  • Publication number: 20200042921
    Abstract: Provided is a work management device for arranging a worker in consideration of a change of work efficiency. In a work management device 10, an index acquisition unit 11 acquires, for each work section, a work evaluation index calculated based on work history performed by a worker. A duration time acquisition unit 12 acquires a duration time for which a work status of the worker is the work evaluation index. A cost acquisition unit 13 acquires a cost incurred when the worker moves between the work sections. A determination unit 14 acquires an estimated work amount performed by the worker until the duration time is elapsed. The determination unit 14 determines, based on the estimated work amount and cost, arrangement of the workers in the plurality of work sections in such a way as to increase work efficiency in a whole of a work range.

  • Publication number: 20190325545
    Abstract: A transportation planning device according to an embodiment is configured to: derive a candidate of a transportation procedure of one or more transportation targets which are part or all of a plurality of resources, the transportation procedure being a procedure of changing an allocation of the plurality of resources from a first allocation to a second allocation; calculate a rating of the candidate, based on a chronological change in a benefit generated by the plurality of resources when the candidate is executed, the chronological change in the benefit being specified based on a time required for each of the one or more transportation targets to move to an individual transportation destination; and output information based on the rating.

  • Patent number: 9853887
    Abstract: A delay tolerant network is built with the use of a plurality of information transfer devices each of which includes: a communication unit to communicate to and from another device within a communication range that is connected to the information transfer device; and a storing unit to store and keeps collected notification information, and each of which holds delay tolerant communication by exchanging the collected and kept notification information with another device when the exchange becomes possible. Each information transfer device includes a control unit to exchange environment information with another information transfer device, and to execute deriving processing an assigned range that is assigned autonomously to its own information transfer device, based on the environment information that is kept by its own information transfer device, through a planarization search processing in which a value is evened out between its own information transfer device and other information transfer devices.

  • Publication number: 20170241796
    Abstract: [Problem] To determine a moving route as appropriate by selecting from a plurality of service providing sites in view of circumstances in which it is or is not allowed to wait. [Solution] A current position obtaining unit 101 obtains the current position of a vehicle 1. A first location candidate obtaining unit 102 obtains a first location. A second location candidate obtaining unit 103 obtains a second location (e.g., an on-street parking lot). A state information obtaining unit 104 obtains, as state information, first location state information and second location state information. The first location state information is information regarding the state of provision of a vehicle parking service at the first location. The second location state information is information regarding the state of provision of a vehicle parking service at the second location. A route setting unit 105 sets a moving route for the vehicle 1 on the basis of the state information obtained by the state information obtaining unit 104.

  • Publication number: 20170131112
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: an information collection unit that collects first position information representing a position of a first moving object and second position information representing a position at which a second moving object takes on a transport target; a location information generation unit that generates location information of the first moving object, based on the first position information; a map information generation unit that generates a surrounding area map of the first moving object, based on the location information; a frequency information generation unit that, based on the surrounding area map and the second position information, generates frequency information representing the number of times that the second moving object takes on the transport target per unit time in any region of the surrounding area map; and an information display unit controls displaying of the surrounding area map and the frequency information.
