Abstract: An autonomous vehicle which transports a user through autonomous driving, having: a body temperature sensor that detects a body temperature of the user; in-cabin signage attached in a vehicle cabin; and a sanitation controller that adjusts a sanitation state in the vehicle cabin. When the body temperature of the user detected by the body temperature sensor is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, the sanitation controller causes the in-cabin signage to display a sanitation caution message.

Abstract: A vehicle heat management device includes a first circulator section, a second circulator section, and a flow rate change section. The first circulator section is provided at a first flow path of a first circulation path, and circulates a first heat exchange medium in the first circulation path, the first flow path passing a first heat exchanger, a second flow path passing a first expansion valve and a second heat exchanger, a third flow path passing a second expansion valve and a heat absorption section. The second circulator section circulates a second heat exchange medium in a second circulation path configured by a fourth flow path passing a heat generating body, a fifth flow path passing a radiator, and a sixth flow path passing a heat dissipating section and the first heat exchanger. The flow rate change section increases a flow rate of the second heat exchange medium.

Abstract: An operation management server manages a vehicle equipped with a battery able to store regenerated electric power. The operation management server includes: a processor that generates a message to be transmitted to the vehicle; and a storage that stores traveling histories of a plurality of vehicles. The processor estimates a transition in a power storage amount of the battery on a planned travel route of the vehicle based on a travel plan of the vehicle and the travel histories of the vehicles. The processor generates the message for proposing execution of external power supply from the battery to an outside of the vehicle before the power storage amount reaches a predetermined amount, when an estimation is made that the power storage amount will exceed the predetermined amount on the planned travel route.

Abstract: A server manages power balancing resources electrically connected to a power network. The server includes a processor. In response to receipt of input of a travel schedule including a date and time of travel, a departure point, and a destination point from a user of the vehicle, the processor predicts a power supply and demand balance on the power network for the date and time of travel, based on power supply and demand performance information of the power network. In response to prediction that the power supply and demand balance is going to be adjusted on the date and time of travel, the processor provides the user suggestion to keep the vehicle connected to the power equipment on the date and time of travel and a reward for the vehicle responding to a request to adjust the power supply and demand balance.

Abstract: An electrified vehicle charging device includes a main body and a charging connection unit. The charging connection unit includes a charging connection part that is attachable to and detachable from the main body, a charging connector that is attachable to and detachable from electrified vehicle, and a charging cable that connects the charging connection part and the charging connector. The charging connection unit includes a circuit for outputting a charging method signal indicating a charging method. When the charging connection part is connected to the main body, the main body receives the charging method signal from the charging connection unit, and supplies power to the charging connection unit in a charging method corresponding to the received charging method signal.

Abstract: A power management apparatus includes a communication unit (acquisition unit) that acquires information about supply and demand of electric power for a power bank (power storage device), and a processor (controller) that controls electric power received by an electric vehicle from the power bank. The processor sets a power exchange ratio of electric power received from the power bank to electric power supplied to the power bank, depending on the supply and demand of electric power. The processor determines an amount of electric power to be received by the electric vehicle from the power bank, based on an amount of electric power supplied from the electric vehicle to the power bank, and the power exchange ratio.

Abstract: A management apparatus is configured to adjust an upper limit amount of electric power for charging. The management apparatus may be provided in an electric vehicle or a charging apparatus. The management apparatus may include a dial for adjusting the upper limit amount of electric power, and a user may be able to adjust the upper limit amount of electric power by operating the dial. A user who drives 300 km per week for commute may set the amount of electric power corresponding to 300 km (plus extra travel distance) for the upper limit amount of electric power. The user may connect a battery to the charging apparatus on weekends. When the battery has a capacity to store the amount of electric power corresponding to, for example, 500 km, the management apparatus may stop charging when the battery is charged with the set upper limit amount of electric power.

Abstract: A charging system for an electric vehicle disclosed herein may include a charger and a monitoring device. The monitoring device may be configured to output a warning message urging a person to return to a charging area in which the charger is connected to the electric vehicle when detecting the person has left the charging area after the charger started charging the electric vehicle. This charging system may be configured to output the warning message to urge the person to return to the charging area when detecting the person has left the charging area after the charger started charging the electric vehicle. Outputting such a first message may allow the electric vehicle to leave the charging area soon after charging has been completed.
