To provide a technique to allow a driver to easily and appropriately grasp which road to travel when there are a plurality of roads in a direction in which a vehicle should make a turn.SOLUTION: A direction indicating device 100 of the present invention comprises: a determination unit 104 that determines a direction in which a vehicle should make a turn from a right turn and a left turn at an intersection; and a state control unit 106 that controls the state of a specific portion of the vehicle so as to change the tactile sense of a driver at a body part of the driver in contact with the vehicle. The determination unit 104 determines whether there are a plurality of roads in the direction in which the vehicle should make a turn at the intersection, and the state control unit 106, when there are a plurality of roads, changes the state so as to transmit a road to travel based on the angle of the turn made by the vehicle toward the direction in which the vehicle should make a turn at the intersection or the order of arrangement of a road to travel of the plurality of roads.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】ターンすべき方向に複数の道路がある場合にどの道路を進行すべきかを適切に把握しやすくする技術を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の方向指示装置100は、交差点において右折又は左折のうち車両がターンすべき方向を判定する判定部104と、運転者の車両に触れている身体部位における前記運転者の触覚を変化させるように車両の特定部分の状態を制御する状態制御部106と、を備え、判定部104は、交差点においてターンすべき方向に複数の道路があるか否かを判定し、状態制御部106は、複数の道路がある場合、交差点においてターンすべき方向に向けて車両がターンする角度又は複数の道路のうち進行すべき道路の配置順に基づいて、進行すべき道路を伝達するように状態を変化させる。【選択図】図2
