Abstract

There is used a data flow control order generating apparatus that includes: a sensor side metadata acquisition unit acquiring sensor side metadata as information related to a sensor that outputs sensing data; an application side metadata acquisition unit acquiring application side metadata as information related to an application that provides a service by using the sensing data; a matching unit performing matching between the sensor side metadata and the application side metadata to extract the sensor capable of providing the sensing data that satisfies the request of the application; and an instruction unit transmitting a data flow control order that identifies the sensor extracted by the matching unit and the application to a sensor managing apparatus that manages the sensor.

Claims6

Dependent claims

A column travel generating apparatus for generating a column of vehicles, comprising:

a receiving unit for receiving, from Machine to Machine cloud server, information stored in a memory of the Machine to Machine cloud server, the information including a respective current position and a respective travel plan of each vehicle of a plurality of vehicles;
a column traveling generation processing unit for extracting, from the information received from the Machine to Machine cloud server, column traveling data including a column traveling group candidate, a column traveling section, and a column traveling time period;
an object generating unit for generating a column traveling control object for each of the column traveling data;
and
an order transmitting unit for transmitting an order to the vehicle for urging participation in the column, wherein
the column traveling control object transmits an order to request the signal operation to a signal managing apparatus.
