Filed: 2019-12-18
Abstract: A commercial vehicle fleet is managed using a fleet manager system. The system receives logistics data including at least location data, a delivery or pick-up schedule, and loadspace capacity from a controller in each vehicle. At least one vehicle’s logistics data additionally includes a battery charge state. The system may receive a new delivery or pick-up request including new cargo and location data. In response, the system may identify a first vehicle which either contains the cargo or has spare loadspace capacity for the cargo. In one embodiment, if the new location is within the first vehicle’s effective range as determined by the first vehicle’s logistics data, the first vehicle is dispatched to fulfil the delivery or pick-up request. If not, a second vehicle is identified. In an alternative embodiment, the system determines feasible routes between the first vehicle and the new location. If the first vehicle is not an electric vehicle and all feasible routes pass through a congestion charge zone or low emissions zone, the system identifies a second vehicle that can fulfil the request. In either case, a rendezvous point for the two vehicles may be set in the overlap between the vehicles’ effective ranges.

Title: Information processing system, platform, and computer-readable program
Inventor: Yuki Kawama
IPC: G06F15/167
Filed: 2020-10-05
Abstract: An information processing system comprises a plurality of platforms connected by an expansion bus, such as a PCI Express bus. Each platform has a processor, memory, storage and a root complex to connect to the bus. To send data a platform writes data into a transmission buffer and transmits a reception request to the target platform. The request causes an interrupt on the target platform. The interrupt service routine releases a semaphore, if the number of released semaphores is less than a threshold. A reception processing thread, which is waiting on the semaphore, acquires the data from the transmission buffer. When the data has been acquired, a reception complete signal is sent to the sending platform. The threshold may be a variable value, which may be dependent on the load on the processor in the target platform or on the time zone.
