A reward to the leading vehicle for the following travel is calculated based on the travel plan.

Abstract: Provided is a gear change control device of automatic transmission for vehicles. The gear change control device of automatic transmission includes a gear change control part which performs upshift gear change control and downshift gear change control of an automatic transmission according to a shift map. When an operation of a brake operation element is detected and full closure of an accelerator is detected, the gear change control part calculates, based on a change amount of a vehicle speed and a pressure of a brake master cylinder, a determination counter value for determining whether or not to execute the downshift of the automatic transmission, and when the determination counter value is equal to or greater than a threshold value (first threshold value), the gear change control part performs the downshift of the automatic transmission.

Abstract: There is provided with a vehicle following travel system configured to cause a following vehicle to perform following travel following a leading vehicle. A departure point and a destination desired by a user of the following vehicle and a rest condition desired by the user of the following vehicle is obtained. Based on the departure point and the destination, for the leading vehicle that the following vehicle follows is searched. A travel plan that includes a section of the following travel in at least a part between the departure point and the destination and further includes a rest complying with the rest condition is generated.

Abstract: There is provided with an information processing method performed by a vehicle following travel system configured to cause a following vehicle to perform following travel following a leading vehicle. A departure point and a destination desired by a user of the following vehicle and information representing a drivable distance of the following vehicle is obtained. Based on the departure point and the destination, for the leading vehicle that the following vehicle follows is searched. A travel plan including a section of the following travel in at least a part between the departure point and the destination while judging whether to stop by a facility for increasing the drivable distance in accordance with the drivable distance of the following vehicle is generated.

Abstract: There is provided with an information processing method performed by a vehicle following travel system configured to cause a following vehicle to perform following travel following a leading vehicle.
