Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A driving control system in which a server apparatus controls an operation of a vehicle via a telecommunication network. The server apparatus includes a controller configured to determine whether a condition for raising a degree of accuracy in detecting a wild animal in an area around the vehicle is satisfied, and to raise the degree of accuracy in detecting the wild animal by controlling a detection device included in the vehicle at a timing when the condition is satisfied.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A driving control system in which a server apparatus controls an operation of a vehicle via a telecommunication network, wherein the server apparatus includes a controller configured to: determine whether a condition for raising a degree of accuracy in detecting a wild animal in an area around the vehicle is satisfied, and in response to the condition being satisfied, control a detection device included in the vehicle to raise the degree of accuracy of the detection device in detecting the wild animal. 2. The driving control system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to raise the degree of accuracy of the detection device in detecting the wild animal when a current time falls within time of day in which the wild animal is likely to appear. 3. The driving control system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to raise the degree of accuracy of the detection device in detecting the wild animal when a caution sign for the wild animal is detected near the vehicle. 4. The driving control system according to claim 1 , wherein the detection device is an image-capturing device configured to capture an image of surroundings of the vehicle, and the controller is configured to raise the degree of accuracy of the detection device in detecting the wild animal by increasing a resolution of the image-capturing device.
