DRIVING SUPPORT METHOD FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE, AND DRIVING SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE

摘要

To support the driving of an emergency vehicle using an automatic-driving vehicle at the time of emergency.SOLUTION: A driving support method for an ambulance 2 includes first to third steps. The first step is a step (S130) in which a server 30 acquires the estimated arrival time of the ambulance 2 at an intersection that can be an obstacle to an emergency driving of the ambulance 2 on the scheduled driving route of the ambulance 2. The second step is a step (S240) in which the server 30 acquires the estimated arrival time of a vehicle 1 at the intersection, when positional information received from the vehicle 1 indicates that the vehicle 1 is located in the peripheral area of the scheduled driving route. The third step is a step (S150) in which the server 30 transmits a control command R1 to the vehicle 1 so that the vehicle 1 goes to the intersection to restrict a vehicle 4 other than the ambulance 2 at the intersection from entering the intersection, when the estimated arrival time of the vehicle 1 is earlier than the estimated arrival time of the ambulance 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
