Drawing 1 is a figure showing an outline of a driving support method concerning an embodiment. The driving support method according to the embodiment is executed by, for example, the driving support device 1 mounted on the vehicle 100.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the driving support device 1 receives predetermined information sent from a G sensor 30 (see FIG. 2) or a camera 31 (see FIG. 2) mounted on the vehicle 100, and causes external factors. An event occurring in the vehicle 100 is detected (step S01). For example, the driving assistance device 1 detects that an impact due to an external factor has been applied to the vehicle 100 based on information from the G sensor 30.

  Next, the driving assistance device 1 determines a matter to be dealt with by an occupant of the vehicle 100 in accordance with an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor (step S02). For example, when an impact greater than or equal to a predetermined value is applied to the vehicle 100, the driving support device 1 determines that an object has collided with the vehicle 100 and determines the matter “stop the vehicle and check the surroundings”. To do.

  Next, the driving assistance apparatus 1 presents a matter to be dealt with by the occupant of the vehicle 100 on the display unit 40 mounted on the vehicle 100 (step S03). For example, the driving assistance device 1 presents the occupant on the display unit 40 to stop the vehicle 100 and check the surroundings. The display unit 40 is a touch panel display that is attached to an in-vehicle device such as the navigation device 60 (see FIG. 2) and is provided at the center of the instrument panel of the vehicle 100, for example.

  Thereby, even when the occupant is not aware of an event (for example, a collision with an object) that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor, the driving support device 1 causes the occupant to appropriately deal with the generated event. Can do. Further, the driving support device 1 can cause the occupant to appropriately deal with the generated event even when the occupant does not know about the appropriate response to the event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor.

  Further, the driving support device 1 detects and detects an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor when the vehicle 100 performs automatic driving that automatically travels along a preset route. Depending on the event, the automatic driving may be canceled and the occupant may be dealt with.

  For example, when it is detected that an impact greater than or equal to a predetermined value has been applied to the vehicle 100 and the matter “stop the vehicle and check the surroundings” is determined, the driving support device 1 cancels the automatic driving. The vehicle 100 can be stopped.

  As a result, the driving support device 1 can cause the occupant to appropriately deal with the generated event even when the occupant who is driving automatically does not notice the event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor. Further, the driving support device 1 causes the occupant to appropriately deal with the generated event even when the occupant who is driving automatically does not know about the appropriate response to the event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor.

  The detection part 11 detects the event which arose in the vehicle 100 by the external factor by analyzing the bird's-eye view image imaged with the cameras 31a-31d. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3A, the detection unit 11 may learn the feature amount of the overhead image data by machine learning, for example, deep learning, and detect that the captured object X is not a person but an object. it can. Thereby, the detection unit 11 can detect that the object X which is an object exists in the vicinity of the vehicle 100.

  FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating another example of a captured image in the driving assistance apparatus 1 according to the embodiment. Similar to the example of FIG. 3A, the detection unit 11 analyzes the overhead image captured by the cameras 31 a to 31 d.

  For example, the detection unit 11 can learn the feature amount of the overhead image data by machine learning such as deep learning, and can detect that the captured object Y is not a thing but a person. Thereby, the detection part 11 can detect that the object Y which is a person has fallen in the vicinity of the vehicle 100. FIG.

  Note that the image that can be captured by the camera 31 is not limited to the overhead view image, and may be any image as long as an object or a person around the vehicle 100 can be detected. Further, the machine learning that can be used in the detection unit 11 is not limited to deep learning, and a classifier such as SVM (Support Vector Machine) or AdaBoost may be used.

  Furthermore, the information input to the detection unit 11 is not limited to information based on impact information applied to the vehicle 100 or information around the vehicle 100, and any information can be used as long as an event occurring in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor can be detected. Such information may be used.

  Returning to the description of FIG. The determination unit 12 receives information from the detection unit 11 regarding the event that occurs in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor and is detected by the detection unit 11. And the determination part 12 determines the thing which the passenger | crew of the vehicle 100 should deal with according to the event detected by the detection part 11. FIG. Specifically, the determination unit 12 determines a matter to be dealt with by the occupant of the vehicle 100 based on the event detected by the detection unit 11 and various conditions stored in advance in the occupant handling information 21 of the storage unit 20. decide.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the occupant handling information 21 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the occupant handling information 21 stores an impact condition 21a, a vehicle surrounding condition 21b, and an occupant handling matter 21c in association with each other.

  The impact condition 21a indicates information related to an impact applied to the vehicle 100, for example. The vehicle ambient condition 21b indicates information regarding whether or not an object or a person exists around the vehicle 100, for example. The occupant handling matter 21c indicates information related to the matter determined by the determination unit 12 when the impact condition 21a and the vehicle surrounding condition 21b are met.

  As an example, when the impact condition 21a is “ΔΔ (G) or more” and the vehicle surrounding condition 21b is “no object in the surroundings”, the passenger handling matter 21c is “stop the vehicle and check the surroundings” Is stored. In addition, when the impact condition 21a is “●● (G) or more” and the vehicle surrounding condition 21b is “an object is present in the surroundings”, the passenger handling matter 21c is “stop the vehicle, "Removed" is remembered.

  The deciding unit 12 decides a matter that the occupant should deal with with respect to an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor while referring to the occupant handling information 21 shown in FIG. For example, when an impact greater than or equal to a predetermined value is applied to the vehicle 100, the determination unit 12 determines that an object has collided with the vehicle 100 and determines the matter “stop the vehicle and check the surroundings”. be able to.

  Thereby, the determination part 12 can stop the vehicle 100 and make a passenger | crew confirm the circumference | surroundings, when it is estimated that a certain object collided with the vehicle 100. FIG.

  The conditions included in the occupant handling information 21 are not limited to the impact condition 21a and the vehicle surrounding condition 21b, and may be other information based on events that can be detected by the detection unit 11. For example, the speed of the vehicle 100 when an impact is detected, the weather at that time (for example, the condition is changed between raining and clearing), the road surface condition (for example, driving on a good road) The condition may be set as appropriate based on the case and the case where the vehicle is traveling on a rough road.

  Returning to the description of FIG. The presentation unit 13 receives information related to matters determined by the determination unit 12 to be handled by a passenger of the vehicle 100. Then, the presentation unit 13 presents the occupant with matters to be dealt with. Specifically, the presentation unit 13 transmits information related to a matter that the occupant should deal with to the display unit 40 and causes the display unit 40 to present the matter that the occupant should deal with.

  The reception unit 14 receives an input operation from the occupant regarding whether or not the occupant has dealt with the matter that the occupant presented on the display unit 40 should deal with.

  The traveling control unit 15 controls the traveling state of the vehicle 100. For example, the travel control unit 15 is connected to a brake control unit 50, a throttle control unit 51, a steering control unit 52, and a navigation device 60 provided in the vehicle 100. Then, the travel control unit 15 causes the brake control unit 50 to perform braking control, causes the throttle control unit 51 to perform acceleration / deceleration control, and causes the steering control unit 52 to perform steering control, thereby changing the traveling state of the vehicle 100.

  The travel control unit 15 includes an automatic driving unit 16. The automatic driving unit 16 causes the brake control unit 50 to perform braking control, causes the throttle control unit 51 to perform acceleration / deceleration control, and causes the steering control unit 52 to perform steering control. To run automatically.

  Further, the traveling control unit 15 is transmitted from the determination unit 12 via the reception unit 14 regarding whether or not the occupant has dealt with the matter to be dealt with. Then, the traveling control unit 15 can regulate the driving of the vehicle 100 until the receiving unit 14 receives that all of these matters have been dealt with.

  For example, when the determination unit 12 determines to stop the vehicle 100, the travel control unit 15 determines that the vehicle 100 is informed until information indicating that the handling of the matter has been completed is transmitted from the determination unit 12 via the reception unit 14. Can be prohibited.

  FIG. 5A is a diagram illustrating an example of a presentation process and a reception process in the driving support device 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5A, the presentation unit 13 presents matters to be handled by the occupant on the display unit 40, for example, in a check list format (step S11).

  For example, when the determination unit 12 determines “stop the vehicle and check the surroundings”, the presentation unit 13 presents the display unit 40 with “Did you get out of the car and check all the surroundings?” .

  Further, the presentation unit 13 checks whether or not the occupant has dealt with the matter that the occupant should deal with (step S12). For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the presentation unit 13 presents check boxes such as “Yes” and “No” adjacent to the matter to be dealt with.

  When the occupant inputs a check mark in the check box, the reception unit 14 receives information regarding whether or not the occupant has dealt with the matter to be dealt with based on the input operation.

  When all of the matters to be dealt with are dealt with, the traveling control unit 15 cancels the restriction of the driving applied to the vehicle 100. For example, when the determination unit 12 determines that the vehicle 100 is stopped and all the matters to be dealt with are dealt with, the traveling control unit 15 permits the driving of the vehicle 100 to be resumed (step S13).

  Thereby, the driving assistance device 1 can restart driving after causing the occupant to appropriately deal with an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor. Therefore, according to the example of FIG. 5A, it is possible to prevent the occupant from leaving the place without appropriately dealing with an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor. In particular, it is possible to prevent the occupant from leaving the spot without taking appropriate measures during automatic driving.

  In addition, when making a passenger | crew confirm the circumference | surroundings of the vehicle 100 as mentioned above, even if it makes a passenger | crew confirm the circumference | surroundings of the vehicle 100 by displaying the bird's-eye view image imaged with the cameras 31a-31d on the display part 40, such a bird's-eye view image.

  FIG. 5B is a diagram illustrating another example of the presentation process and the reception process in the driving support device 1 according to the embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 5B, when the reception unit 14 receives an input operation from the occupant that there is an object that has collided with the vehicle 100, the determination unit 12 that has received information regarding the input operation further deals with the occupant. What to do is determined (step S21).

  Next, the presentation unit 13 presents a matter to be further dealt with by the occupant determined by the determination unit 12 (step S22). For example, the presenting unit 13 additionally presents the display unit 40 with “Have you removed the bumped object from the road?”

  When all of the added matters to be dealt with are dealt with, the traveling control unit 15 cancels the restriction of driving applied to the vehicle 100. For example, when the stop of the vehicle 100 is determined by the determination unit 12 and all of the added matters to be dealt with are dealt with, the traveling control unit 15 permits the driving of the vehicle 100 to be resumed (step S23).

  Thereby, the driving assistance apparatus 1 can restart driving | running | working, after making a passenger | crew cope appropriately when an object collides with the vehicle 100. FIG. Therefore, according to the example of FIG. 5B, it is possible to prevent the occupant from leaving the place without properly dealing with the collision of an object with the vehicle 100 during automatic driving or the like.

  FIG. 5C is a diagram illustrating another example of the presentation process and the reception process in the driving support device 1 according to the embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 5C, when the reception unit 14 receives an input operation from the occupant that there was a person who collided with the vehicle 100, the determination unit 12 that has received the information related to the input operation is a matter that the occupant should further deal with. Is determined (step S31).

  Next, the presentation unit 13 presents a matter to be further dealt with by the occupant determined by the determination unit 12 (step S32). For example, the presentation unit 13 additionally presents the display unit 40 with “Have you moved the bumped person to a safe place?”.

  When all of the added matters to be dealt with are dealt with, the traveling control unit 15 cancels the restriction of driving applied to the vehicle 100. For example, when the stop of the vehicle 100 is determined by the determining unit 12 and all of the added matters to be dealt with are dealt with, the traveling control unit 15 permits the driving of the vehicle 100 to be resumed (step S33).

  Thereby, the driving assistance apparatus 1 can restart driving | running | working, after making a passenger | crew cope appropriately when a person collides with the vehicle 100. FIG. Therefore, according to the example of FIG. 5C, it is possible to prevent the occupant from leaving the place without properly dealing with the collision of the person with the vehicle 100 during automatic driving or the like.

  Further, as a condition for canceling the restriction of driving, a third party operation may be required separately from or in addition to the input operation by the occupant. Such a third party is preferably a public organization such as the police or a fire department.

  The occupant notifies a third party when a person collides with the vehicle 100. When the third party comes to the site and confirms that the countermeasure has been completed, for example, a release code known only by the third party and not disclosed to the general public is input to the driving support device 1. Here, it is assumed that the cancellation code is stored in advance in the driving support device 1 in a form that cannot be deciphered by a general person. The driving support device 1 cancels the driving restriction if the input cancellation code matches the stored code.

  Alternatively, the third party does not come directly to the site, but remotely confirms the situation on the site from the video of the camera 31 obtained through the communication line, and confirms that the countermeasure has been completed. May be transmitted. The driving support device 1 cancels the driving restriction if the transmitted release code matches the one stored in advance.

  FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating an example of a driving support process in the driving support device 1 according to the embodiment. When all the matters to be dealt with are dealt with, the determination unit 12 can perform driving support according to an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor.

  For example, when an object collides with the vehicle 100, the determination unit 12 instructs the traveling control unit 15 to set up a repair shop 110 that can repair the vehicle 100 as a destination candidate as shown in FIG. 6A. It is displayed on the display unit of the navigation device 60. Thereby, the determination part 12 can assist the movement to this repair shop 110. FIG.

  Therefore, according to the embodiment, an occupant can be more appropriately dealt with with respect to an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100. Information on the destination presented in response to an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 is stored in the map information 22 of the storage unit 20.

  FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating another example of the driving support process in the driving support device 1 according to the embodiment. When all the matters to be dealt with are dealt with, the determination unit 12 can cause the automatic driving unit 16 to automatically drive the vehicle 100 toward the destination corresponding to the event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor. .

  For example, when an object collides with the vehicle 100, the determination unit 12 causes the vehicle 100 to automatically operate toward a repair factory 110 that can repair the vehicle 100 as shown in FIG. Movement to the factory 110 can be supported. Thereby, the driving assistance apparatus 1 can make a passenger | crew cope more appropriately with respect to the event which arose in the vehicle 100 by the external factor.

  Note that the destination for which driving assistance is performed is not limited to the repair factory 110. For example, driving assistance for a destination such as a hospital or a police station may be performed.

  In the embodiment, an image around the vehicle 100 captured by the camera 31 may be stored in the storage unit 20. For example, the driving support device 1 can store a moving image of 10 seconds before and after an impact is detected in the storage unit 20. Accordingly, it is possible to make the occupant conscious of confirming the surroundings of the vehicle 100 each time an impact is detected by the G sensor 30.

  Furthermore, when the image captured by the camera 31 is stored in the storage unit 20, the driving support device 1 determines whether to store the stored image separately in the nonvolatile area when an impact is detected. Can be confirmed.

The detection unit 11 detects an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor by using, for example, the G sensor 30 or the camera 31 mounted on the vehicle 100.

  Next, the determination part 12 determines the matter which the passenger | crew of the vehicle 100 should deal with according to the event detected by the detection part 11 (step S102). For example, the determination unit 12 refers to the occupant handling information 21 and determines a matter that the occupant should deal with for an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor.

  Next, the presentation unit 13 presents on the display unit 40 matters to be dealt with by the occupant determined by the determination unit 12 (step S103).

  Next, the determination unit 12 determines whether all matters to be dealt with have been dealt with (step S104). For example, the determination unit 12 determines whether or not the occupant has dealt with all matters to be dealt with based on the input operation from the occupant accepted by the accepting unit 14.

  When all the matters to be dealt with are dealt with (Yes at Step S104), the determination unit 12 permits the resumption of driving of the vehicle 100 (Step S105). Next, the determination unit 12 performs driving support according to an event that has occurred in the vehicle 100 due to an external factor (step S106), and ends the process.
