For example, the vacancy information calculation unit 21 first calculates the position and outer shape of the baggage B2 already accommodated in the loading platform T from the distance to the baggage B2, which is measurement data, and the volume of the baggage B2 from the position and outer shape. Is calculated. In particular, when calculating the volume from the outer shape of the luggage B2, the vacancy information calculation unit 21 calculates the volume from the position in consideration of the size. The empty information calculation unit 21 stores information on the capacity of the entire truck bed T in advance, and subtracts the volume of the already loaded luggage B2 from the entire volume of the truck bed T to obtain the value of the cargo bed T. Calculate as free volume. However, the empty information calculating unit 21 may calculate the empty volume of the loading platform T by other methods.

  Further, the vacant information calculation unit 21 receives input of vehicle information including information on the carrier, identification information on the truck, a route for carrying the truck, a transportation schedule, and the like according to an operation by the carrier U2 (step S13 in FIG. 4). ). For example, the transport route is an address of a position where the cargo can be loaded and unloaded such as a current position where the truck departs, a stop position on the way, a destination, and the transport schedule is information such as the date and time of arrival at each position. . In addition, the input vehicle information may include other information such as information such as the type of luggage that can be transported.

  As described above, when the empty information calculating unit 21 calculates the empty volume of the loading platform T and receives the vehicle information input from the carrier U2, the empty information is included in the vehicle information (region information), and the vehicle information Is transmitted to the matching server 30 (step S14 in FIG. 4).

  The distance sensor 25 may be installed inside the loading platform T, or may be installed at another position where the inside of the loading platform T of a truck stopped at a predetermined location can be measured. In this embodiment, the distance sensor 25 is used as a sensor for detecting the internal state of the truck bed T. However, a camera that captures an internal image of the truck T may be used. In this case, the vacant information calculating unit 21 stores in advance an image in which the truck bed T is empty, and calculates the vacant capacity from the empty image and the image when the luggage B2 is accommodated.
