A controller of an information processing apparatus is configured to acquire information indicating a work shift of a staff member on board a first vehicle in which a medical checkup is being performed, or information indicating a number of remaining pieces of equipment on board the first vehicle, and determine to dispatch a second vehicle with a new staff member on board or new equipment on board to a stopping location of the first vehicle upon determining, based on the acquired information, that the staff member needs to be replaced or the equipment needs to be replenished.

Information processing apparatus, system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A control apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire reservation information including a reservation time of a medical checkup for a user and a site of the medical checkup, acquire boarding positional information indicating a boarding position of the user, and generate a dispatch plan for a vehicle, that the user boards to travel between the boarding position and the site, based on the reservation information and the boarding positional information.

A terminal device according to this disclosure is a terminal device including a controlling portion, a storage portion, and a communication portion. The controlling portion stores electronic tickets in the storage portion. The controlling portion executes authentication of a user through communication with a server. In a case where the user is authenticated successfully, the controlling portion causes an electronic ticket associated with the user to be displayable from among the electronic tickets stored in the storage portion. In a case where a non-communicable state in which the communication with the server is not performable is established, the controlling portion causes a corresponding electronic ticket to be displayable from among the electronic tickets stored in the storage portion.

The route guidance device guides the route to the user based on the destination information and the departure point information. The route guidance device determines, based on the location information of the vehicle associated with the route selected by the user and the location information of the user, whether the user has ridden on the vehicle associated with the route selected by the user.

Route guidance device and MaaS providing method

A controller of an information processing apparatus is configured to, upon accepting appointments for health checkups from users, present the users with inquiry information inquiring of each user whether to be able to provide a parking place for a vehicle equipped with equipment to be used for the health checkups, and determine a parking place based on replies from the users to an inquiry indicated by the inquiry information.

A management method includes determining, by a management apparatus, a stopping location for a vehicle used for delivery, based on vehicle classification data on the vehicle, delivery environment information, and stopping environment information during the delivery.

Management method and management apparatus

Appropriate communication suitable for various situations is performed in millimeter wave communication for vehicles. A vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave communication device mounted on a vehicle and performing communication while temporally changing a communication direction by using an antenna unit capable of changing directivity includes: a running environment acquisition unit configured to acquire a running environment including at least one of a road condition of a road on which the vehicle is running and a vehicle state of the vehicle; and a communication control unit configured to perform control such that communication, in which a communication time allocated to each communication direction is determined in accordance with the running environment, is performed.

Vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave communication device and communication method

A vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave communication device includes: an acquisition unit for acquiring a relay request that requests relay of communication from a first communication partner, a detection unit for detecting directions of the first communication partner and a second communication partner that are viewed from the vehicle, and a communication control unit for performing control such that, in the case where the relay request is received from the first communication partner and it is possible to communicate with the second communication partner, communication, in which a communication time longer than a communication time set for another direction is set for each of the directions of the first communication partner and the second communication partner, is performed, and communication between the first communication partner and the second communication partner is relayed.

A vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave communication device for performing communication while temporally changing a communication direction by using an antenna unit capable of changing directivity includes: a detection unit configured to detect a direction of a communication partner present around a host vehicle; and a communication control unit configured to perform control such that communication is performed, in which a longer communication time is set for the direction of the communication partner than another direction. The communication control unit preferably performs control that sets a long communication time for the direction of the communication partner in the case where the type of the content of communication with the communication partner is related to control of a vehicle, and in the case where the volume of the communication with the communication partner is not less than a threshold value.
