A vehicle loads at least one of a plurality of upper units having space to store a person or an object on an under unit including a drive mechanism that rotates wheels in the vehicle. The vehicle includes an under unit including a drive mechanism that rotates wheels and the at least one of the plurality of upper units loaded on the under unit. The under unit includes a loading unit, on which the at least one of the plurality of upper units as described above can be loaded. Each of the plurality of upper units includes a joint that joins to a different upper unit that is adjacently loaded.

Vehicle, upper unit, and control device

A sufficient sealing property of a through hole is ensured. A sealing structure includes a cylindrically-shaped body part inserted into the through hole, formed of a thin plate of a first thickness, one end of the body part being open and another end of the body part being closed, a tapered part connected to the opened one end of the body part and including a diameter gradually expanding outward as a distance from the body part increases, and a first bent part connected to the tapered part, formed of a thin plate thinner than the first thickness, and bent inward so that a protruding part protruding outward elastically abuts against an inner peripheral surface of the through hole.

Sealing structure and method of manufacturing the same

The present disclosure makes it possible to freely exchange interior of a vehicle. An interior unit according to the present disclosure is provided with: a frame portion attachable to and detachable from a vehicle; and interior parts installed on the frame portion. The frame portion is foldable, or extendable and contractible.

Interior unit, vehicle and control method

A vehicle comprises an under unit which is equipped with a driving mechanism configured to rotate wheels of the vehicle, and an upper unit which is mounted on the under unit. The upper unit comprises an extension/contraction mechanism which is configured to extend or contract the upper unit according to a size of the under unit.

Vehicle, upper unit and non-transitory storage medium

The present disclosure provides a technique that enables customization of a vehicle. In an information processing apparatus, a controller presents vehicle units extracted from among a plurality of types of under units each of which is provided with a driving mechanism configured to cause wheels to rotate and a plurality of types of upper units to be loaded on any of the under units to a user, the vehicle units being combinable as a vehicle. Furthermore, the controller executes: accepting selection by a user from among the presented vehicle units; and calculating a fee in the case of providing the selected vehicle units.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system and information processing method

An information processing apparatus is provided with a controller comprising at least one processor configured to perform: obtaining route information indicating an operation route of a vehicle utilized by unspecified users; and obtaining desired location information indicating desired locations at which the users desire to get on the vehicle or desired locations at which the users desire to get off the vehicle. Then, the controller of the information processing apparatus determines a stop location, at which the vehicle is stopped for the users to get on or off, based on a plurality of pieces of the desired location information and the route information, and presents stop location information indicating the stop location thus determined to the users.

Information processing apparatus, operation management system, and non-transitory storage medium

A continuously variable transmission is obtained by winding, around a drive sheave and a driven sheave, a continuously variable transmission belt in which a plurality of metal elements are stacked and supported on an endless ring. In at least one of the metal elements, flange parts are formed on a head part positioned at an outer peripheral side of the endless ring and a trunk part positioned at an inner peripheral side of the endless ring. The continuously variable transmission is provided with a fluid supply device which, during movement of the continuously variable transmission belt from the driven sheave to the drive sheave, sprayed lubricating oil in a movement direction of the continuously variable transmission belt, towards the flange parts.

Continuously variable transmission

To provide a power transmission belt and a method of producing the same that allows lightweight elements to be produced at low cost and allows the durability to be sufficiently ensured, the power transmission belt includes a plurality of elements each having both side end surface portions, a rocking edge portion rockably engaged with either one of a pair of other elements neighboring the element, and a concave-convex engagement portion engageable with the pair of other elements, in which each of the elements has a plate-like portion, a first convex portion projecting from one surface of the plate-like portion, and a second convex portion projecting from the one surface of the plate-like portion in a spaced relationship with the first convex portion to constitute the rocking edge portion, and each of the elements is engaged with the pair of other elements so as to press against one another by the first convex portion and the second convex portion.

Power transmission belt and method of producing the same

An endless metal belt including a ring formed by laminating endless metal plates; and multiple elements continuously attached to the ring. Each of the elements has a body, a head connected to the body by a pillar, and slots formed between the body and the head on left and right sides of the pillar, respectively, for receiving the ring. The elements satisfy the equations (h/t)&#x3c;1 and (S/h)&#x3e;40, where h is a width of the slots, t is a plate thickness of the elements, and S is an area of the head.
