Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a taxi pool parking control device. In contrast, the present invention relates to a taxi pool parking control device devised so that taxis can be dispatched effectively.

  In places where there are many taxi passengers such as in front of the station, airport or hotel, there are generally several to several dozen waiting taxi parking lots (taxi pools) that can be stored in this taxi pool. There may be no taxis standing in line along the road illegally parked and waiting to enter the taxi pool. Since these taxi trains completely block the lane of the road, for example, when leaving the vehicle from the parking lot facing the road, the traveling vehicle is sufficiently blocked by the taxi train As a result, accidents such as contact accidents and collision accidents are caused, or the roadway is narrowed due to illegal parking and stopping, causing traffic congestion in the vicinity and driving emergency vehicles. And there was a problem affecting the intrusion.

Then, in order to prevent the illegal taxi parking of the said taxi, the taxi operation management apparatus described in patent document 1 was proposed. This taxi operation management device is provided with a center pool (second taxi pool) separate from the taxi pool described above, and when the taxi pool is full (full), the taxi is parked in the center pool and placed on standby. On the other hand, taxi entry to and exit from the taxi pool was detected, and the turnover corresponding to the waiting time from entry to passenger departure was calculated, and the taxi pool was set up in a center pool at a remote location. It is configured to display this rotation rate on the display board, and the taxi driver parked in the center pool sees this and adjusts the timing to go to the taxi stand, so that the waiting time at the taxi stand is in the preferred range It is structured to be able to.

  However, according to the taxi operation management device described in Patent Document 1, the taxi pool (the taxi stand) has no entrance restriction means such as a gate that restricts the entry of taxis. There was a case of getting caught and intercepting passengers, and there was a problem of buying unpopularity from taxi drivers who were waiting in the center pool.

  In addition, the number of cars that can be calculated from the above-mentioned rotation rate is an expected number of cars calculated from past entry / exit results, so there may be an error of about 2 to 3 cars, and around 10 cars when there are many. For example, taxi pools installed in public places such as in front of the station have only a few dozen to no more than a dozen parking spaces. As a result of the above error, see the turn rate display. When I actually went from the center pool to the taxi pool, it was full and I could not finish entering the taxi pool, and eventually I had to wait in turn while parking illegally on the side of the road etc. Many things happened.

  In addition, while taxis are parked and parked on the side of roads, etc., the taxis often stand by with the engine running. As a result, global warming countermeasures in terms of exhaust gas and LNG fuel consumption In addition to causing the vehicle to go backwards, taxi companies also have a problem of worsening fuel consumption.In addition, illegal parking of taxis induces illegal parking of ordinary cars, and road parking problems in central urban areas etc. It was the cause that left the solution of the problem.

  Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to provide a taxi comprising a first taxi pool dedicated to waiting taxis and a second taxi pool dedicated to waiting for taxis when the taxi pool is full.
