Abstract: Vehicle allocation system includes an information provision apparatus, a first apparatus: control apparatus, and a user's second apparatus: user terminal apparatus. Processor of the information provision apparatus calculates a first driving plan for a vehicle in response to request information. When a second driving plan different from the first driving plan is calculated based on detection information acquired from the vehicle, the processor determines the cause of a change in the driving plan on the basis of the detection information. The processor transmits cause information including the cause to the user terminal apparatus. The user terminal apparatus presents the cause information on a display.

Abstract: Provided is a light-emitting device wherein short-wavelength light included in emitted white light is attenuated with a small increase in manufacturing cost and a small decrease in luminous flux. The light-emitting device includes a mount board, LED elements mounted on the mount board and emitting first light which is blue light or has a shorter wavelength than blue light, and a sealing resin containing phosphor particles and titanium-dioxide particles and filled on the mount board to integrally seal the LED elements, the phosphor particles being excited by the first light to emit second light. The first light and the second light are mixed and emitted as white light, and transmitting through the sealing resin causes the first light to be attenuated more than the second light by the titanium-dioxide particles.
