Notification control device, vehicle, notification control method, and program

By incorporating dual recognition components—map data and camera data—in the driver assistance system and notifying the decelerating object in different ways on the display device, the problem of the driver being unable to identify the decelerating object is solved, thus improving driving safety.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In driver assistance systems, drivers cannot accurately distinguish whether the deceleration target is a traffic light detected based on map data or a traffic light identified by a camera, leading to safety risks.

Method used

By setting up two recognition components in the driver assistance system, one identifies traffic lights based on map data and the other identifies the color of the traffic lights based on a camera, and then notifies the driver of the specific status of the object to be slowed down in different ways on the display device, such as by displaying images of traffic lights of different colors or sound prompts.

Benefits of technology

Drivers can accurately identify whether a decelerating object is a traffic light detected by map data or a traffic light identified by a camera, thereby improving driving safety and reducing safety risks caused by misjudgment.

Abstract

The present disclosure enables a driver to grasp a recognition target of deceleration control. A notification control device is for controlling a notification device that notifies a driver in a vehicle equipped with a drive assist device that has: a first recognition section that recognizes a signal light present in front of the vehicle based on map data; a second recognition section that recognizes an indication state of the signal light present in front of the vehicle; and a deceleration control section that executes deceleration control that decelerates the vehicle with the signal light recognized by at least one of the first recognition section or the second recognition section as a deceleration target. The notification control device has a control section that controls the notification device to cause the notification device to notify the driver of the deceleration target of the deceleration control in different manners in a case where the deceleration control section executes deceleration control with the signal light recognized by the first recognition section as the deceleration target and in a case where the deceleration control section executes deceleration control with the signal light recognized by the second recognition section as the deceleration target.
