IN-VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An in-vehicle control apparatus that performs monitoring of a state of a driver in a vehicle and controls behavior of the vehicle based on the monitoring to perform a hazard avoidance process,the in-vehicle control apparatus comprising:
- an anomaly determination section that determines whether a driver is under driving inability state where the drive is unable to drive during travel of the vehicle, based on information on the monitoring of the state of the driver;
an alarm control section that activates an alarm annunciator to issue an alarm outwardly from the vehicle when the anomaly determination section determines that the driver is under driving inability state; and
a hazard avoidance control section that, after the alarm annunciator starts the alarm outwardly from the vehicle,fails to perform the hazard avoidance process when the alarm is stopped by a manipulation of the driver andperforms the hazard avoidance process when a specified time elapses under state where the alarm is not stopped since the starting of the alarm.

Abstract
An in-vehicle control apparatus performs a hazard avoidance process. The in-vehicle control apparatus includes an anomaly determination section, an alarm control section, and a hazard avoidance control section. The anomaly determination section determines whether a driver is under driving inability state during travel of the vehicle, based on information on monitoring of state of the driver. The alarm control section activates an alarm annunciator to issue an alarm outwardly from the vehicle when the driver is determined to be under driving inability state. After the alarm annunciator starts the alarm, the hazard avoidance control section fails to perform the hazard avoidance process when the alarm is stopped by a manipulation of the driver and performs the hazard avoidance process when a specified time elapses under state where the alarm is not stopped since the starting of the alarm.
