Abstract
According to the method of the present disclosure, first, an application for a reservation for at least one of a point and a time at which a first transportation service vehicle is to be stopped is received from a user. Next, an overlap is detected between the reservation and an operation schedule related to a stopping point and a stopping time of each of other transportation service vehicles operated in a region where the first transportation service vehicle is operated. Further, a priority between the first transportation service vehicle and a second transportation service vehicle having an operation schedule overlapping with the reservation among the other transportation service vehicles is determined based on at least a service type of each of the first transportation service vehicle and the second transportation service vehicle. Then, the user is notified of approval or disapproval of the reservation determined based on the priority.
