To provide a notification device for an occupant which can notify the occupant to prompt driving of an automatically drivable vehicle without making the occupant feel discomfort when switching automatic driving to manual driving in the vehicle.SOLUTION: An notification device for an occupant 10 comprises a judging part 20, a deciding part 22 and a reproducing part 26. The judging part 20 judges an actuated state of a driving control part 18 that switches between automatic driving and manual driving of a vehicle 12. The deciding part 22 decides music to be produced toward a vehicle interior when the judging part 20 judges that the driving control part 18 switches the automatic driving to the manual driving. The reproducing part 26 reproduces the music decided by the deciding part 22 toward the vehicle interior. Switching of automatic driving of the vehicle 12 to the manual driving is notified to the occupant by music. The music allows the occupant to cognize that the occupant needs to drive. This can make better notification to the occupant without surprising the occupant and making the occupant feel discomfort, in comparison with notification by alarm and voice.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

    【課題】自動運転が可能な車両における自動運転から手動運転への切り替え時に乗員を不快にすることなく乗員へ運転を促す報知を行うことができる乗員報知装置を得る。【解決手段】乗員報知装置10は、判定部20と、決定部22と、再生部26とを有している。判定部20は、車両12の自動運転と手動運転とを切り替える運転制御部18の作動状態を判定している。決定部22は、運転制御部18が自動運転から手動運転への移行を行うと判定部20が判定した場合に、車室内へ流す曲を決定する。再生部26は、決定部22により決定された曲を車室内へ向けて再生する。自動運転中の車両12が手動運転へ切り替わる際は、曲によって乗員へ報知される。これによって、乗員は、曲によって運転をする必要があることを認知できる。したがって、アラームや音声による報知と比べて、乗員を驚かせたり不快にしたりすることなく報知できる。【選択図】図3
