Driverless transportation system
A driverless transportation system includes a management server, and first and second autonomous driving vehicles. The first autonomous driving vehicle accesses a first destination and generates use difficulty information on a use difficulty of a first destination. The second autonomous driving vehicle accesses a second destination identical to the first destination or near the first destination. One of a management server and the second autonomous driving vehicle acquires the use difficulty information generated by the management server or the first autonomous driving vehicle. When the use difficulty is equal to or higher than a threshold, the one of the management server and the second autonomous driving vehicle proposes changing a destination of the second autonomous driving vehicle to a user.
1. A driverless transportation system that provides a driverless transportation service, the driverless transportation system comprising:
a management server; and
a plurality of autonomous driving vehicles configured to perform communication with the management server, the autonomous driving vehicles including a first autonomous driving vehicle and a second autonomous driving vehicle,
the first autonomous driving vehicle being an autonomous driving vehicle that accesses a first destination to pick up a first user or to allow the first user to get off, the first autonomous driving vehicle being configured to generate use difficulty information on a use difficulty of the first destination in association with the first destination, wherein the use difficulty is calculated based on any one of i) a time needed for the pickup or getting-off of the first user, ii) a redoing frequency of processing for picking up the first user or allowing the first user to get off, and iii) a result of localization, the first autonomous driving vehicle being configured to send the use difficulty information to the management server,
the second autonomous driving vehicle being an autonomous driving vehicle that accesses a second destination identical to the first destination or near the first destination to pick up a second user or to allow the second user to get off,
the management server being configured to store the use difficulty information,
one of the management server and the second autonomous driving vehicle being configured to acquire the use difficulty information from one of the management server and the first autonomous driving vehicle, when the second autonomous driving vehicle accesses the second destination after the first autonomous driving vehicle has accessed the first destination, and
the one of the management server and the second autonomous driving vehicle being configured to propose changing a destination of the second autonomous driving vehicle to the second user when the use difficulty is equal to or higher than a threshold.
2. The driverless transportation system according to claim 1 , wherein the second autonomous driving vehicle is configured to travel toward a third destination when the destination of the second autonomous driving vehicle is changed from the second destination to the third destination.
3. The driverless transportation system according to claim 2 , wherein the second autonomous driving vehicle is configured to start traveling toward the second destination before the destination of the second autonomous driving vehicle is changed.
4. The driverless transportation system according to claim 1 , wherein the one of the second autonomous driving vehicle and the management server is configured to delay a timing of starting charging to the second user in a case where the destination of the second autonomous driving vehicle is changed when the second autonomous driving vehicle picks up the second use.
