Abstract
A method executed by an information processing apparatus configured to communicate with a vehicle that transports one or more packages stored in a storage space includes acquiring a transportation condition for a package to be stored in the storage space and controlling an environment of the storage space during transportation of the package, or limiting acceleration magnitude of the vehicle during transportation of the package, based on the acquired transportation condition.
Claims17
A method to be executed by an information processing apparatus configured to communicate with a vehicle that transports two or more packages stored in two independent storage spaces, the method comprising:
- storing information indicating a magnitude of vibration generated in the vehicle during travel on each road included in a map data;
- acquiring a first transportation condition for the each of the two or more packages to be stored in the corresponding two independent storage spaces such that each of the two independent storage spaces includes at least one of the two or more packages, the first transportation condition including an acceleration condition that an acceleration magnitude of the vehicle be held to a first predetermined value or less during transportation and a vibration condition that a magnitude of vibration be equal to or less than a predetermined value for each of the two or more packages;
- determining whether the first transportation condition can be satisfied for each of the two or more packages simultaneously;
- determining whether a surrounding environment of each of the two or more packages within each of the two independent storage spaces can be maintained at a second predetermined value or within a second predetermined range as a second transportation condition;
- determining a route for transporting the two or more packages by the vehicle including roads on which the magnitude of vibration is equal to or less than the second predetermined value;
- in response to the determination that the first transportation condition and the second transportation condition can be satisfied, transmitting a signal notifying the vehicle of an upper limit of acceleration magnitude of the vehicle to maintain the acceleration magnitude generated in the vehicle during transportation of the two or more packages within the upper limit of acceleration magnitude of the vehicle and notifying the vehicle of the determined route;
- in response to the determination that the first transportation condition and the second transportation condition for any of the two or more packages to be stored in the corresponding two independent storage spaces cannot be simultaneously satisfied, transmitting a warning notification that at least one of the two or more packages for which the first transportation condition or the second transportation condition is not satisfied are stored in the two independent storage spaces;
- and
- setting, when the first transportation condition includes the acceleration condition that the acceleration magnitude of the vehicle be held to the first predetermined value or less during transportation, the upper limit of the acceleration magnitude of the vehicle to the first predetermined value and limiting the acceleration magnitude of the vehicle during travel on the determined route based on the upper limit of acceleration magnitude of the vehicle.
