Abstract
To avoid congestion and ease traffic jams of mobile objects while managing movement of a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space, provided is a system including a mobile object server operable to assist with movement of a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space; and a priority control module operable to perform priority movement control that causes a mobile object having high priority to be prioritized over and progress ahead of a mobile object having low priority, based on priorities assigned to each of a plurality of mobile objects. Also provided are a method and program.
Claims11
A system comprising:
- a mobile object server configured to manage a movement of a first mobile object and a movement of a second mobile object in a geographic space;
- and
- a priority control module configured to prioritize the movement of the first mobile object over the movement of the second mobile object based on determining that the first mobile object has a higher priority than the second mobile object, wherein prioritizing the movement of the first mobile object over the second mobile object changes a management path of the second mobile object from a first management path to a second management path;
- and
- a priority assigning module that is in communication with the mobile object server and is configured to reassign the priority of the first mobile object and the second mobile object, wherein the priority assigning module is configured to increase the priority of the second mobile object in response to the second mobile object moving ahead of the first mobile object.
