Abstract: A vehicle allocation system is provided, which operates to move a vehicle to a predetermined point in response to a request from a user. The vehicle allocation system includes a boarding point determination apparatus, a control apparatus, and a user terminal apparatus. The boarding point determination apparatus includes a processor that operates to specify a second user who is expected to board in a predetermined range including a point associated with a first user, and calculate as the predetermined point a common point at which users including at least the first user and the second user board.

Abstract: An alighting point determination method is used in a vehicle allocation system configured to move a vehicle to a predetermined point in response to a request from a user. The vehicle allocation system includes a processor. The processor operates to: set a predetermined range including a point associated with a first user; specify a second user who is expected to alight in the predetermined range; acquire a request point included in the request from each user; calculate an access cost for each user to reach the request point from a common point at which the users including at least the first user and the second user alight; and calculate as the predetermined point the common point obtained based on the calculated access cost for each of the first user and the second user.

Abstract: A vehicle allocation system is provided, which operates to move a vehicle to a predetermined point in response to a request from a user. The vehicle allocation system includes a boarding/alighting point determination apparatus, a control apparatus, and a user terminal apparatus. The boarding/alighting point determination apparatus includes a processor that operates to specify a second user who is expected to board/alight in a predetermined range including a point associated with a first user, and calculate as the predetermined point a common point at which users including at least the first user and the second user board/alight.
