The seat management device includes a receiving unit for receiving a request regarding the characteristics of the seats of the mobile body in which the passengers can ride on each other, and a seat assigning unit for assigning a seat to the passengers for each region in the room of the mobile body on the basis of the request, to assign the passengers in which the request is common to the same region. The request is transmitted from a passenger terminal.

Seat management device, seat management method, and seat management system

A surface shape variable device which comprises a board-like member comprising a plurality of strip elements capable of being elastically morphed which extend in parallel along a plane; and morphing control devises which elastically morph the strip elements due to buckling and the like toward a direction traversing the plane by applying stress to at least a part of the strip elements, wherein the strip elements are woven into a woven fabric-like state and extend intersecting with each other.

Surface shape variable device

An aerodynamic device provided as a plate-shaped body attached to a roof or a side wall of a vehicle includes means configured to selectively raise ribs arranged in two directions from a surface portion of the plate-shaped body in a switching manner between the two directions.

Aerodynamic device

A vehicle includes front wheels, rear wheels, a vehicle body, and closure mechanisms. The vehicle body has vehicle-body side surfaces each provided with an airflow passage. The airflow passage is located in a lower portion of the vehicle-body side surface. The lower portion is located between a corresponding one of the front wheels and a corresponding one of the rear wheels. The airflow passage extends from an underfloor space located below the vehicle body, to the vehicle-body side surface. The closure mechanisms are each configured to close the airflow passage of a corresponding one of the vehicle-body side surfaces that receives a crosswind while the vehicle is in motion. An extending direction of the airflow passage extending from the underfloor space toward the vehicle-body side surface is inclined toward a rear of the vehicle.

In a vehicle including a plurality of devices (, andto) for operating so as to cause a yaw rate of the vehicle to approach a target yaw rate, a target control amount &#x394;&#x3b3;t for the yaw rate for causing a yaw rate &#x3b3; of the vehicle to approach a target yaw rate &#x3b3;t is calculated (Sto S), for each device, a ratio of a change amount of the yaw rate to an energy loss amount caused by an operation is calculated as an efficiency (Sto S), the target control amount is sequentially distributed to the plurality of devices in descending order of the efficiency, to thereby calculate individual target control amounts for the plurality of devices (Sto S), and the operations of the respective devices are controlled based on the individual target control amounts (S).

Vehicle travel control apparatus

A shock-absorbing structure configured to absorb an impact load in a specific direction includes a first steric portion having a hollow steric structure; and a second steric portion disposed inside the first steric portion and having a hollow steric structure. In the shock-absorbing structure, the second steric portion includes a wall portion along a direction crossing the specific direction.
