- the demand arbitration unit 44 when the demand arbitration unit 44 makes a reservation for a facility, an order for a menu, etc., the demand arbitration unit 44 confirms the request with the first vehicle and the second vehicle, communicates with the facility, and makes a reservation for the facility, an order for the menu, etc. according to the request. I do.
- step St53 the guidance route generation unit 43 generates a travel route for the first vehicle and the second vehicle from the current positions of the first vehicle and the second vehicle to a common destination on the way, and the first vehicle and the second vehicle. Send to the second vehicle. At this time, the guidance route generation unit 43 generates the travel routes of the first vehicle and the second vehicle so that the travel routes of the first vehicle and the second vehicle overlap each other.
- step St54 the travel route receiving units 29 of the first vehicle and the second vehicle each receive the travel route of the new own vehicle transmitted from the demand arbitration device 40. Then, the target travel track generation unit 31 of the first vehicle and the second vehicle, respectively, considers the environmental conditions around the own vehicle and travels along the travel route of the own vehicle received from the demand arbitration device 40. Generate an orbit. Then, the automatic driving control unit 32 of the first vehicle and the second vehicle automatically drives the own vehicle along the target traveling track, respectively.
- the demand arbitration device 40, the vehicle 20, and the demand arbitration system 1 according to the second embodiment will be described.
- the description of the same components as those in the first embodiment will be omitted.
- the basic configuration and processing of the demand arbitration device 40 and the like according to the present embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.
- the group control unit 42 of the demand arbitration device 40 is different from the first embodiment in that it determines the parent vehicle of a plurality of vehicles belonging to the vehicle group.
- the group control unit 42 of the demand arbitration device 40 determines a parent vehicle having the final decision-making authority and a child vehicle according to the determination of the parent vehicle from a plurality of belonging vehicles belonging to the vehicle group.
- the demand arbitration unit 44 of the demand arbitration device 40 obtains the approval of the parent vehicle when setting a common destination.
- the group control unit 42 may set the vehicle for which the vehicle group was first created as the parent vehicle, or may set the belonging vehicle with the consent of each belonging vehicle as the parent vehicle, and may use random numbers or the like. The randomly determined belonging vehicle may be determined as the parent vehicle.
- the group control unit 42 sets a vehicle belonging to a vehicle other than the parent vehicle as a child vehicle.
- the group control unit 42 stores the setting information of the parent vehicle and the child vehicle in the group database DBc.

- the selection result (approval result) is transmitted to the demand arbitration device 40. If the approval of the parent vehicle is not obtained, the demand arbitration unit 44 transmits to that effect to the child vehicle and does not set the stop point as a common destination. On the other hand, when the approval of the parent vehicle is obtained, the demand arbitration unit 44 transmits to that effect to the child vehicle and sets the stop-by point as a common destination.
- the demand arbitration unit 44 receives a request for a stop-off point from the parent vehicle, the demand arbitration unit 44 sets the stop-off point as a common destination without obtaining the approval of the child vehicle.
- the guidance route generation unit 43 of the demand arbitration device 40 generates a travel route from the current position of the parent vehicle to a common destination, and the travel route of the child vehicle overlaps with the travel route of the parent vehicle. As such, a travel route from the current position of the child vehicle to a common destination is generated.
- the rules for generating the travel route of each belonging vehicle are clarified, the confusion of decision making can be suppressed, and the processing load can be reduced.
- the guidance route generation unit 43 When the current positions of the vehicles belonging to each belong to the same, the guidance route generation unit 43 generates the travel route of the child vehicle so that all the travel routes of the slave vehicle overlap with the travel route of the parent vehicle. For example, the guidance route generation unit 43 generates a travel route for the child vehicle that travels on the same route (for example, a node) as the travel route of the parent vehicle.
- the guidance route generation unit 43 of the child vehicle When the current position of each belonging vehicle is different, the guidance route generation unit 43 of the child vehicle so that the travel route of the child vehicle overlaps with the travel route of the parent vehicle at least in front of the common destination. Generate a travel route. Then, the guidance route generation unit 43 generates a travel route for the child vehicle so that the route (node) overlaps with the travel route of the parent vehicle as much as possible.
- the guidance route generation unit 43 generates a travel route from the current position of the child vehicle to each point of the travel route of the parent vehicle, and determines a point where the evaluation point of the travel route to each point is the best.
- the evaluation points are calculated based on the length of the traveling route, the traveling time, the presence or absence of reverse driving, and the like.
- the difference between the arrival time of the child vehicle to the destination and the arrival time of the parent vehicle to the destination when the travel route to each point is used is evaluated. You may. The smaller the difference in arrival time, the better the evaluation score.

Is set as the travel route of the child vehicle.
- the end point of the travel route of the parent vehicle from the current position of the child vehicle (that is, a common destination).
- the evaluation point of the travel route up to) is the best, and the travel route of the child vehicle that does not overlap with the travel route of the parent vehicle may be set.
- a travel route from the current position of the child vehicle to each node of the travel route of the parent vehicle is generated, and the evaluation points of the travel route to each node are generated.
- the best node is determined.
- the travel route to the third node Nd3 has the shortest travel route length and travel time, and the third node Nd3 has the best evaluation point.
- the travel route of the child vehicle includes the route portion from the destination (8th node Nd8) to the 3rd node Nd3 in the travel route of the parent vehicle, the travel route from the 3rd node Nd3 to the current position of the child vehicle, and the travel route. Is set as the travel route of the child vehicle.
