Abstract
Recent years, global environmental problems have become aggravated, and various energy-saving functions and methods been introduced in vending machines. However, it is reported that useless energy is consumed because the amount of power consumption changes greatly by the installation environment in actual operation. We aim to improve over concentration of vending machines by considering demands, conveniences, and environmental impact of vending machines. In this study, we invent Best Available Allocation Supporting tool for vending machines, develop it, and apply it to Obuse city, Nagano prefecture. We had measured vending machines for a year and proved the effect of the tool.
