Abstract: Provided is a system including: a first vehicle equipped with a land mobile station for mobile communication; and a second vehicle that transports the first vehicle and a user holding a terminal for mobile communication. The system further includes a control unit configured to acquire radio wave intensity of the mobile communication at a current location of the second vehicle, and generate, when the acquired radio wave intensity is less than a predetermined intensity, a command to unload the first vehicle from the second vehicle; and generating a command to relay the mobile communication by the land mobile station of the first vehicle.

Abstract: A matching system that matches a first vehicle requiring substitution when being at least either loaded into or unloaded from a parking place and a remote driver driving the first vehicle as a substitute through remote operation includes a terminal and a server. The terminal transmits substitution request information to the server. The server that has received the request information transmits waiting time information to the terminal. The terminal notifies a user or a staff of the received waiting time information, accepts a waiting time information approval or additional fee payment instructions, and settles the additional fee through cooperation with the server, upon receiving the payment instructions. The server changes the turn of the first vehicle in a queue for the remote operation service such that the first vehicle is prioritized more than a second vehicle that has not paid the additional fee, upon completing the additional fee settlement.

Abstract: The disclosure is an information processing device that manages an operation of an autonomous vehicle having a loading space in which a parcel is loaded. The information processing device includes a control unit that executes: acquiring operation plan information including a route along which the autonomous vehicle travels when the autonomous vehicle delivers the parcel, and a delivery time for the parcel; and acquiring vacant space information based on the operation plan information, the vacant space information including a traveling section where a vacant space is generated in the loading space of the autonomous vehicle, a time when the vacant space is generated in the loading space of the autonomous vehicle, and the size of the vacant space that is generated in the loading space of the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: A remote driving taxi system provides a mobility service using remote driving taxis that are driven by remote drivers. Each of the remote driving taxis includes a display lamp configured to indicate whether the remote driving taxi is currently available. Management information includes use states of the remote driving taxis and assignment states between the remote driving taxis and the remote drivers. The remote driving taxi system puts on the display lamp of the remote driving taxi to which the remote driver has already been assigned and that is currently available, based on the management information. Further, the remote driving taxi system puts off the display lamp of the remote driving taxi to which the remote driver has already been assigned and that is currently unavailable, based on the management information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus manages operation of an autonomous vehicle that delivers a package. The information processing apparatus includes a control section that before the autonomous vehicle arrives at a basic delivery destination that is an original delivery destination of the package, acquires a location, at a planned delivery time of the package, of a user that receives the package, and where the location is different from the basic delivery destination, transmits an instruction for delivering the package to the location to the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: A remote driving taxi system provides a mobility service using remote driving taxis that are driven by remote drivers. Management information indicates assignment states between the remote driving taxis and the remote drivers. The remote driving taxi system executes an assignment process based on the management information, in response to a request from a user. Specifically, the remote driving taxi system selects one of unassigned taxis to each of which the remote driver has not been assigned, as a first remote driving taxi that provides the service to the user. Further, the remote driving taxi system selects one of remote drivers each of which has not been assigned to the remote driving taxi, as a first remote driver that provides the service to the user. Then, the remote driving taxi system assigns the first remote driver to the first remote driving taxi.
