There is provided a technique that can appropriately display route icons. A map display system includes a display section obtaining part that obtains display sections each being a section of a route to be displayed on a map; a connecting point obtaining part that obtains a connecting point, the connecting point being a point where different routes are connected together on the display sections; and a map display part that displays at least one route icon for each split section, the route icon being an image associated with a route, and the split section being obtained by splitting each of the display sections by the connecting point.

Map display system and map display program

An information processing apparatus is provided with a controller comprising at least one processor configured to perform: obtaining route information indicating an operation route of a vehicle utilized by unspecified users; and obtaining desired location information indicating desired locations at which the users desire to get on the vehicle or desired locations at which the users desire to get off the vehicle. Then, the controller of the information processing apparatus determines a stop location, at which the vehicle is stopped for the users to get on or off, based on a plurality of pieces of the desired location information and the route information, and presents stop location information indicating the stop location thus determined to the users.

Information processing apparatus, operation management system, and non-transitory storage medium

An information processing device calculates a quoted price to be presented to a purchase contemplation person for a vehicle. The information processing device includes a control unit that calculates a demand forecast when the purchase contemplation person uses the vehicle as a car-sharing vehicle, calculates an expected income when the purchase contemplation person uses the vehicle as the car-sharing vehicle, based on the demand forecast, and calculates the quoted price based on a vehicle price of the vehicle and the expected income, to present the quoted price to the purchase contemplation person.

Information processing device, program and information processing method

A driving assistance systems, methods, and programs are capable of communicating with a route guidance system that searches for a planned travel route of a vehicle and provides guidance on the planned travel route. The systems, methods, and programs accept, as input, the planned travel route from the route guidance system as a route for driving assistance and provide driving assistance of the vehicle on the route for driving assistance. The systems, methods, and programs accept, as input, when the planned travel route whose guidance is provided by the route guidance system no longer matches the route for driving assistance, the planned travel route from the route guidance system.

In an information processing device, an acquisition unit acquires current position information of a vehicle. A route search unit searches for a route from a departure place via the current position of the vehicle to a destination based on the current position information of the vehicle acquired by the acquisition unit.

Information processing device

Provided is lane guidance system for decreasing the possibility that a user is misled including: a proposed travel route acquisition unit that acquires a proposed travel route of a vehicle; a successive intersection determination unit that determines whether a distance between a first intersection that is a guidance intersection on the proposed travel route and a second intersection that follows the first intersection is within a prescribed distance. Based on the proposed travel route, a travelable lane acquisition unit acquires a travelable lane that the vehicle needs to travel along when entering the first intersection to exit in a specific exiting direction of the first intersection, when the vehicle needs to exit from the first intersection in the exiting direction to travel along the proposed travel route. Before arriving at the first intersection, the lane guidance unit selects and proposes, as a recommended lane from the travelable lane, a lane that the vehicle needs to travel along when entering the first intersection after exiting from the first intersection, a lane that the vehicle needs to travel along when entering the second intersection to exit in a specific exiting direction of the second intersection, when the vehicle needs to exit from the second intersection in the exiting direction to travel along the proposed travel route when the a distance between the first intersection and the second intersection is within a prescribed distance.

Lane guidance system and lane guidance program

Region guidance systems and programs obtain a spot with which guidance information is associated. When there are a plurality of the spots in a region whose boundary is defined, the systems an programs provide guidance on the guidance information associated with one of the spots selected based on a position of an entry spot to the region.

Region guidance system and region guidance program

A weather guidance system is configured to guide a weather event having occurred around a user during moving, and includes: a guided event acquiring unit configured to acquire a guided event being a weather event previously guided to the user; and a guidance control unit configured to determine that when a new event being a new weather event having occurred around the user is acquired, the new event that is identical in weather type to the guided event and that has an occurrence region without overlapping with that of the guided event is guided, and the new event that is identical in weather type to the guided event and that has an occurrence region overlapping with that of the guided event is not to be guided.

Weather guidance system and weather guidance program

A map image and a character string indicating information relating to a spot included on the map image are displayed on a liquid crystal display, in a case where determination is made that a plurality of character strings displayed on the map image overlaps one another with displacement of a display range of the map image, at least one character string is set to non-display to restrain the character strings from overlapping one another, and thereafter, in a case where a state in which the character strings do not overlap one another is returned, and a predetermined time has elapsed or the map image has been rotationally moved at a predetermined angle or more after the character string is set to non-display, the character string is displayed again.

Map image display device and computer program

To provide a technique for recognizing a tendency of a parking lot that was actually used by users visiting a target facility, a parking lot information management system includes: a parking information collecting unit that collects parking information indicating a parking point at which a vehicle is parked from the vehicle; and a history information accumulating unit that accumulates history information for every target facility that is set as a destination, the history information configured so that a tendency of a parking lot that the vehicle was actually parked in when the target facility was set as the destination is derived, based on the parking information.
