Reference numeral 25 denotes map information stored by the map storage means 21 And vehicle sensor group 24
The vehicle position calculating means 26 for calculating the current position of the vehicle based on the output of the vehicle refers to the map information stored by the map storage means 21 and calculates the destination from the current position of the vehicle calculated by the vehicle position calculating means 25. A traveling route searching means 27 for searching for a traveling route to the destination set by the setting means 23 displays traveling routes searched by the traveling route searching means 26, and guides the vehicle from the current position to the destination. This is route guidance means.

Next, the operation will be described. For example, when a vehicle equipped with the commercial in-vehicle information terminal device 2 performs distribution work in logistics, a driver engaged in the distribution work is required to be in a distribution center (the business center 1 corresponds) serving as a base point of the distribution work. Before starting the delivery operation, the delivery instruction sheet in which a list of delivery destination stores, which are today's delivery destinations, and a list of products to be delivered to each delivery destination are printed is received. The driver gets on the delivery vehicle with the received delivery instruction and activates the commercial in-vehicle information terminal device 2.

[0005] First, the driver reads the first delivery destination to be delivered first from the delivery instruction, and reads the map information display means 2.
Operate 2 to select the area where the first delivery destination is located,
Display a map of this area. At this time, the map information display means 22 stores the map information of the corresponding area in the map storage means 2 in accordance with the enlargement / reduction and the scroll operation of the map performed by the driver.
Read from 1 and display.

Next, the driver operates the destination setting means 23 to set the destination. That is, the map information display means 22
The destination is set by designating the position of the first delivery destination on the map displayed in. At this time, the destination setting means 23
Outputs the coordinates on the screen designated by the driver to the map information display means 22.

The map information display means 22 converts the coordinates on the screen output from the destination setting means 23 into coordinates for identifying the map position being displayed, for example, latitude and longitude, and converts the conversion result to the destination setting means. 23, and a mark indicating the destination is displayed on the map. Destination setting means 2
3 stores the latitude and longitude output from the map information display means 22 as the coordinates of the destination, and outputs the coordinates of the destination to the travel route searching means 26.

[0008] When the coordinates of the destination are output from the destination setting means 23, the traveling route searching means 26 outputs the map storage means 2
1. The travel route from the coordinates of the current position of the vehicle (the coordinates of the delivery center before the start of the delivery business) to the coordinates of the destination, which is output by the vehicle position calculation means 25, with reference to the map information stored in To explore. The searched traveling route is represented by a link sequence in which a road network of the map information is described. The method of searching for a traveling route is the same as that of a commercially available car navigation device, and a description thereof will be omitted. When the traveling route is searched by the above operation, the traveling route searching means 26 outputs the searched traveling route to the traveling route guiding means 27.

When the traveling route guide unit 27 receives the traveling route from the traveling route searching unit 26, the traveling route guidance unit 27 converts the traveling route into an expression format based on screen coordinates that can be displayed by the map information display unit 22, and the map information display unit 22 Output to When the traveling route is output from the traveling route guidance unit 27, the map information display unit 22 displays the traveling route over the map.
At this stage, the driver can know the traveling route to the destination, and starts traveling to the first delivery destination.

While the vehicle is running, the vehicle position calculating means 25
However, data output by a vehicle sensor group 24 composed of a GPS receiver for receiving a positioning result by a satellite, a gyro for knowing the direction of the vehicle, and a vehicle speed sensor for measuring the speed of the vehicle, and the map storage means 21 are stored. The current position of the vehicle is repeatedly calculated at predetermined time intervals by comparing the current position of the vehicle with the current map information, and the current position of the vehicle is output to the map information display means 22. The method of calculating the current position of the vehicle is also the same as that of a commercially available car navigation device, and a description thereof will be omitted.

When the current position of the vehicle is output from the vehicle position calculation means 25, the map information display means 22 calculates which position the current position of the vehicle corresponds to on the map being displayed, and calculates the current position of the vehicle. A mark indicating the position is superimposed on the map and displayed. Thus, the driver can always grasp the current position of the vehicle even while traveling.

Since the vehicle position calculating means 25 repeatedly outputs the current position of the vehicle to the vehicle position transmitting means 12 at regular time intervals during traveling, the vehicle position transmitting means 12 outputs the current position of the vehicle. Mobile phone or MC at regular intervals
The data is transmitted to the business center 1 via the communication means 3 such as A wireless.

When the driver arrives at the first delivery destination, the driver operates the map information display means 22 and operates the facility information storage means 11.
And reads and displays facility information on the first delivery destination. The facility information includes the location of the luggage entrance of the delivery destination, the location of the parking lot, and the like. The driver delivers the product list described in the delivery instruction with reference to the facility information. When the delivery at the first delivery destination is completed, the driver repeats the same operation as described above until the final delivery destination, and ends the delivery business.

[0014]

Since the conventional vehicle operation management system is configured as described above, the driver knows in which area on the map the delivery destination described in the delivery instruction exists. If the delivery destination is set, the destination can be set as the destination, but if the destination is not known in which area on the map, the destination should be set as the destination. Therefore, there is a problem that it is necessary to train drivers who are skilled in the delivery business in each region. Therefore, when a skilled driver cannot work due to illness or injury, there is a problem in that it is difficult for another driver who does not understand the land in the area to perform the delivery work in the area.

Each time the driver arrives at the destination, the driver searches for and reads out the facility information of the corresponding destination,
It is necessary to confirm the contents of the work at the corresponding delivery destination in the delivery instruction, and there is a problem that this work is complicated.
Furthermore, if the facility information needs to be changed, for example, due to a change in the position of a parking lot due to the convenience of the delivery destination, etc.,
It is necessary for the driver to return to the business center 1 after the delivery operation and edit the facility information. In such a case, it is necessary to store what kind of change has occurred at which delivery destination. However, there is a problem that the burden on the driver increases.

When a driver sets a destination, a building displayed on a map is often designated as a destination. In a general car navigation device, a fixed identification position attached to the building is defined for each building. The fixed identification position is, for example, an entrance used by general customers in public facilities and department stores. For this reason, when the destination building is set as the destination, the traveling route to the road facing the entrance used by the general customer is displayed. However, the parking lot used by delivery vehicles in the delivery business and the entrance of goods are located at different positions from the entrances used by general customers. There was a problem that it was not possible to know the loading entrance etc.

When the driver arrives at the delivery destination and finishes the delivery work at that location and goes to the next delivery destination, he reads the name of the next delivery destination store and sets the next destination in the navigation means 5. Therefore, there is a problem that the operation becomes complicated.

Further, in the conventional in-vehicle information terminal device 2 for business use, only the current position of the vehicle is reported to the business center 1, so that the business center 1 can know the current position of each vehicle. However, there is a problem that it is not possible to know the dynamics of what each vehicle is doing.

Further, the navigation means 5 calculates a traveling route suitable for a general driver to travel,
A traveling route that preferentially uses a wide road is output. For this reason, even in a section where traffic volume is large and congestion frequently occurs, a traveling route using a wide road such as a national road is output without considering traffic congestion. Therefore, when the travel route output by the navigation means 5 is used, there is a problem that when the delivery time is specified, the situation in which the delivery time specification cannot be observed frequently occurs.
