PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To grasp a state of a driver and promote safe driving on the basis of the grasped state.SOLUTION: A body surface temperature at a plurality of locations including a drivers face is acquired. Then, on the basis of the body surface temperature acquired from the plurality of locations, a psychological state of the driver is determined, and driving support according to the psychological state of the driver is performed. The psychological state of the driver appears in a distribution of body surface temperature. Therefore, as described above, it is possible to determine the psychological state of the driver on the basis of the body surface temperatures of a plurality of locations including the drivers face, and on the basis of the determination result, driving support corresponding to the drivers psychological state is available.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPO&INPIT【課題】運転者の状態を把握し、その把握した状態に基づいて安全な運転を促進する。【解決手段】運転者の顔面を含んだ複数箇所の体表面温度を取得する。そして、その複数箇所から取得した体表面温度に基づいて、運転者の心理状態を判定し、運転者の心理状態に応じた運転支援をする。運転者の心理状態は、体表面温度の分布に表れる。このため、上述したように、運転者の顔面を含んだ複数箇所の体表面温度に基づいて、運転者の心理状態を判定することができ、その判定結果に基づいて、運転者の心理状態に応じた運転支援が可能となる。【選択図】図10
