Abstract:
A valid cars determining unit determines the number of valid cars of each train such that a passenger transport volume per unit time of a plurality of trains is not less than a necessary transport volume and the total number of valid cars is minimized when the plurality of trains run with a predetermined number of operational cars per unit time. A control information generating unit generates control information for performing control which causes trains having valid cars corresponding to the number of valid cars determined by the valid cars determining unit to operate at a predetermined interval.
Abstract:
A vibration suppression system for a loading vehicle includes: a sensor configured to detect a parameter indicating acceleration along a vertical direction of a load handling apparatus or of a vehicle main body of the loading vehicle; a vibration control force generating apparatus configured to apply a vibration control force for suppressing vibration of the loading vehicle; and a controller configured to generate a feedback command to be issued to the vibration control force generating apparatus based on a detection value of the sensor.
Abstract:
An operating mode determining unit determines an operating mode of each of a plurality of vehicles to be either one of a normal operating mode and an energy saving mode on the basis of a necessary boarding and alighting time which is required to allow passengers to board or alight from the vehicles at each of a plurality of stations. An index value specifying unit specifies an index value on the basis of total energy consumption when the vehicles operate in the operating mode determined by the operating mode determining unit, a difference between the necessary boarding and alighting time and a boarding and alighting time, or the number of changing times of operating modes. An operating plan determining unit determines the operating mode of each of the vehicles to be an operating mode having a smallest index value.

Abstract:
A movable object position determining unit of a control device for a movable object is configured to determine whether a current position of the movable object is separated a predetermined distance or more from a transit point which is a junction between a valid movement track and a candidate movement track. A change processing unit is configured to change the candidate movement track as a new valid movement track when it is determined that the current position of the movable object is separated the predetermined distance or more from the transit point as the junction.
