Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to determine the demand of a consumer for a product based on a behavior of the consumer that is detected in a moving object and store the result of the determination about the demand into a storage unit with the result of the determination being correlated with the predetermined place, the moving object being configured to autonomously travel based on an operation instruction and move the product or an advertisement for the product to a predetermined place.
Abstract:
A vehicle control device includes a failure detection unit configured to detect a failure of a vehicle, and a vehicle controller configured to control the vehicle. The vehicle controller changes the control of the vehicle depending on a failure level when the failure detection unit detects a failure of an on-vehicle component other than the vehicle control device.
Abstract:
An automatic parking control device includes an electronic control unit. A remaining distance from a first position to a target position is longer than a remaining distance from a second position to the target position. In a case where a braking force increase process is executed at the first position, the electronic control unit delays timing at which the braking force is increased, or reduces an amount by which the braking force is increased, as compared to a case where the braking force increase process is executed at the second position. In a case where a braking force reduction process is executed at the first position, the electronic control unit advances timing at which the braking force is reduced or increases an amount by which the braking force is reduced, as compared to a case where the braking force reduction process is executed at the second position.
Abstract:
A vehicle travel control apparatus having a cruise control function allows a driver to perform an acceptance operation for rendering a set speed coincident with a speed limit when the speed limit is different from the set speed. When the drive can perform the acceptance operation, the vehicle travel control apparatus must inform the driver to that effect. In view of this, when the acceptance operation can be performed, an additional display is provided on a display unit to be located between a display representing the set speed and a display representing the speed limit, to thereby inform the driver that the driver can perform an operation relating to the set speed and the speed limit (i.e., can perform the acceptance operation).
Abstract:
A vehicle's accelerator pedal depression amount is detected; a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle is traveling is determined; a start of a lane change is estimated; an upper-limit speed is determined each time when the speed limit changes; and the travelling speed is controlled to not exceed the upper-limit speed even if the accelerator pedal depression amount increases to cause the speed of the vehicle to exceed the upper-limit speed. The speed of the vehicle is controlled, until a predetermined timing, to not exceed the upper-limit speed determined before the start of a lane change is estimated, if (i) the start of a lane change is estimated, and (ii) a reduction in the speed limit is determined. After the predetermined timing, the speed of the vehicle is controlled to not exceed the currently determined upper-limit speed.
Abstract:
An information processing device executes: identifying a first region where a predetermined module is insufficient in number, the predetermined module being a module that is attachable to and detachable from a movable object; identifying a second region where the predetermined module is superfluous in number; instructing a movable object equipped with the predetermined module in the second region to provide the superfluous predetermined module to a predetermined movable object; instructing the predetermined movable object to cause the predetermined module to be attached in the second region and transport the predetermined module to the first region; and instructing a movable object not equipped with the predetermined module in the first region to receive the predetermined module transported to the first region by the predetermined movable object.
Abstract:
Under a situation where plural vehicles are dispatched to different areas, an information processor acquires sales information that includes information on a sales quantity of a specified product or a specified service by each of the vehicles. Then, on the basis of the acquired sales information, the information processor forecasts a demand for the specified product or the specified service in each of the areas where the vehicles are dispatched. Furthermore, on the basis of the forecasted demand, the information processor determines a redispatch area that is an area where each of the plural vehicles is redispatched, and sends a move command for moving each of the plural vehicles to the respective redispatch area to each of the plural vehicles.
Abstract:
A vehicle that is able to travel autonomously includes a control unit configured to perform: stopping a first service and executing a second service of emergency support when the emergency has occurred during execution of the first service; and executing movement to a predetermined position associated with the second service. An information processing device includes a control unit configured to perform: detecting occurrence of an emergency; and instructing a vehicle, which is able to travel autonomously and which is located in a predetermined range including an area in which the emergency has occurred, to stop a first service which is being executed and to execute a second service of emergency support.
Abstract:
A vehicle includes a communication unit configured to receive identification information for notification set for a user, an outside-vehicle notification unit configured to perform notification to the surrounding of the vehicle, and a controller configured to make the outside-vehicle notification unit perform notification of the identification information for notification to the surrounding of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes a positioning unit configured to measure a position of the vehicle. The communication unit is configured to further receive a predicted boarding position of the user to the vehicle. The controller is configured to, in a case where the measured position of the vehicle is included within a predetermined range from the predicted boarding position of the user, makes the outside-vehicle notification unit perform the notification of the identification information for notification to the surrounding of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A seat determining apparatus includes a travel route determining unit configured to determine a travel route of a vehicle such that the travel route runs by way of a scheduled boarding point and scheduled alighting point of each of a plurality of users scheduled to ride the vehicle, the scheduled boarding point being a point at which the user is scheduled to get on the vehicle, the scheduled alighting point being a point at which the user is scheduled to get off the vehicle; a boarding and alighting order determining unit configured to determine alighting order, in which the users get off the vehicle, based on the travel route and the scheduled alighting point of each of the users; and a seat determining unit configured to determine a seat according to the alighting order for each of the users when each of the users rides the vehicle.
