  • Publication number: 20170316534
    Abstract: A shared vehicle management device basically has a database with information transmitted from a user as reception information, information on a plurality of stations where it is possible to lend and return a shared vehicle, and information on the history of a user's usage of shared vehicles. The shared vehicle management device also has a controller that controls the storage of information and accepts reservations from a user to use a shared vehicle, including information on a lending station that has been designated as a station where the user wants a shared vehicle to be lent. The controller notifies the user of lending possibility information that includes information on whether a shared vehicle is available at a predetermined station, including the lending station designated by the user, upon determining that the lending station designated by the user cannot currently offer usage of a shared vehicle.
