Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention relates to a vehicle operation management device that is mounted on a vehicle such as a bus and collects data such as the number of passengers getting on and off and fare revenue.

``Prior art'' Conventionally, as a device for issuing tickets to passengers on a shared bus and collecting a small amount of fare from the passengers, as well as collecting data such as the number of passengers getting on and off and the fare revenue,
As shown in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 54-89700, a ticket with the alighting stop and fare printed on it is issued to the passenger through an operation by the passenger when boarding the train, and the passenger deposits the ticket and fare in the fare box when alighting. When the ticket is inserted, the reading device reads the alighting stop and fare from the ticket, and the verification device compares the read alighting stop and fare with the actual alighting stop and amount of money inserted. , the alighting stop and fare are stored in a storage device.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' However, the conventional vehicle operation data collection device disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1989-89700 is
As mentioned above, since the reading device and verification device are required, the entire system becomes complicated and expensive, and since only the alighting stop and fare are stored in the storage device, the number of passengers getting on and off at each stop and the fare are stored in the storage device. In addition to revenue, it is not possible to perform detailed and comprehensive operation management that aggregates the number of passengers and fare revenue for each time period, the number of passengers getting on and off all vehicles for each route, and fare revenue. To prevent an adult passenger from boarding a train using a child's fare illegally, since the fare is read and the read alighting stop and fare are mechanically or automatically compared with the actual alighting stop and amount of money input. There is an inconvenience that it is not possible.

Therefore, this idea was developed to simplify and simplify the entire system for vehicle operation management devices that issue tickets to passengers in vehicles such as omnibuses and collect a small amount of fares from them, as well as collect data such as the number of passengers getting on and off and fare revenue. It can be made cheaper,
In addition to the number of passengers getting on and off at each stop and fare revenue, it is possible to perform detailed and comprehensive operation management that aggregates the number of passengers and fare revenue for each time period, the number of passengers getting on and off of all vehicles for each route, and fare revenue, etc.
This system is designed to prevent unauthorized boarding, such as when an adult passenger rides on a child's fare.

``Means for solving the problem'' In this invention, there is a fare box inside the vehicle,
Equipped with a ticket issuer, safe and memory cassette.

The fare box temporarily holds the fare inserted by the passenger in a state that can be recognized from the outside.

The ticket issuing device includes an input means operated by a flight attendant to input at least the above-mentioned input fare or the corresponding destination of the passenger, and prints at least the section in which the passenger can board based on the input by the input means. and a clock device.

The safe stores the fare temporarily reserved in the fare box in conjunction with the issuance of tickets by the ticket issuing means.

The memory cassette is removably installed in the vehicle and stores data indicating at least boarding stops, fares or alighting stops, ticket issuing times, and routes in connection with input by the input means and ticket issuance by the ticket issuing means. It stores data in a processable manner and imports and stores fee data associated with fee revisions from the outside.

"Operation" In the vehicle operation control system of this invention configured as described above, the crew confirms the fare that the passenger inserts into the fare box at the time of boarding, and the crew operates the input means to A ticket is issued to the passenger on which at least the section in which the passenger is allowed to ride is printed, and at least the boarding stop,
Data indicating the fare or drop-off stop, ticket issue time and route is stored in the memory cassette.

This prevents unauthorized boarding, such as when an adult passenger rides on a child's fare, and also allows the memory cassette to be taken out of the vehicle and the data stored in it to be transferred to a computer outside the vehicle. In addition to the number of passengers getting on and off at each stop and fare revenue, the number of passengers getting on and off at each stop and fare revenue, the number of passengers getting on and off by each route, the number of passengers on all vehicles and fare revenue, etc. are aggregated by processing the data. Moreover, comprehensive operation management is carried out.

In addition, since a removable memory cassette is used as the data storage means, the data storage means can be easily handled, data can be easily transferred, and data from a large number of vehicles can be sequentially input into a computer. be able to. Furthermore, since the memory cassette can import charge data associated with price revisions from the outside, it is possible to easily respond to price revisions.

Embodiment FIGS. 1 to 6 show an example of a vehicle operation management system using an example of the vehicle operation management device of this invention.

is printed. When the boarding stop is printed,
The alighting stop may be printed instead of the fare.
That is, on the ticket 31, at least the section in which the passenger can ride is printed.

The data memory 49 described above is, for example,
It is constituted by a RAM (random access memory), and in connection with the input by the input means 13 and the ticket issuance by the ticket issuing means 14, data indicating at least the boarding stop, fare or alighting stop, ticket issuing time, and route is specifically stored. Specifically, data similar to that printed on the ticket 31 described above is stored as described below.

That is, FIG. 4 shows the electrical configuration of a part of the ticket issuing device 12, in which a CPU (central processing unit) 46 is connected to a ROM (read only memory) 4 through a bus line 47.
The program is read from 8 and executed to perform necessary processing, and the various keys and display section 18 of the input means 13 are connected to the bus line 47 through the input/output control section 51, and the clock device 52 is The ticket issuing means 14 is connected to the bus line 47 through the input section 53, and the ticket issuing means 14 is connected to the bus line 47 via the connector 54.

``Effects of the invention'' According to this invention, as mentioned above, the passenger confirms the fare that the passenger inserts into the fare box at the time of boarding and operates the input means, thereby at least determining the section in which the passenger can ride. Since printed tickets are issued to passengers, there is no need for a ticket reader or a special verification device to match the alighting stop and fare read from the ticket with the actual alighting stop and input amount. figure,
The entire system can be made simple and inexpensive, and it is possible to prevent illegal boarding, such as when an adult passenger rides on a child's fare.

Moreover, in connection with the input by the input means and the ticket issuance by the ticket issuing means, data indicating at least the boarding stop, fare or alighting stop, ticket issuing time, and route is stored in the memory cassette, and the data stored in the memory cassette is stored in the electronic computer. In addition to the number of passengers and fare revenue for each stop, the number of passengers and fare revenue for each time period, and the number of passengers and fare revenue for all vehicles for each route are calculated in detail. Comprehensive operation management can be performed.

In addition, since a removable memory cassette is used as the data storage means, the data storage means can be easily handled, data can be easily transferred, and data from a large number of vehicles can be sequentially input into a computer. be able to. Furthermore, since the memory cassette can import charge data associated with price revisions from the outside, it is possible to easily respond to price revisions.
