FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the vehicle management system 1. As shown in FIG. 5, in the server device 30, the functions of the acquisition unit 31, the vehicle allocation management unit 32, the rule specifying unit 33, and the information output unit 34 are realized.

The acquisition unit 31 acquires various signals or information such as various requests, notifications, or location information from the user terminal 10 or the in-vehicle terminal 20 via the network 2. The acquisition unit 31 acquires a boarding request including destination information (for example, a unique identifier assigned to the facility which is the destination) regarding the destination of the passenger from the user terminal 10.

The vehicle allocation management unit 32 performs so-called vehicle allocation management such as allocation of vehicles to passengers, route identification of vehicles, and operation management. That is, the vehicle allocation management unit 32 allocates vehicles to the passengers of the user terminal 10 based on the boarding request acquired from the user terminal 10 by the acquisition unit 31. Specifically, the vehicle allocation management unit 32 selects a vehicle that provides a transportation service to the passenger from a group of vehicles that are in the vicinity of the passenger who made the above request or a group of vehicles that are scheduled to travel in the vicinity of the passenger. .. Further, the vehicle allocation management unit 32 specifies a route on which the vehicle should travel to the destination. Therefore, the vehicle allocation management unit 32 includes map data showing a map including roads, buildings, facilities, etc., and a map / traffic data storage unit that stores traffic data related to traffic conditions on the road indicated by the map data. It is provided with a vehicle data storage unit that stores vehicle data related to the vehicle. The map data includes information on the position of each road, the direction and the number of lanes (road width) that can be traveled on each road, the signal on each road, and the like. The traffic data includes information on traffic jams and accidents on each road. In addition, the traffic data includes information on the traffic volume sensed by a predetermined sensing device in each area, and from a macro perspective of how vehicles on the road move according to conditions such as the date and time. May include statistical information of. The vehicle data includes identification information of each vehicle (which may be identification information for identifying the in-vehicle terminal 20), position, speed, traveling direction, traveling route, number of passengers in each vehicle, and the like. It includes information about the destination, etc. and the rules that the vehicle follows before transporting passengers to the destination. These map data, traffic data, and vehicle data are used to identify the route of the vehicle and the time required for the vehicle to move along the route. A predetermined algorithm such as Dijkstra's algorithm or A * (A-Star) algorithm is used to specify the route.

The vehicle allocation management unit 32 manages the vehicle allocation as described above based on the rules that each vehicle follows until the passengers are transported to the destination. The rule specifying unit 33 uses the destination information acquired for the passengers in each vehicle to specify the rules to be followed until the vehicle transports the passengers to the destination. The destination information includes information on the type of facility that is the destination. The type of facility means what the facility looks like, such as a hospital, beauty salon, movie theater, stadium, store, station, tourist attraction, park, intersection, office building, factory, house, etc. .. In the present embodiment, the rules for the vehicle to transport passengers to each facility differ depending on the type of such facility.

The rules here include rules regarding the time required for a vehicle carrying passengers to arrive at the facility or the arrival time thereof. For example, if the hospital is the destination, the passengers may have a desire to arrive as soon as possible, and if the beauty salon is the destination, the passengers may have a desire to arrive by the reserved time. It is possible, and if the destination is a movie theater or stadium, passengers may have a desire to arrive by the time the screening or match begins. Such a type of facility can be defined in advance as a facility (a facility corresponding to the first destination information) in which the arrival time of passengers is limited. The rule specifying unit 33 stores the types of facilities where the arrival times of such passengers are limited. On the other hand, for example, when a park, an intersection, or a tourist spot is a destination (a facility corresponding to the second destination information), the passengers have the above-mentioned hospital, beauty salon, movie theater, or stadium regarding their arrival time. Compared to the case of the destination, it is considered that they may not have a clear request. Such a type of facility can be defined in advance as a facility where the arrival time of passengers is not limited. The rule specifying unit 33 stores the types of facilities where the arrival time of such passengers is not limited. Here, the rule specifying unit 33 targets a facility of a type with a limited arrival time, such as a hospital, a beauty salon, a movie theater, or a stadium, among the plurality of rules stored in advance. If so, specify a rule that reduces the time it takes for a vehicle carrying passengers to arrive at the facility.

More specifically, (1) the rule of specifying the route to reach the destination earliest without allowing other passengers to ride while transporting a certain passenger, and (2) transporting a certain passenger. When there are multiple candidates for routes that allow other passengers to ride, rules that specify routes that minimize the delay with respect to the originally planned arrival time on the premise that passengers are not allowed to ride, and (3) ) Even if one passenger is allowed to ride with another passenger during transportation, the delay time with respect to the originally planned arrival time on the premise that the passenger is not allowed to ride is a predetermined ratio of the originally planned required time (for example, 10). %) Can be considered as a rule to specify the route up to. For example, on a route specified for a passenger on the premise that the vehicle does not allow passengers to ride, when the vehicle was scheduled to arrive at the destination at a certain date and time, a plurality of passengers (for example, three passengers A, B, and C) were assigned to the vehicle. If the passenger's request for boarding is accepted, it is necessary to partially change the route of the original vehicle to the boarding position of the passenger who requested the boarding. Here, when the above rule (2) is used, when passenger A is allowed to ride, a delay of 5 minutes occurs from the initial arrival time, and when passenger B is allowed to ride, from the initial arrival time. In the case where a delay of 10 minutes occurs and a delay of 12 minutes occurs from the initial arrival time when passenger C is allowed to ride, the route is changed so as to allow passenger A to ride with the minimum delay. Will be.

Further, in this case, assuming that the time required to reach the destination on the route specified on the premise that the vehicles do not allow passengers is 50 minutes, for example, when the above rule (3) is used, the required time is 50. The route will be changed to allow passenger A to ride within 5 minutes, which is 10% of the minutes. Therefore, if the destination is a facility where the arrival time of passengers is not limited, passengers may be allowed to ride with a route change that is delayed by, for example, 10 minutes from the initial arrival date and time. If the destination is a facility with a limited arrival time, only passengers with a route change that may be delayed within, for example, 5 minutes from the original arrival date and time may be allowed. In this way, when the destination is the first destination (for example, a facility of a type with a limited arrival time), the rule specifying unit 33 has the destination as the second destination (for example, the arrival time is limited). Specify rules that reduce the delay in arrival time at the destination by allowing sharing, as compared to the case of a facility of a type that is not provided.

Another rule is a rule regarding the identification of the route that a vehicle carrying passengers takes before arriving at the facility. For example, if the hospital is the destination, the passengers may have a desire to arrive early, while if the tourist attraction is the destination, for example, the passengers may have the desire to arrive slowly while looking at the scenery. It is possible that it is. Therefore, when a hospital or the like is the destination, a rule is used in which the shortest route is prioritized as the route through which the vehicle carrying the passengers passes. On the other hand, when a tourist spot or the like is the destination, a rule is used in which the main road is prioritized as a route for vehicles carrying passengers to pass. In addition, for example, when a tourist spot is a destination, it is possible that the side that manages the operation of the vehicle has a request for more passengers to ride. Therefore, when such a tourist spot is the destination, the main road is not prioritized as the route through which the vehicle carrying the passengers passes, and the area where the demand for passengers is considered to be high (for example, the area including the road with a large number of passengers). ) Is prioritized as the route through which the vehicle carrying the passengers passes.

In addition, as another rule, there is a rule regarding the permission or restriction of riding on a vehicle. For example, if the hospital is the destination, the passengers may have a desire to arrive early, while if the tourist attraction is the destination, for example, the passengers may have the desire to arrive slowly while looking at the scenery. It is possible that it is. Therefore, when a hospital or the like is the destination, a rule is used that does not allow sharing. On the other hand, when a tourist spot or the like is the destination, a rule is used to allow sharing. In this case as well, an example of using the rules (1) to (3) described above can be considered.

The rule table in which the relationship between the type of the facility as the destination and the rule as described above is described is stored in the rule specifying unit 33 of the server device 30. FIG. 6 shows an example of this rule table. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the type of facility to be a destination (destination type), the identifiers of one or more facilities belonging to that type (destination ID group), and when that facility is used as a destination, the rules should be followed. Rules (rules regarding travel time, rules regarding route identification, rules regarding allowance or restriction of sharing) are associated. In this rule table, it is possible to arbitrarily decide what kind of facility is associated with what kind of rule.

The information output unit 34 outputs information based on vehicle allocation management by the vehicle allocation management unit 32. Specifically, the information output unit 34 relates to the route specified by the vehicle allocation management unit 32 to the driver of the vehicle by transmitting information indicating the route to the vehicle-mounted terminal 20 of the vehicle via the network 2. Present information. In addition, the information output unit 34 presents information about the vehicle and the route to the passenger by transmitting information indicating the specified route and the specified vehicle to the user terminal 10 of the passenger.

[motion]
Next, the operation of the server device 30, particularly when determining the provision form of the transportation service, will be described. The procedure of each process shown in FIG. 7 is described in the program implemented in the server device 30. In FIG. 7, the acquisition unit 31 acquires a request for boarding from a passenger (step S11). This request includes the location information of the passenger (that is, the user terminal 10) and the destination information regarding the destination specified by the passenger.

The rule specifying unit 33 refers to the rule table as illustrated in FIG. 6, and uses the destination information acquired for the passengers in each vehicle to follow the rules until the vehicle transports the passengers to the destination. Identify (step S12).

The vehicle allocation management unit 32 manages vehicle allocation based on the specified rule (step S13). That is, the vehicle allocation management unit 32 allocates vehicles to the passengers of the user terminal 10 based on the boarding request acquired from the user terminal 10 by the acquisition unit 31. Specifically, the vehicle allocation management unit 32 selects a vehicle that provides a transportation service to the passenger from a group of vehicles that are in the vicinity of the passenger who made the above request or a group of vehicles that are scheduled to travel in the vicinity of the passenger. .. Further, the vehicle allocation management unit 32 specifies the route on which the vehicle should travel to the destination based on the specified rule (rule regarding the specification of the route). In addition, boarding requests from other passengers may be obtained while the vehicle is traveling to its destination. At this time, depending on the relationship between the positions of the other passengers and the positions of the vehicles, this vehicle may be the target of riding. At this time as well, the vehicle allocation management unit 32 manages the vehicle allocation based on the specified rules. That is, the vehicle allocation management unit 32 determines whether or not to allow the vehicle to ride based on the specified rules (rules regarding the required time, rules regarding the specification of the route, and rules regarding the sharing), and when permitted. Decide which route to take.

The information output unit 34 outputs information based on vehicle allocation management by the vehicle allocation management unit 32 (step S14). Specifically, the information output unit 34 presents information on the route specified by the vehicle allocation management unit 32 to the driver of the vehicle by transmitting information indicating the route to the vehicle-mounted terminal 20 of the vehicle. .. In addition, the information output unit 34 presents information about the vehicle and the route to the passenger by transmitting information indicating the specified route and the specified vehicle to the user terminal 10 of the passenger.

According to the embodiment described above, it is possible to provide a mechanism that can dynamically change the rules during passenger transportation of a vehicle that allows passengers to ride according to the destination of the passengers.

[Modification example]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. The above-described embodiment may be modified as follows. Further, the following two or more modified examples may be combined and carried out.

[Modification 1]
The rule specifying unit 33 may specify the rule based on the situation of the destination. The situation of the destination here is, for example, when the destination is crowded with users (specifically, the number of users exceeds the threshold value), or when the destination is a hospital, passengers. The appointment time for the medical examination is X1 o'clock, or if the destination is a stadium, the start time of the match held at that stadium is X2 hours. In such a situation, a rule is used to shorten the time required for the vehicle carrying passengers to arrive at the facility. Specifically, for example, there are rules such as minimizing the delay with respect to the originally scheduled arrival time, arriving by the appointment time of the consultation or the start time of the match, giving priority to the shortest route, and not allowing sharing. Conceivable. The status of such a destination is transmitted from a communication device installed in the facility of the destination via the network 2, and is input to the user terminal 10 when the acquisition unit 31 acquires this or when the passenger makes a boarding request. However, it is conceivable that the acquisition unit 31 acquires this, or the acquisition unit 31 acquires it in cooperation with an external service or the like that distributes the statistical information of the population for each area or facility.

Further, the rule specifying unit 33 may investigate the situation of the destination based on the number of passengers who have designated the same destination, and specify the rule according to the situation of the destination. For example, if there are many passengers (specifically, the number of people above the threshold) in a common time zone (for example, within the last hour) for a specific type of facility such as a stadium or a hall, the rule specifying unit 33 For example, refer to the schedule database of the facility stored by the external device, refer to the contents of the event held at the facility at that time, and the attributes such as the number of mobilizations, and specify which rule to apply. You may try to do it.

[Modification 2]
The rule specifying unit 33 may specify the rule based on the passenger information regarding the situation of the passengers on board. The passenger situation here is, for example, seriously ill or traveling. Depending on these various situations, any rules to be followed are described in the rules table. For example, if a passenger is seriously ill, there may be rules such as minimizing the delay with respect to the originally planned arrival time, giving priority to the shortest route, or not allowing passengers to ride. In addition, when passengers are traveling, rules such as limiting the delay to the originally planned arrival time to 15%, giving priority to major roads, and allowing passengers to ride can be considered. Such a passenger situation may be input to the user terminal 10 when the passenger makes a boarding request, and the acquisition unit 31 may acquire this.
