Abstract: A vehicle management device includes one or more processors configured to: manage a plurality of vehicles to be provided for users in a car sharing service; manage, as a plurality of first vehicles, a part of the vehicles to be allocated to an on-demand use in which the users use the car sharing service without reservation; manage, as a plurality of second vehicles, a part of the vehicles to be allocated to a reservation use in which the users use the car sharing service with the reservation; and change at least one of the second vehicles to the first vehicles when the number of the first vehicles is less than a first predetermined number.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus manages a vehicle used for a car-sharing service. The information processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to acquire, from a user, as application information for using the vehicle, one of application information for reservation use for making a reservation in advance and application information for on-demand use for accepting use of a vehicle stopped at an on-demand stand-by station. The same vehicle can be used for both the reservation use and the on-demand use.

Abstract: A polyphenylene ether resin composition containing (A) 100 parts by weight of a polyphenylene-ether-base resin composed of 100-60 wt. % of a polyphenylene ether resin and 0-40 wt. % of a polystyrene resin and (B) 1-40 parts by weight of a dicarboxylic acid ester copolymer obtained from a vinyl monomer and an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid ester as copolymerizable components. The dicarboxylic acid ester copolymer has a weight average molecular weight not greater than 60,000. The polyphenylene ether resin composition, if necessary, can further comprise (C) 1-40 parts by weight of conductive carbon or an A-B-A' type or A-B'-B" type block copolymer elastomer. Owing to its excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and moldability, the resin composition is useful in the fields of automotive vehicles, home electronic or electric appliances and industrial parts or components.
