Abstract: A mass transportation vehicle includes a stop selector and a dispatcher. The stop selector is configured to enable a passenger on the mass transportation vehicle to select a destination stop at which the passenger plans to get off. The dispatcher is configured to book dispatch of an autonomous vehicle to which the passenger transfers after getting off the mass transportation vehicle at the destination stop. The dispatcher sends information about the destination stop to a dispatch management device of the autonomous vehicle as information about a waiting point of the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: There is provided a technology that can improve the convenience of users of vehicles. When receiving a vehicle dispatch request containing information designating kitchen equipment and food materials, an information processing apparatus disclosed determines a first unit provided with the kitchen equipment designated by the vehicle dispatch request and a second unit capable of storing the food materials designated by the vehicle dispatch request. The information processing apparatus sends a composition command to a specific composition site. The composition command is a command to compose a vehicle body unit including the first unit and the second unit. Moreover, the information processing apparatus sends an operation command to a chassis unit. The operation command is a command to cause the chassis unit to travel with the vehicle body unit composed at the specific composition site mounted thereon.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle allows passengers to transfer from a passenger vehicle, which is a relatively large vehicle, to the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle is provided with an autonomous travel control unit (steering control unit) configured to, when the passenger vehicle is stopped, cause the autonomous vehicle to pull up alongside the passenger vehicle such that an entrance (second entrance) of the autonomous vehicle is placed next to an entrance (first entrance) of the passenger vehicle.

Abstract: The management device of an autonomous driving vehicle includes a congestion rate calculation unit and a waiting place setting unit. The congestion rate calculation unit is able to calculate the congestion rate of a parking lot adjoining each of a plurality of commercial facilities. In a case where the congestion rate of a neighbor parking lot, or a parking lot in the neighborhood of a boarding place contained in reservation information for an autonomous driving vehicle reserved for dispatch, during a waiting time period before the scheduled boarding time, is less than a congestion threshold, the waiting place setting unit sets the neighbor parking lot as a waiting place for the autonomous driving vehicle to wait during the waiting time period.
