Information processing device, vehicle, route determination method, and storage medium

An information processor comprising:

• a route finding circuitry to perform a judgement process of judging whether at least one of a first stop or a second stop will occur on each of route candidates on a basis of signal information and traffic congestion information, and to determine a route to be traveled by a vehicle from among the route candidates using a judgement result obtained by the judgement process, the signal information representing a light color switching timing of a traffic light, the traffic congestion information representing a situation of occurrence of traffic congestion, the first stop being a stop of the vehicle due to a light color of the traffic light, the second stop being a stop of the vehicle due to traffic congestion, the route candidates being candidates for a route from a boarding point to a destination of a user-passenger of the vehicle, wherein
• in determination of the route of the vehicle, the route finding circuitry performs a route determination process to determine the route to be traveled by the vehicle from among the route candidates using the judgement result obtained by the judgement process when the user-passenger of the vehicle is a child, and determines the route to be traveled by the vehicle using a method different from the route determination process when the user-passenger is an adult.

An information processor comprising:

• a route finding circuitry to calculate stop information on a basis of signal information and traffic congestion information, and to determine a route to be traveled by a vehicle using the stop information calculated, the stop information being at least one of a stop time period and a number of stops on a route candidate from a boarding point to a destination of a user-passenger of the vehicle, the signal information representing a light color switching timing of a traffic light, the traffic congestion information representing a situation of occurrence of traffic congestion, wherein
• when a stop of the vehicle due to a light color of the traffic light will occur on the route candidate, and occurrence of the stop is avoidable by changing at least one of a departure time or a traveling speed of the vehicle, the route finding circuitry changes at least one of the departure time or the traveling speed of the vehicle on the route candidate to avoid the occurrence of the stop.

A vehicle capable of carrying a user, the vehicle comprising:

• a route finding circuitry to perform a judgement process of judging whether at least one of a first stop or a second stop will occur on each of route candidates on a basis of signal information and traffic congestion information, and to determine a route to be traveled by a vehicle from among the route candidates using a judgement result obtained by the judgement process, the signal information representing a light color switching timing of a traffic light, the traffic congestion information representing a situation of occurrence of traffic congestion, the first stop being a stop of the vehicle due to a light color of the traffic light, the second stop being a stop of the vehicle due to traffic congestion, the route candidates being candidates for a route from a boarding point to a destination of a user-passenger of the vehicle, wherein
• when the first stop will occur on one of the route candidates, and occurrence of the first stop is avoidable by changing at least one of a departure time or a traveling speed of the vehicle, the route finding circuitry changes at least one of the departure time or the traveling speed of the vehicle on the one of the route candidates to avoid the occurrence of the first stop.
