This method includes specifying an available vehicle from among a plurality of the vehicles as an in-use vehicle on the basis of the vehicle requests from the users who request use of the vehicle (Vn), setting the travel plan including a travel route of the in-use vehicle by way of a boarding location for each of the users on the basis of the vehicle requests from the users, and in a case in which a user of the users is absent at the boarding location when the in-use vehicle arrives at the boarding location, setting a waiting time at the boarding location on the basis of the travel plan.

Vehicle management method and vehicle management apparatus

A driving force sensor detects a driving force in a rotating mechanism provided in an apparatus. A vibration sensor detects vibrations of the apparatus. A control unit determines a type of a malfunction of the apparatus in accordance with a combination of the detected driving force and the detected vibrations.

Malfunction-type determination device and malfunction-type determination method

A commercial vehicle operation system is provided with a server that can respectively communicate with a vehicle terminal of a commercial vehicle and with a user terminal owned by a user via a communication network. The server includes a communication unit, a vehicle operation information management unit that acquires and manages vehicle operation information including at least current location information of the commercial vehicle, and a roaming travel execution determination unit that determines whether to carry out roaming travel based on current location information of the commercial vehicle.

System for operating commercial vehicles

An abnormality detection apparatus detects an abnormality of equipment according to sensor data that is related to a vibration of the equipment and is obtained while a brake device for braking a motion of a movable part of the equipment is in operation.

Abnormality detection apparatus and abnormality detection method

The present disclosure includes acquiring a desired condition from a user who uses a shared vehicle, determining whether or not the shared vehicle can be reserved on the basis of the desired condition, and when the reservation of the shared vehicle is completed, providing information including a destination of the shared vehicle reserved to other users as reservation information of the shared vehicle.

Information providing method and information providing device

An abnormality detection device of detecting an abnormality of a robot which executes an operation such as welding on a target object, includes a control unit including a signal input unit to which a detection signal is input, the detection signal being obtained when a state of the robot is detected by a sensor, so that the control unit detects an abnormality of the robot in accordance with the detection signal. The control unit outputs a control signal to the robot so as to execute an integrated action in which a necessary action necessary for detecting an abnormality is added to a predetermined action in which the operation is not executed on the target object. The control unit detects the abnormality of the robot in accordance with the detection signal detected when the integrated action is executed.

Abnormality detection device and abnormality detection method

A control unit causes a sensor to start sampling at a plurality of start timings different from each other. The control unit combines sampling signals obtained by the start of the sampling at the different start timings, and detects a malfunction of an apparatus in accordance with the combined sampling signal.

An abnormality detecting device determines an abnormality in an apparatus by comparing data on vibration detected in the apparatus with a predetermined threshold. Moreover, the abnormality detecting device changes the threshold depending on a length of work time required for the apparatus to perform a certain work.

Abnormality detecting device and abnormality detecting method

A ride-sharing management method for managing ride-sharing of a vehicle by a plurality of users using a control device, where the ride-sharing management method includes calculating a deboarding order of the users on a basis of boarding and deboarding locations of the users on a travel route of the vehicle for the users to share a ride, calculating an entrance to the vehicle on a basis of the deboarding order of the users, and setting seating positions of the users on a basis of the deboarding order and the entrance.

Ride-sharing management method, ride-sharing management device, and vehicle

A shared vehicle management apparatus for managing shared vehicles shared by users includes a first storage configured to store information on a plurality of stations at which the shared vehicles can be rented and returned, a reservation acceptance device configured to accept a use reservation of a shared vehicle from a user, the use reservation including information on a departure station and an arrival station, the departure station being set by the user as a station from which the user expects to use the shared vehicle, and the arrival station being set by the user as a station to which the user returns the shared vehicle after use, a return occasion detector configured to detect a return start occasion on which the user using the shared vehicle returns the shared vehicle, and a route guidance device.

Shared vehicle management apparatus and shared vehicle management method

A shared vehicle management device for managing shared vehicles used by users, including a rental request acquisition unit configured to acquire a rental request by the user, a vehicle state acquisition unit configured to acquire state information of the shared vehicle, a rental determination unit configured to determine a necessity level of maintenance of the shared vehicle on a basis of the state information of the shared vehicle, and determine whether to prohibit or permit a rental of the shared vehicle with the state information of the shared vehicle and the rental request by the user, and a recommended destination selection unit configured to determine that the shared vehicle needs maintenance upon a determination that the necessity level of maintenance of the shared vehicle is higher than a predetermined reference value when the rental determination unit determines whether to prohibit or permit the rental of the shared vehicle.

Shared vehicle management device

An operator management device for managing work of an operator in a car sharing system that allows users to use shared vehicles allocated to stations includes a vehicle state acquisition unit configured to acquire state information of the shared vehicle, a transportation object vehicle specifying unit configured to specify a transportation object vehicle to be transported to a facility for restoring the shared vehicle so that the state information changes to a predetermined target value, on a basis of the state information of the shared vehicle and a utilization rate of the shared vehicle for rent at each station, and an operator management unit configured to generate an instruction of a task for the operator who transports the specified transportation object vehicle to the facility and manage execution of the task.

Operator management device, operator management system, and operator management method

Light from a light source is processed on the image display element by an image signal outputted from an image control section to be projected on the screen of a predetermined curved surface shape. When the light from the light source is processed by the image signal, the image control section processes an aberration shape of a projected image so as to coincide with the shape of a projection curved surface of the screen. Thus, a desired image can be clearly projected on the screen having the curved surface shape.
