- the invention proposes to achieve at least one of the aforementioned objects by a method of assigning to an operator a task to be performed on a vehicle among a plurality of vehicles offered for rental, particularly in the context of a automated rental of vehicles, said method comprising a phase, called authorization, comprising the following steps:
- the invention therefore makes it possible to authorize an operation relating to a task, in particular the beginning of a task or its creation, when the operator is at a distance from the target vehicle less than or equal to a threshold distance.
- the invention makes it possible to avoid user input errors by indicating to it that the vehicle on which it believes to intervene or for which it believes to declare a task is not the right one or the attempts of fraud of the operators who would like to declare the start of a task before actually starting it. This also makes it possible to determine that the operator who is supposed to intervene on the target vehicle is close to the vehicle.
- the invention makes it possible to perform a more efficient intervention, a more precise monitoring of the work of each operator and also to better define the needs relating to the maintenance of the service.
- the invention makes it possible to determine, in a more precise manner, the intervention time on a vehicle and thus to better evaluate, for example statistically, the needs of the users and / or the abilities of the operators in order to carry out a more precise intervention. effective, which reduces the intervention time on a vehicle and the costs associated with such an intervention.
- the different positions can be determined for example by a geolocation system, in particular by a GPS beacon placed at the level of the vehicle, and by a GPS beacon arranged in a portable communication device carried by the operator, by example of Smartphone or PDA type, or by a GPS tag carried by the operator.
- the threshold distance is less than or equal to 250m, and more precisely 250m, which makes it possible to avoid errors due to inaccuracies in GPS technology.
- the method according to the invention may further comprise a step of guiding the operator to the position of the target vehicle when the measured distance is greater than the threshold distance.
- the method may then include indicating the position of the target vehicle to the operator.
- the method thus ensures that the operator can get to the position of the vehicle as quickly as possible, in order to perform an intervention in the shortest possible time.
- the authorization phase and in particular the steps for authorizing the start of the task and possibly for calculating the distance, is implemented at the level of a server, called a central server, arranged at a distance from the target vehicle and from the operator.
- a server called a central server
- the method according to the invention may comprise an update at a given frequency of the position of the target vehicle and the position of the operator, said positions being stored in a database.
- the steps for determining the positions of the target vehicle and the operator comprise a reading in the database of the last positions of the target vehicle and the operator, the last positions stored for these two entities being chosen to make the distance calculation.
- the updating frequency is for example 10 seconds.
- the successive position data can be useful for carrying out other functionalities such as the surveillance of vehicles and operators, the analysis of vehicle journeys, which makes it possible to better deduce the needs of the users.
- the positions of the vehicle and the operator can be determined, for example by sending to the central server, only on request, for the purpose of performing the authorization phase.
- the method according to the invention may comprise, before the authorization phase, a phase, called assigning a task to an operator. This assignment phase is then initiated by a supervisor or a central server, in particular following the receipt of a request or an alert from the target vehicle.
- the phase of assigning a task to an operator may include:
- a transmission step particularly from a management server to the operator, data relating to said task to be performed, for example on the device of the latter.
- the message includes the task to be performed by the operator and preferably information related thereto (task category, vehicle identifier, etc.), and
- the assignment phase includes a step of placing the task in a list, called queue, of tasks to be performed by said operator and associated audit operator, said list comprising for each assigned task an identifier of the target vehicle.
- This list can be associated with the operator via an identifier of the operator.
- the placement of a task to be performed in the waiting list of an operator can be done according to a priority level of a task to achieve.
- the priority level of the task to be placed in the waiting list is compared with the priority level of each of the tasks present in the list and the task is placed in the list according to this comparison.
- the priority level can be a priority level previously assigned to this task, or to a category to which this task belongs.
- the priority level of each task can further increase over time, possibly more or less quickly depending on the task and / or its category.
- the method according to the invention may further comprise a declaration of a task by said operator following a report in the field, said statement comprising a declaration of a target vehicle identifier and data relating to said task.
- the assignment request consists of a creation declaration issued by the operator to a central management server or the supervisor (in particular via this central server) and the authorization phase is carried out immediately following this declaration of creation.
- the method may include a step of issuing the creation declaration to the supervisor (in particular via the management server) and a step of validation of the creation by the supervisor.
- the task is assigned to the operator if and only if the supervisor reports back his acceptance.
- the assigned task is placed first in the queue of tasks associated with the user and at the top of the tasks to be performed by the user.
- the authorization phase may be performed after the validation step, but this is less advantageous since it is then likely to disturb the supervisor for an unauthorized task.
- the method according to the invention may also comprise a verification step, referred to as an identifier, comprising the following operations:
- This identifier verification step is preferably performed before the step of verifying the position of the vehicle.
- the method according to the invention may further comprise a verification phase, called status, comprising a step of comparing a status of a target vehicle, whose identifier has been previously declared, with a vehicle status, said theoretical, previously associated with said task, an authorization or not an operation relating to said task by said operator on said target vehicle being given according to the result of the comparison.
- a verification phase comprising a step of comparing a status of a target vehicle, whose identifier has been previously declared, with a vehicle status, said theoretical, previously associated with said task, an authorization or not an operation relating to said task by said operator on said target vehicle being given according to the result of the comparison.
- This theoretical status is relative to the type of task requested. This check is usually carried out preferably before the position verification step and makes it possible to check whether it is actually necessary to perform the task.
- the authorization phase may further comprise a step of issuing a task. identifier of the operator to the target vehicle associated with the task to indicate that said operator is authorized to take the vehicle.
- Such tasks may include restoring a vehicle to an operator, taking over an abandoned or repaired vehicle, or rebalancing rental sites.

- step 332 If the supervisor refuses the task the operator is notified by a refusal message in step 332 and goes to the vehicle concerned by his next task in the queue. The task is also deleted in step 332.
- step 334 If the operator validates the task a declaration of creation of the task is carried out in step 334 and the task is placed in the queue of the operator, in step 334, in first position in the list of tasks associated with the user ".
- a status check phase 338 may also be performed on one or more occasions to determine whether the task is complete, the time at which the task is completed, or to take other actions.
- the status check phase 338 includes a step 340 determining the real status of the vehicle according to one of the variants described above.
- the real status is compared with the theoretical end status defined for the task, for example by the calculation and analysis module 134.
- step 344 If the two statuses are identical, it means that the task has been successfully completed.
- the end of the task is then declared in step 344 and an end of task message is sent to the operator.
- the task status is then changed from "in progress” to "completed”.
- the state of the operator is changed from "busy" to "free”.
- the verification phase 338 is complete.
- the status checking phase 338 may be repeated until the end of the task declaration or for a predetermined duration or after a predetermined duration previously associated with this task. It is possible to envisage other actions if the end of the task is not declared after a predetermined duration, for example the creation of a task of report to be carried out by the operator to indicate the reasons why the task is not completed. Of course, other actions can be considered.
- the operator indicates the identifier of the vehicle he wishes to support.
- the server verifies that the requested vehicle matches the one designated in the current task.
- the server verifies that the vehicle declared by the operator is in the process of being rented (starting status for this type of task).
- the vehicle is parked on an available parking space, including the
- loading displays a green light.
- the rental terminal to which the charging station is connected asks the server whether this badge is authorized to unlock the door of the charging station.
- the server indicates that the operator's badge is authorized to unlock the hatch.
- the operator opens the hatch of the loading terminal.
- the vehicle status changes to "available.” If the vehicle charge level is below the set threshold, the vehicle status changes to "unavailable” and the status of the vehicle vehicle is also reassembled to the server.
- the operator locks the vehicle.
- the operator's PDA informs him of the completion of the task by a message (task declared over by comparing the status of the vehicle and the expected status).
- the server verifies that the requested vehicle matches the designated one in the current job.
- the server verifies that the vehicle declared by the operator is in the status "Available" (starting status for this type of task).
- the onboard PC screen displays an intrusive message, on the entire screen, and impossible to pay by the driver, recalling the need to properly store the cable in the terminal.
- the rental terminal to which the charging station is connected requests the server, if this badge is authorized to unlock the door of the charging station.
- the server indicates that the badge of the operator is authorized to unlock the hatch.
- the operator opens the vehicle load hatch.
- the operator accompanies the rewinding of the charging cable in the charging terminal.
- the rental terminal goes back to the server in the "locked" state of the charging terminal door.
- the server acknowledges the intrusive message of the onboard PC. This removes it from the screen and the normal functions of the embedded PC are accessible.
- the operator schedules his destination on the navigation system of the vehicle.
- the rental terminal goes back to the server in the "charging" state of the charging station. If the vehicle's charge level is greater than or equal to the threshold set by the DSP, the status of the vehicle changes to "Available.” If the vehicle charge level is below the threshold set by the DSP, the status of the vehicle changes to " unavailable and the status of the vehicle is also reassembled to the server.
- the operator's PDA informs him of the completion of the task by a message (task declared over by comparison of the status of the vehicle and the expected status).
- the procedure is the same as that described for the rebalancing of the vehicle, except for the end status.
- the procedure is substantially the same except that the status of the vehicle at the beginning of the task must be "in maintenance".
- the disconnection procedure is also optional.
- the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described. It will be appreciated that the method can include many variations. As an example, we can note that:
- a method according to the invention can make it possible to create tasks only by the operator or by the supervisor,
