Description

The present disclosure relates to a shared vehicle dispatch device, a traffic operation system, a shared vehicle dispatch method, and a shared vehicle dispatch program.

Conventionally, various vehicles such as private cars, taxis, and buses have been used to go to destinations when shopping or going to hospitals. However, an increasing number of people are unable to drive their own cars due to the return of licenses due to aging and anxiety about driving skills. Therefore, the demand for taxis and buses is increasing instead of private cars. However, there is not always a vehicle that operates a bus to a desired destination at a desired time. In addition, if there is a distance from home to the bus stop, it is necessary to walk a long distance before getting on the bus, which is particularly burdensome for the elderly.

Therefore, it is desired to operate a fixed-route bus that can change the traveling route according to the boarding request from the user. According to Patent Document 1, when a user makes a boarding reservation at the center using a mobile telephone, the center acquires the user's position information, makes a boarding reservation according to the position information, and places the reserved place. A boarding reservation system that sets an operation route for a vehicle such as a bus so as to stop is disclosed.

On the other hand, taxis are convenient because they pick you up at your home, but they are more expensive than buses and it costs money to use them frequently. In Patent Document 2, a user accesses a shared vehicle operation schedule database by means of a shared vehicle reservation means, selects a desired departure time, departure place and destination from the shared vehicle operation schedule data, makes a reservation, and registers the acceptance of the reservation. After the confirmation is confirmed, the reservation is set by specifying the payment method of the predetermined fee, and the shared vehicle provider accesses the shared vehicle operation schedule database by the reservation status confirmation means, and from the reserved departure time, departure place and destination. A method of reserving a shared vehicle is disclosed so that a shared vehicle can be used with peace of mind, certainty, and at a fixed low rate by selecting and registering a shared vehicle that can be dispatched.

Then, the communication unit 17 of the shared vehicle dispatching device 10 of the data center 1 obtains vehicle information indicating the shared vehicle derived by the out-licensing unit 16 and time information indicating the estimated time of arrival at the disembarkation position indicated by the vehicle information. The selected information including the selected information is selectively transmitted to the operation manager information terminal 3 (step ST27). The selection information received by the operation manager information terminal 3 is transmitted to the user P by the operation manager (step ST28).

For example, when there are three shared vehicles derived by the out-licensing unit 16, vehicle information indicating the three shared vehicles and time information indicating the estimated time of arrival of the three shared vehicles at the disembarkation position are selected. It is transmitted to the user P as information. For example, as the selection information of Candidate 1, the vehicle information is "Taxi No. 3 car not shared" and the estimated arrival time is 17:00. As for the selection information of Candidate 2, the vehicle information is "Taxi No. 5 with shared passengers" and the estimated arrival time is 17:15. As for the selection information of Candidate 3, the vehicle information is "Bus No. 1" and the estimated time of arrival is 17:30.
