Abstract
[Object] To suppress the influence of uncertainties on a time of arrival while reducing the number of speed adjustments or the like to suppress the deterioration of fuel efficiency and comfort. [Solving Means] An information processing apparatusincludes: an uncertainty estimation unitthat quantifies, using an actual measured value, an uncertain predicted value that affects a time of arrival at a target point of a mobile object, and calculates a probability distribution of the uncertain predicted value; an estimated-time-of-arrival estimation unitthat calculates, using the probability distribution of the uncertain predicted value, a probability distribution of an estimated time of arrival at the target point when a current control input is used, the control input being a control input to the mobile object and affecting the time of arrival at the target point; and a time-of-arrival control unitthat determines, in the probability distribution of the estimated time of arrival at the target point, whether a first statistic of the estimated time of arrival with respect to a required time of arrival at the target point when the current control input is used falls outside a first threshold, and sets the control input to increase a possibility that a second statistic of the estimated time of arrival with respect to the required time of arrival is within an allowable range in the probability distribution of the estimated time of arrival at the target point if the first statistic falls outside the first threshold.
