  • Information processing apparatus, non-transitory storage medium, and information processing method
    Patent number: 11975778
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus disclosed has a controller configured to execute the processing of accepting a request for retrieving a target vehicle body unit that is laid at a specific place, selecting a chassis unit for retrieval from among chassis units in the state separated from any vehicle body unit, the chassis unit for retrieval being a chassis unit to be used to retrieve the target vehicle body unit, and sending a retrieval command to the chassis unit for retrieval, the retrieval command being a command to retrieve the target vehicle body unit.

  • In-vehicle actuator control method and in-vehicle actuator control apparatus
    Patent number: 11794719
    Abstract: When an estimation state of a road noise value based on an angular acceleration of a wheel is a proper estimation state, it is determined whether a background noise of the vehicle is in the high background or the low background noise state according to magnitudes of the road noise value and a predetermined threshold value. When the estimation state is not the proper estimation state, it is determined that the background noise of the vehicle is in the low background noise state regardless of road noise value. When the background noise is in the high background noise state, an output of the in-vehicle actuator is set so noise accompanying an operation of the in-vehicle actuator becomes relatively large. When the background noise is in the low background noise state, an output of the in-vehicle actuator is set so that noise accompanying an operation of the in-vehicle actuator becomes relatively small.
