Abstract

A parking lot management device which manages a parking lot for accommodating a vehicle and stops the vehicle at a predetermined accommodation position in the parking lot, includes a priority assigning unit which assigns a priority to each of a plurality of moving bodies traveling in the parking lot according to an order in which each vehicle is traveled. The priority assigning unit assigns the priority to each vehicle according to a moving destination of each vehicle in the parking lot.

Claims (29)

1. An accommodation area management device configured to manage an accommodation area for accommodating a moving body and configured to stop the moving body at a predetermined accommodation position in the accommodation area, comprising:

a priority assigning unit configured to assign a priority to each of a plurality of moving bodies traveling in the accommodation area according to an order in which each moving body is traveled, wherein

the priority assigning unit assigns the priority to each moving body according to a moving destination of each moving body in the accommodation area,

the priority assigning unit gives a highest priority to the moving body which moves toward the moving destination to leave the accommodation area and a lowest priority to the moving body which moves toward the moving destination to change the accommodation position to another accommodation position in the accommodation area, and

the priority assigning unit does not assign a priority to a moving body whose traveling path in the accommodation area does not interfere with other moving bodies.

2. The accommodation area management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the priority assigning unit causes the moving body which moves toward the moving destination to change the accommodation position to another accommodation position in the accommodation area to stand by without traveling before heading to the destination when there are a predetermined number or more of the moving bodies which moves toward the moving destination to leave the accommodation area and the moving bodies which moves toward the moving destination to enter into the accommodation area.

3. The accommodation area management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the priority assigning unit raises the priority of the moving body which moves toward the moving destination to change the accommodation position to another accommodation position in the accommodation area when the moving body which moves toward the moving destination to enter into the accommodation area stops at the accommodation position of the moving body which moves toward the moving destination to change the accommodation position to another accommodation position in the accommodation area.

4. The accommodation area management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the priority assigning unit temporarily retracts a moving body having a low priority to a predetermined stop frame when a plurality of moving bodies are traveled and the moving body having a low priority interferes with traveling of a moving body having a high priority.

5. The accommodation area management device according to claim 4 , wherein

the priority assigning unit preferentially selects a stop frame which does not require steering input when retracting the moving body as the predetermined stop frame.

6. The accommodation area management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the priority assigning unit assigns the priority to each moving body for each partial area in the accommodation area.

7. The accommodation area management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of moving bodies concurrently travel in a convoy within the accommodation area.

8. The accommodation area management device according to claim 7 , wherein

an order of the plurality of moving bodies in the convoy is formed according to priorities assigned to the moving bodies based on a respective set movement performance that is preset for each moving body.

9. The accommodation area management device according to claim 7 , wherein

the priorities of the plurality of moving bodies are set in order to allow the traveling order of the moving bodies traveling in the convoy within the accommodation area to be determined according to the respective moving destination of each moving body.

10. The accommodation area management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the priorities of the plurality of moving bodies are set in order to allow the traveling order of the moving bodies traveling in the accommodation area to be determined according to the respective moving destination of each moving body.

11. An accommodation area management device configured to manage an accommodation area for accommodating a moving body and configured to stop the moving body at a predetermined accommodation position in the accommodation area, comprising:

a priority assigning unit configured to assign a priority to each of a plurality of moving bodies traveling in the accommodation area according to an order in which each moving body is traveled, wherein

the priority assigning unit assigns the priority to each moving body according to a moving destination of each moving body in the accommodation area,

the priority assigning unit gives a highest priority to the moving body which moves toward the moving destination to leave the accommodation area and a lowest priority to the moving body which moves toward the moving destination to change the accommodation position to another accommodation position in the accommodation area,

the plurality of moving bodies concurrently travel in a convoy within the accommodation area, and

an order of the plurality of moving bodies in the convoy is formed according to priorities assigned to the moving bodies based on a respective set movement performance that is preset for each moving body.
