Abstract: Provided is a driving assistance information generation apparatus that can cause a vehicle to travel so that an abnormality does not occur in a condition of an occupant other than a driver. The driving assistance information generation apparatus includes processing circuitry to: collect occupant condition information of an occupant, other than a driver, of a vehicle being an information collection source, and position information of the vehicle; determine a caution point where an abnormality has occurred in the condition of the occupant, based on the occupant condition information and the position information; store information of the caution point; and output the information of the caution point to a target vehicle being an information providing destination, based on a request from outside. The occupant condition information includes information related to a condition of at least one of a physical condition, a physiological condition, and a mental condition of the occupant.

Abstract: A caution-required feature detector in a projection control apparatus detects a caution-required feature that is a feature with a solid shape that impacts on traveling of a subject vehicle. An optical illusion image generating unit generates an optical illusion image that recalls the solid shape of the caution-required feature. An alert determination unit determines whether alerting the caution-required feature is necessary. A projection controller causes a projector to project the optical illusion image at a position corresponding to a position of the caution-required feature determined as requiring the alert.

Abstract: A travel road determination apparatus includes a vehicle position acquisition unit and a travel road determination unit. The vehicle position acquisition unit acquires position information of a vehicle. In first determination processing, the travel road determination unit determines whether or not the vehicle that is determined to be traveling on a first-type road based on first position information of the vehicle has started traveling on a second-type road, based on second position information of the vehicle and first map data. In second determination processing, the travel road determination unit determines whether or not the vehicle that is determined to be traveling on the second-type road based on third position information of the vehicle has started traveling on the first-type road, based on fourth position information of the vehicle and the second map data.

Abstract: In a peripheral-information determining apparatus, a peripheral-information acquiring unit acquires peripheral information indicating circumstances around a subject vehicle, from a peripheral-information detector that detects the circumstances around the subject vehicle. An intention estimating unit estimates, from person movement information, an intention of a person around the subject vehicle or an instruction of an indicator around the subject vehicle. The person movement information is included in the peripheral information, and is a piece of information that indicates a movement of the person, or a movement of the indicator that imitates a person's movement. A controller controls a travel controller or an outward-notification apparatus on the basis of the peripheral information and an estimated result that is obtained from the intention estimating unit. The travel controller controls the traveling of the subject vehicle. The outward-notification apparatus notifies information to the outside of the subject vehicle.
