Publication number: 20240240950Abstract: A route searching device may obtain map information including a plurality of roads. The route searching device may determine a reference position and a destination on the map information. The route searching device may determine a restricting condition for a mobile body to travel by departing from the reference position and reaching the destination. The route searching device may search a route from the reference position to the destination satisfying the restricting condition. The route searching device may identify a predetermined road from among the plurality of roads. The predetermined road may be a road on which the mobile body has travelled or which has been selected as the route before in the past. The route searching device may search the route such that a percentage at which the identified predetermined road is included in the route becomes low.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: July 18, 2024Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA CHUO KENKYUSHOInventors: Keisuke OTAKI, Tomosuke MAEDA, Hiroyuki SAKAI, Takayoshi YOSHIMURA

Patent number: 11694554Abstract: A controller of an information processing apparatus disclosed obtains first information about a tendency of move of a user staying in a specific facility. The controller forecasts, on the basis of the first information, an expected destination of move to which the user will move from the specific facility and an expected time slot of move during which the user will start to move from the specific facility to the expected destination of move. The controller calculates the number of users who are expected to move from the specific facility to the expected destination of move in each expected time slot of move on a slot-by-slot basis.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA IIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yoshinao Ishii, Keiichiro Hayakawa, Takayoshi Yoshimura, Takahiro Shiga, Ayano Okoso, Tomoki Nishi, Keisuke Otaki
