An automatic parking lot management system includes an infrastructure sensor for detecting a preset range in a parking lot. A mobile body including a peripheral detection sensor is used, and the mobile body is able to be moved to a detectable position at which the peripheral detection sensor of the mobile body is able to detect a detection range of the infrastructure sensor. When determination is made that there is an abnormality in the infrastructure sensor, the mobile body is moved to the detectable position to cause the peripheral detection sensor to detect the detection range of the infrastructure sensor.

A parking management device includes: a data acquiring unit configured to acquire user identification data for identifying the position of a user moving in a parking lot; a movement route estimating unit configured to estimate a movement route based on the user identification data acquired by the data acquiring unit, the movement route being a route along which the user moves in the parking lot; and a running route deciding unit configured to decide a running route of a vehicle so as to avoid the movement route estimated by the movement route estimating unit, the vehicle being a vehicle running in the parking lot.

Parking management device, vehicle, and parking lot management method

An intersection control system includes: a storage storing multiple pieces of intersection control information that are different from each other, each piece of the intersection control information including multiple pieces of permitted trajectory information each of which indicates a permitted travel trajectory that a vehicle is permitted to follow, and a plurality of the travel trajectories not interfering with each other; and one or more processors configured to acquire multiple pieces of travel trajectory information each of which indicates a travel trajectory that each of a plurality of the vehicles located near the intersection follows when passing through the intersection, select a piece of the intersection control information that matches the pieces of the travel trajectory information from among the pieces of the intersection control information, and send the selected piece of the intersection control information to the vehicles located near the intersection.

Intersection control system, intersection control method, and non-transitory storage medium

An open vehicle includes a vehicle upper portion, a traveling device, an external sensor, and an ECU. The vehicle upper portion has a riding surface that forms a bottom surface of the riding space and is configured for a plurality of users to ride on. The ECU is configured to control the traveling device to cause the open vehicle to automatically travel. The ECU is configured to execute: a specific person recognition process to use the external sensor to recognize a specific person existing in an outside space; and an automatic travel control process to control the traveling device such that, when the specific person exists within a predetermined distance range, the traveling device executes at least one of moving the open vehicle away from the specific person and increasing a vehicle speed as compared to when the specific person does not exist within the range.

Open vehicle and operation management system thereof

An information processing device includes: an data acquisition unit that acquires sensor data of an infrastructure sensor; an object information generation unit that generates object information based on the sensor data; a detection range estimation unit that estimates an object detection range based on at least partial information constituting the object information; an intersection determination unit that determines whether the objects intersect with each other within a predetermined time based on at least partial information constituting the object information; and a signal output unit that outputs an intersection avoidance signal when a position of a second object is outside the object detection range of a first object or when the position of the first object is outside the object detection range of the second object.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

A stand-up vehicle includes a vehicle upper portion, a handrail, one or more biometric information sensors, and one or more processors. The vehicle upper portion has a riding surface on which a user stands. The handrail is provided at an upper portion of the vehicle and is gripped by a user. The one or more biometric information sensors are at least one of a sensor provided on a handrail and a weight sensor provided below a riding surface and having the riding surface as a weight detection surface, and detect biometric information of the user. The one or more processors perform notification processing for notifying a user of biometric information detected by the one or more biometric information sensors.

Stand-up vehicle

In a stand-up vehicle having a vehicle upper part having a riding surface configured for a user to stand on, one or more electronic control units execute emergency situation detection processing for detecting an emergency of the user when receiving notification from the user or based on information from one or more sensors, safety posture determination processing for determining whether or not the user takes a safety posture based on information from one or more sensors after detecting the emergency, and upper limit speed management processing executed when detecting the emergency and determining that the user takes the safety posture. The upper limit speed management process increases the upper limit speed to be higher than the basic upper limit speed selected when the safety posture determination process determines that the user is not in the safety posture, or cancels the upper limit speed.

An automatic traveling vehicle includes a vehicle structure including a first top plate, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to execute a storage mode when a storage execution condition is satisfied. The storage mode includes a storage posture formation process of causing the vehicle to automatically travel so as to take a predetermined storage posture together with a counterpart automatic traveling vehicle. In the storage posture, the vehicle is in a superposition state in which the vehicle overlaps with the counterpart vehicle in a plan view, or a parallel state in which the vehicle is lined up with the counterpart vehicle while the first top plate and a second top plate of the counterpart vehicle are standing and facing each other so as to be parallel to or substantially parallel to a vertical direction.

An automatic parking system includes an infrastructure sensor that is able to detect a state of a parking lot. A blind spot area that does not allow the state of the parking lot to be detected by the infrastructure sensor is identified in the parking lot, and the state of the parking including the blind spot area, the state of the parking lot being detected by an on-board sensor of a vehicle in the parking lot, is acquired. Based on the state of the parking lot detected by the infrastructure sensor and the state of the parking lot that includes the blind spot area and that is detected by the on-board sensor of the vehicle in the parking lot, a travel route for the vehicle traveling in the parking lot is generated.
