Abstract: The vehicle includes a thawing compartment configured to thaw a commodity housed therein, an acquisition device configured to obtain information including a thawing time limit set based on a request from a user, and a controller configured to control the thawing operation of the thawing compartment. The controller controls the thawing compartment so as to complete the thawing operation of the commodity housed therein by the thawing time limit.

Abstract: A vehicle includes: a cooling box in which a delivery item delivered by a deliverer can be accommodated; a communication device configured to communicate with at least one of a server and a deliverer terminal that is used by the deliverer for delivery; and a communication device configured to acquire a target value of a temperature inside the cooling box from outside. The vehicle acquires the target value of the temperature inside the cooling box from at least one of the server and the deliverer terminal.

Abstract: A delivery system includes: a first vehicle including a first delivery box; a second vehicle including a second delivery box; a user terminal configured to be operated by a user; a deliverer terminal used by a deliverer during delivery; and a server configured to communicate with the first vehicle, the second vehicle, the user terminal, and the deliverer terminal. When the server receives a change signal from the user terminal to change a delivery destination for a delivery item from the first vehicle to the second vehicle, the server is configured to transmit required information to the deliverer terminal, the required information being required for the deliverer to deliver the delivery item to the second vehicle.

Abstract: A server for a charge-discharge system includes a controller. The controller is configured to communicate with a plurality of registered vehicles each equipped with a chargeable-dischargeable battery. The controller is configured to acquire information on a scheduled start time of a next travel of each of the registered vehicles. The controller is configured to acquire electric power information. The controller is configured to determine, based on the scheduled travel start time and the electric power information, a target vehicle of which the battery is to be charged or discharged from among the registered vehicles that are at least parked. The controller is configured to send to the target vehicle either a charge command that orders the battery of the target vehicle to be charged or a discharge command that orders the battery of the target vehicle to be discharged.

Abstract: An operation management center divides an operation area in which an on-demand bus operates into a plurality of predetermined sub-areas, and searches for candidate routes on which the on-demand bus travels for each divided sub-area. The center sets one of the retrieved routes as a basic route, and sets, as adjustment time for each divided sub-area, time required when the bus passes through a location separated from the basic route. Thus, by setting such adjustment time for each sub-area, and by using the adjustment time set for each sub-area, the center can determine an operation plan that takes into account an additional request while reducing an impact on the determined operation plan.

Abstract: The present invention provides a traffic simulator which can simulate traffic conditions with high accuracy. Cautionary object searching portion searches for cautionary objects which a driver should heed when driving a vehicle model; recognized cautionary object selection portion and driver-recognized cautionary object selection portion, based on driver ability information set by data creation portion, select cautionary objects recognized by a driver from the found cautionary objects; and movement determination portion determines the movement of a vehicle model based on the selected cautionary objects.

Abstract: A link travel time calculation device includes: a collection element for collecting a travel position and a transit time in each vehicle; and a link travel time calculation element. The calculation element calculates a total travel time interval of all sections based on the travel position and the transit time in a predetermined time period. The calculation element calculates a first travel time interval of an upstream section and a second travel time interval of a downstream section based on the travel position and the transit time. The calculation element calculates a travel time interval of the object link with respect to the predetermined time period by subtracting a sum of the first travel time interval and the second travel time interval from the total travel time interval.
