    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a management apparatus that manages settlement devices. The management apparatus manages a first settlement device that performs a settlement for use of a service or purchase of a product and a second settlement device mounted on a vehicle used by a user. The management apparatus comprises one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute following two steps. The first step is permitting the first settlement device to perform a first settlement for the use of the service or the purchase of the product until the user using the service or purchasing the product gets in the vehicle. The second step is permitting at least the second settlement device to perform the first settlement after the user using the service or purchasing the product gets in the vehicle.

    Abstract: A server includes a communication device and a processor. The communication device obtains a power rate unit price dependent on a region where external charging is performed and a time slot when external charging is performed. The processor calculates a first power rate indicating a power rate when the external charging is performed with a first power feeding facility provided at a departure place before departure of a vehicle, calculates a second power rate indicating a power rate when the external charging is performed with a second power feeding facility provided in the vicinity of a traveling route after departure of the vehicle, and when the second power rate is lower than the first power rate, reduces an amount of power feeding during the external charging with the first power feeding facility, as compared with when the second power rate is equal to or higher than the first power rate.

    Abstract: A running mode proposal device for proposing a running mode up to a destination of a vehicle is configured to: select a first running route by a predetermined algorithm unrelated to noncontact power supply; project, when assuming the vehicle runs on a predetermined running route, a value of a parameter relating to an electric energy projected as being supplied at a power supply section on the running route to the vehicle; select a second running route by which a projected supplied electric energy will be greater than a predetermined standard electric energy if the projected value of the parameter when assuming the vehicle runs on the first running route is a value indicating the projected supplied electric energy is less than the standard electric energy; and propose, as the running route, the first running route, and, when the second running route is selected, further proposing a second running route.

    Abstract: A vehicle allocation device for allocating a vehicle in response to a vehicle allocation request from a user terminal, includes a vehicle selector configured to select a vehicle having a relatively small learning amount in a category learnable while a user is driving from a plurality of vehicles learning a relation between input and output of a parameter related to traveling for each predetermined category in response to acquiring the vehicle allocation request, and output a vehicle allocation instruction to the selected vehicle.
