Information processing device and operation system
The information processing device performs searching for a route including a plurality of target points and a target charging location, and generating an operation plan such that electrified vehicle is operated according to the route in each of a first operation period set prior to the prohibited time period and a second operation period set after the prohibited time period. Electrified vehicle operation is prohibited during the prohibited time period. The information processing device sets, for the operation plan, a charging period in which electrified vehicle is charged at the target charging location such that a starting time of the charging period is earlier than a prohibited time period and an ending time of the charging period is later than a prohibited time period or a prohibited time period.
1 . An operation system, comprising:
a server; and
an electrified vehicle including
an inlet configured to be connected to a connector of a charge cable of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE),
an electronic control unit implemented by a processor, and
a human-machine interface (HMI), the HMI including a touch panel display and a car navigation system, wherein:
the server is configured to
search for a route including a plurality of target points and a target charging location,
generate an operation plan for the electrified vehicle in such a manner that the electrified vehicle is operated according to the route in each of a first operation period and a second operation period, the first operation period being set to be before a prohibited time period during which operations of the electrified vehicle are prohibited, and the second operation period being set to be after the prohibited time period,
set, for the operation plan, a charging period in such a manner that a start time of the charging period is before the prohibited time period and an end time of the charging period is during the prohibited time period, the charging period being a period in which the electrified vehicle is charged at the target charging location, and
send the generated operation plan to the electrified vehicle; and
the processor is configured to
detect connection of the inlet of the electrified vehicle to the connector of the charge cable of the EVSE installed at the target charging location, in a case where a determination is made that a start time of the prohibited time period has not arrived,
cause the touch panel display to display a first screen in response to the connection of the inlet of the electrified vehicle to the connector of the charge cable of the EVSE, the first screen including a current time, the start time and an end time of the prohibited time period, and a countdown of a remaining time until the start time of the prohibited time period,
determine whether the start time of the prohibited time period indicated in the operation plan received from the server has arrived,
cause the touch panel display to display a second screen in a case where a determination is made that the start time of the prohibited time period has arrived, the second screen including a message prompting a driver of the electrified vehicle to take a rest,
determine whether the end time of the prohibited time period indicated in the operation plan has arrived,
cause the touch panel display to display a third screen in a case where a determination is made that the end time of the prohibited time period has arrived, the third screen including a first icon indicating completion of the rest and a second icon indicating incompletion of the rest,
detect an input by the driver to the first icon and the second icon,
transmit a first notification indicating that the driver has taken the rest to the server in response to detecting the input to the first icon, and
transmit a second notification indicating that the driver has not taken the rest to the server in response to detecting the input to the second icon.
2 . The operation system according to claim 1 , wherein the server is further configured to
change the operation plan in response to receiving the second notification, and
transmit the changed operation plan to the electrified vehicle.
3 . The operation system according to claim 1 , wherein
the first screen and the second screen each further include a charging status of the electrified vehicle,
the second screen further includes a message notifying the driver that charging is completed during the rest, and
the third screen further includes a message notifying the driver that the end time of the prohibited time period has arrived.
4 . The operation system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to
determine whether a charging preparation time has arrived in a case where the connection is not detected, the charging preparation time being a predetermined time before the start time of the charging period indicated in the operation plan, and
cause the touch panel display to display a fourth screen in a case where a determination is made that the charging preparation time has arrived, the fourth screen including a message prompting the driver to head to the target charging location.
5 . The operation system according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to
detect an input by the driver to the fourth screen, and
cause the car navigation system to display the target charging location on a map in response to detecting the input by the driver to the fourth screen.
6 . The operation system according to claim 1 , wherein the electrified vehicle is configured to be operated by autonomous driving according to the operation plan.
