1. A management device of an autonomous driving vehicle, comprising:
a processor configured to
calculate a congestion rate of each of parking lots adjoining a plurality of respective commercial facilities; and
in response to the congestion rate of a neighbor parking lot during a waiting time period before a scheduled boarding time being less than a congestion threshold,
set the neighbor parking lot as a waiting place where an autonomous driving vehicle reserved for dispatch waits during the waiting time period, wherein the neighbor parking lot is in a neighborhood of a boarding place contained in reservation information for the autonomous driving vehicle reserved for dispatch, and
cause the autonomous driving vehicle reserved for dispatch to move to the waiting place, wherein
the autonomous driving vehicle is a vehicle with a capacity of one or two passengers, a minimum turning radius of the autonomous driving vehicle being less than that of an automobile with a capacity of five passengers, and enabling the autonomous driving vehicle to turn in a passage space of the neighbor parking lot without entering a parking space of the neighbor parking lot, and
the processor is further configured to, in response to the congestion rate being 100%,
set the passage space as the boarding place, and
cause the autonomous driving vehicle to leave the neighbor parking lot within a predetermined time period.
