Publication number: 20240310178Abstract: An operation route updating device updates an operation route of a mobile object loaded with a package. A score calculation unit calculates a package score that quantifies fragility of the package based on package information representing a state of the package while the mobile object is traveling on the operation route. The score calculation unit further calculates a route score that quantifies a shaking degree of the mobile object on a scheduled operation route based on surrounding area information representing an environment and a road situation of a surrounding area of the scheduled operation route in the operation route. When the package score is equal to or greater than a first set value, a route updating unit creates the scheduled operation route with the route score of less than a second set value, and updates the operation route with the scheduled operation route that has been created.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2024Publication date: September 19, 2024Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Shunya Osawa, Keigo Kawashima, Masato Tsuchiya, Satoru Furuta
