[0060]
If there is a occupant who will yield the seat (step S607, Yes), guidance information on the seat including the position information of the vacant seat is output to the display device 15, and the seat is notified to the seat occupant (step S608). Then, it is checked whether all the seating applicants are seated and whether the number of seating applicants becomes 0 (step S609).
[0061]
If the number of seating applicants is 0 (step S609, Yes), the seat securing processing is terminated. If there are still seating applicants (step S609, No), the number of vacant seats is checked based on the information transmitted from the seat sensor 14 (step S610). This is to confirm the vacant seat when the occupant opens the seat without bringing the IC card close to the occupant IC card reader 13.
[0062]
If there is no occupant who gives up the seat in step S607 (step S607, No), the process proceeds to step S610, and the number of vacant seats is checked based on the information transmitted from the seat sensor 14.
[0063]
Subsequently, it is checked whether or not the number of vacant seats is equal to or greater than the number of seating applicants (step S611). If the number of vacant seats is equal to or greater than the number of seating applicants (step S611, Yes), the seat including the vacant seat position information is determined. Is output to the display device 15 to notify the seating applicant of the seat (step S612).

This is determined by whether or not information transmitted by the occupant IC card reader 13 has been received when the occupant who intends to give up the seat brings his / her IC card close to the occupant IC card reader 13. Is done.
[0072]
If there is a occupant who will give up the seat (step S706, Yes), guidance information of the seat including the position information of the vacant seat is output to the display device 15, and the seat is notified to the seating applicant (step S707). Then, it is checked whether all the seating applicants are seated and whether the number of seating applicants has become 0 (step S708).
[0073]
If the number of seating applicants is 0 (step S708, Yes), the seat securing processing is terminated. If there are still seating applicants (step S708, No), the number of vacant seats is checked based on the information transmitted from the seat sensor 14 (step S709). This is to confirm the vacant seat when the occupant opens the seat without bringing the IC card close to the occupant IC card reader 13.
[0074]
If there is no occupant who gives up the seat in step S706 (step S706, No), the process proceeds to step S709, and the number of vacant seats is checked based on the information transmitted from the seat sensor 14.
[0075]
Subsequently, it is checked whether or not the number of vacant seats is equal to or greater than the number of seating applicants (step S710). If the number of vacant seats is equal to or greater than the number of seating applicants (step S710, Yes), the seat including the vacant seat position information is determined. Is output to the display device 15 to notify the seating applicant of the seat (step S717).
[0076]
If the number of vacant seats is smaller than the number of seating applicants (step S710, No), it is checked whether or not the process of giving a notification prompting to give up a seat in step S705 is the first process (step S711).
[0077]
If it is the first time (step S711, Yes), the process moves to step S705, and the processes from step S705 to step S711 are executed again. Thereby, even when there is no occupant who gives up the seat in the first notification, it is possible to increase the possibility that the occupant who gives up the seat appears by giving the second notification.
[0078]
If the process of notifying the user to give up the seat in step S705 is not the first process (step S711, No), the priority is 3 or more searched in step S704 with reference to the passenger information 164b. Then, the passengers whose number of stops to the disembarkation scheduled place is within 2 are extracted in ascending order of priority (step S712).
[0079]
Then, a notification prompting the user to give up the seat is output to the display device 15, and the extracted passenger is notified to give up the seat. In addition, an e-mail is transmitted to the mobile phone 17 of the extracted passenger to notify that the seat should be given. (Step S713).
[0080]
Next, it is checked whether or not there is a seated person who gives up the seat (step S714). This is determined by whether or not information transmitted by the occupant IC card reader 13 has been received when the occupant who intends to give up the seat brings his / her IC card close to the occupant IC card reader 13. Is done.
[0081]
If there is a occupant who gives up the seat (step S714, Yes), guidance information of the seat including the position information of the vacant seat is output to the display device 15, and the seat is notified to the seat occupant (step S715).
