Roadside-to-vehicle communication system and driving support system
Disclosed is a roadside-to-vehicle communication system which allows a vehicle, which is traveling within a roadside-to-vehicle communication area, to receive signal information from a roadside device multiple times. The roadside-to-vehicle communication system includes determination means for determining whether or not new information is added to the signal information transmitted from the roadside device, and update means for, only when the determination means determines that the new information is added to the signal information, updating the signal information which is used on the vehicle side. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the processing load on the signal information even when the signal information is received multiple times through roadside-to-vehicle communication.
1. A roadside-to-vehicle communication system which allows a vehicle, which is traveling within a roadside-to-vehicle communication area, to receive signal information from a roadside device multiple times, the roadside-to-vehicle communication system comprising:
determination means for determining whether or not new information is added to the signal information transmitted from the roadside device; and
update means for, only when the determination means determines that the new information is added to the signal information, updating the signal information which is used on the vehicle side
wherein the determination means determines whether or not the new information is added by comparing the number of light color changes included in the signal information transmitted at different times.
2. The roadside-to-vehicle communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the new information is a new signal cycle.
3. The roadside-to-vehicle communication system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the new information is the duration of each light color of a signal.
4. The roadside-to-vehicle communication system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the determination means determines whether or not the new information is added by comparing the number of light colors in which a minimum remaining time and a maximum remaining time of a display remaining time of each light color in the signal information transmitted at different times match each other.
5. A driving support system which, in a roadside-to-vehicle communication system which allows a vehicle traveling within a roadside-to-vehicle communication area to receive signal information from a roadside device multiple times, performs driving support on the basis of the signal information received by the vehicle from the roadside device,
wherein the driving support is performed on the basis of the signal information which is used on the vehicle side and updated by the update means of the roadside-to-vehicle communication system according to claim 1 .
