Abstract
A control unit (100): acquires identification information previously assigned to vehicles (200-1), (200-2), (300-1), and (300-2); acquires vehicle information of the vehicles (200-1) and (200-2) for which the acquired identification information includes first identification information; based on the acquired vehicle information, calculates regulated ranges; and notifies of the calculated regulated ranges.
Claims24
A traffic control method, comprising:
- a process for acquiring from autonomous vehicles traveling on roads identification information previously assigned to the autonomous vehicles;
- when the acquired identification information includes first identification information, a process for acquiring vehicle information of first autonomous vehicles to which is assigned the identification information that includes the first identification information;
- a process for calculating regulated ranges based on acquired vehicle information;
- a process for causing first autonomous vehicles to travel according to predetermined operation plans;
- and
- a process for notifying of the calculated regulated ranges.
