AUTOMATIC COOPERATION SYSTEM

To improve convenience of an owner.SOLUTION: An automatic cooperation system allows a first vehicle 1A that can perform unmanned automatic traveling to perform automatic traveling in cooperation with a second vehicle 1B whose automatization level is lower than that of the first vehicle. The system includes: a search section 22B that searches the first vehicle 1A that sets a destination of the second vehicle 1B onto a travel schedule route and is in automatic driving or is scheduled to perform automatic driving; a transmission section 23B that transmits a connection request from the second vehicle 1B to the searched first vehicle 1A; an acquisition section 22A that acquires travel information of the second vehicle 1B when a connection request is accepted by the first vehicle 1A; a first control section 23A that selects information usable for automatic driving of the first vehicle 1A from acquired information and allowing the first vehicle 1A to perform automatic driving with the use of the information; a command section 24A that transmits a driving command for allowing the second vehicle 1B to cooperate with the first vehicle 1A on the basis of acquired information; and a second control section 24B for allowing the second vehicle 1B to perform cooperative traveling in response to a driving command.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】オーナーの利便性を向上させる。【解決手段】無人自動走行可能な第一車両１Ａに対し、これよりも自動化レベルの低い第二車両１Ｂを連携させて自動で走行させる自動連携システムであって、第二車両１Ｂの目的地を走行予定ルート上に持つとともに自動運転中又は自動運転予定である第一車両１Ａを検索する検索部２２Ｂと、検索された第一車両１Ａ側に第二車両１Ｂ側から接続依頼を送信する送信部２３Ｂと、第一車両１Ａ側で接続依頼を承認した場合に、第二車両１Ｂの走行情報を取得する取得部２２Ａと、取得された情報の中から第一車両１Ａの自動運転に利用可能な情報を選択し、その情報を利用して第一車両１Ａを自動運転させる第一制御部２３Ａと、取得された情報に基づき第二車両１Ｂを第一車両１Ａに連携させるための運転指令を送信する指令部２４Ａと、運転指令に従って第二車両１Ｂを連携走行させる第二制御部２４Ｂとを備えた。【選択図】図１
