Title:
DRIVING MODE SWITCHING CONTROL DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/070064
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to enable proper driving mode switching control even if failures occur in the function of monitoring the state of a driver, and the following measures are taken to achieve this. If it is determined that a driver camera 7 is malfunctioning during travel control in an autonomous driving mode, firstly, it is determined whether or not the driver, just before the point in time that the driver camera 7 was determined as malfunctioning, was ready for manual driving. If it is determined that the driver was ready for manual driving, a forced-switching signal for switching the autonomous driving mode to the manual driving mode is output. If it is determined that the driver was not ready for manual driving, the autonomous driving mode is maintained, and it is determined whether or not the driver has returned to a state of being ready for manual driving on the basis of a detection signal from a torque sensor 8. Upon confirming that the driver is ready for manual driving, the forced-switching signal is output.
