Description

運転支援システムDriving support system
 本発明は、車両等の移動体の安全運転を支援する技術に関し、特に、運転者に適切な運転動作をさせるよう支援する運転支援システムに適用して有効な技術に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a technology that supports safe driving of a moving body such as a vehicle, and more particularly to a technology that is effective when applied to a driving support system that supports a driver to perform an appropriate driving operation.
 自動車等の車両においては、IT技術の適用の拡大・進化などに伴い、車両の運転における事故防止や安全確保などを自動的に行う仕組みが検討され、適用され始めている。例えば、車両を運転する運転者の危険な運転や状態を検知して、警告や通知を行ったり車両の制御を行ったりして安全運転を支援する技術が検討されている。 In vehicles such as automobiles, with the expansion and evolution of the application of IT technology, a mechanism for automatically preventing accidents and ensuring safety during vehicle operation has been studied and started to be applied. For example, a technique for assisting safe driving by detecting dangerous driving or a state of a driver who drives a vehicle and issuing a warning or notification or controlling the vehicle has been studied.
 これに関連する技術として、例えば、特開2011-242190号公報(特許文献1)には、過去のドライバの車両運転時に収集された情報に基づいて生成された、ドライバの生体情報が平常な状態から変化する場所が記録されたハザードマップが記憶されているハザードマップ記憶部と、位置取得部が取得した車両の位置がハザードマップに記録された場所であるときに、生体情報取得部が取得したドライバのリアルタイムの生体情報に所定の変化がなければ、ドライバの状態が危険な状態であると判定する危険状態判定部と、ドライバの状態が危険な状態であると判定された場合に、ドライバに対して注意喚起の警告を行う警告部とを有する運転支援装置が記載されている。 As a technology related to this, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-242190 (Patent Document 1), a driver's biometric information generated based on information collected during driving of a driver in the past is in a normal state. Acquired by the biometric information acquisition unit when the hazard map storage unit storing the hazard map in which the location changed from is stored and the vehicle position acquired by the position acquisition unit is the location recorded in the hazard map If there is no predetermined change in the driver's real-time biometric information, a dangerous state determination unit that determines that the driver's state is dangerous, and a driver that determines that the driver's state is dangerous A driving support device having a warning unit that issues a warning for alerting is described.
 また、例えば、特開2009-29343号公報(特許文献2)には、予防安全装置が作動した時、あるいは予防安全装置を作動させる車輪速センサ、ヨーレートセンサ、ブレーキ圧センサのセンサ値が予め設定した閾値を越えた場合に、坂道、非舗装道路、カーブ、駐車場、交差点などの走行場所と、絶対時間、降雪情報、降雨情報、外気温などの走行環境と、車両速度などの車両状態とを車両端末内の記憶部に記憶しておき、車両が記憶された走行場所を記憶された走行環境下と車両状態で走行しようとした場合に、ドライバへの警告通知または車両減速制御によって安全運転支援を行う車載端末装置が記載されている。 Further, for example, in JP 2009-29343 A (Patent Document 2), sensor values of a wheel speed sensor, a yaw rate sensor, and a brake pressure sensor that operate the preventive safety device or activate the preventive safety device are set in advance. If the threshold is exceeded, the driving location such as slopes, paved roads, curves, parking lots, intersections, the driving environment such as absolute time, snowfall information, rainfall information, outside temperature, and vehicle status such as vehicle speed Is stored in the storage unit in the vehicle terminal, and when the vehicle is about to travel in the stored driving environment and in the vehicle state, the vehicle is safely driven by warning notification to the driver or vehicle deceleration control. An in-vehicle terminal device that performs support is described.
 また、例えば、特表2013-514592号公報(特許文献3)には、ドライバから視線ベクトルを受け取る視線検知器、および近隣の複数の物体の位置及びそれらの速度を検出する近接センサを備え、近隣の物体の位置及び速度に基づいて車両事故リスクを判定するとともに、車両の周囲の状況に関するドライバの認識を、近隣の物体の位置および速度に加えて、視線位置にも基づいて判定し、ドライバの認識および車両事故リスクに応じて車両警報を起動する技術が記載されている。 In addition, for example, Japanese translations of PCT publication No. 2013-514593 (Patent Document 3) includes a line-of-sight detector that receives a line-of-sight vector from a driver, and a proximity sensor that detects the positions and speeds of a plurality of nearby objects. The vehicle accident risk is determined based on the position and speed of the other object, and the driver's recognition of the situation around the vehicle is determined based on the gaze position in addition to the position and speed of the nearby object. A technique for triggering a vehicle alarm in response to recognition and vehicle accident risk is described.
 また、近距離無線通信等を利用した車両間通信により、各車両における運転支援に係る情報を他の車両に提供することで、これらの車両間での事故防止を含む走行の安全を図る技術も検討されている。例えば、特開平5-266399号公報(特許文献4)には、前方に存在する他車からの情報を受信する手段と、前方車および自車の情報を処理した結果を、後方に存在する他車へ送信する手段と、自車内に存在する各種コントローラと接続された、走行情報処理手段とからなる自動車間通信による走行制御装置が記載されている。 In addition, there is also a technique for providing driving safety including accident prevention between these vehicles by providing information related to driving support in each vehicle to other vehicles by inter-vehicle communication using short-range wireless communication or the like.

 上述した各特許文献に記載されたような技術を用いることで、例えば、車両の位置や運転状況、運転者の状況、外部環境、さらには他の車両から得られた情報などに応じて危険の程度を推測し、必要に応じて警告や車両制御などの措置を行うことが可能である。 By using techniques such as those described in each of the above-mentioned patent documents, for example, depending on the position of the vehicle, the driving situation, the situation of the driver, the external environment, information obtained from other vehicles, etc. It is possible to estimate the degree and take measures such as warning and vehicle control as necessary.
 しかしながら、これらの技術では、事故のリスクや危険度を、単に各時点において得られた各種情報に基づいて判定・算出した上で注意を促すものであり、運転者による一連の運転操作を考慮したものではない。すなわち、運転の際には、状況に応じて、単に「注意する」という内心の状態だけではなく、実際に運転者がとるべき一連の運転操作というものを観念することができ、これに従っていない場合には危険度は大きく増加することになる。 However, with these technologies, the risk and degree of danger of an accident are determined and calculated based on various information obtained at each point in time, and a warning is taken into account. It is not a thing. In other words, depending on the situation, when driving, you can imagine not only the inner state of `` careful '' but also a series of driving operations that the driver should actually take, and if this is not followed The risk will increase greatly.
 そこで本発明の目的は、運転者の実際の運転状況や運転操作の内容を把握し、これに基づいて車両運転の際の安全確認や安全運転の支援等を行う運転支援システムを提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a driving support system that grasps the actual driving situation and the content of the driving operation of the driver and performs safety confirmation and safe driving support based on this. is there.

It becomes possible.

 以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。なお、実施の形態を説明するための全図において、同一部には原則として同一の符号を付し、その繰り返しの説明は省略する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that components having the same function are denoted by the same reference symbols throughout the drawings for describing the embodiment, and the repetitive description thereof will be omitted.
 上述したように、近年では、自動車等の車両の運転に際して、車載の各種センサやCAN(Controller Area Network)などから得られる情報、他の車両から車両間通信により得られた情報、安全運転支援システム(DSSS:Driving Safety Support Systems)やその他のサーバシステム等から移動体通信を介して得られる情報などに基づいて、車両や外部環境の危険度に加えて、運転者の危険な運転、状態等を検知して、警告や通知を行ったり車両の制御を行ったりして安全運転を支援する技術が検討されている。 As described above, in recent years, when driving a vehicle such as an automobile, information obtained from various sensors mounted on the vehicle, CAN (Controller Area Network), etc., information obtained from other vehicles by inter-vehicle communication, a safe driving support system (DSSS: Driving Safety Support Systems) and other server systems, etc., based on information obtained via mobile communications, etc., in addition to the hazard level of the vehicle and the external environment, the driver's dangerous driving conditions Technologies that support safe driving by detecting and giving warnings and notifications or controlling vehicles are being studied.
 ここで、車両の運転に際しては、状況に応じて所定の動作を行うことが運転者に求められる場合がある。例えば、自動車において右折する際は、「右、左、右」の順で左右の安全確認を行う必要があり、このような安全確認動作が漏れると、事故発生のリスクは増加する。また、ギアをバックに入れた場合は、車両後方を目視したり、バックミラーや車載モニターを見て後方を確認する必要がある。また、後方に他の車両が接近してきた場合には、バックミラーを適宜見て後方の車両を確認する必要がある。このように、状況に応じて求められる所定の動作のパターンは多数想定し得る。 Here, when driving the vehicle, the driver may be required to perform a predetermined action depending on the situation. For example, when making a right turn in an automobile, it is necessary to confirm the right and left safety in the order of “right, left, right”. If such a safety confirmation operation is leaked, the risk of occurrence of an accident increases. In addition, when the gear is put in the back, it is necessary to visually check the back of the vehicle or to check the back by looking at the rearview mirror or the vehicle monitor. Further, when another vehicle approaches the rear, it is necessary to check the rear vehicle by appropriately viewing the rearview mirror. As described above, a large number of predetermined operation patterns required in accordance with the situation can be assumed.
 上記のような所定の動作は、主に運転者の視線によって把握することが可能である。近年では、アイトラッキングの技術が進展してきており、視点センサ(アイトラッキングセンサ)も比較的安価に利用することができる。 The predetermined operation as described above can be grasped mainly by the driver's line of sight. In recent years, eye tracking technology has progressed, and a viewpoint sensor (eye tracking sensor) can also be used at a relatively low cost.
 そこで、本発明の一実施の形態である運転支援システムは、自動車等の車両の安全運転を支援するシステムであって、車両において特定のイベントの発生や特定の状態となったことを検知した場合に、運転者の運転動作(本実施の形態では、特に視線の動き)を監視・検知して、運転者が所定の動作を行っているか否かを判定し、所定の動作パターンを順守していない場合には、警告等を行うことで、所定の動作を行うよう促すものである。これにより、人為的な運転操作の過誤による事故発生を低減させることを可能とする。また、注意を促す必要がある状況において、運転者が正しく所定の動作を行っている場合には、当該注意を省略することが可能となり、不要な警告等によって運転動作を煩わす状況を低減させることが可能となる。 Therefore, a driving support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports safe driving of a vehicle such as an automobile, and when a specific event occurs or a specific state is detected in the vehicle. In addition, the driver's driving operation (in this embodiment, particularly the movement of the line of sight) is monitored and detected to determine whether the driver is performing a predetermined operation and to comply with a predetermined operation pattern. If not, a warning or the like is issued to prompt the user to perform a predetermined operation. This makes it possible to reduce the occurrence of accidents due to errors in artificial driving operations. Also, if the driver is performing the prescribed action correctly in a situation that requires caution, the caution can be omitted, and the situation where the driver is bothered by unnecessary warnings can be reduced. Is possible.

For example, the mobile communication function has a function of connecting to the network 300 via a mobile communication carrier. Moreover, you may have the function between vehicles which mutually communicates with the other vehicles 100 by the function of near field communication. The navigation system 120 is a car navigation system that is generally mounted on the vehicle 100. In addition to the navigation function to the destination, the navigation system 120 includes, for example, map information (not shown) and a current position obtained by the GPS 140 described later. Based on the information and the like, it has a function of outputting map-related information such as road and terrain characteristics.
 車両情報センサ130は、車両100に設置されて、車両100についての各種情報を取得するセンサ群である。例えば、車両100の周辺の障害物や接近している他の車両100などを検知する周辺物検知センサや、温度センサ、気圧センサ、加速度センサなどが含まれ得る。GPS140は、GPS(Global Positioning System)のセンサであり、現在位置の緯度・経度の情報を取得する機能を有する。高度の情報も取得できるのが望ましい。車両100の現在位置(例えばxyz座標軸上の位置)を取得することができるものであれば、他の手段であってもよい。視点センサ150は、運転者の視線を追跡する機能を有するアイトラッキングセンサであり、例えば、車両100のダッシュボード上などに設置される。車両の所定の位置に予め埋め込まれて設置されていてもよい。 The vehicle information sensor 130 is a sensor group that is installed in the vehicle 100 and acquires various information about the vehicle 100. For example, a peripheral object detection sensor that detects an obstacle around the vehicle 100 or another vehicle 100 that is approaching, a temperature sensor, an atmospheric pressure sensor, an acceleration sensor, or the like may be included. The GPS 140 is a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor and has a function of acquiring information on latitude and longitude of the current position. It is desirable to be able to obtain advanced information. Other means may be used as long as the current position of the vehicle 100 (for example, a position on the xyz coordinate axis) can be acquired. The viewpoint sensor 150 is an eye tracking sensor having a function of tracking the driver's line of sight, and is installed on the dashboard of the vehicle 100, for example. It may be embedded in advance at a predetermined position of the vehicle.
 運転支援部160の車両イベント取得部161は、車両100に係るイベントを取得し、後述する車両状況166に保持された車両100のステータスに係る情報を適宜更新する機能を有する。車両100に係るイベントは、車両100全体を対象として発生・検知されるイベントであり、例えば、車両情報センサ130内の周辺物検知センサにより他の車両100や障害物等が検知された旨のイベントや、ナビゲーションシステム120により出力された、一方通行道路である旨の指示や、道幅が狭い、急カーブである、などの一般的な走行注意情報が含まれ得る。 The vehicle event acquisition unit 161 of the driving support unit 160 has a function of acquiring an event related to the vehicle 100 and appropriately updating information related to the status of the vehicle 100 held in the vehicle status 166 described later. The event related to the vehicle 100 is an event that is generated and detected for the entire vehicle 100. For example, an event indicating that another vehicle 100 or an obstacle is detected by the surrounding object detection sensor in the vehicle information sensor 130. Or, an instruction indicating that the road is a one-way road, general driving attention information such as a narrow road or a sharp curve, which is output by the navigation system 120, may be included.
 操作イベント取得部162は、車両100の運転者による運転操作に係るイベントを取得し、後述する車両状況166に保持された車両100のステータスに係る情報を適宜更新する機能を有する。運転操作に係るイベントは、運転者が車両100の運転操作を行うことにより発生・検知されるイベントであり、例えば、ブレーキ/アクセルを踏んだ、ハンドルを右/左に切った、右/左のウインカーを出した、バックギアに入れた、などのイベントを含み得る。 The operation event acquisition unit 162 has a function of acquiring an event related to a driving operation by a driver of the vehicle 100 and appropriately updating information related to the status of the vehicle 100 held in a vehicle situation 166 described later. The event related to the driving operation is an event that is generated / detected when the driver performs the driving operation of the vehicle 100. For example, the event of stepping on the brake / accelerator, turning the steering wheel to the right / left, right / left It may include events such as taking out a blinker or putting it in back gear.
 地図イベント取得部163は、通信部110を介して車両運行管理システム200から通知されたイベントを取得する機能を有する。車両運行管理システム200は、後述するように、車両100からネットワーク300を介して受信した現在位置の情報に基づいて、車両100の運行状況を管理するサービスを提供し、サービスの1つとして、車両100の現在位置に係る何らかの地図イベントが抽出された場合に、これをネットワーク300を介して車両100に応答する機能を有する。なお、車載システム101は、例えば、GPS140により得られた現在位置の情報や、車両情報センサ130により得られた各種情報を、定期的に通信部110を介して車両運行管理システム200に送信する。 The map event acquisition unit 163 has a function of acquiring an event notified from the vehicle operation management system 200 via the communication unit 110. As will be described later, the vehicle operation management system 200 provides a service for managing the operation status of the vehicle 100 based on the information on the current position received from the vehicle 100 via the network 300. As one of the services, the vehicle operation management system 200 When any map event related to the current position of 100 is extracted, the map 100 has a function of responding to the vehicle 100 via the network 300. The in-vehicle system 101 periodically transmits, for example, information on the current position obtained by the GPS 140 and various types of information obtained by the vehicle information sensor 130 to the vehicle operation management system 200 via the communication unit 110.
 現在位置に係る地図イベントは、車両運行管理システム200において多数の車両100から収集・蓄積された運行情報に基づいて抽出された注意情報を有する地域・道路に車両100が入った際に発生・検知されるイベントであり、例えば、事故が多発している道路、路面状況が悪い道路、危険なカーブがある道路、などに車両100が入った際に発生するイベントを含み得る。なお、地図イベント取得部163は必須の構成ではなく、設置はオプションとすることができる。 A map event related to the current position is generated / detected when the vehicle 100 enters an area / road having attention information extracted based on operation information collected and accumulated from a large number of vehicles 100 in the vehicle operation management system 200. For example, it may include an event that occurs when the vehicle 100 enters a road with many accidents, a road with bad road surface conditions, a road with a dangerous curve, or the like. Note that the map event acquisition unit 163 is not an essential component and can be installed as an option.
 運転者状況判定部164は、車両状況166に保持された車両100のステータスや、各イベント取得部(車両イベント取得部161~地図イベント取得部163)が取得したイベントの情報に基づいて、運転者が所定の動作を行う必要がある状況となったか否かを判定する機能を有する。所定の動作を行う必要がある状況であるか否かは、車両100のステータスやイベントが複合的に関連して判断される場合もある。 The driver situation determination unit 164 is based on the status of the vehicle 100 held in the vehicle situation 166 and the event information acquired by each event acquisition unit (vehicle event acquisition unit 161 to map event acquisition unit 163). Has a function of determining whether or not a situation has arisen in which it is necessary to perform a predetermined operation. Whether there is a situation in which a predetermined operation needs to be performed may be determined based on a combination of statuses and events of the vehicle 100.
 例えば、アクセルが踏まれて一定の速度で走行している状態で左のウインカーが出されたイベントを検知した場合、走行中の車線変更であり、運転者が左車線の安全を確認する動作を行う必要がある状況にあると判定する。なお、運転者が所定の動作を行う必要がある状況については、その際に運転者が行うべき動作(本実施の形態では視線の動き)と関連付けて、後述する視線定義167に予め登録されているものとする。 For example, if the left turn signal is detected when the accelerator is stepped on and the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed, it is a lane change while driving, and the driver checks the safety of the left lane. Determine that you are in a situation that needs to be done. Note that the situation in which the driver needs to perform a predetermined action is registered in advance in the line-of-sight definition 167 described later in association with the action (the movement of the line of sight in this embodiment) to be performed by the driver at that time. It shall be.
 視線監視部165は、運転者状況判定部164において運転者が所定の動作を行う必要がある状況にあると判定された場合に、視点センサ150により運転者の視線の動きを取得してトラッキングし、視線定義167に登録されている視線の動きのパターンを順守しているか否かを監視する機能を有する。視線が所定の領域(スピードメーター、バックミラー、車両100の前方左側、等)を見たか否かについては、視線の座標の経路と滞在時間により判断することができる。 The line-of-sight monitoring unit 165 acquires and tracks the movement of the driver's line of sight by the viewpoint sensor 150 when the driver state determination unit 164 determines that the driver needs to perform a predetermined action. , And a function of monitoring whether or not the line-of-sight movement pattern registered in the line-of-sight definition 167 is observed. Whether or not the line of sight has seen a predetermined area (speedometer, rearview mirror, front left side of the vehicle 100, etc.) can be determined by the path of the coordinates of the line of sight and the staying time.
 視線の動きのパターンを順守していない場合は、事故発生のリスクが高いとして、運転者に対して通知や警告を行う。通知や警告は、運転者に代えて、もしくはこれに加えて、例えば、車両運行管理システム200に対して送信したり、近隣に車両間通信が可能な他の車両100が存在する場合には当該車両100に対して送信したりしてもよい。 If the line-of-sight movement pattern is not observed, the driver is notified and warned that the risk of an accident is high. The notification or warning is transmitted to the vehicle operation management system 200 instead of or in addition to the driver, or when there is another vehicle 100 capable of inter-vehicle communication in the vicinity. It may be transmitted to the vehicle 100.
 車両状況166は、車両100に係るイベントの発生等に基づいて遷移する車両100のステータスに係る情報を保持するデータストアである。例えば、走行中か否か、ブレーキを踏んでいるか否か、ハンドルを切っているか否か、近隣に車両100が存在するか否か、などの管理する項目毎にON/OFFのフラグや数値などによりステータスとして保持する。車両状況166は、例えば、メモリ上にテーブルとして展開して保持することができる。 The vehicle status 166 is a data store that holds information related to the status of the vehicle 100 that changes based on the occurrence of an event related to the vehicle 100 or the like. For example, an ON / OFF flag or a numerical value for each item to be managed, such as whether the vehicle is traveling, whether the brake is stepped on, whether the steering wheel is turned off, whether the vehicle 100 exists in the vicinity, etc. Is held as a status. The vehicle situation 166 can be developed and held as a table on the memory, for example.
 また、視線定義167は、運転者が所定の動作を行う必要がある状況に係る情報と、その際に運転者が行うべき動作に係る情報とを関連付けて保持する。所定の動作を行う必要がある状況については、例えば、車両状況166に保持するステータスや、イベントの組み合わせ(アクセルが踏まれて一定の速度で走行している状態で左のウインカーが出された場合、等)によって定義し、所定の動作については、視線の動きのパターン(バックミラーを見た後、車両100の左側を目視、等)として定義する。 Also, the line-of-sight definition 167 holds information related to a situation in which the driver needs to perform a predetermined action and information related to an action to be performed by the driver at that time. For a situation where a predetermined action needs to be performed, for example, a status held in the vehicle situation 166 or a combination of events (when the left turn signal is issued while the accelerator is stepped on and traveling at a constant speed) The predetermined movement is defined as a line-of-sight movement pattern (viewing the rearview mirror and then viewing the left side of the vehicle 100, etc.).
 車両運行管理システム200は、複数の車両100の運行情報をネットワーク300を介して収集・蓄積して、車両100の運行に係る各種情報を分析・解析するとともに、その結果に基づいて得られた各種情報を、車両100に対して運行に供する情報として送信する等のサービスを提供する機能を有するサーバシステムである。なお、このようなサービスは既に一般に利用可能である。車両運行管理システム200は、例えば、サーバ機器や、クラウドコンピューティングサービス上に構築された仮想サーバなどにより構成され、ソフトウェアにより実装される地図イベント判定部210などの各部、およびデータベース等により実装される運行蓄積情報220や地図情報230などの各テーブルを有する。 The vehicle operation management system 200 collects and accumulates operation information of a plurality of vehicles 100 via the network 300, analyzes and analyzes various information related to operation of the vehicle 100, and various types obtained based on the results. This is a server system having a function of providing a service such as transmitting information to the vehicle 100 as information for operation. Such services are already generally available. The vehicle operation management system 200 includes, for example, a server device, a virtual server constructed on a cloud computing service, and the like, and is implemented by each unit such as the map event determination unit 210 implemented by software, a database, and the like. Each table includes operation accumulation information 220 and map information 230.
 運行蓄積情報220は、各車両100から収集した運行に係る情報を蓄積するテーブルである。例えば、図示しない解析部などの処理により、その内容を分析して、事故発生の可能性が高い地点や、運転に注意を要する地域などを抽出する。抽出した内容は、地図情報230に保持する。 The operation accumulation information 220 is a table for accumulating information related to operations collected from each vehicle 100. For example, the contents are analyzed by a process such as an analysis unit (not shown) to extract a point where an accident is likely to occur or an area requiring attention for driving. The extracted contents are held in the map information 230.
 地図イベント判定部210は、車両運行管理システム200によるサービスの1つとして、各車両100から受信した現在位置の情報に基づいて、現在位置に係る地図イベントがある場合には、これを抽出して、ネットワーク300を介して車両100に送信する機能を有する。すなわち、車両100の現在位置に基づいて、これに対応する地図情報230に登録されている事故発生の可能性の高い地点や道路等の有無を判定し、存在する場合にはその情報を抽出して、地図イベントとして車両100に送信する。なお、車両100から取得する現在位置の情報としては、上述したように、緯度・経度の2次元情報に加えて、高度や気圧などの情報も含むことができる。 As one of the services provided by the vehicle operation management system 200, the map event determination unit 210 extracts a map event related to the current position based on the information on the current position received from each vehicle 100, and extracts the map event. And has a function of transmitting to the vehicle 100 via the network 300. That is, based on the current position of the vehicle 100, it is determined whether or not there is a point or road that has a high possibility of occurrence of an accident registered in the map information 230 corresponding thereto, and if it exists, the information is extracted. And transmitted to the vehicle 100 as a map event. As described above, information on the current position acquired from the vehicle 100 can include information such as altitude and atmospheric pressure in addition to the two-dimensional information of latitude and longitude.
 以上の構成により、車両100において特定のイベントが発生したり特定のステータスに遷移したり等により、運転者が所定の動作を行う必要がある状況となった場合に、視点センサ150により運転者の視線の動きをトラッキングし、視線定義167に定義された動作パターンを順守しているか否かを判定する。なお、視線定義167では、「見るべき領域」による定義に代えて「見ていてはいけない領域」による定義とすることも可能である。 With the above configuration, when a specific event occurs in the vehicle 100 or when the driver needs to perform a predetermined action due to a transition to a specific status, the viewpoint sensor 150 causes the driver's The movement of the line of sight is tracked, and it is determined whether or not the movement pattern defined in the line-of-sight definition 167 is observed. Note that the line-of-sight definition 167 may be defined by a “region that should not be viewed” instead of the definition by the “region to be viewed”.
 また、車両100から車両運行管理システム200に対して送信する運行情報に、視線の移動履歴の情報も追加することで、運行蓄積情報220に視線の情報も蓄積されるようにしてもよい。これにより、例えば、視線の動きと事故発生や危険発生との関連性を分析することができ、分析結果に基づいて視線定義167の登録内容を改善していくという運用も可能となる。 Further, the line-of-sight information may be stored in the operation accumulation information 220 by adding the line-of-sight movement history information to the operation information transmitted from the vehicle 100 to the vehicle operation management system 200. Thereby, for example, the relationship between the movement of the line of sight and the occurrence of an accident or danger can be analyzed, and the operation of improving the registered contents of the line of sight definition 167 based on the analysis result is also possible.
 <処理フロー>
 図2は、本実施の形態の運転支援システム1における車両100の走行中の安全確認の処理の流れの例について概要を示したフローチャートである。車載システム101の運転支援部160では、まず、イベント取得部(車両イベント取得部161~地図イベント取得部163)がイベントを検知したか否かを判定する(S01)。イベントを検知していない場合は、イベントを検知するまでS01の処理を繰り返す。
<Processing flow>
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of a flow of a safety confirmation process during traveling of the vehicle 100 in the driving support system 1 of the present embodiment. The driving support unit 160 of the in-vehicle system 101 first determines whether the event acquisition unit (vehicle event acquisition unit 161 to map event acquisition unit 163) has detected an event (S01). If no event is detected, the process of S01 is repeated until an event is detected.
 ステップS01において何らかのイベントを検知した場合は、検知したイベントに応じて車両状況166における対応するステータスの情報を更新する(S02)。その後、運転者状況判定部164により、現在の車両状況166の内容や、検知したイベントに対応するエントリが視線定義167に登録されているか否かを検索し(S03)、登録の有無を確認する(S04)。対応するエントリが登録されていない場合は、ステップS01に戻ってイベント検知の処理を繰り返す。 If any event is detected in step S01, the corresponding status information in the vehicle situation 166 is updated according to the detected event (S02). Thereafter, the driver situation determination unit 164 searches the current vehicle situation 166 contents and whether or not the entry corresponding to the detected event is registered in the line-of-sight definition 167 (S03), and confirms whether or not it is registered. (S04). If the corresponding entry is not registered, the process returns to step S01 to repeat the event detection process.
 ステップS04において視線定義167にエントリが登録されている場合は、当該エントリにおいて関連付けられている動作パターン、すなわち本実施の形態では視線の動きのパターンの情報を取得し、パターンのステップ毎に処理を繰り返すループ処理を開始する(S05~S09)。ループ処理では、まず、視線監視部165が、視点センサ150により取得された視線の情報を取得する(S06)。視点センサ150が常時視線の情報を一定期間記録しておくようにすることで、一定時間過去に遡った時点からの視線の情報を取得するようにしてもよい。 When an entry is registered in the line-of-sight definition 167 in step S04, information on the movement pattern associated with the entry, that is, information on the line-of-sight movement pattern in the present embodiment is acquired, and processing is performed for each step of the pattern. Repeat loop processing is started (S05 to S09). In the loop process, first, the line-of-sight monitoring unit 165 acquires information on the line of sight acquired by the viewpoint sensor 150 (S06). The viewpoint sensor 150 may always record the line-of-sight information for a certain period of time, so that the line-of-sight information from a time point traced back for a certain period of time may be acquired.
 その後、取得した視線の動きが、視線定義167の動作パターンにおける対象のステップにおける動作内容を順守しているか否かを判定し(S07)、判定結果を確認する(S08)。動作内容は、例えば、「この領域を見ているべき」もしくは「この領域を見ていてはいけない」のような形式で定義することができる。ステップS08での判定結果がOKの場合は、視線定義167の動作パターンにおける次のステップに移行して、ループ処理を繰り返す(S09、S05)。動作パターンにおける全てのステップでの視線の判定結果がOKの場合は、ループ処理を終了し、ステップS01に戻ってイベント検知の処理を繰り返す。 Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the acquired movement of the line of sight complies with the operation content in the target step in the movement pattern of the line-of-sight definition 167 (S07), and the determination result is confirmed (S08). The operation content can be defined in a format such as “I should see this area” or “I should not see this area”. If the determination result in step S08 is OK, the process proceeds to the next step in the operation pattern of the line-of-sight definition 167, and loop processing is repeated (S09, S05). If the line-of-sight determination results at all steps in the operation pattern are OK, the loop process is terminated, and the process returns to step S01 to repeat the event detection process.
 一方、ループ処理中のステップS08で判定結果がNGの場合は、ループ処理を終了し、視線の動きが所定の動作パターンを順守していないとして、通知を行う(S10)。通知の手法としては、例えば、運転者に対する音声の出力や、パネル、フロントガラス等に対する警告メッセージの表示・投影など、適当な手段をとることができる。上述したように、運転者への通知に代えて、もしくはこれに加えて、車両運行管理システム200に対して通知を送信したり、近隣の他の車両100に対して車両間通信により通知を送信したりしてもよい。通知を行った後は、ステップS01に戻ってイベント検知の処理を繰り返す。 On the other hand, if the determination result is NG in step S08 during the loop process, the loop process is terminated, and notification is given that the movement of the line of sight does not comply with the predetermined operation pattern (S10). As a notification method, for example, an appropriate means such as voice output to the driver or display / projection of a warning message on the panel, windshield, or the like can be used. As described above, instead of or in addition to the notification to the driver, a notification is transmitted to the vehicle operation management system 200, or a notification is transmitted to other nearby vehicles 100 by inter-vehicle communication. You may do it. After the notification, the process returns to step S01 to repeat the event detection process.
 以上の処理により、運転者が所定の状況で求められる動作パターン(視線の動き)を順守しない場合に警告等を発することで、人為的な事故のリスクを低減させることができる。また、動作パターンを順守している場合には警告等を発しないようにすることで、不要な警告等によって運転動作を煩わす状況を低減させることができる。 By the above processing, it is possible to reduce the risk of human accidents by issuing a warning or the like when the driver does not comply with the operation pattern (gaze movement) required in a predetermined situation. In addition, when the operation pattern is observed, it is possible to reduce a situation in which the driving operation is troubled by an unnecessary warning or the like by not issuing a warning or the like.
 図3は、運転支援システム1における車両100の走行中の安全確認の処理の流れの他の例について概要を示したフローチャートである。ここでは、図2に示した処理フローの変形例として、図2に示した各処理に加えて、車両100において特定のイベントが発生したり特定のステータスになった等により、運転者が所定の動作を行う必要がある状況となった場合に、視線定義167に定義された動作パターンに沿って動作する(本実施の形態では視線を動かす)よう、運転者を誘導する処理を行う。これにより、運転者の視線の動きを所定のパターンに効果的に従わせることができる。 FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an outline of another example of the flow of the safety confirmation process during traveling of the vehicle 100 in the driving support system 1. Here, as a modification of the processing flow shown in FIG. 2, in addition to each processing shown in FIG. 2, a specific event has occurred in the vehicle 100 or a specific status has occurred. In a situation where it is necessary to perform an action, a process of guiding the driver is performed so that the action is performed according to the action pattern defined in the line-of-sight definition 167 (in this embodiment, the line of sight is moved). Thereby, the movement of the driver's line of sight can be made to effectively follow a predetermined pattern.
 図3のステップS11~S15までの各処理は、図2の処理フローのステップS01~S05と同内容であるため、再度の説明は省略する。図3の例では、ステップS15で、視線の動きのパターンのステップ毎に処理を繰り返すループ処理を開始した後、まず、視線監視部165が、対象のステップにおける動作内容(「この領域を見ているべき」もしくは「この領域を見ていてはいけない」等)に基づいて、運転者の視線を正しい位置や対象に誘導するよう通知する(S16)。通知の手法としては、例えば、音声でガイダンスメッセージを出力したり、パネル、フロントガラス等に対する誘導画像の表示・投影など、適当な手段をとることができる。 3 is the same as steps S01 to S05 in the processing flow of FIG. 2, and thus the description thereof will not be repeated. In the example of FIG. 3, in step S15, after starting a loop process that repeats the process for each step of the line-of-sight movement pattern, first, the line-of-sight monitoring unit 165 performs the operation content in the target step (“see this region. The driver's line of sight is instructed to be guided to the correct position and target (S16). As a notification method, for example, an appropriate means such as outputting a guidance message by voice or displaying / projecting a guidance image on a panel, a windshield, or the like can be used.
 その後、図2の処理フローのステップS06~S08と同様に、視点センサ150により取得された視線の情報を取得し(S17)、視線定義167の動作パターンにおける対象のステップでの動作内容を順守しているか否かを判定し(S18)、判定結果を確認する(S19)。判定結果がOKの場合は、図2の処理フローのステップS09と同様に、視線定義167の動作パターンにおける次のステップに移行して、ループ処理を繰り返す(S21、S15)。 Thereafter, similarly to steps S06 to S08 in the processing flow of FIG. 2, the information on the line of sight acquired by the viewpoint sensor 150 is acquired (S17), and the operation content in the target step in the operation pattern of the line of sight definition 167 is observed. (S18), and the determination result is confirmed (S19). If the determination result is OK, the process proceeds to the next step in the operation pattern of the line-of-sight definition 167 as in step S09 of the processing flow of FIG. 2, and loop processing is repeated (S21, S15).
 一方、ステップS19での判定結果がNGの場合は、図2の処理フローのステップS10と同様に、視線の動きが所定の動作パターンを順守していない旨の通知を行う(S20)。図3の例では、図2の例と異なり、動作パターンの不順守を検知した場合に、ループ処理を終了するのではなく、その後、視線定義167の動作パターンにおける次のステップに移行して、ループ処理、すなわち運転者に対する視線の誘導処理を継続する(S21、S15)。なお、動作パターンの不順守を検知した場合に、ループ処理を抜けるか否か、すなわち、視線の誘導処理や動作パターンの順守の監視に係る処理を継続するか否かについては、図2や図3の処理フローの例においていずれも特に限定されず、適当な手段を適宜用いることができる。 On the other hand, if the determination result in step S19 is NG, notification is made that the movement of the line of sight does not comply with the predetermined operation pattern, as in step S10 of the processing flow of FIG. 2 (S20). In the example of FIG. 3, unlike the example of FIG. 2, when non-compliance of the operation pattern is detected, the loop process is not terminated, and then the process proceeds to the next step in the operation pattern of the line-of-sight definition 167. The loop process, that is, the line-of-sight guidance process for the driver is continued (S21, S15). Whether or not to exit the loop process when detecting non-compliance with the motion pattern, that is, whether or not to continue the process related to the gaze guidance process or the monitoring of the motion pattern compliance is shown in FIG. None of the three processing flow examples is particularly limited, and appropriate means can be used as appropriate.
 以上の処理により、運転者が所定の状況で求められる動作パターンを順守するよう誘導することで、所定の動作パターンに効果的に従わせ、人為的な事故のリスクを低減させることができる。 Through the above processing, the driver is guided to comply with the operation pattern required in a predetermined situation, so that the predetermined operation pattern can be effectively followed and the risk of human accidents can be reduced.
