Description

  The present invention relates to a system, an apparatus and a method for managing the movement (active state) of a pick-up vehicle used in, for example, a kindergarten, a nursery school, a swimming school, a cram school, a day care facility.

  In kindergartens and nursery schools, children's transportation buses have conventionally been operated to reduce the burden on parents' transportation and to allow many children to go to school safely. In general, when operating a shuttle bus for children, multiple shuttle bus stop locations (bus stops) where multiple children can gather are set. The shuttle bus goes around this stop in order to put the children on the shuttle bus when they go to the park, and remove them from the shuttle bus when they leave the park. Therefore, a timetable is created that defines the estimated arrival time of the shuttle bus for each stop location. Based on the estimated time of arrival indicated by this timetable, the parent / guardian takes the child to the stopping place to use when going to the park and puts them on the shuttle bus, and leaves the shuttle bus at the stopping place to use when leaving the park. To pick you up.

  The shuttle bus may arrive later than the estimated arrival time due to the influence of road conditions, or there may be a stopping place to pass due to the fact that multiple children happen to be absent. . If the arrival of the shuttle bus is delayed, the parents are worried and will make inquiries by telephone, which will increase the burden on the kindergarten and the nursery school. Also, if the pick-up bus arrives early, the child will be anxious that the guardian is not picking up, and the pick-up bus will stop until the guardian arrives so as not to obstruct traffic. Since it is necessary to be there, the burden on the driver of the shuttle bus and the teachers who are on board will increase.

  Therefore, conventionally, a system has been considered in which position information acquired from a GPS (Global Positioning System) is periodically transmitted to the garden side to manage the operation status of the shuttle bus. As another method, a system that manages the operation status of the shuttle bus by sending the status of the shuttle bus such as arrival and departure at the stop location to the garden side when the driver operates a button is considered. ing. However, in the case of the former method using the current position measured by GPS, it is not possible to clearly distinguish between arrival and departure at the stopping place, and when there are multiple stopping places in the vicinity, which stopping place has been reached? It is difficult to distinguish. Further, in the case of the latter method, the burden on the driver of the shuttle bus is heavy, and if the user forgets to press the button, he / she will not be able to properly grasp the operating status.

  Therefore, an arrival / departure / passage determination method, such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1 described later, that accurately determines arrival, departure, and passage of a vehicle, reduces the driver's burden, and performs advanced vehicle operation management, is used. It is possible.

  In the case of the invention described in Patent Document 1 described above, it is possible to grasp the situation such as arrival, departure, and passage at each stop location (bus stop). However, in the case of the invention described in Patent Document 1, for example, like a kindergarten or a nursery school shuttle bus, whether or not the vehicle is traveling so as to follow a predetermined stop location for each route in a predetermined order You can't check. In the case of a shuttle bus for kindergartens and nursery schools, depending on the route, the same road may run in different directions, or the order to follow may be far away, but a stop may be set at a close position. .

  In the case of a shuttle bus for a kindergarten or a nursery school, for example, when the number of children who happen to be absent is high, the bus may be operated without stopping at a stop location where there are no children getting on or off that day. That is, the stopping place where the vehicle should stop may change only on that day. For this reason, in the case of a shuttle bus for kindergartens and nurseries, it is possible to properly understand whether or not the bus is operating at a set stop location so that it can be operated in order so that it will stop at that day. Must be able to.

  This is not limited to the kindergarten and nursery school shuttle buses, but also shuttle buses such as swimming schools, cram schools, day service facilities, and community buses and demand buses. The same is true for the bus.

  In view of the above, the present invention is a route that allows a vehicle to follow a predetermined stop location in a predetermined order, and even if a stop location where the vehicle does not stop occurs, the vehicle is operated on the route. The purpose is to enable appropriate management of vehicle dynamics (active state) and improve user convenience.

In order to solve the above problems, the dynamic management system of the invention according to claim 1 is

Receiving means for receiving the current position from the vehicle-mounted terminal,
Determination means for determining whether or not the vehicle has passed, for each of the stop locations, based on the current position received by the reception means and information stored in the stop location information storage means,
Update means for updating the second section of the stop location information storage means of the stop location determined to have passed the vehicle by the determination means to passed
Equipped with
The determination means of the dynamic management server,
If the current position from the vehicle-mounted terminal located in the predetermined area of the departure place is out of the predetermined area, it is determined that the vehicle has passed through the departure place,
The current position from the vehicle-mounted terminal is within the predetermined area of the first stop location in the tracing order, and the first section of the first stop location is the stop location at which the vehicle should stop. In the case where the second section of the first stop location has not passed, it is determined that the first stop location has been passed.
The current position from the vehicle-mounted terminal is within the predetermined area of the N-th (where N is an integer equal to or greater than 2) stop location, and the second position of the (N-1) -th stop location. In the case where the section has already passed, the first section of the N-th stop location indicates that the stop location is a stop location, and the second section of the N-th stop location has not passed. In the dynamic management system, it is determined that the vehicle has passed the N-th stop location .

  As a result, the current position of the vehicle, the order in which the vehicle is stopped, the information indicating a predetermined area determined based on the position of the vehicle stop location, and the first segment indicating whether the vehicle is stopped or not stopped are displayed. Considering this, it is possible to appropriately determine whether the vehicle has passed or not passed at each stop location. As a result, even if there is a stop place where the vehicle does not stop on a route that allows the vehicle to follow the predetermined stop place in a predetermined order, the movement of the vehicle operating on the route (acting Status) can be managed appropriately.

  According to the present invention, in a route that allows a vehicle to follow a predetermined stop location in a predetermined order, even if a stop location where the vehicle does not stop occurs, the dynamics of the vehicle operating on the route ( Active status can be managed appropriately. Then, since the stop location where the vehicle has passed and the stop location where the vehicle has not passed can be appropriately grasped, the user can be notified of this and the convenience of the user can be improved.

[Configuration example of dynamic management server 1]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining a configuration example of the activity management server of the embodiment. The communication I / F 101 realizes a communication function that enables transmission and reception of information through the communication network 2. The control unit 102 is a computer device unit (not shown) configured by connecting a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory) through a CPU bus. Controls each unit of the server 1. The storage device 103 includes a hard disk as a large-capacity recording medium, and writes, stores, reads, changes, deletes information (data).

  Then, the activity management server 1 includes a map information DB 104, an operator management DB 111, a user management DB 112, and a route management DB 113, as shown in FIG. Here, the character “DB” is an abbreviation for a database (Data Base). In addition, the operator management DB 111, the user management DB 112, and the route management DB 113 constitute a dynamic platform 110 for managing the dynamics of the kindergarten bus 5. Further, each of the map information DB 104, the operator management DB 111, the user management DB 112, and the route management DB 113 is formed on a large-capacity recording medium such as a hard disk.

  The map information DB 104 stores map data for displaying a city map, a road map, a wide area map, a local map, and a national map that are used to show the user the travel route and the current position. The map data for displaying the city map, road map, wide area map, local map, and national map includes, for example, vector data, raster data, and annotation data for drawing the map.

  The operator management DB 111 stores a plurality of stop locations in advance, and stores and holds information about an operator who operates a vehicle on a route that follows the plurality of stop locations in a predetermined order. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of data stored in the operator management DB 111. As shown in FIG. 3, operator data including an operator ID, an operator name, an address, a telephone number, an email address, a business type, an operation type, and other information is registered in the operator DB 111.

  The example shown in FIG. 3 shows operator data for "□□□ Kindergarten" that operates a kindergarten bus. The movement management server 1 can manage movements of a large number of vehicles operated by a large number of operators. Therefore, the operator management DB 111 operates vehicles for transportation of users. It is possible to store operator data (information about operators) about a large number of operators such as kindergartens, nursery schools, swimming schools, and day service facilities.

  The user management DB 112 stores and holds information about users of vehicles operated by operators. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of data stored in the user management DB 112. As shown in FIG. 4, information about users is registered in the user management DB 112 for each operator (operator ID), each route (route ID), each bus stop (bus stop ID), that is, each stop location. . If the information about the user is information about the user of the kindergarten bus 5, as shown in FIG. 4, the user ID, the user name, the guardian name, the address, the telephone 1, the telephone 2, the e-mail address, It consists of notification method and notification timing.

  The notification method indicates a method for notifying that the vehicle arrives at the stop location (bus stop) used, and in the case of the example shown in FIG. 4, notification by email is instructed. There is. The notification timing indicates the timing of notifying that the vehicle arrives at the stop location (bus stop) used by the vehicle. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 4, the notification timing indicates that the kindergarten bus 5 has passed the stop location immediately before the stop location used by itself. In addition, the telephone 1 and the telephone 2 can register two telephone numbers that can be contacted, such as the telephone number of a home fixed telephone and the telephone number of a mobile telephone terminal carried by the user. Has become.

  The route management DB 113 stores and holds information (stop location data) regarding the set stop location (bus stop) for each set route. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of data stored in the route management DB 113 (route management data). As shown in FIG. 5, in the route management DB 113, the route name and the total number (total number of users) are registered for each operator (operator ID) and each route (route ID), and Information on a plurality of set stop locations (bus stops) is registered in the order in which the vehicle (kindergarten bus 5) follows.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the information about the stop location includes stop location, position, geofence, number of people, absence, category 1, scheduled time, arrival time, and category 2. The stop location is information including a stop location ID having a two-digit number and a stop location name. The position is latitude and longitude indicating the location of each stop location. The geofence means a virtual geographical boundary line, and in this embodiment, the circumference of a circle having a radius of 100 m centered on the location of each stop is a geofence. The area inside this geofence, that is, the area inside the circumference of a circle with a radius of 100 m centered on the location of each stop location, is used to determine whether the kindergarten bus has arrived at the stop location or has not arrived yet. The designated area is.

  In addition, the number of people is the number of users (children) who use each stop location, and the absence is the number of users who use each stop location who do not use each stop location due to absence etc. on the day (so-called The number of people who are absent). Then, the category 1 is information indicating stop / non-stop (passage) of the vehicle at each stop location. Therefore, if the number of users listed in the column for number of passengers matches the number of absentees listed in the column for absent persons, it means that there is no user (0 person) at the stop location. As will be described later, it is possible to change (update) the category 1 indicating stop / non-stop to non-stop (pass). Since the kindergarten bus always stops at the departure place and the arrival place, the division 1 of the departure place and the arrival place is "stop".

  The scheduled time indicates the estimated arrival time of the kindergarten bus 5 at each stop location, and the arrival time indicates the actual arrival time of the kindergarten bus 5 at each stop location. Regarding the departure place, the scheduled time is the scheduled departure time and the arrival time is the time when the departure place was carried out. And the division 2 shows passing / not passing for each stop location. In the state before the kindergarten bus 5 departs from the place of departure (initial state), all of the categories 2 are unpassed. Further, in the stop location data shown in FIG. 5, OFF is “0” while the vehicle (kindergarten bus in this embodiment) on the route corresponding to the stop location data is in operation, and ON is “1” when the operation is completed. It is equipped with a service end flag.

  As will be described later in detail, the movement management server 1 of this embodiment determines whether or not the kindergarten bus 5 has passed each stop location based on the current position from the kindergarten bus 5 and the registration information in the route management DB 113. To do. Then, when the movement management server 1 determines that the vehicle has passed through the stop location, the status 2 of the relevant stop location stored in the route management DB 113 is changed from a state indicating non-passage to a state indicating passing. Update.

  In this way, the route management DB 113, for each of a plurality of stop locations set for one route, the order of tracing, a predetermined area determined based on the position of the stop location, and the stop of the kindergarten bus 5. / The first division indicating non-stop and the second division indicating passing / non-passing of the kindergarten bus 5 are stored and retained. Further, as described with reference to FIG. 5, the route management DB 113 can also grasp the information on the number of users at each stop location, the number of absentees, the estimated arrival time, and the arrival time. ing.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a stop location and a geofence for each stop location. In FIG. 6, the location of each stop location of the route management DB 113 described with reference to FIG. 5 is shown on the map. The position ST corresponds to the location of the □□□ kindergarten, which is the departure place of the kindergarten bus 5. Position P1 is the stop position where the kindergarten bus 5 heads first, position P2 is the stop position where the kindergarten bus 5 heads second, and position P3 is the position where the kindergarten bus 5 heads third. There is. Similarly, position P4 is the fourth stop position for the kindergarten bus 5, position P5 is the fifth stop position for the kindergarten bus 5, and position P6 is the sixth stop position for the kindergarten bus 5. Is shown.

  Therefore, for the route with the route ID “0001” managed by the route management DB 113 shown in FIG. 5, the kindergarten bus 5 departs from the starting point ST, and the position P1 → the position P2 → the position P3 → the position P4 → the position The route is from P5 to position P6 and returns to position ST. Then, from the position of each stop location of the information of the route management DB 113 of FIG. 5 and the information of the geofence of each stop location, as shown by the dotted line around each stop location in FIG. Offenses gf0 to gf6 are set.

  In this embodiment, each of the geofences gf0 to gf6 is set so as to correspond to the circumference of a circle having a radius of 100, centered on the position (location position) of each stop location. The geofences gf0 to gf6 are used as one criterion for determining whether or not the kindergarten bus 5 has passed each stop location including the departure place.

  The operator registration unit 121, the user registration unit 122, and the route setting unit 123 perform processing such as data registration on the operator management DB 111, the user management DB 112, and the route management DB 113.

  The operator registration unit 121 performs a process of registering the operator data described with reference to FIG. 3 in the operator management DB 111 based on the operator information transmitted from the management terminal 3 and received through the communication I / F. Further, the operator registration unit 121 also performs a process of changing or deleting the operator data in the operator management DB 111 according to the change request or the deletion request transmitted from the management terminal 3.

  The user registration unit 122 performs a process of registering the user data described in FIG. 4 in the user management DB 112 based on the user information transmitted from the management terminal 3 and received through the communication I / F. In addition, the user registration unit 122 also performs a process of changing or deleting user data in the user management DB 112 according to a change request or a deletion request transmitted from the management terminal 3.

  In response to the request from the management terminal 3, the route setting unit 123 provides the management terminal 3 with the map information as shown in FIG. 6, for example. In the management terminal 3 that has received the map, the map is displayed on the display unit, the stop location of the kindergarten bus is indicated on the map, the name of the stop location (bus stop) is input, and the stop location is displayed. Enter the required information such as the number of users and the estimated time of arrival. The information input in the management terminal 3 in this manner is transmitted to the movement management server 1 as information regarding the stop location, and is supplied to the route setting unit 123 through the communication I / F.

  The route setting unit 123 performs the process of registering the route management data in the route management DB described with reference to FIG. 5, based on the information about the stop location from the management terminal 3. In addition, the route setting unit 123 changes the route name and the total number of users in the route management DB 113 in accordance with a change request or a deletion request transmitted from the management terminal 3, and adds, changes, or deletes information about each stop location. You can also do it. Further, it is possible to delete the data of the route management data unit of the route management DB 113.

  The stop / non-stop management unit 124 is based on the notification data such as absentee from the user terminal 6, the number of absent persons of the information on the stop location corresponding to the corresponding route management data of the route management DB 113 shown in FIG. And a process of updating the information of category 1 indicating whether the vehicle is stopped or not stopped. That is, it is assumed that the notification data such as absence from the user terminal 6 is received through the communication I / F 101. In this case, the stop / non-stop management unit 124 first updates the number of absent persons regarding the information regarding the corresponding stop location in the corresponding route management data of the route management DB 113. Then, the stop / non-stop management unit 124 changes the classification 1 from stop to non-stop (pass) when the number of absentees is the same as the number of users in the information on the stop location. I do.

  The movement management unit 125 manages the movement (active state) of the kindergarten bus 5 based on the current position of the kindergarten bus 5 from which the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 is brought in and the route management data of the route management DB 113. . Specifically, the dynamic state management unit 125 appropriately determines whether the stop location where the kindergarten bus 5 stops has passed or has not passed, and when it determines that it has passed, the route management data of the route management DB 113 is determined. , Processing for updating the section 2 of the information on the corresponding stop location from non-passed to passed. That is, the movement management unit 125 has a function as a determining unit and a function as an updating unit.

  Regarding the processing performed by the movement management unit 125, the route management data of the route management DB 113 shown in FIG. 5 exists, and as described with reference to FIG. 6, a geofence is set for each stop location. The case will be specifically described.

  First, regarding the departure point ST, the current position of the kindergarten bus 5 sequentially transmitted from the management terminal 3 which is within a predetermined area inside the geofence gf0 of the departure point ST shown in FIG. 6 is the geofence. When the vehicle has moved out of gf0, it is determined that the vehicle has passed the departure place ST. Then, the movement management unit 125 updates the division 2 of the information regarding the stopping place of the departure place ST from the state indicating “not passed” to the state indicating “passed”.

  Next, for the first stop location P1, the current position of the kindergarten bus 5 that is sequentially transmitted from the management terminal 3 is within a predetermined area inside the geofence gf1 for the first stop location P1. When it enters, the route management data of the route management DB 113 is confirmed. Then, when the division 1 of the information about the stop location for the first stop location P1 indicates “stop” and the division 2 is “not passed”, the first stop location is passed. It is determined that it has been done, and the section 2 for the first stop location P1 is updated from the state indicating “not passed” to the state indicating “passed”.

  In other cases, the update of category 2 (update of status) is not performed. That is, it is assumed that, for the first stop location, for example, there are many absentees and there are no users, so that the category 1 is “not stop (pass)”. In this case, it is not targeted for updating of Category 2. Further, even if the second stop location is already "passed" for the first stop location, the second stop location is not updated.

  The second and subsequent stop locations are processed differently from the departure point ST and the first stop location P1. However, since the same processing is performed for each of the second and subsequent stop locations, the processing will be described here as the processing for the Nth stop location PN (N is an integer of 2 or more). For the Nth stop PN, if the current position of the kindergarten bus 5 sequentially transmitted from the management terminal 3 enters a predetermined area inside the geofence gfN for the Nth stop PN. Check the route management data in the route management DB 113.

  Then, the movement management unit 125 confirms whether or not the category 2 of the information regarding the stop location of the immediately preceding stop location is in a state indicating “passed”. Here, the last stop location is “stop” in the category 1 of the information about the stop location, the stop order is before the current stop location (Nth stop location), and the current stop location is the current stop location. It means the stop location closest to the stop location (Nth stop location) in the stop order. The stop location immediately before the N-th stop location is the (N-1) th stop location in order. However, tentatively, the division 1 of the N-1th stop location indicates "not stop (passing)", and the division 1 of the N-2th stop location immediately before that is "stop". In some cases, the N−2nd stop location is the stop location immediately before the current stop location, which is the Nth stop location.

  Then, it is assumed that the second stop location Category 2 is in a state of "passed". The movement management unit 125 indicates that the category 1 of the information regarding the stop location of the N-th stop location PN that is the target of the process is “stop”, and the section 2 is “not passed”. In some cases, it is determined that the vehicle has passed the Nth stop location. In this case, the movement management unit 125 updates the section 2 of the information regarding the N-th stop location from the state indicating “not passed” to the state indicating “passed”. In other cases, similar to the processing for the first stop location described above, the update of status 2 (status update) is not performed.

  In this way, the movement management unit 125 appropriately determines whether each stop location is “unpassed” or “passed” and appropriately sets the status (state) indicated by the section 2 of the information regarding each stop location. I'm trying to update and manage. Then, the route management data of the route management DB 113 enables the kindergarten bus 5 to appropriately grasp which stop place is currently passing and which stop place is heading.

  The notification processing unit 126 realizes a function of notifying the movement (active state) of the kindergarten bus 5 in response to a request from the user terminal 6. Specifically, information that displays the current location of the kindergarten bus on the map, indicates the stop location that is heading next, and displays the stop location that has passed in the form of a timetable and the stop location that is going in the future. To notify the user terminal 6.

  In addition, the notification processing unit 126, based on the user data in the user management DB 112, protects the user of the kindergarten bus 5 that needs to be notified under the control of the control unit 102 each time the vehicle passes through each stop location. Persons will be notified of the arrival of the kindergarten bus by e-mail. The notification is issued by the guardian of the user at the stop location next to the stop location that has passed or the user at the stop location next to the stop location according to the notification timing of the user data in the user management DB 112. This is to notify parents of arrival.

  In this way, the dynamics management server 1 manages the dynamics of the kindergarten bus 5 by appropriately managing the operator data of the operator management DB 111, the user data of the user management DB 112, and the route management data of the route management DB 113. I am trying to manage properly. And, as needed, a function of notifying the guardian of the user of the movement of the kindergarten bus 5 is realized.

To the external device.

  The vehicle-mounted terminal 4 having such a configuration accesses the movement management server 1 through the transmission / reception antenna 401A and the wireless communication unit 401, and receives necessary application software and various data. Then, when it is brought into the kindergarten bus 5, a predetermined application software is executed to measure the current position of the own device at every predetermined timing and transmit it to the movement management server 1.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example of notification data transmitted from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 to the activity management server 1. As shown in FIG. 9, the notification data includes columns for division, operator, route, current position, and current time. In the division column, "1" is input for the operation start notification, "2" is input for the current position notification, and "3" is input for the operation end notification. The operator ID of the kindergarten bus 5 to which the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 is brought in is entered in the operator column. In the field of route, the route ID of the route on which the kindergarten bus 5 in which the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 is brought in is operated is input. The current position is the current position acquired through the GPS unit 405 of the vehicle-mounted terminal 4, and the latitude and longitude indicating the current position of the kindergarten bus 5 to which the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 is brought in are input. As the current time, the time when the current position is acquired is input.

  With the notification data shown in FIG. 9, the current position of the kindergarten bus 5 to which the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 has been brought in is notified, and the state of whether the operation has started, is in operation, or has ended is also notified. To be able to. Moreover, the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 does not only notify the current position to the movement management server 1. For example, the in-vehicle terminal 4 receives, from the dynamic management server 1, information indicating that a stop location where there are many absent persons and no users exist, and displays the information on the display unit 407D to the user such as the driver. It can also be provided as a service.

  On the other hand, the user terminal 6 having the same configuration as the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 shown in FIG. 8 accesses the activity management server 1 through the transmission / reception antenna 401A and the wireless communication unit 401 to provide necessary application software and various data. Receive. Then, by executing a predetermined application software, registration is performed to the movement management server 1 when the kindergarten bus 5 is not used, such as absent, late, and early leaving, and information on the movement of the kindergarten bus 5 is provided. Is received from the dynamic management server 1.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an example of notification data such as absence and request data transmitted from the user terminal 6 to the activity management server 1 and request data for requesting information provision. As shown in FIG. 10, the notification (request) data includes columns for classification, operator, route, stop location, user, and notification information. If the data is notification data, "4" is entered in the category field, and if the data is request data, "5" is entered. The operator ID of the kindergarten bus 5 to be used is entered in the operator field. In the route field, the route ID of the route on which the kindergarten bus 5 to be used is operated is entered.

  In addition, the stop place ID of the stop place of the kindergarten bus 5 to be used is input in the stop place column. The user ID of the user terminal is entered in the user field. When the first division is “4” and is used as notification data, the notification information field shows “1” for absence, “2” for late arrival, and “3” for early leave. Is input. In addition, when the first division is “5” and is used as request data, the notification information field includes “4” for requesting position information and “5” for requesting operation status. Is entered.

  As a result, when the head category is “4” and is used as notification data, the activity management server 1 is notified (contact) of absence, lateness, and early departure by the notification data. As a result, the dynamic management server 1 can update the absence column regarding the information regarding the corresponding stop location of the route management data shown in FIG. 5, and when the number of users and the number of absent persons are the same, The stop location can be specified as the stop location that “passes”.

  In the case of being absent, neither the going nor the returning is used. Therefore, the absent column of the information regarding the corresponding stop location of both the going route and the returning route, and the category 1 are updated if necessary. Further, in the case of being late, the going is not used and the returning is used, so the absence column of the information regarding the corresponding stop location of the going route and the category 1 are updated as necessary. Also, in the case of early departure, since the user uses the going route and does not use the returning route, the absence column of the information regarding the corresponding stop location of the return route and the category 1 are updated if necessary. In this way, even if the route is the same, the route is different on the way back and on the way back.

  Further, when the first division is “5” and is used as request data, it is possible to request operation information or timetable information by the request data. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining an example of the notification image displayed on the display screen of the user terminal.

  When the operation information is requested by the request data shown in FIG. 10, the display information for displaying the operation information as shown in FIG. 11A is provided from the activity management server 1. The display information of the operation information indicates the stop location (the location of the bus stop mark with the numbers 1, 2, and 4) on the map and a part of the operating route indicated by the bold line. A mark MK indicating the current position of the middle kindergarten bus 5 is displayed. Thus, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 11 (A), it is possible to visually recognize that the kindergarten bus 5 has passed the stop location P1 and is traveling toward the stop location P2 at the present time. To be

  In addition, in the screen shown in FIG. 11A, in addition to the map information, the operation information indicates that the operation date, the day of the week, the operation status is in operation, and the operation is normal. Further, as shown in FIG. 11 (A), the operation information display screen also includes an update button requesting that the screen be updated to the latest information and a timetable button requesting provision of timetable information. It is provided. By operating these, the dynamic management server 1 is requested to update the operation information shown in FIG. 11 (A) to the latest one, and the dynamic management server 1 is requested to provide timetable information. You can

  When the timetable information is requested by the request data shown in FIG. 10, display information for displaying the timetable information as shown in FIG. 11B is provided from the activity management server 1. In the display information of the timetable information, the estimated arrival time is shown for each stop location, and the actual arrival time is displayed at the stopped stop locations that have passed. The current position of the kindergarten bus is indicated by the black circle PP. Therefore, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 11 (B), "□□□ Kindergarten" starts at 8:01 and the first stop "1st Street AA-mae" is passed at 8: 4. It is clearly shown that you are heading towards the second stop, "2nd Street BB Front". Further, it is shown that the estimated arrival time at the second stop, "2nd Street BB-mae", is 8:06.

  In the case of the timetable information shown in FIG. 11B as well, an update button requesting that the screen be updated with the latest information and an operation requesting that operation information be provided below the display screen. Information buttons are also provided. By operating these buttons, the timetable information can be updated, or the operation information shown in FIG. 11A can be displayed by requesting the operation information.

  In this way, the user terminal 6 can notify the dynamic management server 1 of this when the stop location is not used due to absence or the like. In addition, the user terminal 6 sends a request to the movement management server, receives the operation information (FIG. 11A) of the kindergarten bus 5, and displays it, or timetable information (FIG. 11). (B)) can be displayed after receiving the provision. That is, the kindergarten bus 5 can appropriately notify the user of the user terminal 6 where the vehicle is traveling and where the vehicle is heading next.

[Process of in-vehicle terminal 4 and process of dynamic management server 1]
Next, in the movement management system of this embodiment, the details of the processing executed by the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 and the processing executed by the movement management server 1 that are necessary for appropriately managing the movement of the kindergarten bus 5 will be described. , Will be described with reference to the flowchart.

[Processing of in-vehicle terminal 4]
FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the current position notification process executed by the vehicle-mounted terminal 4. The process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12 is a process performed by the in-vehicle terminal 4 brought into the kindergarten bus 5, for example, by executing the in-vehicle terminal application software provided in advance by the dynamic management server 1. . The in-vehicle terminal application software is executed in the control unit 402 of the in-vehicle terminal 4 by selecting a corresponding item from a predetermined menu displayed on the display unit 407D of the in-vehicle terminal 4, for example.

  Then, the control unit 402 first controls the transmission information processing unit 411 to form the operation start notification of the classification “1” which is the notification data described with reference to FIG. 1 (step S101). The operator ID and the route ID of the operation start notification are set in advance. The current position is located immediately before by the GPS unit 405, and the current time is acquired from a clock circuit (not shown in FIG. 8) when the operation start notification is formed.

  In response to this, the route confirmation information is transmitted from the activity management server 1, so the control unit 402 of the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 receives the route confirmation information through the transmission / reception antenna 401A and the wireless communication unit 401, and displays it. It is displayed on the section 407D (step S102). The route confirmation information has, for example, the form shown in FIG. 11 (A), and a plurality of stop locations provided on the route are displayed on the map.

  In this route confirmation information, a stop place where an absentee has occurred and no user is present is, for example, displayed in reverse video or displayed in red characters, and is the user of the in-vehicle terminal. The driver is notified. This allows the driver of the kindergarten bus 5 to recognize that the stop location is a stop location where the vehicle passes without stopping.

  Note that the route confirmation information can be displayed in the form of the list shown in FIG. That is, the route confirmation information can be displayed in either of the map display mode shown in FIG. 11A and the list display mode shown in FIG. 11B. Based on this route confirmation information, the user of the in-vehicle terminal 4 such as the driver of the kindergarten bus appropriately recognizes the route to be operated, the stopping place to stop and the stopping place that does not need to stop, and the kindergarten bus 5 The operation of can be started.

  After that, the control unit 402 of the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 measures and acquires the current position of the own device through the GPS unit 405 (step S103). Then, the control unit 402 controls the transmission information processing unit 411 to form the current position notification of the category “2” described with reference to FIG. 9, and transmits this to the movement management server 1 (step). S104). The operator ID and the route ID of the current position notification formed in step S104 are set in advance. The current position is determined by the GPS unit 405 in step S103, and the current time is acquired by a clock circuit (not shown in FIG. 8) when the current position is acquired in step S103. .

  Then, in the case of this example, for example, the provision of the display information for notifying the operation information in the mode shown in FIG. 11A is received from the activity management server 1 and displayed on the display unit 407D (step S105). Note that in step S105, it is also possible to receive and display the display information for notifying the timetable information in the mode shown in FIG. 11B.

  After that, the control unit 402 receives the operation end confirmation from the dynamic management server 1 for its own device, the passage confirmation of the immediately preceding stop location described later (step S106), and the relevant confirmation from the dynamic management server 1. Determines whether a response is required (step S107). For example, no response is required for normal operation end confirmation. However, even if the operation is confirmed, if the kindergarten bus 5 returns to the destination (final destination) without stopping at the stop location that should be stopped, or at the second and subsequent stop locations In the updating process of No. 2, if the immediately preceding stop has not passed, a response as to whether this is appropriate is required.

  In the determination process of step S107, when the confirmation received from the activity management server 1 determines that the response is required, the control unit 402 displays the response input screen on the display unit 407D, and the response is input. Accept (step S108). In this case, the control unit 402 displays a message prompting the input of a response on the display unit 407D or outputs it as a voice message through the voice output unit 408 and the speaker 409. After that, the control unit 402 transmits the accepted response to the activity management server 1 via the transmission information processing unit 411, the wireless communication unit 401, and the transmission / reception antenna 401A (step S109).

  Even if the operation is confirmed, if the kindergarten bus 5 has returned to the destination (final destination) without passing through the stop location that should be stopped, and if this is not correct, for example, stop There are also cases where you have skipped a stop that should be done. In such a case, a response with a problem is returned to the dynamic management server 1, but at the same time, the operation end confirmation from the dynamic management server 1 is canceled. As a result, the kindergarten bus 5 can take measures such as heading to the stopped stop.

  After the processing of step S109 and when the confirmation received from the activity management server 1 in step S107 determines that a response is not required, the process proceeds to the determination processing of step S110. In this case, the control unit 402 determines whether the confirmation from the movement management server 1 is the operation completion confirmation (step S110), and when it is determined that the operation completion is not confirmed, the processing from step S103 is repeated. Even if the confirmation received from the movement management server 1 in step S106 is the operation end confirmation, if the operation end confirmation is canceled in step S109 described above, in step S110, the confirmation received in step S106 is the operation end confirmation. Is not determined. Also in this case, the processing from step S103 is repeated.

  In the determination processing of step S110, when it is determined that the confirmation from the dynamic management server 1 is the operation end confirmation, an operation end notification is formed and a predetermined end processing such as transmitting this to the dynamic management server 1 is performed. (Step S111). Specifically, in step S111, based on the information provided from the movement management server 1 in step S105, the vehicle travels around each stop location and corresponds to the position ST that is a departure point and an arrival point (destination). Confirm that you have reached the inside of the Geofence gf0. Then, the control unit 402 controls the transmission information processing unit 411 to form an operation end notification of the category “3” shown in FIG. 9, and transmits this to the movement management server 1.

  Further, as described above, since the operation end confirmation from the movement management server 1 is received and the stop place to stop is still unpassed, a response is requested, and the confirmation response is input in step S108. To do. In this case, if the user of the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 inputs a response indicating that there is no problem, the operation end confirmation from the movement management server 1 is not canceled, so the operation end confirmation is received in step S110. What is done is determined. Therefore, in this case, in step S111, the operation end notification of the section “3” shown in FIG. 9 is formed and transmitted to the movement management server 1.

  In this way, when the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 is brought into the kindergarten bus 5, by executing the application software that performs the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12, the operation start notification, the current position notification, and the operation end notification are activated. It can be sent to the management server 1. Then, based on the operation start notification, the current position notification, and the operation end notification from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4, it is possible to appropriately manage the movement (active state) of the kindergarten bus 5 to which the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 has been brought in. To be done.

  As described above, the operation start notification is transmitted when the operation starts, and the operation end notification is transmitted when the operation ends. On the other hand, the current position notification is repeated at every predetermined timing from the start of operation to the end of operation, and the latest current position and the latest current time are transmitted.

[Processing of dynamic management server 1]
13 and 14 are flowcharts for explaining the status update processing (update processing of category 2) of the activity management server 1. The processes shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 and 14 are processes that can be constantly executed by the control unit 102 of the activity management server 1 for each operator and each route. This is because various operators operate vehicles for pickup and drop-off throughout the day, such as morning, daytime, night, and midnight.

  Then, the control unit 102 of the activity management server 1 receives the notification data from the in-vehicle terminal 4 through the communication I / F 101 (step S201), and in step S201, does the notification data from the in-vehicle terminal 4 be received? It is determined whether or not (step S202). When it is determined that the notification data from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 is not received in the determination processing of step S202, the processing from step S201 is repeated.

  In the determination process of step S202, when it is determined that the notification data from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 is received, the control unit 102 determines whether the received notification data is the operation start notification having the head section “1”. (Step S203). When it is determined that the operation start notification is received in the determination process of step S203, the control unit 102 controls the behavior management unit 125 to execute the target route identification process (step S204), and the process from step S201 is performed. repeat. The details of the target route specifying process executed in step S204 will be described later.

  In addition, when it is determined in the determination process of step S203 that the received notification data is not the operation start notification, the received notification data can be determined to be the current position notification. Therefore, the control unit 102 controls the movement management unit 125, and the current position of the current position notification is the stop position of one of the stop locations on the route specified by the operator ID and the route ID of the current position notification. It is determined whether or not it is within a predetermined area inside the geofence (whether or not it is within the geofence) (step S205). As described with reference to FIG. 6, the geofence at each stop location can be identified based on the location of each stop location. Therefore, for each geofence at each stop location, the current location of the current location notification received this time is used. It will be determined whether or not the indicated position belongs.

  In brief, as shown in FIG. 6, the geofences gf0 to gf6 at the respective stop locations are virtually drawn on the map, and the position indicated by the current position is shown on the map, so that the current position is It is possible to determine whether it is in the offense. Further, in the case of the geofence, it is possible to specify which stop location the geofence is within. Then, in the determination processing of step S205, it is assumed that it is determined that the position indicated by the current position of the received current position notification is not located in the geofence at any stop location. That is, it is assumed that the current position is determined to be outside the geofence.

  In this case, the control unit 102 determines whether or not the departure place flag for each route for each operator is "0 (zero)" (step S206). The departure place flag indicates whether or not the stop location of the passing / unpassed determination target is the departure place at this point. That is, when the departure place flag is “0 (zero)”, the stop location of the passing / not passed determination target is the departure place, and when the departure place flag is “1”, the passing place / not passed. It is possible to determine that the stop place of the passage determination target is other than the departure place.

  In the determination process of step S206, when it is determined that the departure place flag is “0 (zero)”, that is, when the processing target stop place is determined to be the departure place, the control unit 102 determines that the movement management is performed. The unit 125 is controlled to execute the starting point updating process (step S207). The details of the departure point updating process executed in step S207 will be described later. Then, in the determination processing of step S206, when it is determined that the departure place flag is not “0 (zero)” and after the departure place update processing of step S207, the control unit 102 performs the processing from step S201. I will repeat.

  In addition, it is assumed that it is determined that the position indicated by the current position of the current position notification received this time is located in a predetermined area inside the geofence at any of the stop locations in the determination processing of step S205. That is, it is assumed that the current position is determined to be within the geofence. In this case, the control unit 102 determines whether or not the geofence to which the current position of the current position notification this time belongs is the geofence gf0 of the departure place ST (step S208).

  In the determination process of step S208, it is assumed that it is determined that the geofence to which the current position of the current position notification of this time belongs is the geofence gf0 of the departure place ST. In this case, since the kindergarten bus 5 is still in the geofence gf0 of the departure place ST and it cannot be determined that the departure place ST has been passed, the control unit 102 repeats the processing from step S201.

  It is assumed that, in the determination processing of step S208, it is determined that the geofence to which the position indicated by the current position of the current position notification this time belongs is not the geofence gf0 of the departure place ST. In this case, the control unit 102 determines whether or not the geofence to which the position indicated by the current position of the current position notification this time belongs is the geofence gf1 of the first stop location P1 (step S209).

  In the determination processing of step S209, when it is determined that the position indicated by the current position of the current position notification received this time is within the geofence gf1 of the first stop location P1, the control unit 102 controls the movement management unit 125. Then, the first update process is executed (step S210). When it is determined in the determination process of step S209 that the current position of the current position notification received this time is not within the geofence gf1 of the first stop location P1, the control unit 102 determines that the dynamic state management unit. By controlling 125, the second and subsequent update processes are performed (step S211).

  That is, it is assumed that it is determined that the position indicated by the current position of the current position notification received this time is not within the geofence gf1 of the first stop location P1 in the determination process of step S209. In this case, the position indicated by the current position of the current position notification received this time is not within the geofence gf0 of the departure place or within the geofence gf1 of the first stop, but the geofence of the second and subsequent stops. This is because it can be determined that it is within.

  After the first update process of step S210 and after the second and subsequent update processes of step S211, the process proceeds to the process of FIG. 14 and the end confirmation process is executed (step S212). In step S212, the control unit 102 controls the activity management unit 125, and refers to the stored data in the route management DB 113 based on the received operator ID and route ID of the current position notification from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4.

  Then, all stop locations (stop locations where Category 1 is “Stop”) on the route have been passed (category 2 is “Passed”), and the current location notified by this current location notification Make sure that is inside the geofence at the destination (destination). The operation of the route ends if all the stop points on the route that have to be stopped have passed and the current position notified by the current position notification is within the geofence of the destination (destination). You can tell that you did. Even if the current position is inside the geofence of the destination (destination), if all the stop locations on the route that should be stopped have not passed, it can be determined that the operation has ended, but It is necessary to ask for a response if there is a stop that has been skipped.

  Then, the control unit 102 determines whether or not the operation of the route has ended based on the end confirmation processing of step S212 (step S213), and when it determines that the operation has ended, forms an operation end confirmation, This is transmitted to the corresponding vehicle-mounted terminal 4 (step S214). As mentioned above, it is possible to determine that the operation has ended, but if it is necessary to request a response whether there is a stopped place that has been skipped, it is necessary to request a response input. An end-of-service confirmation with information is created and transmitted.

  After that, as described with reference to FIG. 12, the operation end notification and the confirmation response transmitted from the in-vehicle terminal 4 are received (step S215), and the information received from the in-vehicle terminal 4 is the operation end notification. It is determined whether or not (step S216). In the determination process of step S216, when it is determined that the information received from the in-vehicle terminal 4 is the operation end notification, the vehicle of the operator on the route, in this example, the operation of the kindergarten bus 5 is completed. Can be determined. In this case, as the operation end processing of the route, the operation end flag of the corresponding data of the route management DB 113 is turned on "1" (step S217).

  After the processing of step S217, when it is determined that the operation has not ended in step S213, and when it is determined in step S216 that the information received from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 is not the operation end notification, step S201 of FIG. Repeat the process from. In this way, the status update process for each route of each operator is performed.

  The first update process of step S210 is an update process of information about the stop location for the first stop location. Further, the second and subsequent update processing in step S211 is the update processing of the information regarding the stop locations for each of the second and subsequent stop locations. Details of the first update process and the second and subsequent update processes will be described later.

  Then, in the movement management server 1, by the status update processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, for each stop location followed by the kindergarten bus 5, it is appropriately determined whether or not it has passed, and the information regarding each stop location is displayed. The division 2 can be updated appropriately. Next, the target route identification process performed in step S204 of the status update process shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the departure point update process performed in step S207, the first update process performed in step S210, and the step S211 are performed. Each of the second and subsequent update processes will be described.

[Target route identification processing]
FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the target route identification processing executed in step S204 of the status update processing shown in FIGS. In this target route identification process, the control unit 102 controls the activity management unit 125 to perform a process of identifying the target route (step S301). Specifically, in step S301, the control unit 102 notifies the movement management unit 125 of the operator ID and the route ID included in the received operation start notification from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4. The activity management unit 125 refers to the route management DB 113 based on the operator ID and the route ID from the control unit 102 and identifies the route management data to be used.

  Next, the movement management unit 125, under the control of the control unit 102, sets "0 (zero)" to the departure point flag and the operation end flag for the identified route, that is, the route identified by the operator ID and the route ID. Is set (step S302). As a result, the stop location for determining whether the vehicle has passed or has not passed is specified as the departure point, and the operation of the kindergarten bus is started on the route, indicating that it is in operation. Then, the movement management unit 125 forms the route confirmation information of the mode shown in FIG. 11A based on the route management data specified in step S301 and the map information of the map information DB 104, and notifies it of the operation start notification. Is transmitted and provided to the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 that is the transmission source (step S303).

  Then, the control unit 102 exits the target route identification processing routine shown in FIG. 14, returns to the processing of step S204 of the status update processing shown in FIG. 13, and repeats the processing from step S201.

[Departure location update processing]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the departure point update processing executed in step S207 of the status update processing shown in FIG. When the departure place updating process is executed in step S207, the current position of the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 brought into the kindergarten bus 5 (the current position of the kindergarten bus) is outside the geofence and the departure place flag is "0". (Zero) ". In this case, the current position in the geofence moves to the outside of the geofence, and the geofence can be determined to be the geofence of the departure place.

  Therefore, under the control of the control unit 102, the movement management unit 125 classifies the operator ID notified by the current position notification and the information about the departure place (information about the stop location) of the route management data specified by the route ID. 2 is updated from "not passed" to "passed" (step S401). Then, the control unit 102 controls the notification processing unit 126 to execute the notification process to the user (step S402).

  In step S402, the notification processing unit 126 extracts the user data of the user who is the notification destination of this time from the user management DB 112. Here, the extracted user data is a bus stop ID whose operator ID and route ID are the same as the operator ID and route ID of the current position notification, and which is determined according to the notification timing of the user data. I have. Then, the notification processing unit 126 notifies the user of the arrival of the kindergarten bus according to the extracted user data by a preset notification method.

  In the case of this example, the bus stop ID determined according to the notification timing is the departure place at which the current stop location for handling whether or not the vehicle has already passed. For this reason, when the notification timing is "one before", the user at the first stop with the bus stop ID "01", which is the stop before the departure, is the notification destination this time. . Similarly, when the notification timing is "two before", the user at the second stop with the bus stop ID "02", which is the stop before the departure by two, also becomes the notification destination this time. Become.

  In this way, all the user data of the user at the stop location of the bus stop ID determined according to the notification timing is extracted from the user management DB 112, and the arrival of the kindergarten bus 5 is notified to all the users. Then, for the user terminal possessed by the guardian of the user, "Kindergarten bus 5 has passed the previous stop," "Kindergarten bus 5 has passed the second stop. The arrival of the kindergarten bus 5 such as "Yes." Can be notified to the guardian of the kindergarten that is the user.

  Thereafter, under the control of the control unit 102, the movement management unit 125 sets "1" to the departure place flag for the route identified by the operator ID and the route ID of the current position notification (step S403). As a result, it is indicated that the update processing of the status of category 2 for the departure place is completed. Then, the control unit 102 exits the departure point update processing routine shown in FIG. 16, returns to the processing of step S207 of the status update processing shown in FIG. 13, and repeats the processing from step S201.

[First update process]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining the first update process executed in step S210 of the status update process shown in FIG. The first updating process shown in FIG. 17 is a updating process of category 2 for the first (first) stop place where the kindergarten bus 5 should be heading next to the departure place. When the first update process is executed in step S210, the current position of the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 brought into the kindergarten bus 5 (the current position of the kindergarten bus) is within the geofence and the geofence is the first. It is specified that it is the geofence gf1 of the stop place.

  Therefore, the departure place ST should have already passed. However, for example, when the start-up of the process shown in FIG. 12 is delayed in the vehicle-mounted terminal 4, it is considered that the division 2 of the information regarding the departure place of the route management data may not be updated. Therefore, under the control of the control unit 102, the movement management unit 125 determines that the category 2 of the information regarding the departure place of the route management data specified by the operator ID and the route ID notified by the current position notification is “passed”. It is determined whether or not (step S501). When it is determined in the determination processing of step S501 that the division 2 of the information on the departure place is not "passed", the division 2 of the information on the departure place is updated to "passed" (step S502). Then, after the updating process of step S502 and the determining process of step S501, when it is determined that the section 2 of the information regarding the departure place is “passed”, the process proceeds to step S503.

  Next, under the control of the control unit 102, the movement management unit 125 determines that the category 1 of the information regarding the first stop location in the route management data specified by the operator ID and the route ID notified by the current position notification is “ It is determined whether the vehicle is "stopped" and the category 2 is "not passed" (step S503). When it is determined that the condition of step S503 is satisfied, the movement management unit 125 updates the category 2 of the information regarding the first stop location from “not passed” to “passed” (step S504). Then, the control unit 102 controls the notification processing unit 126 to execute the notification process to the user (step S505). The process of step S505 is similar to the process of step S402 of the starting point updating process described with reference to FIG.

  After the processing of step S505 and when it is determined in the determination processing of step S503 that the determination condition of step S503 is not satisfied, the control unit 102 ends the first update processing routine shown in FIG. In this case, the control unit 102 returns to the processing of step S210 of the status update processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 and executes the processing from step S212 of FIG.

[Second and subsequent update processing]
FIG. 18 is a flowchart for explaining the second and subsequent update processes executed in step S211 of the status update process shown in FIG. The second and subsequent update processes shown in FIG. 16 are update processes of category 2 for the second and subsequent stop locations that are neither the departure place nor the first (first) stop location.

  Even in the second and subsequent update processes, the second and subsequent update processes are executed, which means that the departure place ST has already been passed. Therefore, as in the case of the first update process of FIG. 17, under the control of the control unit 102, the movement management unit 125 causes the route management data specified by the operator ID and the route ID notified by the current position notification. It is determined whether or not Category 2 of the information regarding the departure place is “passed” (step S601). When it is determined in the determination processing of step S601 that the division 2 of the information on the departure place is not "passed", the division 2 of the information on the departure place is updated to "passed" (step S602). Then, after the update processing of step S602 and the determination processing of step S601, when it is determined that the division 2 of the information regarding the departure place is “passed”, the processing proceeds to step S603.

  Then, the control unit 102 identifies which stop location the geofence is located at which the current location of the current location notification received this time is located (step S603). The process of step S603 corresponds to the process of identifying the stop location of the passing / unpassing determination target. Then, as described with reference to FIG. 6, the geofence at each stop location can be specified based on the location of each stop location.

  Therefore, by the determination processing in step S205 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 13 described above, the position indicated by the current position of the current position notification received this time is the Nth (N is an integer of 2 or more) stop position PN. It is determined that it is within the geofence gfN. Therefore, in step S603, it is possible to specify that the N-th stop location is the stop location that is the passing / unpassed determination target this time, using the determination result.

  Then, under the control of the control unit 102, the movement management unit 125 first divides the information about the stop location immediately before the route management data specified by the operator ID and the route ID notified by the current position notification into 2 Is determined to be "passed" (step S604). In the determination processing of step S604, the classification 2 of the information about the stop location of the stop location immediately before the Nth stop location, which is the stop location of the passing / not passed determination target, is already "passed". This is a process of determining whether or not

  Here, as described above, the first stop location is “stop” in the information 1 about the stop location, and the stop order is before the current stop location (Nth stop location). And the closest stop location in the stop order to the current stop location (Nth stop location). Therefore, the stop location immediately before the Nth stop location is the (N-1) th stop location in order.

  However, tentatively, the division 1 of the N-1th stop location indicates "not stop (passing)", and the division 1 of the N-2th stop location immediately before that is "stop". In some cases, the N−2nd stop location is the stop location immediately before the current stop location, which is the Nth stop location. More specifically, when the current stop location is the stop location P2 and the previous stop location P1 is “not stop (passing)”, the stop location is one stop before the stop location P2. The place is the departure place ST.

  In the determination processing of step S604, it is assumed that it is determined that the classification 2 of the information regarding the stop location of the stop location immediately before the current stop location is not “passed” (remains “not passed”). . In this case, as will be described later, in some cases it may not be "passed", but for example, because the vehicle has bypassed a road that is closed due to road construction or a traffic accident, It is considered that there is a case where the arrival order of is different from the original schedule.

  Therefore, under the control of the control unit 102, the movement management unit 125 forms a confirmation request as to whether or not the stop location immediately before the current stop location does not have to be “passed” and processes it. It is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 that is the transmission source of the target current position notification (step S605). After that, the control unit 102 receives the response transmitted from the in-vehicle terminal (step S606), and the response does not have to be "passed" at the immediately preceding stop location (OK). ) Is indicated (step S607).

  In the determination processing of step S604, when it is determined that the section 2 of the information about the stop location of the stop location immediately before the current stop location is “passed”, the control unit 120 determines that Proceed to the discrimination processing. Similarly, when it is determined in the determination process of step S607 that the response from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 indicates that the previous stop location does not have to be "passed" (OK), Also, the control unit 120 proceeds to the determination processing in step S608.

  Then, under the control of the control unit 102, the movement management unit 125 refers to the information regarding the stop location of the stop location of the geofence where the current position is located, and the category 1 is “stop” and the category 2 is “ It is determined whether or not "not passed" (step S608). In the process of step S608, the category 1 of the information regarding the Nth stop location of the route management data specified by the operator ID and the route ID notified by the current position notification is "stop", and the category 2 is " This is a process of determining whether or not it has not been passed.

  When it is determined that the condition of step S608 is satisfied, the movement management unit 125 updates the division 2 of the information regarding the N-th stop location from “not passed” to “passed” (step S609). Then, the control unit 102 controls the notification processing unit 126 to execute the notification process to the user (step S610). The process of step S610 is similar to the process of step S505 shown in FIG. 17 or the process of step S402 shown in FIG.

  After the processing of step S610, control unit 102 ends the second and subsequent processing routines shown in FIG. Further, in the determination processing of step S607, when the response from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 determines that the immediately preceding stop location must be “passed” (not OK), the update processing for category 2 is performed. Is not performed, and the second and subsequent processing routines shown in FIG. 18 are ended. Similarly, when it is determined that the condition of step S608 is not satisfied, the updating process of the section 2 is not performed and the second and subsequent process routines shown in FIG. 18 are ended. Then, when the second and subsequent processing routines shown in FIG. 18 are ended, the control unit 102 returns to the processing of step S211 of the status update processing shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, and performs the processing from step S212 of FIG. It will be.

  In the case of the example shown in FIG. 6, the stop location P2 where the vehicle stops second and the stop location P4 where the vehicle stops fourth are provided adjacent to each other. For this reason, the kindergarten bus 5 may reach both geofences. However, in the case of the second and subsequent update processes, it is also determined whether or not the immediately preceding stop location has already passed, so it is determined whether the second stop location P2 has been passed or the fourth stop location has been passed. There is no mistake.

  As described above, by the processing of the movement management server 1 shown in FIGS. 13 to 18, even when a plurality of stop locations of the kindergarten bus 5 are provided adjacent to each other, it is possible to appropriately determine which stop location is passed. It is possible to discriminate and accurately grasp the movement of the kindergarten bus 5.

  Further, as described above, the user of the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 is asked to confirm whether or not it is appropriate that the previous stop has not passed. For this reason, even if the route is suddenly changed due to road construction or a traffic accident, it is possible to appropriately update the section 2 of the information about the stopping place that has reached. Further, even if the vehicle arrives at a stop location that was originally supposed to be stopped but has been skipped in a different order, the section 2 of the information regarding the stop location regarding the stop location is appropriately updated. be able to.

  Moreover, the guardian of the kindergarten bus 5 who is the user of the kindergarten bus 5 can notify the dynamic management server 1 that the kindergarten bus 5 will not be used when the user is absent through the user terminal 6. As a result, the dynamic management server 1 notifies the driver of the kindergarten bus 5 through the in-vehicle terminal 4 that the vehicle will not stop (pass through) at the stop location where there is no user, and the stop location where there is no user is passed. You can operate as you do.

  Then, even if a passing stop occurs, the movement management server 1 can appropriately grasp the movement of the kindergarten bus 5, so that the guardian of the kindergarten bus 5, which is a user of the kindergarten bus 5, can obtain accurate operation information. And timetable information can be provided.

  In addition, when there is a stop place that does not stop because there is no user, if the estimated arrival time of the stop place thereafter changes, the corresponding stop place is determined by the function of the notification processing unit 126 of the dynamic management server 1. It is also possible to perform processing so as to notify the guardian of the user of the above through the user terminal 6.

  Further, the arrival time may be delayed due to traffic congestion or some obstacle. In such a case, according to a request from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4 or a request from the management terminal 3 that receives the report from the vehicle-mounted terminal 4, the dynamic management server 1 uses the user terminal 6 to protect the parent of the user. It is also possible to notify the delay situation to the.
