A vehicle management system () for managing a plurality of vehicles shared by a plurality of users, comprising: a controller () for accepting a use request for using the vehicle from the user and managing vehicle dispatch; and a database () for storing the use request including a departure place and a destination of the vehicle designated by the user, wherein the controller () calculates a required time for the vehicle to arrive at the destination designated by a first user who has made the use request as a first time, calculates a time which is a longer time than the first time and is a time to present to the first user, as a second time, calculates an available area for ride-sharing based on the service capacity, accepts the use request from the second user, and when the departure place designated by the second user is within the available area for ride-sharing, has the vehicle pass through the departure place designated by the second.

Vehicle management system and vehicle management method

A vehicle management method includes calculating, based on a desired condition of each user sharing a ride on a vehicle, a first route for the vehicle to travel and a first required time for the vehicle to arrive at a destination on the first route, when a delay time with respect to the first required time exceeds a predetermined time while the vehicle is traveling along the first route, setting an alternative boarding location for a boarding location or an alternative deboarding location for a deboarding location based on the desired condition of each user, calculating a second route including the alternative boarding location or the alternative deboarding location and a second required time for the vehicle to arrive at a destination on the second route, and notifying the users of at least the alternative boarding location or the alternative deboarding location and the second required time.

Shared vehicle management method and shared vehicle management device

A vehicle guidance device has a stopping vehicle detector configured to detect stopping vehicles failing to pass through a traffic light while a light is green, the traffic light being installed beside a plurality of lanes extending in a same direction, an information acquisition unit configured to acquire a starting characteristic of each detected vehicle, and a simultaneous passage line calculator configured to calculate a simultaneous passage line including a first line and a second line based on the acquired starting characteristics, when a vehicle having a lower starting characteristic than a reference starting characteristic is included in the vehicles stopping on a first lane included in the plurality of lanes, and when a vehicle having a higher starting characteristic than starting characteristics of the vehicles on the first lane is included in the vehicles stopping on a second lane included in the plurality of lanes.

Vehicle guidance device and vehicle guidance method

A vehicle control apparatus includes a motor unit, a power accumulating device, a charging power control section, a vehicle state detecting section, a braking/driving force control section, a turning determination section and a charging power correction section. The motor unit is configured to generate an independent driving/braking force for at least each of left and right driving wheels. The charging power control section is configured to set charging power supplied to the power accumulating device in accordance with a power accumulation state of the power accumulating device. The braking/driving force control section is configured to control a braking force or a driving force generated by the motor unit based on the operating state of the vehicle. The turning determination section is configured to determine whether a prescribed vehicle turning condition exists. The charging power correction section is configured to increase the charging power when the prescribed vehicle turning condition exists.
