    Abstract: A charging control method of the present disclosure is a charging control method for controlling charging of a battery of each vehicle in a plurality of vehicles, each vehicle traveling along a predetermined route in accordance with an operation schedule and then sequentially switching with another vehicle and charging the battery for subsequent travel. The charging control method includes measuring an environmental temperature at which charging is to be performed, determining a first state of charge, at which charging is to end, based on the measured environmental temperature, and charging the battery of the vehicle to be charged to the first state of charge. Furthermore, the first state of charge when the environmental temperature is a second temperature lower than a first temperature is determined to be lower than the first state of charge when the environmental temperature is the first temperature.

    Abstract: An operation management apparatus includes: a plan generator that generates a travel plane for each of a plurality of vehicles which form a vehicle line and which travel autonomously along a prescribed travel path; a communication device that transmits the travel plan to a corresponding vehicle; and a judging unit that judges necessity of an addition of a vehicle to the vehicle line and an elimination of a vehicle from the vehicle line. When it is judged that the addition of the vehicle is necessary, the plan generator determines a position of addition of a new vehicle in the vehicle line based on at least one of travel information and passenger information transmitted from each of the plurality of vehicles, and generates a travel plan for adding the new vehicle at the position of addition.

    Abstract: An operation management apparatus includes: a plan generator that generates a travel plan for each of a plurality of vehicles which form a vehicle line and which travel autonomously along a prescribed travel path; a communication device that transmits the travel plan to a corresponding vehicle; and a judging unit that judges necessity of addition of a vehicle to the vehicle line and elimination of a vehicle from the vehicle line. When it is judged that the addition or the elimination of the vehicle is necessary, the plan generator generates a travel plan in which a reference vehicle, which is one of the vehicles, is caused to travel at a first scheduled velocity, and generates a travel plan in which each of vehicles other than the reference vehicle is caused to travel at a scheduled velocity which is temporarily increased or temporarily decreased from the first scheduled velocity.

    Abstract: An information processing apparatus encourages passengers to practice distributed boarding to enable smooth operation of vehicles. The information processing apparatus includes a controller. The controller is configured to acquire information indicating a boarding status of passengers at a stop when it is judged that a preceding vehicle has arrived at the stop, generate notification information to encourage passengers who have not boarded the preceding vehicle to practice distributed boarding onto a subsequent vehicle when it is judged that the boarding status satisfies a predetermined condition based on the acquired information, and provide the generated notification information to the preceding vehicle and/or the stop.

    Abstract: An operation management method for a plurality of circulating buses, each circulating bus being introduced into a circulation route from a base and returning to the base to be switched with another circulating bus after traveling a specified number of laps, includes storing, by a server, an operation schedule of the plurality of circulating buses, monitoring, by the server, a status of the plurality of circulating buses, judging, by the server, whether a first circulating bus traveling on the circulation route is on a final lap in the specified number of laps when the first circulating bus passes a second circulating bus traveling on the circulation route, and revising, by the server, the operation schedule to increase the number of circulating buses by introducing a third circulating bus into the circulation route from the base when it is judged that the first circulating bus is on the final lap.
