Moving object control system, moving object control method, and storage medium capable of causing the moving object to travel in consideration of peripheral situations

A control method, comprising, by a computer:

• determining whether or not a specific-location element selected based on a type of a specific location among a plurality of elements satisfies a criterion defined for each specific-location element, and
• determining whether a stop position of the moving object is in a sidewalk region near the specific location or in another region different from the sidewalk region on the basis of a result of determination,
• wherein the plurality of elements includes a sidewalk congestion status of the sidewalk near the specific location or a surrounding congestion status near the sidewalk, and other elements different from the sidewalk congestion status and the surrounding congestion status,
• executing a determination process according to a priority order for each element set based on the type of the specified location, in order from high priority to low priority, the determination process determining whether or not specific-location elements selected based on the type of the specific location among the plurality of elements satisfies the criterion defined for the specific-location elements,
• wherein, in a case where the specific-location elements satisfy the criterion in the determination process, determining the sidewalk region as the stop position of the moving object, and causing the moving object to stop on the sidewalk region, and
• wherein, in a case where some element of the specific-location elements does not satisfy the criterion in the determination process, not determining whether or not a remaining element among the specific-location elements satisfies the criterion in the determination process,
• wherein, in a case where the specific location is a highly public facility, determining whether or not the other elements satisfy the criterion, and
• wherein, in a case where the specific location is not the highly public facility, determining whether or not the sidewalk congestion status or the surrounding congestion status satisfies the criterion,
• wherein the highly public facility is a school, a cram school, or a station, and
• wherein the facility that is not highly public is a private house.

A non-transitory computer storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:

• determining whether or not a specific-location element selected based on a type of a specific location among a plurality of elements satisfies a criterion defined for each specific-location element, and
• determining whether a stop position of the moving object is in a sidewalk region near the specific location or in another region different from the sidewalk region on the basis of a result of determination,
• wherein the plurality of elements includes a sidewalk congestion status of the sidewalk near the specific location or a surrounding congestion status near the sidewalk, and other elements different from the sidewalk congestion status and the surrounding congestion status,
• executing a determination process according to a priority order for each element set based on the type of the specified location, in order from high priority to low priority, the determination process determining whether or not specific-location elements selected based on the type of the specific location among the plurality of elements satisfies the criterion defined for the specific-location elements,
• wherein, in a case where the specific-location elements satisfy the criterion in the determination process, determining the sidewalk region as the stop position of the moving object, and causing the moving object to stop on the sidewalk region, and
• wherein, in a case where some element of the specific-location elements does not satisfy the criterion in the determination process, not determining whether or not a remaining element among the specific-location elements satisfies the criterion in the determination process,
• wherein, in a case where the specific location is a highly public facility, determining whether or not the other elements satisfy the criterion, and
• wherein, in a case where the specific location is not the highly public facility, determining whether or not the sidewalk congestion status or the surrounding congestion status satisfies the criterion,
• wherein the highly public facility is a school, a cram school, or a station, and
• wherein the facility that is not highly public is a private house.
