A stage has a takeoff and landing surface. The takeoff and landing surface has an opening through which loading and unloading to and from a flying object is carried out. The takeoff and landing surface has a plurality of markers formed thereon. Each marker is a figure or the like for identifying a relative position between the flying object and the stage. The opening is formed in the takeoff and landing surface such that an edge of the opening does not cross the markers.

Takeoff and landing assist apparatus

An autonomous delivery box includes a first memory, a first processor coupled to the first memory, and a delivery box configured to house a package. The autonomous delivery box is configured to travel autonomously between a dispatch base from which the package is dispatched and a handover location at which the package is handed over. The first processor is configured to authenticate opening permission for a door of the delivery box, and to control whether or not the autonomous delivery box is permitted to travel such that the autonomous delivery box is not permitted to travel in a case in which a travel-permitting condition of the autonomous delivery box has not been satisfied at the handover location.

A vehicle control device includes a sleep depth estimation unit that estimates a sleep depth of an occupant seated in a seat provided in a vehicle, and a control unit that controls the vehicle such that a magnitude of the external force to be applied to at least one of a plurality of the occupants is equal to or less than a first threshold value when the estimated sleep depth of the occupant is equal to or lower than a predetermined reference depth or when the occupant is awake, and that controls the vehicle such that the magnitude of the external force to be applied to each of all the occupants is equal to or less than a second threshold value larger than the first threshold value when the sleep depth of each of the occupants is greater than the reference depth.

A position correcting mechanism sandwiches, from both sides, a horizontal leg portion of a flying vehicle that has landed on a takeoff/landing surface of a stage, and moves the flying vehicle on the takeoff/landing surface to a position along a centerline. A grip mechanism grips a supporting leg portion of the flying vehicle. The flying vehicle is moved toward a securing device provided at an edge part of the stage, and an end portion of the horizontal leg portion is inserted into an insertion hole of an insertion part. The flying vehicle is thereby secured on the takeoff/landing surface.

Takeoff/landing assist device

A cargo conveying device includes: a horizontal direction conveying section that conveys cargo in a horizontal direction, and that includes a transfer section at which cargo is transferred between the transfer section and a cargo handler; a height adjusting section that adjusts a vertical direction height of the transfer section; and a control section that, at a time at a time at which cargo is transferred between the transfer section and a cargo handler, operates the height adjusting section, and adjusts the vertical direction height of the transfer section.

A vehicle usage fee determination system includes a reception unit that receives a usage application by a user who has an intention to drive a vehicle, a wakefulness level estimation unit that estimates a wakefulness level of the user, and a fee determination unit that sets a usage fee of the vehicle when a target wakefulness level that is the wakefulness level at a time a first predetermined time before a scheduled driving start time of the vehicle by the user is a predetermined value to be equal to or less than a usage fee of the vehicle when the target wakefulness level is lower than the predetermined value.

A vehicle front portion structure is obtained that can efficiently lead cooling wind to a heat exchanger. A vehicle front portion structure has: a heat exchanger; a flow path member that forms a discharging flow path that discharges airflow, that has passed through an air-side flow path of the heat exchanger, to a vehicle exterior from a downwardly-directed opening portion at a rear side with respect to the heat exchanger; and an airflow promoting structure that forms a contracted flow path that gradually becomes more narrow from a front end side toward a rear end side, and that, at the front end side, increases a speed of traveling wind that has flowed-in from beneath a vehicle floor, and that causes the traveling wind to flow-out from between the heat exchanger and the opening portion at the discharging flow path.

Vehicle front portion structure

A stabilizer configured to connect suspension devices situated right and left of an automobile, the stabilizer is characterized in that the stabilizer extends below a suspension member where a steering device of the automobile is fixed; at a side of the suspension member, the stabilizer extends above a lower arm and toward a front of the automobile; and the stabilizer is connected to the suspension devices.
