A server includes a communication unit (first acquisition unit) that acquires information about a status of use of an EVSE by a user (first user) who uses the EVSE (power control device) in a normal state. Further, the server includes a processor (controller) that performs, based on the information about the status of use, control for lending the EVSE to a user (second user) different from the foregoing user in a time period in which the foregoing user does not use the EVSE.

Server, system, and management method

An information processing apparatus obtains first image data representing an image displayed on a first monitor provided in an autonomous vehicle after the completion of updating of first software that controls the display on the first monitor. Then, the information processing apparatus determines whether or not the items displayed on a second monitor used for remotely monitoring the operation of the autonomous vehicle after the completion of updating of second software that controls the display on the second monitor and the items displayed on the first monitor extracted from the first image data are identical to each other.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and system

An information processing apparatus comprises a controller configured to execute: acquiring operation information that is information related to operation of a bus; and generating a running route for a first vehicle that is a light vehicle on the basis of the operation information.

Route search system and route search method

An information processing device includes a processor. The processor receives a report of an abnormality from a reporting terminal installed in a vehicle. The processor calls a first monitor via a first monitor terminal. The processor calls a second monitor via a second monitor terminal when the processor determines that a waiting period for a response from the first monitor terminal exceeds a predetermined period or that a transfer request is input at the first monitor terminal. The processor transfers the report to a terminal of police or an emergency service when the processor determines that a waiting period for a response from the second monitor terminal exceeds a predetermined period or that a transfer request is input at the second monitor terminal.

Information processing device, information processing method, and storage medium

A method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method includes, for each of a plurality of vehicles for which charging in a target time period has been applied for, acquiring vehicle information including predicted remaining SOC to be remaining at a start of the target time period and/or predicted consumed SOC to be consumed in a vehicle use period after an end of the target time period, determining, based on the vehicle information, whether each of the plurality of vehicles is a target for charging in the target time period, and determining a charging plan to charge a vehicle being determined to be eligible for charging, among the plurality of vehicles, in the target time period.
