VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17980612 titled 'VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a vehicle management system designed to improve the efficiency of transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicles. The system includes a matching unit that matches personally owned vehicles with the autonomous vehicles based on their operation schedules and the ability of the personally owned vehicle to tow the autonomous vehicle on certain routes.

  • The vehicle management system aims to enhance the operational efficiency of transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicles.
  • The system includes a matching unit that performs matching between personally owned vehicles and autonomous vehicles.
  • Matching is done based on the operation schedules of the vehicles and the ability of the personally owned vehicle to tow the autonomous vehicle on specific routes.
  • The system utilizes two databases, one for personally owned vehicles and their operation schedules, and another for autonomous vehicles and their operation schedules.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various industries that rely on transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicles, such as logistics, delivery services, and public transportation.
  • It can be used to optimize the allocation of vehicles and improve the overall efficiency of transportation operations.

Problems Solved

  • The system addresses the challenge of efficiently managing and coordinating transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicles.
  • It solves the problem of finding suitable personally owned vehicles that can assist in towing the autonomous vehicles on specific routes.
  • The system streamlines the process of matching vehicles and operation schedules, reducing manual effort and potential errors.

Benefits

  • Improved operational efficiency of transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicles.
  • Optimal allocation of vehicles based on their capabilities and operation schedules.
  • Reduction in manual effort and potential errors in the vehicle matching process.


Original Abstract Submitted

To provide a vehicle management system, a vehicle management method, and a program each adapted to improve operational efficiency of a transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicle. A vehicle management system includes: a matching unit configured to perform matching, by referring to a first database in which a personally owned vehicle and an operation schedule of the personally owned vehicle are registered and a second database in which a transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicle and an operation schedule of the transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicle are registered, of the personally owned vehicle with the transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicle when the personally owned vehicle is able to tow the transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicle on at least a part of a traveling route of the transportation work-purpose autonomous traveling vehicle.
