    摘要: A method for managing a parking lot is provided. The method includes: capturing, by a first video camera, an image of a vehicle; determining whether the image satisfies a condition; raising a first barrier when the image satisfies the condition; detecting whether there is only the one vehicle between the first barrier and a second barrier; and raising the second barrier to enable the vehicle to enter or leave the parking lot when detecting that there is only the one vehicle between the first barrier and the second barrier.

    摘要: A vehicle management system for managing vehicles used by users has a usage managing unit that accepts a user's request for using the vehicle and to set a return space among parking spaces as a planned return space when the user's request is accepted, the return space being a space to which the vehicle is to be returned by the user after the vehicle is used by the user, a return determining unit that determines whether or not the vehicle is returned to the planned return space set by the usage managing unit when the vehicle is actually used and returned by the user, a return permitting unit that permits a return of the vehicle in a case where the return determining unit determines that the vehicle is returned to the planned return space, and a notification unit.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a road traffic condition estimation system includes a storage, an inter-vehicle distance estimator, a vehicle density estimator, and a traffic flow rate estimator. The storage stores a speed and inter-vehicle distance table representing a relationship between vehicle speeds and inter-vehicle distances. The inter-vehicle distance estimator acquires a representative value of speeds of vehicles traveling on a given section of a road, and estimates a representative value of inter-vehicle distances on the section on the basis of the representative value of the speeds and the speed and inter-vehicle distance table. The vehicle density estimator estimates a vehicle density on the section on the basis of the estimated representative value of the inter-vehicle distances and a length of the section. The traffic flow rate estimator estimates a traffic flow rate on the section on the basis of the representative value of the speeds and the estimated vehicle density.
