A server includes a unit obtaining a position of a registered vehicle, a unit obtaining a vehicle dispatch position, a unit determining a candidate vehicle based on the vehicle dispatch position and the position of the registered vehicle, a unit transmitting information regarding an autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle to a user device, a unit receiving information for identifying a dispatch vehicle, and a unit transmitting a vehicle dispatch position to the dispatch vehicle. The user device includes a unit receiving the information regarding the autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle, a unit displaying the information regarding the autonomous driving function of the candidate vehicle, an unit accepting a user operation for selecting the dispatch vehicle, and a unit transmitting the information for identifying the dispatch vehicle to the server.

Vehicle dispatch system, vehicle dispatch method, server, user terminal, and storage medium

A vehicle dispatch device is configured to dispatch a vehicle having an autonomous driving function to a user, the device includes: a search unit configured to search for a first alternative moving object when the vehicle cannot continue the autonomous driving to the destination during the autonomous driving of the vehicle on which the user is boarded, the first alternative moving object to which the user can transfer at a boarding position which is within a predetermined distance from a position on a route to an end position of the autonomous driving of the vehicle, within a predetermined time from alighting from the vehicle; and a grant unit configured to grant a reward to the user when the first alternative moving object does not exist.

Vehicle dispatch device

An alighting position setting device includes an option presentation unit configured to present an occupant of a vehicle with multiple options set in advance relating to a request for an alighting position for a destination when the vehicle in an autonomous driving toward the destination set in advance approaches the destination, an option recognition unit configured to recognize the option selected by the occupant from the multiple options, and an alighting position setting unit configured to set an alighting position based on the request for the alighting position corresponding to the option selected by the occupant.

A user vehicle dispatch dealing system dispatches a passenger transport vehicle according to a vehicle dispatch request, which includes a riding point and a destination point. The system includes a vehicle situation obtaining unit that obtains a freight delivery vehicle situation including a delivery route and a current position of a freight delivery vehicle that delivers freight by autonomous driving, a vehicle situation determination unit that determines whether or not there is the freight delivery vehicle as a dispatch vehicle candidate in a state where a first preset range defined based on the delivery route includes the riding point, and an option presentation unit that presents an option of whether or not to request the dispatch of the freight delivery vehicle as the dispatch vehicle candidate to the user when the vehicle situation determination unit determines that there is the freight delivery vehicle as the dispatch vehicle candidate.

An armrest structure for door trim has an armrest lower, an armrest upper, and a joining component that joins the armrest upper and the armrest lower together, wherein the joining component is provided with a strap portion, and an anchor portion, and wherein the attachment hole has a wider portion through which the anchor portion can be inserted, and a narrower portion through which the anchor portion cannot be inserted, and during a process to assemble the armrest upper and the armrest lower together, the anchor portion is inserted through the wider portion, and once the armrest upper and the armrest lower are in an assembled state, the anchor portion is located at a position underneath the narrower portion of the attachment hole that is formed in the armrest lower.

Armrest structure for door trim

A utility part assembly includes a vehicular interior part and a utility part. The vehicular interior part has a first surface and a second surface that is opposite to the first surface and has a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole. The utility part includes a first member provided on the first surface and a second member provided on the second surface. The first member has a first coupling pin and one of a second coupling pin and a first coupling hole, and the second member has a coupling portion that is coupled to the first coupling pin and another one of the second coupling pin and the first coupling hole. The first coupling pin is inserted through the first mounting hole and coupled to the coupling portion, and the second coupling pin is inserted through the second mounting hole and coupled to the first coupling hole.

Utility part assembly for mounting utility part to vehicular interior part

A member fastening structure has an installation member (for example, grommet) and a leg member (for example, pin). A projecting part, having at least one inclined surface, and a projecting wall, for contacting with the inclined surface of the projecting part and guiding in a direction of removing the leg member (for example, pin) from the installation member (for example, grommet) in a case when the leg member (for example, pin) is rotated in a state where elastic leg pieces are spread open, are provided between the installation member (for example, grommet) and the leg member (for example, pin).

Member fastening structure and clip for fastening member

A fastening member has a head part, a shaft part, a thinly formed flange extending in a straight shape from an outer perimeter of the head part, and a coupling device (for example, head part of a grommet). A part has a through-hole, and a wall part positioned on an outer perimeter of the through hole and extending toward the direction of insertion of the shaft part. A base has an installation hole allowing insertion of the shaft part. When the base and the part are bound by insertion of the shaft part, the flange is pressed against the wall part and becomes in a bent-back state.
