relay device 1 can more accurately identify the moving body that may collide with the vehicle C.

The in-vehicle relay device 1 can more accurately identify a moving body that may collide with the vehicle C by excluding the moving body in a position where the vehicle C cannot move.

The vehicle-mounted relay device 1 can more accurately identify a moving body that may collide with the vehicle C by specifying a moving body existing in the moving path of the vehicle C.

The method of calculating the position of the vehicle C is the same as the process of step S22.

The server control unit 90 uses the map information to exclude the vehicle C outside the parking lot A from the warning target (step S212). Specifically, the server control unit 90 discards the coordinate values outside the parking lot A among the coordinate values of the vehicle C calculated in step S211.

The server control unit 90 estimates the traveling route of the vehicle C based on the map information, the first position information obtained from the vehicle-mounted relay device 1, the communication information, and the like (step S213).

Transmission to the mobile terminal device 8 (step S215). The mobile terminal device 8 receives the information, outputs a voice for warning the existence of the colliding vehicle C, and displays an image. Since it takes a certain amount of time for the information related to the warning to be transmitted to the mobile terminal device 8 and the warning to be issued, it is preferable to estimate the position of the vehicle C at a predetermined time ahead of the present time and perform the warning processing.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of warning the pedestrian P of the presence of the vehicle C in the back. The vehicle-mounted relay device 1 of the vehicle C in the "No. 1" of the parking lot A and the mobile terminal device 8 possessed by the pedestrian P communicate with the information providing device 9. The in-vehicle relay device 1 transmits the first position information and the second position information to the information providing device 9, and the mobile terminal device 8 transmits the terminal position information to the information providing device 9.

The information providing device 9 identifies the vehicle C that may collide with the pedestrian P based on the real-time position information received from the in-vehicle relay device 1 and the mobile terminal device 8. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the vehicle C backing from "No. 1" in the parking lot A is identified as the vehicle C that may collide with the pedestrian P, and the warning information is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 8. Will be done. The mobile terminal device 8 displays characters such as "The car is backing from No. 1! Attention!".

(Embodiment 3)
In the third embodiment, the transmission timing of the map information and the real-time position information is different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the above differences will be mainly described below. Since other configurations and actions and effects are the same as those in the embodiment, the corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a distribution procedure of map information and real-time information. The control unit 10 of the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 transmits the map request information including the first position information and requests the map information to the information providing device 9 by the first vehicle-mounted communication device 21 (step S311).

The information providing device 9 receives the map request information transmitted from the in-vehicle relay device 1, and the server control unit 90 selects the map information of the parking lot A within the first predetermined distance from the requesting vehicle C (() Step S312). The server control unit 90 can recognize the position of the requesting vehicle C based on the first position information included in the map request information. The server storage unit 91 stores map information of a plurality of parking lots. The server control unit 90 calculates the distance between the recognized position of the vehicle C and the position of the parking lot A, and selects map information in which the calculated distance is within the first predetermined distance.

Then, the server control unit 90 transmits the selected map information to the in-vehicle relay device 1 of the map request source (step S313). The control unit 10 of the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 receives the map information transmitted from the information providing device 9 (step S314).

The control unit 10 acquires the first position information (GNSS position information) from the navigation ECU 30 (step S315). Further, the control unit 10 acquires communication information (CAN communication information) from the drive ECU 50 (step S316). Then, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the vehicle C is within the second predetermined distance shorter than the first predetermined distance and may enter the parking lot A (step S317). For example, the control unit 10 determines that the vehicle C enters the parking lot A when the steering is performed to move toward the entrance of the parking lot A and the vehicle decelerates before the position entrance of the parking lot A.
When it is determined that the vehicle C does not enter the parking lot A (step S317: NO), the control unit 10 returns the process to step S315 and continues to monitor the approaching state of the vehicle C to the parking lot A. When it is determined that the vehicle C enters the parking lot A (step S317: YES), the control unit 10 sends the real-time information request information requesting the provision of real-time information of the moving body in the parking lot A to the first in-vehicle communication device. It is transmitted to the information providing device 9 at 21 (step S318).

When the information providing device 9 receives the real-time information request information from the vehicle-mounted relay device 1, the server control unit 90 starts providing the real-time information to the requesting vehicle-mounted relay device 1 (step S319). After that, the server control unit 90 periodically transmits real-time information.

The control unit 10 of the vehicle-mounted relay device 1 that has transmitted the real-time information request information calculates the position of the moving body in the parking lot A in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and warns of the existence of the moving body that may collide. (Step S320).

Next, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the vehicle C equipped with the in-vehicle relay device 1 which is its own device has gone out of the parking lot A based on the first position information (step S321). When it is determined that the vehicle C is not outside the parking lot A (step S321: NO), the position detection of the moving body in the parking lot A and the warning process are continuously executed. When it is determined that the vehicle C has gone out of the parking lot A (step S321: YES), the control unit 10 transmits the stop request information requesting the stop of providing the real-time information to the information providing device 9 by the first in-vehicle communication device 21. (Step S322).

When the information providing device 9 receives the stop request information, the server control unit 90 stops providing the real-time information to the requesting vehicle-mounted relay device 1 (step S323).

At this stage, the real-time position information of the moving object has not been delivered yet.
When the vehicle C further approaches the parking lot A, becomes within the second predetermined distance from the parking lot A, and enters the parking lot A, the distribution of the real-time position information of the moving body in the parking lot A is started. .. The in-vehicle relay device 1 receives the real-time position information of the mobile body delivered from the information providing device 9, and executes a process of warning the existence of the moving body that may collide.

When the vehicle C leaves the parking lot A, the in-vehicle relay device 1 requests the information providing device 9 to stop the distribution of the real-time position information, and discards the map information.
