Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing system, an information processing program, an information processing device, and an information processing method.

  A special vehicle traffic permit system is stipulated in the Road Law. In order for special vehicles to pass on public roads, they must apply to a road manager in advance and obtain permission. The permission application is performed by specifying a route to be passed for each vehicle. Note that the permission has a validity period (generally two years), and it is necessary to renew if the route passes beyond that period.

  If the vehicle for which permission is applied is a delivery vehicle composed of a tractor (towing vehicle) and a trailer (towing vehicle), even if the tractor is the same, if the trailer is different, it is regarded as another vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to apply for permission for each combination of tractor and trailer. Logistics companies with many tractors and trailers have to manage a huge number of routes (permitted routes) that have been applied for and permitted for each combination.

  In addition, Patent Literature 1 describes a traveling route distribution system for supporting selection of a permitted route in consideration of traffic regulation information and traffic information. In this system, when the vehicle deviates from the permitted route, another permitted route is searched. Although the permitted route database is described, it does not control the delivery vehicles consisting of tractors and trailers.

  The administrator terminal 2 is an information processing device that allows the administrator to register, for example, vehicle information and permitted route information in a database of the server 3 and create a distribution plan for delivery vehicles. The administrator terminal 2 is, for example, a notebook personal computer or a desktop personal computer, but may be a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like.

  The driver terminal 2A is an information processing device for the driver of the delivery vehicle to receive, for example, a dispatch plan or to select a route (delivery route) on which a plurality of permitted routes are actually traveled. The driver terminal 2A is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal.

  Note that the number of the administrator terminal 2 and the driver terminal 2A is not limited to one, and a plurality of the terminals may be connected to the server 3.

  Further, the administrator terminal 2 and the driver terminal 2A do not have to be distinguished sharply. For example, a vehicle allocation plan may be created at the driver terminal 2A, or a delivery route may be selected at the manager terminal 2. In the following description, the administrator terminal 2 and the driver terminal 2A are collectively referred to as the terminal devices 2 and 2A unless there is no particular need to distinguish them.

(First embodiment)
Next, an information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  As described below, the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment is configured so that information on a delivery vehicle (vehicle information) is registered in a database in association with permitted route information, and can be managed.

  The delivery vehicle includes a tractor and a trailer as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 3, the tractor is the same, but the trailer is changed. As described above, since it is necessary to apply for a traffic permission for each of them, they are registered and managed in the database as having different vehicle IDs.

  In the present specification, the type of the trailer is not particularly limited as long as it is towed by a tractor and carries cargo.For example, in addition to a trailer carrying ordinary cargo, a trailer carrying an automobile, and a liquid such as oil. It may be a trailer for transporting, a trailer for transporting marine containers, a trailer for transporting heavy equipment, or the like.

  Further, in the present specification, the delivery vehicle may be one in which a plurality of trailers are towed, such as a so-called double truck.

  The information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be specifically described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing system 1 includes terminal devices 2 and 2A and a server 3.

  First, the terminal devices 2 and 2A will be described.

  The terminal devices 2 and 2A include a communication unit 21, a control unit 22, a positioning unit 23, an operation input unit 24, and an output unit 25, as shown in FIG.

  The communication unit 21 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information between the terminal devices 2 and 2A and the server 3 via the communication network 4.

  The control unit 22 includes an information receiving unit 221, an information output unit 222, and a registration information receiving unit 223. Details of each part will be described later. In the present embodiment, each unit of the control unit 22 is realized by a processor in the terminal device 2 or 2A executing a predetermined program. Note that at least a part of each unit of the control unit 22 may be realized by hardware.

  The positioning unit 23 measures and acquires the current position of the terminal device 2 or 2A, and measures the current position by means such as GPS (Global Positioning System) or WiFi positioning.

  The operation input unit 24 is an interface for the user of the terminal device 2 or 2A to input information, and is an information input unit such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, and a microphone (a built-in microphone of a mobile terminal).

  The output unit 25 is an interface that outputs various information from the terminal devices 2 and 2A to the user, and is an image display unit such as a liquid crystal display and an organic EL display. The output unit 25 may include a voice output unit (speaker) for performing voice guidance or the like.

  When the output unit 25 is a touch panel, the output unit 25 may also serve as the operation input unit 24. Further, the output unit 25 does not need to directly present information to the user. For example, the output unit 25 may output a video signal or an audio signal to a video display unit or an audio output unit connected to the outside of the terminal device 2 or 2A, or may be a device ( The data may be output to a projector, a printer, an external display, or the like, or may be output to and stored in the terminal device 2 or 2A or an external storage device.

  Each of the terminal devices 2 and 2A includes a storage unit (not shown) in addition to the above components. The storage unit stores data for transmission / reception, programs and data necessary for information processing by the control unit 22, and the like.

  Next, details of each unit of the control unit 22 will be described.

  The information receiving unit 221 receives information via the operation input unit 24. The information to be accepted is, for example, vehicle information of a delivery vehicle or permission route information indicating a permission route of the delivery vehicle.

  Here, the vehicle information includes tractor identification information (tractor ID) for identifying a tractor, and trailer identification information (trailer ID) for identifying a trailer. The vehicle information may include identification information of a delivery vehicle (identification information for a combination of a tractor and a trailer; vehicle ID).

  The vehicle information may include information such as a vehicle body name, an affiliated group (such as a sales office), vehicle size information, and a maximum load amount, in addition to identification information as information on a tractor or a trailer.

  The permitted route is a route that is permitted by applying for a certain delivery vehicle. The permitted route referred to in the present invention is not limited to a route approved by applying to a road manager, but may be a route that satisfies a predetermined standard such as an industry standard or a company standard.

  The information output unit 222 outputs various types of information to be presented to the users of the terminal devices 2 and 2A in a form according to an output destination. When the output unit 25 is a video display unit, the information output unit 222 converts information to be output into a video signal and outputs the video signal to the output unit 25.

  In the present embodiment, the information output unit 222 outputs the vehicle information or the permitted route information acquired by the information acquisition unit 321 of the server 3 from the delivery vehicle database 331.

  The registration information receiving unit 223 receives vehicle information for registration and permitted route information. For example, the registration information receiving unit 223 receives the vehicle information and the permitted route information input by the user via the input screen displayed on the output unit 25.

  Next, the server 3 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the server 3 has a communication unit 31, a control unit 32, and a storage unit 33. The communication unit 31 is an interface for transmitting and receiving information between the terminal devices 2 and 2A and the server 3 via the network 4.

  The control unit 32 includes an information acquisition unit 321, an information output unit 322, and a database registration unit 323. In each unit of the control unit 32, a processor in the server 3 executes a predetermined program. Note that at least a part of each unit of the control unit 32 may be realized by hardware.

  The storage unit 33 has a delivery vehicle database 331. The storage unit 33 is configured by a storage device such as a hard disk and a semiconductor memory (SSD or the like). The storage unit 33 may store a program executed by the control unit 32 and data necessary for processing by the program.

  Here, the delivery vehicle database 331 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The delivery vehicle database 331 is a database that stores vehicle information and permitted route information in association with each other. In the present embodiment, the delivery vehicle database 331 is configured as a combination of a plurality of tables. In the present embodiment, the delivery vehicle database 331 has a permitted route information table and a vehicle information table. In addition, the delivery vehicle database may be configured by one table.

  The permission route information table stores permission route information, and has, for example, the configuration shown in FIG. In this example, each record has a permitted route ID, permitted route information, a vehicle ID, and a route set ID. The permitted route ID is information for identifying the permitted route. The permitted route information is information for specifying the permitted route, and is position information indicating a departure place, a destination (a destination, a destination), and a waypoint. In the example of FIG. 4, the permitted route with the ID R0001 is a route where the departure place is S1 and the destination is G1, and passes through the points P11, P12 and P13 in this order.

  Note that the permitted route information may include information on the expiration date of the permitted route. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the permitted route information may include a valid period (a period during which the delivery vehicle is permitted to pass).

  The vehicle ID is information for identifying the delivery vehicle. In the example of FIG. 3, the vehicle ID of the upper delivery vehicle is A001, and the vehicle ID of the lower delivery vehicle is A002.

  The route set ID is information for identifying a route set. A route set is a collection of a plurality of permitted routes having the same point at both ends (for example, a departure place and a destination). For example, as shown in the example of FIG. 4, three permitted routes (ID: R0001, R0002, R0003) have different route points but the same point at both ends. Therefore, as a route set (ID: RS001), Are aggregated. Note that, as can be seen from this example, routes heading in opposite directions are also included in the same route set.

  The vehicle information table stores vehicle information and has, for example, a configuration shown in FIG. In this example, each record has a vehicle ID, a tractor ID, and a trailer ID. Each record may include vehicle size information on the size of the delivery vehicle, as shown in FIG. The vehicle size information includes, for example, at least one of information such as a vehicle height, a vehicle width, a vehicle length, a gross vehicle weight, and a maximum load capacity. Further, the vehicle information table may include information on loadable objects (loadable object information), such as whether or not dangerous goods can be loaded.

  By combining the above-described permitted route information table and the vehicle information table via the vehicle ID, a delivery vehicle database 331 that associates the vehicle information (tractor identification information and trailer identification information) with the permitted route information is configured.

  Note that the delivery vehicle database 331 may include the following visit destination table and worker table.

  The visit destination table is a table that stores information on visit destinations (destinations and delivery destinations), and is linked to a departure place or a destination of the permitted route information. Each record of the visited table includes a visited ID and a visited name, as shown in FIG. In addition, the visit destination table may include information such as an address and a telephone number of the visit destination. In addition, the visit destination table may include information (name, address, etc.) regarding a parking lot near the visit destination and capable of parking the delivery vehicle.

  The worker table is a table that stores information about the worker (ie, the driver of the delivery vehicle), and is linked to the permitted route information table and the vehicle information table via the vehicle ID. Each record of the worker table includes a worker ID, a group ID, and a vehicle ID, for example, as shown in FIG. The worker ID is information for identifying the driver, such as a name and an identification number. The group ID is identification information of a sales office to which the worker belongs. Here, the vehicle ID indicates a vehicle on which the driver can ride. In addition, the worker table may include information on the skills of the worker (such as holding qualifications) and status information (during work, during breaks, outside work, etc.).

  In the present embodiment, the above-described tables are collectively stored in the storage unit 33. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the tables may be stored in another information processing apparatus communicably connected to the server 3 via the communication network 4. They may be arbitrarily distributed.

  Next, details of each unit of the control unit 32 will be described.

  The information acquisition unit 321 refers to the delivery vehicle database 331 and acquires one of the vehicle information and the permitted route information received by the information reception unit 221 of the terminal device 2 or 2A as a key to obtain the other information. That is, when the information receiving unit 221 receives the vehicle information, the information obtaining unit 321 obtains one or a plurality of permitted route information from the delivery vehicle database 331 using the vehicle information as a key. On the other hand, when the information receiving unit 221 receives the permitted route information, the information obtaining unit 321 obtains one or a plurality of vehicle information from the delivery vehicle database 331 using the permitted route information as a key.

  When acquiring the permitted route information based on the vehicle information, if there is a plurality of permitted route information corresponding to the received vehicle information, the information acquiring unit 321 collectively collects the plurality of permitted route information to form a route set. It may be obtained in units.

  The information output unit 322 outputs the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 321. More specifically, the information output unit 322 outputs the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 321 to the administrator terminal 2 and / or the driver terminal 2A via the communication unit 31.

  The database registration unit 323 registers the vehicle information and the permitted route information received by the registration information reception unit 223 in the delivery vehicle database 331 in association with each other.

<Processing operation of information processing system 1>
Next, an example of registration processing of the delivery vehicle database 331 by the information processing system 1 configured as described above will be described in detail below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The registration information receiving unit 223 of the administrator terminal 2 receives vehicle information for registration and permitted route information. Then, the received vehicle information and the permitted route information are transmitted to the server 3 via the communication unit 21 (step S11).

  The reception of the vehicle information in step S11 may be performed, for example, by the user selecting one by one from tractors and trailers registered in advance from a pull-down menu displayed on the screen of the administrator terminal 2, and pressing a registration button. This is done by: In this specification, “press” includes not only screen operations such as click, tap, touch, double-click, and swipe, but also operations that can be performed through the operation input unit 24, such as determination by voice input.

  Acceptance of the permitted route information is performed, for example, when the user inputs two points at both ends of the route and presses a route creation button on the screen. By pressing the route creation button, a route between two points input by the user is searched by a route search unit (not shown) and displayed on the screen. If the displayed route is acceptable, the user presses a registration completion button on the screen. Thereby, the information on the route is accepted as the permitted route information. It should be noted that the user may input the two points and the intervening points therebetween to receive the permitted route information.

  The reception of the permitted route information may be performed before or after the reception of the vehicle information. Alternatively, the reception of the vehicle information and the permission route information may be performed at the same time.

  To add the permitted route information for registered delivery vehicles, display the list of registered delivery vehicles on the screen, select the delivery vehicle, and then register the permitted route information in the same manner as described above. May be.

  Upon receiving the vehicle information and the permitted route information from the administrator terminal 2, the database registration unit 323 of the server 3 registers the received vehicle information and the permitted route information in the delivery vehicle database 331 in association with each other (Step S21). In the present embodiment, the database registration unit 323 adds a new record to the permitted route information table and the vehicle information table, and writes the permitted route information and vehicle information (trailer identification information, tractor identification information, and the like) to the record.

  It should be noted that the database registration unit 323 may assign the same route set ID to the same location at both ends of the permitted route information. For example, in the table of FIG. Considering the case where record 3 is newly added, the route with the permitted route ID of R0003 is the same as the route set IDs of the routes with the permitted route IDs of R0001 and R0002, since both ends are the same. A route set ID (RS001 in this example) is assigned.

  When the registration processing to the delivery vehicle database 331 is completed, the server 3 transmits a registration completion notification of the delivery vehicle database 331 to the administrator terminal 2 (Step S22).

  Upon receiving the registration completion notification from the server 3, the information output unit 222 of the administrator terminal 2 outputs to the output unit 25 that the registration of the delivery vehicle database 331 has been completed (Step S12).

  According to the above processing flow, the permitted route can be registered for each delivery vehicle, that is, for each combination of a trailer and a tractor.

  In the above processing flow, the manager terminal 2 may be the driver terminal 2A, and the driver terminal 2A may be able to register the driver terminal 2A in the delivery vehicle database 331.

  By using the delivery vehicle database 331 configured by the above-described registration processing, it is possible to confirm a route that is permitted for a predetermined delivery vehicle and, conversely, to confirm a delivery vehicle that can pass through a predetermined route. . Hereinafter, a processing flow of such confirmation will be specifically described.

  An example of a processing operation for outputting permitted route information based on vehicle information will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The information receiving unit 221 of the administrator terminal 2 receives the vehicle information, and transmits the received vehicle information to the server 3 via the communication unit 21 (Step S31). In this step, the information receiving unit 221 receives, for example, tractor identification information and trailer identification information as vehicle information.

  Upon receiving the vehicle information from the administrator terminal 2, the information acquisition unit 321 of the server 3 acquires from the delivery vehicle database 331 at least one permitted route information corresponding to the vehicle information received by the information reception unit 221 (Step S41). ).

  When the permitted route information is acquired from the delivery vehicle database 331, the information output unit 322 of the server 3 transmits the acquired at least one permitted route information to the administrator terminal 2 via the communication unit 31 (Step S42). ).

  The information output unit 222 of the administrator terminal 2 outputs at least one permitted route information received from the server 3 to the output unit 25 (Step S32). In this step, when a plurality of permitted route information is acquired by the information acquiring unit 321, the information output unit 222 may output the plurality of permitted route information in units of a route set. As a result, the number of displays is greatly reduced, so that the user can easily confirm the permitted route information registered in the delivery vehicle database 331 even if the number of permitted routes corresponding to the specified delivery vehicle is large. be able to.

  According to the above processing flow, the route permitted for the delivery vehicle specified by the user at the administrator terminal 2 is presented to the user. Thereby, the user can easily grasp the route through which the specified delivery vehicle can pass.

  It should be noted that in the above processing flow, the driver terminal 2A may be used as the manager terminal 2 so that the driver can specify the delivery vehicle and browse the permitted route information corresponding to the specified delivery vehicle.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of a screen displayed on the administrator terminal 2. In this example, a delivery vehicle is specified in the left area of the screen. More specifically, when specifying a delivery vehicle, the user first selects one tractor from a plurality of tractors displayed on the screen. In FIG. 10, the tractor “Naniwa 673a 3100” is selected. When a tractor is selected, a list of trailers corresponding to the trailer is displayed. Next, the user selects one trailer from the displayed trailers. In FIG. 10, the trailer “Body 01” is selected.

  When the delivery vehicle is designated as described above (in FIG. 10, Naniwa 673a 3100-body 01), the route (permitted route) on which the delivery vehicle designated by the user can travel is displayed on the screen of the terminal device 2 or 2A. Is displayed. In the example of FIG. 10, a list of route sets is displayed. When the user selects one route set, the route set is expanded, and a list of permitted routes included in the route set is displayed.

  Note that the information output unit 222 of each of the terminal devices 2 and 2A may output information on the expiration date of the permitted route received from the server 3 as the permitted route information. The information may be, for example, the expiration date or the validity period of the permitted route. In the example of FIG. 10, the validity period is displayed for each permitted route. In this way, by presenting the information on the expiration date to the user, the user can grasp the time to apply for a route permission.

  Further, when the expiration date is approaching, the information output unit 222 may alert or warn the user. For example, the information output unit 222 may display information on the expiration date in a specific color or mode, or may warn by voice.

  Next, an example of a processing operation of outputting vehicle information based on the permitted route information will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG.

  The information receiving unit 221 of the administrator terminal 2 receives the permitted route information, and transmits the received permitted route information to the server 3 via the communication unit 21 (Step S51). The information receiving unit 221 receives, for example, information on a departure place, a destination, and a transit point as the permitted route information.

  Upon receiving the permitted route information from the administrator terminal 2, the information acquiring unit 321 of the server 3 acquires at least one vehicle information corresponding to the permitted route information received by the information receiving unit 221 from the delivery vehicle database 331 (Step S61).

  When the vehicle information is acquired from the delivery vehicle database 331, the information output unit 322 of the server 3 transmits at least one acquired vehicle information to the manager terminal 2 via the communication unit 31 (Step S62).

  The information output unit 222 of the administrator terminal 2 outputs at least one vehicle information received from the server 3 to the output unit 25 (Step S52).

  According to the above processing flow, a delivery vehicle that can pass through the permitted route specified by the user at the administrator terminal 2 is presented to the user. With this, if the delivery destination has already been determined and the user specifies an authorized route with the destination as the destination, the delivery vehicle corresponding to the specified authorized route is presented, and the user can deliver to the destination. Vehicle can be easily grasped.

  In step S51, the information receiving unit 221 may receive permitted route information in units of a route set. In this case, the information receiving unit 221 receives the points at both ends, and does not receive the transit points between them. Then, in step S61, the information acquisition unit 321 picks up all the permitted routes in which both ends of the received route set match, and acquires all the vehicle information associated with the picked-up permitted route. Then, in step S62, the vehicle information and the permission route information corresponding to the vehicle information are transmitted. This allows the user to easily ascertain the information of the delivery vehicles that can be used for delivery to the desired point without leaving the waypoints as a problem.

  In addition, in step S51, the information receiving unit 221 may receive information on a delivery (delivery information) in addition to the permission route information. For example, as the delivery information, information indicating the quantity and type of the delivery, whether the delivery is a dangerous substance, or the like may be received. In this case, the information acquisition unit 321 of the server 3 narrows down the vehicle information acquired in step S61 based on the delivery information. For example, the vehicle information of the vehicle that can deliver the delivery specified by the user is extracted from the vehicle information acquired in step S61 with reference to the maximum loading capacity and the loadable material information in the vehicle information table. Then, the server 3 transmits the extracted vehicle information to the manager terminal 2, and the manager terminal 2 outputs the vehicle information received from the server 3 in step S52. At this time, the vehicle information may be displayed in a list. According to such a processing flow, the user can easily grasp only the delivery vehicles that can deliver the designated delivery, and the convenience is further improved. In the above, the vehicle information is extracted in two steps, but may be performed in one step. That is, when the vehicle information is acquired in step S61, the vehicle information may be considered, and only the vehicle information of the vehicle capable of delivering the delivery specified by the user may be acquired.

  Note that, in the above processing flow, by setting the administrator terminal 2 as the driver terminal 2A, the driver terminal 2A may specify a permitted route and browse the vehicle information corresponding to the specified permitted route.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the user associates a delivery vehicle including a tractor and a trailer with a route (permitted route) permitted for the delivery vehicle and associates the delivery vehicle with the delivery vehicle database. You can register. In addition, by accessing the delivery vehicle database, it is possible to obtain the permitted route information from the vehicle information, and conversely, to obtain the vehicle information from the permitted route information. As a result, even if the number of delivery vehicles increases due to the increase in the number of delivery vehicles due to the combination of the tractor and the trailer, even if the number of permitted routes of the delivery vehicles becomes enormous, the delivery route corresponding to each delivery vehicle (or the delivery vehicle corresponding to the permission route) ) Can be easily confirmed.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the delivery vehicle including the tractor and the trailer can be easily managed.

(Second embodiment)
Next, an information processing system according to the second embodiment will be described. In the information processing system according to the present embodiment, a dispatch plan of a delivery vehicle is created based on the vehicle information and the permission route information specified by the user.

  The information processing system 1A according to the present embodiment includes terminal devices 2 and 2A and a server 3, as shown in FIG.

  The terminal devices 2 and 2A according to the present embodiment are almost the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus detailed description is omitted. Note that the control unit 22 of the driver terminal 2A may include a position information acquisition unit 224 that acquires the position information of the delivery vehicle from the positioning unit 23.

  The server 3 according to the present embodiment is almost the same as the first embodiment, except that the control unit 32 includes a vehicle allocation plan creation unit 324. The dispatching plan creating unit 324 creates dispatching plan information for dispatching a delivery vehicle.

<Processing operation of information processing system 1A>
Next, an example of processing by the information processing system 1A according to the present embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  In the processing flow of FIG. 13, when the delivery vehicle is already determined, the user selects the permitted route to create a vehicle allocation plan. The processing flow from the reception of the vehicle information to the output of at least one permission route information corresponding to the vehicle information is the processing flow described in the first embodiment (that is, steps S31, S32, S41, S42). Therefore, the following step will be described from step S32.

  The control unit 22 of the administrator terminal 2 determines whether the user has selected the permitted route information (Step S71). In the example of the screen in FIG. 14, the delivery vehicle (tractor: “Nanawa 673-3100”, trailer: “Body 01”) is indicated on the left side of the screen, and a plurality of permission routes corresponding to the delivery vehicle are indicated. It is displayed on the right side of the screen. In this screen example, the permitted routes are displayed in units of route sets.

  The user selects one route set from the plurality of route sets displayed on the right side of the screen. When the selection is completed, the user presses the completion button B at the lower right of the screen.

  The information output unit 222 outputs information for displaying a list of route sets when a plurality of permitted route information is acquired by the information acquiring unit 321. As a result, even when the number of permitted routes is large, the number of displays is reduced, so that the user can easily select a route.

  In the screen of FIG. 14, “select from vehicles” on the tab T1 is selected, and the user selects a delivery vehicle first. On the other hand, in FIG. 16 described later, “select from route set” on the tab T2 is selected, and the user selects the route set first.

  When the permission route information is selected by the user as described above (that is, when the completion button B is pressed) (S71: Yes), the information reception unit 221 of the administrator terminal 2 outputs the information through the information output unit 222. Accepted route information selected by the user from the accepted allowed route information. In the case of FIG. 14, the information receiving unit 221 receives a route set selected by the user from the route sets displayed in a list.

  Then, the information accepting unit 221 transmits the accepted permission route information to the server 3 via the communication unit 21 together with the vehicle information accepted in Step S31 (Step S72).

  Upon receiving the vehicle information and the permitted route information transmitted from the administrator terminal 2, the vehicle allocation plan creation unit 324 of the server 3 creates the vehicle allocation plan information based on the received vehicle information and the permitted route information (Step S81). In the vehicle allocation plan information, the delivery vehicle received in step S31 is assigned to the permitted route received in step S72. As a result, the delivery vehicle is used for delivery to the destination (delivery destination) of the permitted route. The created vehicle allocation plan information is transmitted to the terminal devices 2 and 2A.

  Upon receiving the vehicle allocation plan information from the server 3, the information output unit 222 of the manager terminal 2 outputs the received vehicle allocation plan information to the output unit 25 (Step S73).

  According to the above processing flow, when a delivery vehicle is already determined, the user can easily create a dispatch plan by selecting a route set according to the destination from a list of route sets corresponding to the delivery vehicle. can do.

  Conversely to the above processing flow, when the delivery destination has already been determined, it is possible to select a delivery vehicle from a list of route sets having the destination as the destination. The processing flow in this case will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The processing flow from receiving the permitted route information to outputting the vehicle information corresponding to the permitted route information is the same as the processing flow (S51, S52, S61, S62) described in the first embodiment. The following step from step S52 will be described.

  The control unit 22 of the administrator terminal 2 determines whether the vehicle information has been selected by the user (Step S101). The screen example in FIG. 16 shows that a route set (first point: “Navi Time Center”, second point: “Nabi Warehouse”) is specified on the left side of the screen, and the route set is specified. Are displayed on the right side of the screen. In this screen example, the permitted route is displayed in the form of a route set. Thus, even when the number of permitted routes is large, the user can easily select a route. In this case, the information receiving unit 221 receives the permitted route information in units of the route set.

  The user selects one delivery vehicle from the plurality of delivery vehicles displayed on the right side of the screen. When the selection is completed, the user presses the completion button B at the lower right of the screen. In addition, in step S52, when only the vehicle information of the vehicle that can deliver the delivery specified by the user is displayed, the user selects any one of the displayed vehicle information.

  When the vehicle information is selected by the user (that is, when the completion button B is pressed) (S101: Yes), the information receiving unit 221 of the administrator terminal 2 determines the user based on the vehicle information output by the information output unit 222. Accepts the selected vehicle information.

  Then, the information receiving unit 221 transmits the received vehicle information to the server 3 via the communication unit 21 together with the permitted route information received in Step S51 (Step S102).

  Upon receiving the vehicle information and the permitted route information transmitted from the administrator terminal 2, the vehicle allocation plan creation unit 324 of the server 3 creates the vehicle allocation plan information based on the received vehicle information and the permitted route information (Step S111). In the vehicle allocation plan information, the delivery vehicle accepted in step S102 is assigned to the permitted route accepted in step S51. The created vehicle allocation plan information is transmitted to the terminal devices 2 and 2A.

  Upon receiving the vehicle allocation plan information from the server 3, the information output unit 222 of the manager terminal 2 outputs the received vehicle allocation plan information to the output unit 25 (Step S103).

  According to the above processing flow, when the delivery destination has already been determined, the user can easily select a delivery vehicle from a list of delivery vehicles corresponding to the route set having the destination as the destination, thereby facilitating the dispatch plan. Can be created.

  In the processing flow described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16, the manager terminal 2 is set as the driver terminal 2A, and the vehicle information and the permitted route information are transmitted from the driver terminal 2A to the server 3 so that the vehicle allocation plan information is created. You may. In this case, for example, the driver selects a delivery vehicle on the screen of the driver terminal 2A shown in FIG. 17A and presses “Next”. After that, the route set is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 17B, and “Complete” is pressed. The selection order may be reversed. By enabling the delivery of the delivery vehicle from the driver terminal 2A in this way, it is possible to cope with, for example, a situation in which a sudden schedule change or the like occurs and the driver is required to act without waiting for the dispatch instruction of the manager. can do.

  When there are a plurality of permitted routes corresponding to the delivery vehicle selected by the driver, the driver terminal 2A may display only the permitted routes narrowed down based on the traffic congestion state or the like.

  The terminal devices 2 and 2A may display a route on which the delivery vehicle is to run based on the created vehicle allocation plan information. The route to be traveled is displayed based on the permitted route information selected at the time of creating the vehicle allocation plan. By displaying the scheduled travel route in this way, the driver or the administrator can easily grasp the delivery route to be traveled.

  Further, the terminal devices 2 and 2A may perform navigation to the destination based on the planned traveling route. During navigation, voice guidance may be provided. For example, sound output such as "Run on a permissible route. Be careful of deviation from the route." A warning may be given.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, the terminal devices 2 and 2A may display other routes permitted for the selected delivery vehicle, together with the scheduled traveling route. In the example of the screen of FIG. 18, the symbol R indicates the scheduled route of the delivery vehicle, and the symbol S indicates the permitted route of the delivery vehicle. The planned route R and the other permitted route S are displayed so as to be distinguishable from each other by changing the color, thickness, line type, and the like of the line indicating the route. In this example, the scheduled traveling route R is composed of general roads r1 and r3 and a highway r2 and is displayed so as to be distinguishable from each other.

  In this way, by displaying the planned traveling route together with the other permitted routes so as to be distinguishable, the driver or the administrator can easily grasp which of the routes permitted for the delivery vehicle is to be traveled. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the terminal devices 2 and 2A may display the actual driving route together with the permitted route. That is, the information output unit 222 also outputs information for displaying the actual driving route based on the position information of the driver terminal 2A acquired by the position information acquiring unit 224 and the permitted route on the map so as to be comparable. Good.

  In the example of the screen of FIG. 19, the symbol V indicates the actual driving route, and the symbol W indicates the permitted route. By displaying the actual driving route together with the permitted route in this manner, the driver or the administrator can easily grasp whether or not the vehicle has deviated from the permitted route. Note that the terminal devices 2 and 2A may display the actual driving route even before the delivery vehicle reaches the destination.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, even when the number of delivery vehicles and permission routes is large, the user can select the delivery vehicles and permission routes (routes) according to the delivery vehicles and delivery destinations to be used. By selecting (set), the vehicle allocation plan information can be easily promoted. As a result, it is possible to contribute to smooth and efficient physical distribution.
