Patent number: 11941991Abstract: According to one embodiment, a platooning operation system organizes a platoon by making a plurality of vehicles cooperate. The platooning operation system includes an application acceptance processor and a platoon organization processor. The application acceptance processor accepts an application of a vehicle for admission to the platoon. The platoon organization processor which selects a platoon to which the vehicle is to be admitted or determines possibility of admission of the vehicle to the platoon, based on at least one of information on a driver driving the vehicle and information on the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: TOSHIBA DIGITAL SOLUTIONS CORPORATIONInventors: Megumi Kobayashi, Yasuto Hatafuku, Hideki Kubo, Motokazu Iwasaki, Yoko Ikeda, Shinsuke Iuchi, Kiyoshi Takemoto, Kaori Kitami, Keishi Higashi, Tatsuki Shiraishi, Michiyo Sato, Masaru Watabiki

Patent number: 11208000Abstract: There is provided a vehicle comprising a power storage device; a connecting portion configured to be connectable with an external power source; a converter configured to be connected with the connecting portion and with the power storage device; and a control device configured to control the converter. When the external power source is connected with the connecting portion, the control device performs charging control to control the converter, such that electric power from the external power source is subjected to voltage conversion and is then supplied to the power storage device. On completion of charging of the power storage device, the control device starts a system by using electric power from the power storage device after disconnection of the converter from the external power source.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuya Ando, Takeaki Suzuki, Shinsuke Iwasaki, Miki Sugita, Yuko Asano
