To enable an unmanned taxi vehicle in a vacant vehicle state of traveling around looking for passengers to efficiently acquire a potential customer on a road, who needs a taxi, as an actual customer.SOLUTION: When an unmanned taxi vehicle travels around looking for passengers in a vacant vehicle state, a person on a road is recognized in S12, based on a vehicle outside video shot by an on-vehicle camera. Further, a potential customer is specified in S15 by identifying whether or not each person's posture is a pose specific to a person who has high possibility of using a taxi. An on-vehicle taximeter gives an instruction to an automatic operation control unit in S18 so as to move the unmanned taxi vehicle to a position at which the potential customer can get on to stop the vehicle by specifying a relative positional relation between an own vehicle and the potential customer from a video shot by the on-vehicle camera. Selected is a proper travel route at a time when the unmanned taxi vehicle picks up the potential customer by identifying which of a right side and a left side of the road a detected potential customer is present on.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

    【課題】空車で流し運転状態の無人タクシー車両が、タクシーを必要とする道路上の見込み客を、実際の乗客として効率よく獲得可能にすること。【解決手段】無人タクシー車両が空車で流し運転しているときに、車載カメラで撮影した車外映像に基づき、S12で道路上の人物を認識する。更に、各人物の姿勢がタクシーを利用する可能性の高い人に特有のポーズか否かをS15で識別することにより、見込み客を特定する。車載カメラの映像から、自車両と見込み客との相対的な位置関係を特定し、見込み客が乗車できる位置まで無人タクシーを移動して停車するように、S18でタクシーメータ車載器が自動運転制御部に指示を与える。検出した見込み客が道路の左右どちら側に存在するのかを識別して、無人タクシーが見込み客を迎えに行く時の適切な移動経路を選択する。【選択図】図5
