Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller that acquires, from vehicle dispatch centers that each manage an operation plan for a specific area, the operation plan for each area, determines, based on the acquired operation plans, whether a period of time exists, in non-adjacent first and second areas, during which there is a surplus of vehicles in the first area and a shortage of vehicles in the second area, and generates, when the period of time is determined to exist, a vehicle movement plan such that a surplus vehicle in the first area is lent to a vehicle dispatch center that manages an operation plan for an area between the first and second areas, and a vehicle dispatch center in the second area borrows a vehicle from the vehicle dispatch center that manages the operation plan for the area between the first and second areas.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus manages the operation of an alternative vehicle when a vehicle recovers from a failure. The information processing apparatus includes a controller. The controller is configured to determine, when it is judged that the vehicle is not operational due to failure of the vehicle, to introduce an alternative vehicle to replace the vehicle, and when recovery information indicating that the vehicle has recovered from the failure is acquired, maintain the determination to introduce the alternative vehicle or cancel the introduction of the alternative vehicle and redetermine the recovered vehicle as being operational.

Abstract: An operation management method for managing a plurality of circulating buses, each circulating bus being introduced into a circulation route from a base and returning to the base to be switched with another circulating bus after traveling a specified number of laps, includes storing, by a server, an operation schedule of the plurality of circulating buses, monitoring, by the server, a status of the plurality of circulating buses, and revising, by the server, the operation schedule when a first circulating bus traveling on the circulation route experiences failure before completing a specified number of laps, the operation schedule being revised so that a second circulating bus is introduced into the circulation route and returns to the base to be switched with a third circulating bus before completing the specified number of laps.
