1 is a diagram illustrating a service server and a user terminal according to an embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the service server 20 may receive related information by requesting the route guidance service server 10 in order to collect public transportation status information. In addition, the service server 20 and the personal terminals 30 of each of the plurality of users may transmit and receive various information necessary for providing a service through communication.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a public transportation route guidance service according to an embodiment.

The public transportation information service method provided through the service server 20 of the present invention includes: 1) a service start step, 2) an information input and transmission/reception step, 3) a step of performing an interactive service by providing real-time standby information, 4 ) A step of collecting satisfaction information, and 5) a step of completing feedback and service.

1) The service start step is a step in which a service request is received by a user to the service server 20, and accordingly, the service server 20 starts a service.

First, the app is executed through the user's personal terminal 30 (S1). When people are crowded, the user connects to the service server 20 and requests to start the service. As a means of accessing the service server 20, an app of the personal terminal 30 may be used. Additionally, in order to facilitate the user's convenience in a congested situation, an alarm based on mobile communication floating population data that can be provided by a mobile communication company and corresponding event information may be provided to the user personal terminal 30. The mobile communication floating population data may be calculated based on the total number of mobile communication terminals detected in a predetermined area based on a site where a congestion occurs. The event information may include the number of participants, the event location, and the event time. The alarm can inquire whether to use this service through the user's personal terminal 30, and inquire whether the user agrees to collect and use personal information (S2). If the user agrees to this, the user's service request is transmitted to the service server 20, and the service may be provided to the user's personal terminal 30.

2) The information input and transmission/reception step is a step in which information transmission/reception occurs between the service server and the personal terminal in order for the user to input information necessary for public transportation route guidance.

The user inputs his/her current location, origin and destination, through the app of the personal terminal 30 (S3). The service server 20 searches for a public transportation route through the received information on the origin and destination. The service server 20 may access the route guidance service server 10 to search for a public transportation route (S4). According to an embodiment, it may be based on an existing public transport directions service, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various directions information may be obtained from another server. The service server 20 may receive all of the various routes to the destination from the route guidance service server 10 (S5). The service server 20 may temporarily store information on a means to be first boarded among public transport routes received by the search.

3) Interactive service can be performed by providing real-time standby information. For example, in the step of providing information and an interactive service, the step is a step in which the service server 20 finds a path most suitable for a user through an actual interactive service.

The service server 20 may provide boarding information for each route. In the case of the first means of transportation, it is possible to provide information about waiting and reloading (S6). The service server 20 guides public transportation status information by searching for a route based on the user's origin and destination. The public transportation status information provided at this time may include information on arrival of public transportation at the time of guidance, information on re-employment personnel, information on expected number of people waiting, and information on expected waiting time. The public transportation arrival information and the personnel information again may receive the corresponding information by interlocking with a server providing an existing public transportation guidance service. Estimated waiting number information and expected waiting time information are calculated by the service server 20 after a combination of the selection results of multiple users who use this service and the total number of people (total number of people including service users) existing in the corresponding place. Can be. In calculating the expected waiting number information and the expected waiting time information, the service server 20 reflects public transportation information selected by the user in real time, and its accuracy may be improved.

Information provided from the service server 20 may be provided on one screen through an app of the user's personal terminal 30. Then, the user can obtain information on his/her waiting time based on the current situation where the number of personnel is gathered, can predict the degree of congestion, and determine whether a desired method, that is, a desired route, exists among the provided public transportation means (S7), If there is, the corresponding public transportation means, that is, the desired transportation means information is selected (S8) through the screen of the app executed in the personal terminal 30, confirmed, and transmitted to the service server 20 (S9).

On the other hand, if there is no public transport method that the user likes among the provided public transport means, step S6 of reconfirming public transport status information that changes in real time by refreshing (S10) may be performed. Then, the user can make a decision again or temporarily terminate the service.

The service server 20 reflects the received selected public transportation means in real time. The service server 20 receives the selection result of the user, that is, service users (S11), accumulates it (S12), identifies the number of personnel information of the currently inquired vehicle again (S13), and estimates the user for non-service users. (S14) The information on public transportation status is updated by reflecting the result. Then, since real-time data is updated on an app screen executed through the personal terminals 30 of a plurality of users who use the service, a plurality of users can take this into account when making a decision.

Specifically, in the case of information on the number of waiting people determined or estimated by this service, except for functions based on the existing public transport route guidance service, the following method may be used.

Information on the number of people waiting can be composed of (number of people waiting by service user) + (number of people waiting by service non-user). Among them, the following method is used to estimate'the number of people waiting by service non-users'. This estimation method is mainly used in the early stages of the service, when self-data is not established, and when the service is settled and there are enough users, a predicted value through self-data can be used.

Ⅰ) For large events held regularly

1) Identify the number of participants in the event. The number of participants can be based on a value with a small difference compared to real-time mobile communication floating population data provided by a telecommunications company by grasping two of the number of aggregated personnel of the organizer (such as the number of tickets sold) and the number of aggregated personnel of public institutions. At this time, the number of participants can be identified by statistically processing data such as an average value.

2) For the area where the event was held and the area adjacent to it, the number of passengers for each public transportation route at the time the event was held in the past is identified by time slot through the transportation card DB. Since the transportation card DB identified by public institutions includes all information on boarding and disembarkation stops (stations) and time and time of getting on and off, the number of boarding passengers for each public transportation route can be identified by time slot through the transportation card DB.

3) The number of people who participated in the event, the number of people who did not use the service, and the estimated data of past users for each stop (station) are calculated as follows to finally estimate the number of waiting people. The following is an estimate of the number of people waiting for boarding at stop a.

[Equation 1]

Is the estimated number of people waiting to board a stop,

Is the number of people waiting at a stop by the service user,

Is the number of passengers on board at the event past the a stop,

Is the number of service users,

Is the total number of participants.

Ii) In case of large events held irregularly

For the area where the event was held and the area adjacent to it, the number of passengers for each public transportation route at the time the event was held in the past is identified by time slot through the transportation card DB.

3 is a graph showing the total number of people waiting at the stop a and the ratio of people using the N transit line.

In the graph of FIG. 3, the X-axis is the total number of people waiting at the stop a, and the Y-axis is the ratio of people who use the N-time public transport route, and is arranged in ascending order.

As shown in FIG. 3, in most cases where there is no event, the ratio of the number of people on board to the number of people waiting is almost constant. However, it can be seen that the ratio of the number of passengers on board to the number of waiting people changes due to the occurrence of a specific event (indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 3).

The trend line can be identified using the data in FIG. 3.

4 is a graph derived from a trend line from the graph of FIG. 3.

As shown in Figure 4, it is possible to estimate the selection ratio of the number N public transport route according to the number of waiting people using the trend line 41, and multiply this by the number of people waiting at the stop at the time the event was held to estimate the number of people waiting. can do.

Estimated number of passengers waiting to board the bus station estimated by the above method, real-time transportation means, estimated arrival time information, and available number of passengers according to the characteristics of each vehicle of transportation are used to estimate and provide information on waiting time for boarding in the following way. do.

는, i=1부터 i=k까지 순차적으로 반복 연산을 수행하여

이 되도록 하는 최초의 k번째 차량까지의 대기 시간이다.

Is, by sequentially performing an iterative operation from i=1 to i=k

This is the waiting time until the first k-th vehicle to be made.

는 a 정류장 탑승 대기 추정 인원, Ci는 번째 도착 예정 차량의 탑승가능인원 정보(버스의 제원 등에 의함), Si는 i 번째 도착 예정 차량의 재차 인원 정보이다.

Is the estimated time waiting for boarding at a stop,

Is the estimated number of people waiting to board the a stop, Ci is the information on the number of passengers available for boarding the vehicle to be arrived (depending on the specifications of the bus), and Si is the information on the number of people of the ith scheduled vehicle again.

Meanwhile, after the selected desired transportation means information is selected, background driving and a widget may be executed (S15).

If the user selects the desired transportation method (route) information among the provided route information, the user can move while checking the route with a smartphone while carrying the smartphone, or put it in his pocket without looking at the smartphone. have. In both of these processes, the service is running regardless of whether the user checks the smartphone. This is not only to directly check the screen, but also to calculate the usage time even if the screen is not checked, or to provide route guidance again whenever the user wants. This is called "background driving". In addition, a widget for searching public transportation information may be executed in the personal terminal 30.

In this way, the service server 20 according to an embodiment provides information by personalizing a service for each user, reflects the selection result of each of a plurality of users, and reflects the selection result of each of all users in real time, It provides personalized information for each. Then, the user can make his/her decision more accurately and efficiently, and the result of each user's decision is fed back to the service server 20 to provide an interactive service that can help other users' decision making. do.

In order to provide a more accurate service, errors in waiting number and time caused by non-service users must be compensated. To this end, a traffic database and communication data provided previously may be used together.

4) The step of collecting satisfaction information is a step of collecting information about the user's satisfaction after selection. For example, by performing the calculation of the saving time, the waiting time when the service is not used and the waiting time when the user returns home using the service may be calculated and compared.

The user actually waits and boards the corresponding means of transportation (S16). Then, the transportation means boarding time may be stored through the app of the personal terminal 30 (S17). In addition, first, the estimated time required for each route at the time of information inquiry may be stored (S18). In addition, the time at that time when the user selects the route may be stored (S19). The storage may be performed in the app of the personal terminal 30 or may be performed in the service server 20.

The waiting time when the first public transportation status information is provided is regarded as the waiting time when the service is not used, and the time at the time when the user selected one of the public transportation status information provided through the service and the time actually boarded the selected public transportation The period in between is calculated as the actual waiting time when using the service. Through this, the time saved through service use can be calculated (S20). Subsequently, the time saved through the use of the service may be provided through the app of the personal terminal 30 (S21). The saving time can be used as data for understanding service accuracy in the fifth step, the feedback step.

5) The feedback and service termination step is a step (S22) of feeding back the accuracy of prediction, such as expected waiting time and number of waiting people, and satisfaction of the service. All input items in this step are optional, and the input contents can be used for service improvement.

In this way, in selecting public transportation after a large event, the results of the selection of the person and others are shared through an interactive service to support decision making, thereby promoting efficient and convenient use of public transportation. By promoting efficient and convenient use of public transportation in a microscopic aspect, stable conditions for using public transportation can be secured, and in a macroscopic aspect, when crowds are crowded and crowded in a specific place, personnel can be quickly and effectively distributed. In the private sector, the service can be expanded to pedestrians and public transport navigation, and in the public, data obtained through the service can be used in various fields such as urban planning, traffic planning, pedestrian planning, and damage assessment. Compared to existing services, users can be secured in that they can reflect the results of others' selection in real time in their own decision making, and in that they provide services that complement the limitations of existing services. Various data that can be obtained through a series of services can be utilized in various processes such as decision making or research in public and private sectors. If the data that can be obtained through the service is sufficiently accumulated in the form of big data, a new business type in the form of collection, processing, and processing using the data can be created.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and a form modified and improved by a person of ordinary skill in the field to which the present invention belongs is also the right of the present invention. Belongs to the range.
