Abstract: An information processing apparatus configured to determine a tour schedule around a facility, the information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to determine a tour time at a tour spot in the tour schedule, based on biological information on a user who is observing a process performed by equipment at the tour spot in the facility.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus configured to determine a travel route for a vehicle traveling in a facility, the information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to determine the travel route for the vehicle based on operation information on disaster prevention equipment installed in the facility and/or first image information including an image of a passageway in the facility, the image being captured by an imaging apparatus installed in the facility, and vehicle position information indicating a position of the vehicle, and a communication interface configured to transmit, to the vehicle, travel route information indicating the travel route.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to manage operation of a vehicle traveling in a facility. The controller is configured to determine a tour schedule to allow users touring the facility to be on board the vehicle so that a visible range to the users is limited based on an attribute of the users, and control the vehicle based on the tour schedule.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to manage operation of a vehicle traveling in a facility. The controller is configured to generate a transportation schedule to cause the vehicle to transport components to be used in the facility and a tour schedule to allow users touring the facility to be on board the vehicle. The controller is configured to run the vehicle based on the transportation schedule and the tour schedule.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an interface configured to acquire route state information representing a state of a point through which at least one travel route of at least one work vehicle passes, and a controller configured to determine a travel route of the work vehicle based on the route state information and output the determined travel route to the work vehicle.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus autonomously determines a pick-up location for an on-demand bus. The information processing apparatus has a controller configured to determine a first location that is not predicted to be crowded with people as the pick-up location based on a user's preferred pick-up location and first information related to locations within the operation area of the on-demand bus that are predicted to be crowded with people. The controller of the information processing apparatus selects the first location thus determined as the pick-up location for the on-demand bus.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to manage a status of a work vehicle. The controller is configured to determine whether the work vehicle is unable to travel based on information about the work vehicle, and provide notification, to a notification target, that the work vehicle is unable to travel in a case in which the work vehicle is determined to be unable to travel.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a controller configured to execute: transmitting user information to one or more user apparatuses associated with one or more first users, the user information being information related to the one or more first users who intend to board a bus operated on demand from a first point set as a boarding and alighting point for the bus.

Abstract: A task management device includes a control unit that executes, when satisfaction of a specific condition is detected during a period in which a vehicle to be operated in a mode corresponding to an application is operated in a first mode, operation start control to start an operation of the vehicle in a second mode that is different from the first mode before a schedule end time of the period.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is a computer carried by a first user who is arranged to get on an on-demand bus. The information processing apparatus includes a display device and a controller. The controller of the information processing apparatus creates an AR image by superimposing a first virtual image on a first real image obtained by photographing a first real scene at the position corresponding to the pick-up location for the first user in it. The first virtual image is a virtual image of a bus stop. Then, the controller causes the display apparatus to display the AR image thus created.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires position information of a user terminal, and causes the user terminal to issue a first notification by audio or vibration in a case where a distance between a first point where a user of the user terminal is to get on board a vehicle provided for a predetermined service and the user terminal falls to or below a first distance, the first notification indicating that the first point is getting closer. The information processing apparatus causes the user terminal to issue a second notification by audio or vibration in a case where the distance between the first point and the user terminal falls to or below a second distance that is smaller than the first distance, the second notification indicating that the first point is getting closer.

Abstract: A controller of an information processing apparatus is configured to control a vehicle to drive automatically by communicating with the vehicle via a communication interface, the vehicle being capable of towing a work vehicle and of driving automatically on public roads.
