An automatic parking system configured to cause an autonomous vehicle to travel autonomously from a parking space to a pickup area based on a parking space departure time determined such that the autonomous vehicle arrives the pickup area at a scheduled pickup time that is predetermined. The automatic parking system includes an on-control time setting unit configured to set an on-control time at which a state of the autonomous vehicle is controlled to be a power-on state based on the parking space departure time, and a power-on control unit configured to control the state of the autonomous vehicle to be the power-on state based on the on-control time that is set. The on-control time setting unit is configured to set the on-control time such that the power-on state is established prior to the parking space departure time.

An energy consumption estimation device includes a reception unit configured to receive, from a user, request information including a departure point and a destination, a route derivation unit configured to derive a plurality of travel routes based on the departure point and the destination included in the request information, an acquisition unit configured to acquire section energy consumption in a case where a vehicle travels on a road section, which is derived based on information on vehicle speed and information on road undulations, and an estimation unit configured to respectively estimate energy consumption of the vehicle in a case where the vehicle travels on the derived travel routes by adding section energy consumption for road sections included in the travel route.

A reference cost and a variable cost are included in a link cost for setting a set route for causing a setting vehicle to travel to a destination on a travelable route. A controller obtains an adjusted variable cost by adjusting a variable cost using a priority adjustment value set higher as a priority for arriving more quickly at a destination decreases, determines a link cost for each link in a candidate route, which is a candidate for a set route for a setting vehicle, based on the adjusted variable cost and the reference cost, obtains a route cost for each candidate route based on the link costs, and sets the set route based on the route costs of the candidate routes.

Spatiotemporal robotic navigation may include providing a set of robots non-conflicting access to the same shared resources at different times so that the robots may operate without continually accounting for the locations of the other robots and workers operating in the particular site, without continually planning or updating paths after determining an initial path, and without continuously adjusting movements as the robots near one another. The spatiotemporal robotic navigation involves generating spatiotemporal plans. Each plan has a set of objectives that a robot is to execute by different time intervals. Each plan is generated so as to not conflict with the resources being accessed by other robots at time intervals set in the plans of other robots.
