The device uses information about the target to be transported in each mode to adjust the dispatch schedule of the vehicle accordingly.

  • The task management device calculates the required maintenance time for a vehicle's internal environment before switching modes.
  • The calculation is based on information about the target to be transported in each mode.
  • The device adjusts the dispatch schedule of the vehicle according to the calculated maintenance time.

Potential Applications

  • Fleet management systems for transportation companies.
  • Autonomous vehicles that need to switch between different modes of operation.
  • Delivery services that require efficient scheduling and maintenance planning.

Problems Solved

  • Ensures that vehicles undergo necessary maintenance before switching modes.
  • Optimizes the dispatch schedule based on maintenance requirements.
  • Reduces the risk of breakdowns or malfunctions during operation.

Benefits

  • Improved reliability and performance of vehicles.
  • Minimized downtime due to maintenance needs.
  • Enhanced efficiency in scheduling and resource allocation.


Original Abstract Submitted

A task management device includes a control unit that calculates a required time for maintenance of an internal environment of at least one vehicle to be operated in a mode corresponding to an application before the mode of the at least one vehicle is switched from a first mode to a second mode based on information acquired from any one of a first target to be transported by the at least one vehicle in the first mode and a second target to be transported by the at least one vehicle in the second mode that is different from the first mode, and adjusts a dispatch schedule of the at least one vehicle in accordance with the required time calculated.
