Server device, operation management system, program, vehicle, and operation management method

A vehicle, comprising:

• a communication unit configured to communicate with a server device, wherein the server device is configured to receive, from a plurality of terminal devices, information indicating a plurality of boarding points at which a user of each of the plurality of terminal devices requested to board the vehicle;
• and
• a control unit configured to
• receive, through the communication unit, from the server device, operation information on a route via a nearby region of each of a plurality of boarding points, wherein the route satisfies a predetermined condition, and
• output an instruction for causing the vehicle to travel along the route, wherein
• the server device is configured to
• determine the route, wherein among the plurality of boarding points, a boarding point that is separated by at least a predetermined distance from other boarding points is excluded from the route, and
• execute a process of giving an incentive to the user who moved from the excluded boarding point to, among the plurality of boarding points, one of boarding points other than the excluded boarding point to board the vehicle.

An operation management method of a vehicle by a system including a server device and the vehicle communicating with the server device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the server device from a plurality of terminal devices, information indicating a plurality of boarding points at which a user of each of the plurality of terminal devices requested to board the vehicle;
• determining, by the server device, a route via a nearby region of each of the plurality of boarding points, wherein
• the route satisfies a predetermined condition, and
• among the plurality of boarding points, a boarding point that is separated by at least a predetermined distance from other boarding points is excluded from the route,
• sending, by the server device to the vehicle, operation information for causing the vehicle to travel along the route;
• notifying, by the server device, the plurality of terminal devices of the route;
• causing the vehicle to move along the route based on the information sent from the server device;
• and
• executing, by the server device, a process of giving an incentive to the user who moved from the excluded boarding point to, among the plurality of boarding points, one of boarding points other than the excluded boarding point to board the vehicle.
