  • Publication number: 20230376871
    Abstract: The method of the present disclosure is a method for operating a regular service vehicle and an on-demand vehicle that travel by autonomous driving on a single lane having a plurality of overtaking places including a stop. According to the method, it is predicted that the on-demand vehicle is prevented from arriving at a location of a user of the on-demand vehicle at an optimal time by the regular service vehicle. When a passenger is on the regular service vehicle, an arrival time of the on-demand vehicle at the location of the user is delayed from the optimal time to cause the regular service vehicle to travel according to a regular operation schedule. When no passenger is on the regular service vehicle, the regular service vehicle is delayed from the regular operation schedule to cause the on-demand vehicle to arrive at the location of the user at the optimal time.

  • Publication number: 20230376035
    Abstract: The method of the present disclosure is a method for operating an on-demand vehicle that travels by autonomous driving on a single lane on which a regular service vehicle is operated. According to the method of the present disclosure, first the on-demand vehicle is moved to a meeting place with a user in response to receiving a reservation for the on-demand vehicle from the user. Next, an available waiting time of the on-demand vehicle at the meeting place is calculated based on a regular operation schedule of the regular service vehicle. Then, the on-demand vehicle is moved from the meeting place so as not to affect operation of the regular service vehicle when the available waiting time elapses without the user appearing at the meeting place.

  • Publication number: 20230243664
    Abstract: Input of destination information is received from a user. Information on a parking facility to be a candidate when moving to a destination and information on a transportation service for transporting between arbitrary points are acquired. Based on the acquired information, information including a candidate of a composite route combining a first route for moving from a destination to a parking facility by using a vehicle and a second route for moving from the parking facility to the destination by using a transportation service is generated, and the information is output to a user interface. When the input for selecting the composite route is received from the user, the composite route is set as the travel route and the use reservation of the transportation service is performed.
