Parallel traveling management device and parallel traveling management method

A parallel traveling management device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing a program, upon being executed by the processor, to perform a process:
• to acquire information indicating an order of goods;
• to detect that a user vehicle has arrived at a parallel traveling zone;
• to detect a congestion situation of the parallel traveling zone when the process detects that the user vehicle has arrived at the parallel traveling zone;
• to calculate, on a basis of the congestion situation of the parallel traveling zone at which the user vehicle has arrived, a traveling route of the user vehicle and a traveling route of a delivery vehicle at a time at which the goods indicated by the information indicating the order of the goods are delivered;
• to control parallel traveling of the user vehicle on a basis of the traveling route of the user vehicle and the delivery vehicle on a basis of the traveling route of the delivery vehicle in an autonomous driving;
• and
• to instruct delivery of the goods,
• wherein the process dynamically controls the parallel traveling of the user vehicle and the delivery vehicle on a basis of one or more of:
• a detection result of an extra-vehicle sensor provided to the user vehicle and configured to be able to detect a situation of surroundings,
• a detection result of an extra-vehicle sensor provided to the delivery vehicle and configured to be able to detect a situation of surroundings, and
• a detection result of a roadside sensor provided in the parallel traveling zone and configured to be able to detect a situation in the parallel traveling zone.
