GLASS AUTOMATIC THAWING CONTROL DEVICE AND GLASS AUTOMATIC THAWING METHOD

To automatically thaw freeze on an outer side of a glass of a vehicle while suppressing frost of battery power of the vehicle.SOLUTION: A glass automatic thawing control device comprises: a temperature measurement part 20 which measures a temperature outside a vehicle; an own vehicle position acquisition part 40 which acquires a parking position of the vehicle; a reception part 30 which receives meteorological information at the parking position of the vehicle; and a control part 50. The control part 50 determines whether or not an outer side of a glass of the vehicle freezes on the basis of an exterior temperature of the vehicle and a wind velocity included in the meteorological information, and when determining that the outer side of the glass freezes, operates a defroster 80 of the vehicle before a prescribed time of the date and time when the vehicle is to be used.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】車両のバッテリ電力の浪費を抑えつつ、車両のガラスの外側の凍結を自動で解氷する。【解決手段】ガラス自動解氷制御装置は、車両の車外の温度を測定する温度測定部２０、車両の駐車位置を取得する自車位置取得部４０、車両の駐車位置における気象情報を受信する受信部３０、及び、制御部５０を備える。制御部５０は、車両の外部の温度、及び、気象情報に含まれる風速に基づいて、車両のガラスの外側が凍結しているか否かを判断し、ガラスの外側が凍結していると判断した場合、車両を使用する日時の所定時間前に車両のデフロスタ８０を作動させる。【選択図】図１
