Description

  The present invention relates to an on-demand customer currency mixed system and an in-vehicle device.

  Many systems for operating passenger cars and buses have been provided to meet the need to move people from one point to another. In addition, in order to satisfy the need to move cargo from one point to another, many systems for operating trucks have been provided. On the other hand, buses and other operation systems are hardly considered for the need to move people and cargo mixedly.

  There is a document called “Subcommittee on the new development of automobile administration for a prosperous future society” compiled by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in February 2015. Implementation of the system is ongoing. As an example of the mixed loading system of people and cargo, when a regular bus departs from the bus center, the cargo received from the delivery center is loaded and carried on the bus, and the sales driver receives the cargo from the bus at each bus stop and goes to the individual home. Deliver the cargo. When returning from the final point to the bus center, the customer picks up the luggage collected by the sales driver from each household into the bus at the bus stop, and when they arrive at the bus center, collects the cargo carried by the bus and sends it to the delivery center. Mixed systems have been considered in recent years.

Then, the input information on the number and size of the cargo, the collection point, the collection time, and the like, that is, the information on the movement request for the cargo is transmitted to the management device 2 via the communication unit 33.

  Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2, in step S <b> 110, the user (for example, a passenger) 1 operates the passenger terminal 4 to transmit information on the movement request 1 of the passenger 1 to the management device 2. Similarly, in step S <b> 210, the user (for example, a passenger) 2 operates the passenger terminal 4 to transmit information on the movement request 2 of the passenger 2 to the management device 2. Similarly, in step Sn10, a user (eg, a collector) n operates the freight terminal 5 and transmits information on the movement request n of the freight n to the management device 2.

  And it progresses to step S10, and the management apparatus 2 of the operation management center receives the information of the movement requests 1, 2,..., N transmitted from the terminals 4, 5 of the users 1, 2,. The operation route of the operation bus 1 is calculated based on the information of the movement requests 1, 2, ..., n. In this case, it is confirmed whether or not the movement requests 1, 2,..., N of all the users 1, 2,. Creates an operation route in which the boarding / alighting time or the collection time is changed so as to be satisfied, that is, a proposal for changing the boarding / alighting time or the collection time.

  Then, it progresses to step S20, and the management apparatus 2 is a user's terminal 4 and 5 which cannot satisfy the movement request | requirement by the operation route of the calculated operation bus 1, and proposes the change proposal of a boarding / alighting time or a collection time. Send (ie, notify) information. And it progresses to step S30 and the management apparatus 2 transmits the information of boarding / alighting time or collection time with respect to the terminal 4 and 5 of the user who was able to satisfy the movement request | requirement by the operation route of the calculated operation bus 1 (namely,). ,Notice. The management device 2 waits for a response from the user's terminals 4 and 5 after executing the above steps S20 and S30.

  Next, for example, if the passenger of the user 1 is a user who can satisfy the movement request on the operation route of the operation bus 1, the process proceeds to step S120, and the passenger terminal 4 of the user 1 The information of the boarding / alighting time or the collection time is received, the boarding / alighting time of the operation bus 1 is displayed on the display unit 29, and the user 1 is inquired whether to get on the service bus 1. Here, if the user 1 performs an operation of getting on the service bus 1 (YES), the process proceeds to step S140, and the passenger terminal 4 of the user 1 is that the user 1 gets on the service bus 1. Is sent to the management apparatus 2.

  In step S120, when the user 1 performs an operation not to get on the bus 1 (NO), the process proceeds to step S150, and the passenger terminal 4 of the user 1 makes the following to the user 1. An inquiry is made as to whether or not to board (or collect) the bus 2 or later. Here, when the user 1 performs an operation of not getting on the bus 2 or later (NO), the passenger terminal 4 of the user 1 ends the control (application program). In step S150, when the user 1 performs an operation of getting on and after the bus 2, and an operation of changing the boarding / alighting time, etc. (YES), the process proceeds to step S160, and the user 1 uses the passenger bus. The terminal 4 transmits to the management device 2 information on the movement request 1 added by the user 1 (that is, the passenger 1), that is, information on the movement request 1 that moves on the operation bus 2.

  Next, for example, a case where the passenger of the user 1 is the target of the change proposal will be described. In this case, it progresses to step S130, and the terminal 4 for passengers of the user 1 receives the information of the change proposal from the management apparatus 2, and displays the change proposal of the boarding / alighting time of the service bus 1 on the display part 29. In addition, it asks the user 1 whether to accept the change proposal. Here, if the user 1 performs an operation of accepting the change proposal (YES), the process proceeds to step S140, and the passenger terminal 4 of the user 1 accepts the change proposal and the user 1 gets on the bus 1. A response to the effect is transmitted to the management apparatus 2. If the user 1 performs an operation not accepting the change proposal in step S130 (NO), the process proceeds to step S150, and the passenger terminal 4 of the user 1 sends the next operation bus 2 to the user 1. Inquire about whether or not to board (or pick up). The subsequent control is as described above.

  In addition, when the passengers or collectors of other users 2,..., N were users who could satisfy the movement request on the route of the operation bus 1, and could not satisfy the movement request on the route of the operation bus 1. The control of the passenger terminal 4 or the cargo terminal 5 (that is, steps S220 to S260,..., Steps Sn20 to Sn60) when the user (that is, the user who is the subject of the change proposal) is the user described above. It is configured to be executed in substantially the same manner as the control of one passenger terminal 4 (that is, steps S120 to S160).

  After this, the process proceeds to step S40, and the management device 2 waits until there is a response to get on from all the users 1,..., N, or a response to get on by accepting the change proposal, or on the operation bus 1. Wait until a set time before the departure time (that is, departure time). Then, when there is a response from all the users 1,..., N, or when the set time of the departure time of the operation bus 1 is reached, the process proceeds to step S50, and the management device 2 operates the operation route of the operation bus 1. To decide. Then, it progresses to step S60 and the management apparatus 2 transmits the information of the determined path | route to the navigation apparatus 3 of the operation bus 1. FIG.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S1010, where the navigation device 3 of the operation bus 1 receives the route information transmitted from the management device 2, and sets the received route information as the route of the operation bus 1 (that is, a guidance route). . Then, the process proceeds to step S1020, and when the departure time of the operation bus 1 is reached, the navigation device 3 of the operation bus 1 starts guidance on the set operation route, and the driver of the operation bus 1 determines the route by the navigation device 3. Start operation according to the guidance. In this case, at the point where the passenger gets on, the point where the passenger gets off, and the point where the cargo is picked up, guidance for stopping the operation bus 1 and guidance for performing each operation such as passenger boarding, passenger getting off, cargo collecting, etc. Etc. are appropriately executed.

  Here, the operation of the operation bus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the service bus 1 moves to the boarding points P1, P2, and P3 of the passengers K1, K2, and K3 and rides the passengers K1, K2, and K3, respectively, and then the cargo collection point PS1 (for example, Go to the convenience store or the parking lot of the convenience store) to collect the cargo. In this case, when the cargo is collected, the cargo is automatically stored in the operation bus 1 by providing an automatic carriage for transporting the cargo or an automatic storage device or the like in the cargo storage portion provided in the operation bus 1. It is preferable to configure as described above. If comprised in this way, the effort which the driver | operator of an operation bus goes out of an operation bus for cargo collection becomes unnecessary. In addition, when the passenger boarding / exiting point and the pick-up point are the same point (for example, in front of a convenience store or a convenience store parking lot), the cargo is automatically loaded onto the bus while the passenger gets on and off. It becomes possible.

  Thereafter, the service bus 1 moves to the boarding points P4 and P5 of the passengers K4 and K5 to board the passengers K4 and K5, and then gets off at the boarding point (not shown) or passengers at the boarding point (not shown). To get on and to collect cargo at a collection point (not shown). Then, the operation bus 1 is configured such that after all passengers are disembarked, the route is finally guided to move to a cargo delivery center (ie, a collection center) to drop the collected cargo.

  In the case of the present embodiment, since the main transportation of the operation bus 1 is a passenger, it is controlled so that priority is given to the passenger's movement request, and it is assumed that the passenger passes near the parcel delivery center of the cargo (that is, the cargo collection) during the passenger transportation In addition, it is configured to calculate and set an operation route (that is, a route) that arrives at the delivery center after the passengers are eliminated as much as possible with priority on the movement of the passengers.

  In addition, when a service bus approaches a boarding point or a collection point up to a set distance, the navigation device 3 is configured to transmit information notifying that it has approached the boarding point or the collection point to the management device 2. Accordingly, the management device 2 transmits information indicating that the operation bus is approaching to the passenger terminal 4 or the cargo terminal 5 corresponding to the boarding point or the collection point where the operation bus is approaching, so that the passenger or the collector It can be notified that the bus is approaching. With this configuration, for example, when a convenience store collector is notified that a service bus is approaching, an automatic traveling vehicle loaded with cargo will stop at the bus stop at the timing when the service bus just stops at the collection point. It can be configured to automatically move to a location.

  Next, operation route setting control of the operation bus 2 will be described with reference to FIG. In step S20010, the management device 2 of the operation management center performs the movement requests 1, 2,... Transmitted from the terminals 4, 5 of the users 1, 2,. n information is received. In this case, the management apparatus 2 is transmitted from the terminals 4, 5 of the users 1, 2,..., N who have selected not to get on the service bus 1, as shown in steps S160, S260,. The information of the additional movement requests 1, 2, ..., n is also received. Then, the management device 2 calculates the route of the operation bus 2 based on the received information on the movement requests 1, 2,..., N or the information on the additional movement requests 1, 2,. In this case, whether or not the calculated travel route of the operation bus 2 can satisfy the movement requests 1, 2,..., N of all the users 1, 2,. In response to a movement request that cannot be satisfied, an operation route in which the boarding / alighting time or the collection time is changed so as to be satisfied, that is, a proposal for changing the boarding / alighting time or the collection time is created.

  And the process of step S20020-S20060 of the management apparatus 2 is performed similarly to the process of the operation bus 1 (namely, process of step S20-S60 of FIG. 2). In addition, the processes of steps S200120 to S200160, steps S220 to S260,..., And steps Sn20 to Sn60 of users 1, 2,..., N are performed in the operation bus 1 (that is, step S120 in FIG. 2). To S160). Furthermore, the processing of steps S2001010 and S2001020 of the navigation device 3 of the operation bus 2 is executed in the same manner as the processing of the operation bus 1 (that is, the processing of steps S1010 to S1020). Thereby, operation of the operation bus 2 can be started. The operation buses after the operation bus 3 can be calculated and set in the same manner as the operation bus 2 described above.

  In the present embodiment having such a configuration, the management device 2 performs each of the movement requests of passengers from one or more passenger terminals 4 and the movement requests of cargo from one or more cargo terminals 5. The operation route passing through the point where the passenger gets on and off and the point where each cargo is collected is calculated, and the calculated operation route is transmitted to the navigation device 3 of the operation bus. And the navigation apparatus 3 of a service bus moves a service bus to the boarding point of each passenger, a departure point, and the collection point of each cargo by carrying out route guidance based on the received operation route. According to this configuration, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom and reduce manpower while allowing people and cargo to be mixed and moved.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the management apparatus 2 calculated when calculating the operation route which picks up and gets each passenger and collects each cargo based on the passenger's movement request and the cargo movement request. For users who cannot meet the travel request on the route, create a travel route that changes the boarding / alighting time or collection time so that the travel request can be satisfied, i.e., a proposal for changing the boarding / alighting time or collection time, and The change proposal is transmitted to the passenger terminal 4 or the cargo terminal 5 of the user who cannot be satisfied. According to this configuration, a change request for getting on / off time or pick-up time is proposed to a user who cannot satisfy the travel request on the calculated route. Therefore, if the user accepts the change proposal, the user can use the calculated route. Person can be moved.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the management device 2 centrally manages the movement request of the person and the movement request of the cargo, and the operation bus (or truck, etc.) gets on only when there is a request to move the person and the cargo. Since it is configured to move to a point or a pickup point, load people and cargo, and carry them on demand to the requested destination (for example, a drop-off point or a delivery center), more efficient movement of people and cargo Can be executed. And in the said embodiment, since it comprised so that a driver might not have to get on and off from a driver's seat for cargo loading / unloading, when a cargo was picked up, since it constituted so that a driver's burden may be used. Can be lightened.

  In the above embodiment, the charge is dynamically changed according to the urgency of the movement request of the person or the cargo. It is configured to be set at a high price when it must be set cheaply and move urgently and cannot be carried with other passengers or mixed with cargo. For example, the more passengers, and the more people and cargo are mixed, the lower the price can be set. On the other hand, if the degree of urgency is high and the passenger must move immediately, and there is no passenger or mixed cargo, the charge is set high. The fee is configured to change dynamically each time the route is recalculated. Moreover, in the said embodiment, it comprised so that the priority of route calculation might be changed depending on whether the object currently transported (namely, movement) is a person or a cargo.

(Second Embodiment)
5 and 6 show a second embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same structure as 1st Embodiment. In this 2nd Embodiment, operation control which changes user's 1, ..., n requests | requires boarding or a collection with respect to the already operated bus (namely, operation vehicle), and changes the route of an operation bus. Run.

  First, in step S3001010 of FIG. 5, the operation bus 1 starts operation. In this case, the navigation device 3 of the operation bus 1 is set with a predetermined operation route, or an operation route determined by step S60 of FIG. 2 of the first embodiment, step S20060 of FIG. The route guidance is executed according to the set operation route.

  In this way, in a state where the operation bus 1 is in operation, in step S300110, the user (for example, a passenger) 1 operates the passenger terminal 4 to transmit information on the movement request 1 of the passenger 1 to the management device 2. . Similarly, in step S300210, the user (for example, a passenger) 2 operates the passenger terminal 4 and transmits information on the movement request 2 of the passenger 2 to the management device 2. Thereafter, similarly, in step S300n10, a user (for example, a collector) n operates the freight terminal 5 and transmits information on the movement request n of the freight n to the management device 2.

  And it progresses to step S30010 and the management apparatus 2 of the operation management center receives the information of the movement requests 1, 2,..., N transmitted from the terminals 4, 5 of the users 1, 2,. The operation route of the operation bus 1 is recalculated (re-searched) based on the information of the movement requests 1, 2,. In this case, it is confirmed whether or not all the movement requests 1, 2,..., N can be satisfied by the recalculated operation route of the operation bus 1, and for the movement requests that cannot be satisfied, An operation route in which the collection time is changed, that is, a proposal for changing the getting-on / off time or the collection time is created.

  Then, it progresses to step S30020 and the management apparatus 2 changes the boarding / alighting time or collection time with respect to the terminal 4 and 5 of the user who did not satisfy the movement request | requirement by the operation route of the said operation bus 1 recalculated. Send (that is, notify) proposal information. Then, the process proceeds to step S30030, and the management device 2 transmits information on the getting-on / off time or the pick-up time to the terminals 4, 5 of the user who can satisfy the movement request on the route of the recalculated operation bus 1 ( That is, notification). After executing steps S30020 and S30030, the management apparatus 2 waits for a response from the user terminals 4 and 5.

  Thereafter, the processes of steps S300120 to S300160, steps S300220 to S300260,..., And steps S300n20 to S300n60 of the terminals 4, 5 of the users 1, 2,. The process is performed in the same manner as in steps S120 to S160 in FIG. Furthermore, the process of step S30040-S30060 of the management apparatus 2 is performed similarly to the process (namely, process of step S40-S60) of the operation bus 1 of 1st Embodiment.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S3001020, and the navigation device 3 of the operation bus 1 receives the information on the recalculated operation route transmitted from the management device 2, and uses the received operation route information as the operation route of the operation bus 1 (that is, the operation route 1). , Guide route), that is, the route is changed. Then, the process proceeds to step S3001030, where the navigation device 3 of the operation bus 1 continues the guidance on the set operation route, that is, the recalculated operation route, and the driver of the operation bus 1 follows the route guidance by the navigation device 3. Continue operation.

  The configurations of the second embodiment other than those described above are the same as the configurations of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the second embodiment, substantially the same operational effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained. In particular, according to the second embodiment, even after the operation bus 1 starts operation, the user 1,... Operates the terminals 4, 5 to manage the information on the passengers and cargo movement requests 1,. Since the operation route is recalculated, the user can get on and off the vehicle or collect the cargo even after the operation of the operation bus 1 is started.

  Here, the operation of the operation bus 1 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, the operation bus 1 is a postal collection vehicle capable of carrying passengers. As shown in FIG. 6A, the normal operation route (for example, a regular operation route or a predetermined route (ie, route)) of the operation bus 1 is a plurality of post positions..., Q1, Q2, Q3,. This is a route that stops after moving to, collects mail items in each post, and finally returns to the post office. It is assumed that the user (passenger) 1 transmits a movement request 1 to the management device 2 for the operation bus 1 that operates on such an operation route. For example, as shown in FIG. 6B, the movement request 1 is boarded at a point PQ1 between the post position Q1 and the post position Q2, and a point PQ2 between the post position Q4 and the post position Q5. Suppose that it was information to get off at.

  The management device 2 recalculates the operation route of the operation bus 1 so as to satisfy the movement request 1 and transmits information on the recalculated operation route to the navigation device 3 of the operation bus 1. Thereby, the navigation apparatus 3 of the operation bus 1 receives the recalculated route information, sets the received route information as the operation route, and continues the route guidance. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the operation route of the operation bus 1 is moved to the positions of a plurality of posts..., Q1 and stopped, and the mail items in each post are collected. It moves to PQ1 and stops, and the user (passenger) 1 gets on. Then, it moves to the position Q2, Q3, Q4 of the post and stops, collects mail items in each post, then moves to the point PQ2, stops, and the user (passenger) 1 gets off. After this, the vehicle moves to a post position Q5, stops, collects mail items in each post, and finally returns to the post office.

  In the second embodiment, after the operation bus 1 starts to be operated by the management device 2, the movement request from the passenger terminal 4 or the cargo terminal 5 of the user is received, and the operation is performed based on the received movement request. The operation route of the bus 1 is recalculated, and the recalculated operation route is transmitted to the in-vehicle device 3 of the operation bus 1. According to this configuration, the in-vehicle device 3 of the operation bus 1 guides the route with the recalculated route, so that the operation bus 1 performs the work of collecting mail items at each post in parallel. , Passengers can get on and off and cargo can be collected.

  Further, in the second embodiment, since the main transportation is a collected cargo (for example, mail), the operation route is given priority to the original collection route even if it is a little detour with respect to a human movement request. Is configured to recalculate. And in 2nd Embodiment, if the operation bus 1 (for example, a mail collection vehicle) receives the instruction | command sent from the management apparatus 2 and remove | deviates from a default route and makes a passenger board, it prescribes | regulates to the navigation apparatus 3. A recalculated operation route different from the route is set. The passenger is notified of the fare when the route is recalculated.

  According to the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, the management device 2 integrates and manages the on-demand bus transportation system (that is, the movement of people) and the movement of freights. Since the operation bus is operated on demand, the operation of an on-demand bus, a mail collection truck, a convenience store collection truck, etc. can be managed centrally. As a result, a postal pickup truck for a postbox can carry people in the middle of the pickup, or a delivery product (that is, a cargo) collected in a convenience store in the middle of an on-demand bus can be collected. As a result, in central Tokyo, buses, parcel delivery trucks, and postal trucks that are running wastefully on individual demands can be managed together, so vehicles can be dispatched appropriately according to travel needs. It is possible to eliminate as many vehicles that are wasted as much as possible, and to contribute to the elimination of traffic congestion in the city center. Also, in regions where there are few means of transportation, people and cargo can be moved together according to travel needs on the operation bus, so people and cargo can be moved more efficiently.

  In each of the above embodiments, when calculating the route, it is configured to set in advance whether to prioritize the transportation of people or the transportation of cargo, but it is limited to this. Rather, for example, the management device 2 always knows how many passengers are transported and how much cargo is present, so the route calculation algorithm depends on the number of passengers or the amount of cargo. It may be configured to automatically set whether to prioritize people or prioritize cargo. Specifically, it is preferable to give priority to people when the number of passengers is larger than the amount of cargo, and to give priority to cargoes when the amount of cargo is larger than the number of passengers.
