Autonomous driving vehicle operation system

An autonomous driving vehicle operation system comprising:

• an operation server for an autonomous driving vehicle, the operation server being equipped with a memory unit that registers three-dimensional map data on roads, surrounding environment, and buildings having elevators, for making the plurality of the autonomous driving vehicle connected to the operation server via a wireless network drive autonomously along a predetermined travelling route from current position to a destination based on the map data received from the operation server, wherein
• each autonomous driving vehicle comprises:
• a traveling unit;
• a drive unit;
• a control unit;
• a detection unit including an image-shooting unit, posture detection sensor, and position sensor;
• and a transmitting/receiving unit connected to the wireless network;
• the control unit of the autonomous driving vehicle recognizes the current position and surrounding environment based on detection signals from the detection unit, creates a traveling route from the current position to the destination by receiving map data of an area related to the move from the current position to the destination from the operation server, and controls the drive unit so as to drive the traveling unit along the traveling route;
• when each autonomous driving vehicle uses an elevator of a building along the traveling route, the control unit creates elevator usage information including boarding and exiting floors of the elevator and elevator control information including calling of an elevator cage on the boarding floor and designation of exiting floor;
• the elevator of the building has an elevator control unit connected to the operation server via the wireless network for controlling ascending/descending of the elevator cage based on the elevator usage information and the elevator control information from the autonomous driving vehicle;
• the control unit of the autonomous driving vehicle transmits the elevator usage information and the elevator control information to the elevator control unit via the wireless network;
• and
• the elevator cage has an elevator analysis sensor comprising:
• a camera or LiDAR capable of measuring distances;
• a computer for processing image signals obtained by the camera or the LiDAR;
• and a memory unit, wherein
• the passenger information pertaining to the users in the elevator cage obtained based on the image signals is output to the control unit of the autonomous driving vehicle via the elevator control unit and the operation server, wherein
• the control unit of each autonomous driving vehicle transmits the elevator usage information and the elevator control information based on the passenger information from the elevator analysis sensor, that the autonomous driving vehicle can move to and get in an elevator having sufficient space for the autonomous driving vehicle, to the elevator control unit and the operation server via the wireless network.
