An unmanned conveying system includes: plural unmanned conveying vehicles that can convey cargo; a cargo priority order deciding section that decides upon a priority order in which the cargo are to be conveyed, in accordance with conditions of the cargo; and a traveling route setting section that decides upon traveling routes of the unmanned conveying vehicles on the basis of the priority order.

Unmanned conveying system

A vehicle includes a permission unit configured to permit a remote operation using a remote operation device outside the vehicle, a transmission unit configured to transmit, to the remote operation device, information on surroundings of the subject vehicle acquired from sensors, a receiving unit configured to receive a remote operation signal that is input by an operator outside the vehicle via the remote operation device, a travel control unit configured to remotely drive the vehicle based on the remote operation signal, and a replacement reception unit configured to, while the vehicle is remotely driven, receive an instruction from an occupant to replace the operator.

Vehicle and remote operation system

The disclosure is an information processing device that manages an operation of an autonomous vehicle having a loading space in which a parcel is loaded. The information processing device includes a control unit that executes: acquiring operation plan information including a route along which the autonomous vehicle travels when the autonomous vehicle delivers the parcel, and a delivery time for the parcel; and acquiring vacant space information based on the operation plan information, the vacant space information including a traveling section where a vacant space is generated in the loading space of the autonomous vehicle, a time when the vacant space is generated in the loading space of the autonomous vehicle, and the size of the vacant space that is generated in the loading space of the autonomous vehicle.

Information processing device, information processing method and information processing program

A delivery system includes a moving apparatus on which a parcel to be transferred to a predetermined region is loaded and that is capable of moving the parcel along a circulation route along which the moving apparatus circulates in the region. The delivery system acquires delivery information including position information about a delivery destination of the parcel, generates a delivery plan for delivering the parcel to the delivery destination, based on the acquired delivery information, and controls the moving apparatus such that the moving apparatus moves the parcel to the delivery destination on the circulation route based on the delivery plan and fulfills the transfer of the parcel when permission information indicating that the transfer of the parcel is permitted has been received.

Delivery system, delivery method and program

A control section of a server apparatus as an information processing apparatus in the disclosure executes: inquiring of a terminal of a user who desires to board a self-driving vehicle operating for pickup-delivery of an item, whether or not the user is able to handle work of pickup-delivery of the item at a pickup-delivery location between the self-driving vehicle and a pickup-delivery service user; and when a response indicating that the user is able to handle the work of pickup-delivery when the user is on board the self-driving vehicle is received from the terminal, transmitting to the self-driving vehicle an instruction to allow the user who desires to board and is able to handle the work of pickup-delivery to board the self-driving vehicle.
