September 3, 2025
A notification device (1), provided on a vehicle (2) performing an evacuation or an emergency stop when a failure occurs, includes an optical notification unit (14, 14a-14j) provided on the vehicle (2) and configured to emit light toward an outside of the vehicle (2), a notification direction specifying unit (12) configured to specify a notification direction (nd1-nd4) based on a current vehicle location or a scheduled stop location (SP1) of the vehicle and map information or an external environment of the vehicle, wherein the notification direction (nd1-nd4) is a direction in which notification is performed using the optical notification unit (14, 14a-14j) when the failure occurs, and an optical notification control unit (13) configured to perform a failure notification control of the optical notification unit (14, 14a-14j) when the failure occurs. The optical notification control unit (13) controls the optical notification unit (14, 14a-14j) such that the notification toward directions other than the notification direction is suppressed as compared with the notification toward the notification direction (nd1-nd4).
