[0028] First, an example of the processing of the vehicle arrangement support program of the present disclosure will be specifically described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of each procedure of the vehicle arrangement support program of the present disclosure.

[0029] The route information acquisition unit 11 acquires route information desired by the driver from a server device (S11, route information acquisition step). The server device is, for example, a vehicle dispatch management device of the present disclosure. The route information may be, for example, map information displaying the route desired by the driver. The route information may include, for example, area information where the driver can pick up a user. The user may be, for example, a person using a vehicle described below, and may be a single user or multiple users. The area information is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, area information arbitrarily determined from a reference point, information regarding an arbitrarily determined distance from the reference point, etc. The reference point may be, for example, the departure point of the vehicle, etc. The distance may be, for example, a radial distance, etc. The area information may be set by the driver, or may be set by an administrator of the system described below, etc. The route information may further include, for example, the departure date and time of the vehicle, the desired number of passengers for the vehicle operation, the price from the departure point to the destination, vehicle information described below, etc.

[0030] Next, the selection information output unit 12 outputs selection information of the vehicle selected by the user based on the route information to the server device (S12, selection information output procedure). The vehicle is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a commercial vehicle such as a taxi, or a non-commercial vehicle such as a courtesy car. The commercial vehicle is not limited to, for example, vehicles currently permitted by laws, regulations, ordinances, but also includes vehicles that will be permitted by laws, regulations, ordinances in the future. The selection information output unit 12, for example, further outputs a password set by the user to the server device. The password is set by the user using, for example, letters, numbers, symbols, and combinations thereof.

[0031] Next, the ride information acquisition unit 13 acquires ride information determined based on the selection information from the server device (S13, ride information acquisition step). The ride information includes user information and vehicle information of the assigned vehicle for the rideshare. The user information includes, for example, the user's identification information and the user's attribute information. The user's identification information is information that can identify the user, such as an ID (identification) and a name. The attribute information is not particularly limited and includes, for example, gender and age. The vehicle information includes, for example, the vehicle's ID, model, and appearance, as well as vehicle-specific information such as license plate information. The ride information may include, for example, an identification code linked to the user information and the vehicle information. The identification code is not particularly limited and may include, for example, a one-dimensional code such as a barcode, a QR code (registered trademark), etc. By including the identification code, the user information and the vehicle information can be easily acquired by acquiring the identification code using, for example, a device capable of acquiring the identification code. The ride information acquisition unit 13 further acquires, for example, information on whether or not there is anyone available to share a ride from the server device.

[0032] Next, the display unit 14 displays the ride information (S14, display procedure). For example, if there is someone available to share a ride, the display unit 14 displays the ride information including the vehicle information of the vehicle to be shared. Also, for example, if there is no one available to share a ride, the display unit 14 displays the ride information including vehicle information of vehicles that are not available for ride sharing, or information that there are no vehicles. The display is, for example, a display by a display device or the like provided in the device 10.
