A control device includes a control unit configured to acquire target data indicating a production target in a factory and detect production progress in the factory, compare the production target indicated by the acquired target data with the detected production progress, and predict, based on an obtained comparison result, a finishing time period within which one or more users working in the factory are expected to finish work and adjust, based on the predicted finishing time period, a time period within which one or more vehicles for commuting are expected to transport the one or more users.

Control device, system, and adjustment method

A control apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire, as profile data, data read from a medium held by each of users when each of the users gets on a vehicle to be operated with the users on board to a destination having a plurality of facilities, identify, based on the acquired profile data, a facility from among the plurality of facilities at which each of the users is to get off the vehicle, and perform control of operating the vehicle along a route including the identified facility.

Control apparatus, vehicle, and control method

A communication control module of a navigation apparatus determines that a short message that a communication module has received is from a mobile telephone that corresponds to identification data stored in advance in a RAM, and outputs a remote operation signal to a power source module. The navigation module acquires the IP address of the navigation apparatus when switched from a sleep mode to a wake-up mode, and after generating a mail that contains this acquired IP address, sends this mail to the mobile telephone that sent the activation data by using the mail address of this mobile telephone. Therefore, even when a new IP address is assigned to the navigation apparatus each time the navigation apparatus is activated, it is possible to remotely control the navigation apparatus easily from a remote site.
