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

An information processing apparatus configured to determine a travel route for a vehicle traveling in a facility, the information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to determine the travel route for the vehicle based on operation information on disaster prevention equipment installed in the facility and/or first image information including an image of a passageway in the facility, the image being captured by an imaging apparatus installed in the facility, and vehicle position information indicating a position of the vehicle, and a communication interface configured to transmit, to the vehicle, travel route information indicating the travel route.

A computer includes a search unit configured to search for a route from a first point to a second point, and an autonomous driving unit configured to execute autonomous driving of a vehicle along the route found by the search unit. The search unit is configured to execute a first route search for searching for a route that satisfies a first requirement in a case where a predetermined condition is not established. The search unit is configured to execute a second route search for searching for a route that satisfies a second requirement in a case where the predetermined condition is established. The first requirement does not include presence of an automatic car wash machine on the route. The second requirement includes the presence of the automatic car wash machine on the route.

Computer, vehicle, and server

A vehicle management system includes a signal transmission device and a management device configured to manage a vehicle. The signal transmission device is configured to transmit an abnormality signal for notifying of an abnormality of the vehicle to the management device in a case where a predetermined operation is executed for the signal transmission device in the vehicle during autonomous driving without presence of a manager. The signal transmission device may be mounted on a vehicle or a mobile terminal.

Vehicle management system and vehicle management method

A battery electric vehicle includes an electric motor as a driving source. The battery electric vehicle includes: a driving operation member that is used to drive the battery electric vehicle; a pseudo shifting operation member imitating an operation member that is used to perform a shifting operation of a manual transmission internal combustion engine vehicle; a processor that controls the battery electric vehicle according to operation of the driving operation member; and an in-vehicle battery that is charged with electrical energy generated when regenerative braking of the battery electric vehicle is applied. The processor executes, according to selection by a driver, a control mode in which operation of the pseudo shifting operation member is associated with torque of the electric motor.

Battery electric vehicle

A battery electric vehicle includes: a driving operation member configured to be used to drive the battery electric vehicle; and a pseudo shifting operation member that imitates an operation member configured to be used to perform a shifting operation of a manual transmission internal combustion engine vehicle. A controller that controls the battery electric vehicle is configured to execute, according to selection by a driver, a control mode in which an operation of the pseudo shifting operation member is associated with torque of the electric motor. The controller is further configured to impose, when in the control mode, a restriction on an operation the battery electric vehicle performs in response to the operation of the pseudo shifting operation member, the restriction being able to be removed or eased.

A controller of an information processing apparatus is configured to control a vehicle to drive automatically by communicating with the vehicle via a communication interface, the vehicle being capable of towing a work vehicle and of driving automatically on public roads.

An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to manage operation of a vehicle traveling in a facility. The controller is configured to generate a transportation schedule to cause the vehicle to transport components to be used in the facility and a tour schedule to allow users touring the facility to be on board the vehicle. The controller is configured to run the vehicle based on the transportation schedule and the tour schedule.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and vehicle

An information processing apparatus autonomously determines a pick-up location for an on-demand bus. The information processing apparatus has a controller configured to determine a first location that is not predicted to be crowded with people as the pick-up location based on a user's preferred pick-up location and first information related to locations within the operation area of the on-demand bus that are predicted to be crowded with people. The controller of the information processing apparatus selects the first location thus determined as the pick-up location for the on-demand bus.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

A task management device includes a control unit that executes, when satisfaction of a specific condition is detected during a period in which a vehicle to be operated in a mode corresponding to an application is operated in a first mode, operation start control to start an operation of the vehicle in a second mode that is different from the first mode before a schedule end time of the period.

Task management device, vehicle, and task management method

A vehicle inspection method includes first and second transmission steps, and first and second determination steps. In the first transmission step, a vehicle transmits a first state detected by a first sensor mounted on the vehicle to a server, during autonomous driving. In the first determination step, the server determines a pass or a fail of the vehicle for the first inspection item by using the first state received from the vehicle. In the second determination step, the vehicle determines a pass or a fail for the second inspection item by using a second state detected by a second sensor mounted on the vehicle, during autonomous driving. In the second transmission step, the vehicle transmits a determination result of the second inspection item to the server in a case where a fail is determined for the second inspection item.

Vehicle management system and vehicle inspection method

An information processing apparatus acquires position information of a user terminal, and causes the user terminal to issue a first notification by audio or vibration in a case where a distance between a first point where a user of the user terminal is to get on board a vehicle provided for a predetermined service and the user terminal falls to or below a first distance, the first notification indicating that the first point is getting closer. The information processing apparatus causes the user terminal to issue a second notification by audio or vibration in a case where the distance between the first point and the user terminal falls to or below a second distance that is smaller than the first distance, the second notification indicating that the first point is getting closer.

Information processing apparatus, and method

A vehicle includes a storage device configured to store an estimation algorithm configured to output a degree of deterioration of a component mounted on the vehicle in response to an input of a value of a parameter related to the component, a sensor configured to detect the value of the parameter, and a control device. The control device is configured to execute a performance test by autonomous driving of the vehicle, acquire data indicating performance of the component during the performance test, and update the estimation algorithm by using the data acquired during the performance test.

Vehicle and method for diagnosing deterioration of on-vehicle component

A computer includes a diagnosis unit configured to, for a vehicle in which an abnormality has occurred and continuing traveling by autonomous driving is impossible, determine whether or not the vehicle is able to be restored on a spot and whether or not the vehicle is able to travel by manual driving. Such a computer may be mounted on a vehicle, a server, and a mobile terminal.

Computer, vehicle, server, mobile terminal, and vehicle management method
