  • Patent number: 12291113
    Abstract: A processor obtains power reception information including information on a power reception form of a power reception apparatus of each of a plurality of vehicles. The processor obtains power transmission information including information on a power transmission form of a power transmission apparatus available on a travel path through which each of the plurality of vehicles can travel. The processor selects as a vehicle to be dispatched from among the plurality of vehicles, a vehicle that can receive electric power from the power transmission apparatus on the travel path, based on the power reception information and the power transmission information.

  • Patent number: 12264925
    Abstract: A server includes a communication device and a processor. From a user terminal, the communication device acquires a vehicle dispatch request including information indicating a vehicle dispatch location and a destination of a vehicle. When the communication device acquires the vehicle dispatch request, the processor determines a traveling route of the vehicle from a current location of the vehicle to the destination via the vehicle dispatch location in accordance with the vehicle dispatch request. The processor determines a route from the current location to the vehicle dispatch location such that an amount of power storage in a power storage device at the vehicle dispatch location is larger than an amount of electric power with which the vehicle can travel from the vehicle dispatch location to the destination.

  • Publication number: 20230057789
    Abstract: A wireless power transfer system includes a first power transmission unit, a second power transmission unit, a power reception unit, a sensing unit, and an ECU. The first power transmission unit is provided in a parking space. The second power transmission unit is provided in a traveling lane for a vehicle. The sensing unit senses a sensing target in a sensing region set around the vehicle. When the sensing unit senses the sensing target, the ECU reduces electric power transmitted from the first power transmission unit or the second power transmission unit that is transmitting electric power to the vehicle. The ECU sets the sensing region to be larger when the power reception unit receives electric power from the first power transmission unit than when the power reception unit receives electric power from the second power transmission unit.

  • Publication number: 20230021364
    Abstract: An ECU of a vehicle performs processing including transmitting a power feeding request during traveling along a power feeding lane, transmitting a vehicle ID when the vehicle is determined as having deviated from the power feeding lane, and transmitting the vehicle ID again when the vehicle is determined as having returned to the power feeding lane. A management server performs processing including starting power feeding when it receives the power feeding request, storing the received vehicle ID, stopping power feeding, and resuming power feeding when it receives again the vehicle ID and when the received vehicle ID matches with the stored vehicle ID.
