Abstract

An information output device includes: an event detection unit that detects an event occurring inside or outside a vehicle; a member identification unit that identifies a person or persons who can perceive the event as a first member; an event storage unit that stores event data related to the detected event in association with the first members; and a data output unit that automatically outputs the event data stored in the event storage unit. The member identification unit identifies a person or persons who can view the event data outputted from the data output unit as a second member. The information output device further comprises an output control unit that determines whether the second members include persons other than the first members, and that prohibits the data output unit from automatically outputting the event data upon determining the second members include persons other than the first members.

Abstract

An occlusion is identified in a vehicle transportation network. A visibility grid is identified on a second side of the occlusion for a vehicle that is on a first side of the occlusion. The visibility grid is identified with respect to a region of interest that is at least a predefined distance above ground. The visibility grid is used to identify first portions of roads sensed by a sensor positioned on the vehicle and second portions of the roads that are not sensed by the sensor. A driving behavior of the vehicle is altered based on the visibility grid.
