  • Publication number: 20230419214
    Abstract: A vehicle allocation management apparatus include: an acquisition unit that acquires parameter information on an automatic store desired by a user and location information on the user; an automatic store extraction unit that extracts, as a candidate automatic store to be allocated to the user, an automatic store with a predetermined positional relationship with the user based on the parameter and location information; and an automatic store determination unit that allocates, to the user, one candidate automatic store selected by the user from the candidate automatic stores. The parameter information includes information on a genre and/or a type of the automatic store, and the automatic store extraction unit further determines predetermined times for the genre and the type as the predetermined positional relationship, and extracts, as the candidate automatic store, the automatic store that can arrive at a place near a current location of the user within the predetermined time.
