A server device includes: a server communication unit configured to communicate with a vehicle, and receive fallen object avoidance information from the vehicle, the fallen object avoidance information including position information on a fallen object and information indicating whether an avoidance operation was performed by the vehicle for the fallen object; and a server control unit configured to determine, for the same fallen object that is present at the same position, whether the same fallen object should be avoided based on the fallen object avoidance information, and notify a first following vehicle that the same fallen object should be avoided when the server control unit determines that the same fallen object should be avoided, the first following vehicle being a vehicle that is traveling within a predetermined range behind the same fallen object.

Server device and vehicle

A server includes a server communication unit, a server control unit, and a server storage unit, and is connected in a communicable manner to a first vehicle and a second vehicle via the server communication unit. The server control unit transmits an imaging start command to the second vehicle, which runs within a predetermined range from an accident site, in response to the reception of an accident notification associated with positional information on the accident site from the first vehicle, receives an imaged image from the second vehicle, and stores the imaged image into the server storage unit.

Server, server control method, server control program, vehicle, vehicle control method, and vehicle control program

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.

Information processing device, information processing method and information processing program

A control section of a server apparatus as an information processing apparatus in the disclosure executes: inquiring of a terminal of a user who desires to board a self-driving vehicle operating for pickup-delivery of an item, whether or not the user is able to handle work of pickup-delivery of the item at a pickup-delivery location between the self-driving vehicle and a pickup-delivery service user; and when a response indicating that the user is able to handle the work of pickup-delivery when the user is on board the self-driving vehicle is received from the terminal, transmitting to the self-driving vehicle an instruction to allow the user who desires to board and is able to handle the work of pickup-delivery to board the self-driving vehicle.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

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.

System information processing apparatus and information processing method

The present disclosure relates to an autonomous traveling vehicle having a loading space for loading a package and/or a user. The autonomous traveling vehicle includes: a partition apparatus for performing switching between a partitioned state where the loading space is partitioned into a plurality of spaces separated from each other and a communicating state where the loading space forms one continuous space; and a control unit that controls the partition apparatus such that the loading space is brought into the communicating state when only any one of the package and the user is loaded in the loading space and the loading space is brought into the partitioned state when both of the package and the user are loaded in the loading space.

Autonomous traveling vehicle

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.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and information processing program

A server includes a server controller, a server communication unit, and a server storage unit, and is adapted to be connected to a communication terminal via the server communication unit. The server controller stores a video taken by a vehicle during traveling, in the server storage unit, such that the video is associated with a road on which the vehicle is traveling, determines a scheduled traveling route, in response to a request from the communication terminal, obtains the video corresponding to each of one or more roads that constitute the scheduled traveling route, from the server storage unit, and sends the video to the communication terminal, on which the video is displayed.

Server, server control method, server control program, communication terminal, terminal control method, and terminal control program

An in-vehicle device includes a control unit, a storage unit configured to store features of each subject that is a person, and an image capturing unit. The control unit obtains an image captured by the image capturing unit, detects a subject in the obtained image based on the features stored in the storage unit, recognizes a behavior of the detected subject from the obtained image, and stores the detected subject and the recognized behavior in association with each other.

In-vehicle device, control method, program, and vehicle

An information processing system S includes a server device, and an information processing device communicable with the server device. The information processing device is configured to acquire a plurality of images imaged by an imaging device included in a vehicle, and output to the server device, when detecting a change from a non-rainfall state to a rainfall state, or a change from the rainfall state to the non-rainfall state based on the acquired images, location information regarding the vehicle when the change is detected.

Information processing system, method of information processing, and program

A vehicle includes a communication unit, a storage unit, a control unit, and an image capturing unit. The vehicle is configured to be communicable with a different vehicle via the communication unit. The control unit is configured to acquire a captured image from the image capturing unit and store the captured image in the storage unit. The control unit is configured to receive, from the different vehicle that is an oncoming vehicle, a determined result as to whether the different vehicle is able to pass. The control unit is configured to determine whether the vehicle is able to pass based on a width of the vehicle and an available road width ahead, determined from the captured image.
