  • Patent number: 12049163
    Abstract: A control apparatus is a control apparatus that is communicably connected to a first vehicle and a second vehicle, the control apparatus including a controller configured to: identify the first vehicle as a transfer destination for a luggage item stored in the second vehicle; read a targeted relative relationship between the second vehicle and the first vehicle; control the second vehicle based on the targeted relative relationship; and when a difference between the targeted relative relationship and an actual relative relationship is within an allowable range, convey the luggage item from the second vehicle to the first vehicle using a conveyer of the first vehicle or the second vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10461541
    Abstract: In a solar power generation control device, a memory stores an output voltage at which maximum power is obtained, for each illuminance on a panel surface of a solar panel, acquisition circuitry acquires a vehicle speed, a present illuminance on the panel surface, and first information indicating an illuminance in a prescribed area ahead of a vehicle, and calculation circuitry calculates a predicted illuminance on the panel surface, which is an illuminance after a lapse of a prescribed length of time, based on the first information and the vehicle speed. When determining that an absolute value of a difference between first and second output voltages, at which maximum powers are obtained respectively at the present and predicted illuminances, exceeds a prescribed threshold, control circuitry makes correction such that an output voltage of the solar panel coincides with the second output voltage upon the lapse of the prescribed length of time.
