Abstract: A management device of an automated valet parking system predicts a usage schedule of an automated valet parking service used by a user from usage history information about a usage history of the automated valet parking service used by the user. Then, the management device determines a parking position of a vehicle of the user among multiple parking lots with reference to the predicted usage schedule.

Abstract: Recommendation data that matches a preference of a user and includes data on a facility available for the user is generated based on various data. The various data include registration data on the user, hobby data on the user, registration data on the various facilities, and use situation data on the various facilities. The recommendation data is transmitted to the user terminal. After transmission of the recommendation data, it is determined whether the reservation request data has been received from the user terminal or not. The reservation request data includes data on a requested facility wished by the user, and data on an available time slot of the requested facility. When it is determined that the reservation request data has been received, a reservation of the requested facility covering the available time slot is made based on the reservation request data.

Abstract: An automated valet parking system enables a plurality of charging parking frames in a parking place to be utilized and reduces inconvenience to an EV user using an automated valet parking service. The management device acquires a vehicle usage schedule and a remaining charge amount of each EV and determines a parking frame usage schedule of a charging parking frame. Specifically, with respect to an EV scheduled to be used on the next day, the management device assigns a charging parking frame closer to the departure/arrival place to an EV having earlier use start time on the next day. With respect to an EV not scheduled to be used on the next day and an EV whose usage schedule is unknown, the management device assigns a charging parking frame farther from the departure/arrival place to an EV with smaller remaining charge amount.

Abstract: An automated valet parking (AVP) management system manages an AVP service delivered in a predetermined area. A pick-up or drop-off point is away from a parking facility in which a vehicle is parked. When it is not possible to deliver the AVP service to a user in accordance with a user request, notification information is delivered to the user. The notification information includes at least one of: a congestion situation on a route from a current position of the vehicle to a specified pick-up or drop-off point; a congestion situation at the specified pick-up or drop-off point; a waiting time for the user to get on or off the vehicle at the specified pick-up or drop-off point; a recommended time of day of use at the specified pick-up or drop-off point; and a substitute pick-up or drop-off point being a substitute for the specified pick-up or drop-off point.

Abstract: A method executed by an information processing device includes acquiring first information indicating use records of a user for each of a plurality of transportations, acquiring second information indicating preference levels of the user for each of the transportations, and outputting third information suggesting the user to use at least one transportation among the transportations, based on the first information and the second information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a communication interface; and one or more processors configured to when determining that a degree of dirt of a vehicle exceeds a predetermined first threshold value, select at least one vehicle washing facility from among a plurality of vehicle washing facilities, based on an attribute of a user of the vehicle, and notify the user of guidance information for guiding the user to the selected vehicle washing facility via the communication interface.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus communicable with the vehicle includes one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to: detect the vehicle before parking; determine the characteristic of the detected vehicle or the characteristic of a driver of the vehicle; set a parking frame for the vehicle in accordance with the characteristic; and transmit information indicating the parking frame to the vehicle.

Abstract: A method executed by an information processing device includes acquiring a score indicating a driving skill of a user who drives a vehicle and executing traffic assistance processing based on the score at the time when the vehicle is parked. An information processing device comprises a controller that acquires a score indicating a driving skill of a user who drives a vehicle, and executes traffic assistance processing based on the score, at a time when the vehicle is parked. A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions that are executable by one or more processors and causes the one or more processors to acquire a score indicating a driving skill of a user who drives a vehicle, and execute traffic assistance processing based on the score, at a time when the vehicle is parked.

Abstract: An object recognition apparatus groups reflection points detected by a radar device, and recognizes an object around the own vehicle, based on a radar-based target detected using the grouped plurality of reflection points and an image-based target detected using an image captured by an image capturing device. The object recognition apparatus includes a reflection point acquiring unit that acquires reflection point information related to the grouped plurality of reflection points, and an object determining unit that determines that a plurality of objects have been detected as a single object by the radar device, based on the reflection point information acquired by the reflection point acquiring unit and the information on the image-based target, if the image-based target detected by the imaging device includes an image-only target not detected by the radar device.
