  When there is a space in the parking space SP of one of the surrounding parking facilities, the movement-related process execution unit 16 executes the following movement-related process. In the movement related processing, first, the movement related processing execution unit 16 requests the number acquisition unit 17 to acquire the available rental amount information. The available rental number information is information indicating the number of waiting vehicles for which a reservation for lending has not been made for each of the surrounding parking facilities for which there is a space in the parking space SP. For one parking facility T, the number of waiting vehicles for which a reservation for lending is not made means the number of shared vehicles that can be borrowed by the user at the current parking facility T.

  The number acquiring unit 17 notifies the central management unit 21 of the central management server 4 of the parking facility ID of the surrounding parking facility having a vacant space in the parking space SP in response to the request from the movement related processing execution unit 16 and lending it. Request a response of possible number information. In response to the response request, the central management unit 21 refers to the shared car management database DB1 and the parking facility management database DB2 corresponding to the notified parking facility ID, and the surrounding parking facility with a vacant parking space SP. For each of the above, the number of waiting vehicles not reserved for lending is recognized. The central management unit 21 generates the available rental amount information based on the recognition, and responds to the number acquisition unit 17. The number acquisition unit 17 receives and acquires the available rental number information that the central management unit 21 has responded to.

  The movement-related processing execution unit 16 determines that the number of waiting vehicles for which a reservation for lending is not made is the largest among the surrounding parking facilities with vacant spaces in the parking space SP based on the available rental quantity information acquired by the quantity acquisition unit 17. Identify less parking facilities T. When there are a plurality of parking facilities T in which the number of waiting vehicles is the smallest, the movement-related process execution unit 16 specifies the parking facility T closest to the parking facility T for which parking is desired among the parking facilities T. . Next, the movement-related processing execution unit 16 inquires of the central management unit 21 parking space position information indicating the position of any one parking space SP among the parking spaces SP that are vacant in the specified parking facility T. . Hereinafter, the parking facility T specified by the movement-related process execution unit 16 is referred to as “destination parking facility”, and the parking space SP for which the parking space position information has been acquired is referred to as “destination parking space”. Next, the movement related process execution unit 16 inquires of the central management unit 21 whether the parking desired vehicle has the automatic driving function, and based on the response to the inquiry, whether the parking desired vehicle has the automatic driving function or not judge.

  When the parking request vehicle has an automatic driving function, the movement related process execution unit 16 executes the following process. That is, the movement related process execution unit 16 inquires of the central management unit 21 and acquires communication related information of the movement target vehicle. As described above, the communication related information of the moving target vehicle includes information necessary to communicate with the on-vehicle device 5 mounted on the moving target vehicle. Thereafter, the movement related process execution unit 16 communicates with the in-vehicle device 5 mounted on the movement target vehicle using the acquired communication related information. Next, the movement related process execution unit 16 has parking space position information of the movement destination parking space, and uses target position data indicated by the parking space position information as a target position to indicate target position data instructing start of automatic driving to the target position. It produces | generates and transmits to the vehicle equipment 5 of a movement target vehicle.

  In response to the transmission of the target position data, the movement related process execution unit 16 notifies the notification unit 18 of information specifying the parking space SP on which the movement target vehicle parks. In the parking facility T according to the present embodiment, each parking space SP is assigned a unique number (hereinafter referred to as "parking space number") within the parking facility T, and the movement related process execution unit 16 The notification unit 18 is notified of the parking space number of the parking space SP in which the movement target vehicle parks. In the parking facility T, a parking space number allocated to each parking space SP is displayed in a prominent place near the entrance of each parking space SP.

  The automatic driving start instruction unit 31 of the in-vehicle device 5 receives and acquires the target position data. The automatic driving start instruction unit 31 generates a movement start instructing command having the parking space position information included in the target position data as the target position information indicating the target position based on the acquired target position data, and the automatic driving control device Output to 100. The automatic driving control apparatus 100 inputs a movement start instruction command, and moves the shared vehicle from the current position to the target position by automatic driving. As a result, the moving target vehicle moves away from the parked parking space SP which has been parked and moves toward the moving destination parking space of the moving destination parking facility, and the parking space SP in which the moving target vehicle is parked becomes empty. . Although the details are omitted, the movement to the target position by the automatic driving is appropriately performed after the route is calculated by the automatic driving control device 100.

  When the parking request vehicle does not have an automatic driving function, the movement related process execution unit 16 executes the following process. That is, the movement related process execution unit 16 acquires the parking space number of the movement destination parking space by a predetermined means. Next, the movement related process execution unit 16 instructs the person who has the authority to drive the standby vehicle waiting at the parking facility T and move it from the parking space (hereinafter referred to as “administrator” for convenience) Informs the parking space number of the parking space SP to be parked and the parking space number of the destination parking space. Notification to the manager may be performed by any method as long as the manager can recognize each parking space number. For example, in the case where a parking room T is provided in the parking facility T and a display device is provided in the standby room, the movement related process execution unit 16 sets each display device provided in the standby room to each other. Display the parking space number. In addition, for example, when the voice output device is provided in the parking facility T, the movement related process execution unit 16 uses voice output devices to notify each parking space number by voice. Also, for example, the movement related process execution unit 16 notifies each portable terminal owned by the manager of each parking space number by e-mail or other means.

  When the manager is notified of the parking space number of the parking space SP where the moving object vehicle parks and the parking space number of the moving destination parking space, the administrator drives the moving object vehicle and It is supposed to be moved to the destination parking space. Therefore, when receiving the notification from the movement related process execution unit 16, the manager drives the movement target vehicle and moves it to the movement destination parking space of the movement destination parking facility. As a result, the moving target vehicle moves away from the parked parking space SP which has been parked and moves toward the moving destination parking space of the moving destination parking facility, and the parking space SP in which the moving target vehicle is parked becomes empty. .

  In response to the notification to the manager of the parking space number, the movement-related process execution unit 16 notifies the notification unit 18 of the parking space number of the parking space SP in which the vehicle to be moved is parked.

  The central management server 4, the parking management device 2 corresponding to the parking facility T for which parking is desired, and the parking management device 2 corresponding to the destination parking facility cooperate with each other to move the moving target vehicle to the destination It may be configured such that the shared car is not parked in the destination parking space before arriving at the parking facility. As an example, the parking management device 2 corresponding to the parking facility T for which the parking request has been made via the central management server 4 to the parking management device 2 corresponding to the movement destination parking facility, the parking space ID of the movement destination parking space To notify. Based on the notification, the parking management device 2 corresponding to the destination parking facility notifies the administrator of the parking space number of the destination parking space, and the manager shares the other shared parking destination with the destination parking space. Make the car not park.

  As described above, the movement related process execution unit 16 has no space in the parking space SP of the parking facility T around the corresponding parking facility T, and can not move the moving target vehicle to the surrounding parking facility T. Except for the movement related processing, the movement target vehicle is moved from the parking space SP, and the parking space SP is made idle. Here, the movement target vehicle is a standby vehicle with the largest remaining battery charge among the standby vehicles for which the reservation for lending is not made. Therefore, the moving target vehicle is suitable as a standby vehicle that consumes the battery and moves it to the destination parking facility. In addition, the movement related process execution unit 16 determines whether the battery remaining amount of the movement target vehicle identified by the identification unit 13 is sufficiently remaining to the extent necessary to reach the movement destination parking facility. If not remaining, it is of course possible to notify the notification unit 18 that the waiting vehicle can not be moved from the parking space SP without executing the movement related processing. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when it is necessary to charge the battery of the parking desired vehicle, the standby vehicle parked in the parking space SP provided with the charging facility Q is regarded as a candidate for the standby vehicle to be moved. It becomes possible to park the vehicle in the parking space SP provided with the charging facility Q. For this reason, once the parking request vehicle is parked in the parking space SP or the like where there is no charging facility Q, the administrator moves the vehicle to the parking space SP where the charging facility Q is provided. It is convenient for car sharing providers without doing it.

  The notification unit 18 executes different processing according to the content of the notification received from the movement related process execution unit 16. That is, when the notification unit 18 receives from the movement related process execution unit 16 a notification that the standby vehicle can not be moved from the parking space SP, the notification unit 18 executes the following process. That is, the notification unit 18 transmits predetermined drawing data to the dedicated application execution unit 50 of the user terminal 3, there is no space in the parking space SP, and the standby vehicle parked in the parking space SP can not be moved. In order to display information indicating that it is necessary to wait for a while.

  On the other hand, when the notification unit 18 receives a notification of the parking space number of the parking space SP on which the movement target vehicle parks from the movement related process execution unit 16, the notification unit 18 executes the following process. That is, the notification unit 18 transmits predetermined drawing data to the dedicated application execution unit 50 of the user terminal 3 to display the parking space number, and the parking space SP of the displayed parking space number is immediately idled. Display information to indicate that By referring to the information displayed on the user terminal 3, the user can quickly recognize the parking space SP in an idle state, and quickly park the shared car rented by the user in the parking space SP. be able to.
