- the user can set an arbitrary point such as a railway station or a commercial facility as a departure place and a destination.
- the user U2 is a user who can use the shared vehicle V1 similarly to the user U1.
- the user U1 and the user U2 are members registered as a user.
- the user U2 operates the user terminal device 400B and transmits a vehicle request to the shared vehicle management device 100.
- Shared vehicle management apparatus 100 selects a shared vehicle Vn that meets the vehicle request of user U2.
- the shared vehicle to be the selection candidate is not limited to the shared vehicle Vn not used by other users (shared vehicle Vn not reserved), and the shared vehicle Vn currently used by other users (currently other shared vehicles)
- the shared vehicle Vn on which the user is riding is also included. That is, in the case where the user U2 gets on the shared vehicle Vn used by the user U1, it is shared ride.

- shared vehicle management apparatus 100 Since shared vehicle management apparatus 100 is changed to a situation where user U1 and user U2 jointly use shared vehicle V1 from a situation where user U1 alone uses shared vehicle V1, the travel plan of shared vehicle V1 is shared The travel route R1 with no share is changed to the travel route R2 with share. The scheduled arrival time of the user U1 to the destination is delayed as the travel route is changed.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a control flow of the control device 10 of the shared vehicle management device 100.
- step S101 the control device 10 communicates with the user terminal device 400A, and acquires a vehicle request from the user.
- the vehicle request is a lot of information set by the user when using the shared vehicle Vn.
- the vehicle request may include a riding position, a getting off position, a desired time of getting in, a desired time of getting off, and the like.
- the boarding position and the getting-off position are, for example, positions set by the user on a map displayed on the display device 430 of the user terminal device 400A.
- the boarding position and the getting-off position are indicated, for example, by latitude and longitude.
- the boarding position and the getting-off position may be set in area units, for example, around Yokohama Station.
- the desired boarding time and the desired time of getting off are not limited to a specific time, and may be set, for example, in a time zone from 8 am to 9 am.
- the vehicle request may not necessarily include the desired travel time or the desired travel time. For example, if the user requests that he / she wants to get on the shared vehicle Vn as soon as possible, the vehicle request does not include the desired riding time.
- the vehicle request may include the presence or absence of a request for sharing. For example, if the usage charge of shared vehicle Vn at the time of sharing is lower than the usage charge at the time of sharing, in order to enable the user to request sharing when the use of shared vehicle Vn is requested, The vehicle request includes the presence or absence of a request for sharing.
- step S102 the control device 10 specifies available vehicles from the plurality of shared vehicles Vn based on the vehicle request acquired from the user.
- Control device 10 selects shared vehicle Vn that meets the vehicle request. For example, control device 10 selects shared vehicle Vn closest to the riding position set in the vehicle request as an available vehicle candidate. If the vehicle request includes the boarding position and the desired boarding time, the control device 10 determines whether the shared vehicle Vn can arrive at the boarding position by the desired boarding time. When it is determined that the shared vehicle Vn can arrive at the boarding position by the desired boarding time, the control device 10 determines that the shared vehicle Vn can be used. If the shared vehicle Vn can be used, the control device 10 executes the control process of step S103. If the shared vehicle Vn can not be used, that is, if the shared vehicle Vn meeting the vehicle request can not be identified, the control device 10 executes the control process of step S105.
- step S103 the control device 10 calculates and sets a travel plan based on the vehicle request.
- the travel plan is determined by the position coordinates of the boarding position, the position coordinates of the getting-off position, the traveling route of the selected shared vehicle Vn, the scheduled departure time at the getting-in position, and the expected arrival time at the getting-off position.
- the scheduled departure time corresponds to the scheduled arrival time of the user
- the scheduled arrival time corresponds to the scheduled arrival time of the user.
- the control device 10 calculates a travel route to the boarding position set by the user by performing route calculation from the boarding position to the getting-off position.
- “set a travel plan” means “calculate a travel plan and then set the calculated travel plan”.
- step S104 using the communication device 420, the control device 10 transmits reservation completion information including the travel plan to the user terminal device 400.
- the reservation completion information includes the vehicle information selected in the control process of step S102 and information indicating that the reservation of shared vehicle V1 is completed.
- the available shared vehicle Vn also referred to as a utilized vehicle specified in step S102 is referred to as shared vehicle V1.

- the vehicle stoppable time T t indicates the time when the vehicle can stop at a specific place, as defined by law.
- the vehicle stoppable time Tt is a time that differs depending on the type of the road and the type of the place where the vehicle stops or stops. For example, in the case of a road in Japan where vehicles can pass, the vehicle stoppable time Tt is "within 5". Further, for example, in the case of a roadside zone of a road such as a place for a taxi to stand by (a so-called taxi standby place), the vehicle stoppable time Tt is "within 30 minutes".

For example, the control device 10 determines whether or not a request for canceling a reservation has been made according to whether or not information for canceling the reservation has been received via the user terminal device 400A. If the request to cancel the reservation can not be confirmed, the process proceeds to step S407. On the contrary, if the request for reservation cancellation can be confirmed, the process proceeds to step S422.

If the vehicle waitable time T is longer than the vehicle stoppable time Tt , that is, if the set waiting time is longer than the legally prescribed stoppable time, the process proceeds to step S418. Conversely, if the vehicle waiting time T is equal to or less than the vehicle stopping time T t , that is, if the set waiting time is equal to or less than the legally prescribed stopping time, the process proceeds to step S419.
- step S4108 the control device 10 sets the vehicle standby time T w to the vehicle stoppable time T t acquired in step S405.
