A method for operating an air conditioner installed in a vehicle is provided. The method includes a step of operating the air conditioner according to an operation instruction for the air conditioner when the operation instruction is received from a mobile terminal of an operator of the vehicle, and a step of displaying a notification related to an operation of the air conditioner on a screen of the mobile terminal while the air conditioner is operated according to the operation instruction, the step being a step in which the notification related to the operation of the air conditioner is continuously displayed on the screen without being deleted by a predetermined operation of the mobile terminal by the operator when the mobile terminal is located outside the vehicle.

Method and system for operating in-vehicle air conditioner

The vehicle management server manages a vehicle rented as a robot taxi from an owner to a user. The vehicle management server transmits the vehicle position information to a communication terminal of the owner when the vehicle is in operation as a robot taxi. The vehicle position information is a distance from the current position of the owner to the vehicle, or an area where the vehicle is currently located.

Vehicle management server, communication terminal, and vehicle management program

A sensor mounting structure for a vehicle, includes: first mounting members extending in a vehicle front-and-rear direction, being separated by a spacing in a vehicle width direction, and being mountable at arbitrary positions of a roof of the vehicle; and second mounting members extending in the vehicle width direction, being separated by a spacing in the vehicle front-and-rear direction, and being configured to span between arbitrary positions of the first mounting members, the second mounting members and the first mounting members retaining a sensor support member.

Sensor mounting structure for vehicle

An information processing apparatus controls a vehicle having a service power supply used to provide a service and a driving power supply used for traveling. The information processing apparatus has a storage unit configured to store service-related information concerning the service provided by the vehicle, and a controller configured to select any of a first mode, in which the service power supply and the driving power supply are independently used, and a second mode, in which the service power supply and the driving power supply are shared, based on the service-related information.

Apparatus, method, and system for providing electricity to a vehicle providing a service

A vehicle sensor attaching structure in which a plurality of kinds of external sensors for detecting an external condition of a vehicle is attached on a roof of the vehicle, the vehicle sensor attaching structure including: a common sensor unit that is fixed to the roof of the vehicle and to which at least one kind of the external sensor is attached; and an option sensor unit that is attachable to the common sensor unit in at least two directions of a vehicle left side, a vehicle right side, a vehicle upper side, a vehicle front side, and a vehicle rear side, that is detachably attached to the common sensor unit, and to which at least one kind of the external sensor is attached.

Vehicle sensor attaching structure

A vehicle sensor mounting structure includes a first sensor kit and a second sensor kit, each having a sensor group including a plurality of sensors and a bracket on an upper surface of which the sensor group is installed, a first fitting portion which is provided on a front side of the roof in a vehicle front-rear direction and into which a first bracket is fitted such that the upper surface is exposed, and a second fitting portion which is provided on a rear side of the roof in the vehicle front-rear direction so as to face the first fitting portion in the vehicle front-rear direction and into which a second bracket is fitted such that the upper surface is exposed. The plurality of sensors of each sensor group includes at least two kinds of sensors selected from among a camera, a millimeter wave radar, and a LiDAR sensor.

Vehicle sensor mounting structure and vehicle sensor bracket set

A vehicular sensor mounting structure for a sensor that is mounted on a roof of a vehicle to detect an environment outside the vehicle is equipped with a bracket attached to the roof to support the sensor in a swingable manner, and a cover member having a sensor opening portion that opens toward an outer periphery of the vehicle, and provided on the roof in such a manner as to cover the sensor from above. The cover member has a wire harness cover portion covering, from above, a wire harness that passes through the roof from below, that protrudes into the cover member, and that is connected to the sensor.

Vehicular sensor mounting structure

An air cleaner hose is provided. The air cleaner hose includes a bellows part and a low-rigidity part. The low-rigidity part is in a region between the bellows part and one end of the air cleaner hose. The low-rigidity part is included in a part of the air cleaner hose in a circumferential direction, wherein the low-rigidity part is configured to have a buckling deformation such that a buckling load of the low-rigidity part with respect to a compressive load in an axial direction of the air cleaner hose is smaller than a buckling load of a region other than the low-rigidity part with respect to the compressive load.
