Mobility information provision system, server, and vehicle

A mobility information provision system comprising:

• a server configured to collect, using a plurality of communication apparatuses provided for respective predetermined zones, field information including information about movement of a plurality of mobile bodies traveling on a road;
• and
• a controller provided for each of the mobile bodies and configured to:
• identify respective actual positions and respective predicted positions of the mobile bodies based on the collected field information;
• generate, based on the collected field information, a first diagram including i) a first axis indicating positional relationship among the mobile bodies within a first traveling lane of the road, ii) a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis, indicating time from a current time to a future time, and iii) lines respectively corresponding to the mobile bodies in the first traveling lane, each of the lines indicating a movement of a respective mobile body in the first lane from an actual position at the current time to a predicted position at the future time, a slope of each of the lines indicating a speed of the respective mobile body in the first lane;
• and
• control movement of corresponding one of the mobile bodies based on the generated first diagram,
• wherein the mobile bodies include i) an emergency mobile body traveling to respond to an emergency situation and ii) a non-emergency mobile body,
• wherein, i) when the emergency mobile body and the non-emergency mobile body are both traveling in a first traveling lane of a road in a first zone of the predetermined zones, ii) when the non-emergency mobile body is traveling ahead of the emergency mobile body, and iii) when a first diagram of the diagrams corresponding to the first traveling lane indicates that corresponding estimated positions of the non-emergency mobile body hinders traveling of the emergency mobile body, the controller determines whether the road includes a second traveling lane traveling in a same direction as the first traveling lane,
• wherein, in response to determining that the road includes the second traveling lane traveling in the same direction as the first traveling lane, the controller facilitates the non-emergency mobile body to change lanes from the first traveling lane to the second traveling lane, and
• wherein, in response to determining that the road does not include the second traveling lane, the controller facilitates the non-emergency mobile body to pull over to stop on a shoulder of the road.

A vehicle for a mobility information provision system, the mobility information provision system including:

• a server configured to:
• collect, using a plurality of communication apparatuses provided for respective predetermined zones, field information including information about movement of a plurality of mobile bodies traveling on a road;
• and
• generate, based on the collected field information, a first diagram including i) a first axis indicating positional relationship among the mobile bodies within a first traveling lane of the road, ii) a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis, indicating time from a current time to a future time, and iii) lines respectively corresponding to the mobile bodies in the first traveling lane, each of the lines indicating a movement of a respective mobile body in the first lane from an actual position at the current time to a predicted position at the future time, a slope of each of the lines indicating a speed of the respective mobile body in the first lane;
• and
• a controller provided for each of the mobile bodies and configured to control movement of corresponding one of the mobile bodies based on the generated first diagram,
• the vehicle comprising the controller,
• wherein the mobile bodies include i) an emergency mobile body traveling to respond to an emergency situation and ii) a non-emergency mobile body,
• wherein, i) when the emergency mobile body and the non-emergency mobile body are both traveling in a first traveling lane of a road in a first zone of the predetermined zones, ii) when the non-emergency mobile body is traveling ahead of the emergency mobile body, and iii) when a first diagram of the diagrams corresponding to the first traveling lane indicates that corresponding estimated positions of the non-emergency mobile body hinders traveling of the emergency mobile body, the server determines whether the road includes a second traveling lane traveling in a same direction as the first traveling lane,
• wherein, in response to determining that the road includes the second traveling lane traveling in the same direction as the first traveling lane, the controller facilitates the non-emergency mobile body to change lanes from the first traveling lane to the second traveling lane, and
• wherein, in response to determining that the road does not include the second traveling lane, the controller facilitates the non-emergency mobile body to pull over to stop on a shoulder of the road.
