Publication number: 20240295883Abstract: An operation management system including a computer configured to manage operations of registered mobilities. The computer stores road surface information in association with a position in map data based on at least a detection result of a surroundings monitoring device and positional information received from a measurement mobility. The computer stores, as a detail detection area, at least one of a poor detection area in the map data in which detection of the road surface information by the measurement mobility is poor and a predetermined area in the map data. The computer transmits, to the measurement mobility that is scheduled to travel or that is traveling the detail detection area, a speed change command, such that the measurement mobility, which travels at a normal command speed by automated driving, travels the detail detection area at a specific speed lower than the normal command speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2024Publication date: September 5, 2024Applicants: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Takahiro OKANO, Toru TAKASHIMA, Yusuke NOZAWA, Shun MIZOO, Takashi HIRANAKA, Kenta OSAGAWA, Shota KONISHI
