Description

  The present invention relates to an operation management method, and more particularly to an operation management method for performing driving guidance in consideration of fuel efficiency based on collected traveling information. The present invention also relates to a travel information collecting method for collecting travel information related to fuel efficiency of a vehicle.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is an analyzer that is installed in a vehicle, collects travel information for the purpose of improving the fuel consumption efficiency of the vehicle, and analyzes the travel information. In order to calculate the fuel efficiency of the vehicle using such an analysis device, a method of evaluating the driving of the driver and instructing the driving from the relationship between the engine speed and the driving speed is taken. Normally, when the engine speed is high with respect to the gear, the fuel efficiency is deteriorated. For example, a driver who frequently uses the high speed with respect to the gear receives bad evaluation based on the analysis result of the analysis device.

Conventionally, the vehicle speed, engine speed, and fuel consumption are acquired as needed, and the fuel consumption, speed change, and speed change are displayed on the same time axis, and the cause of the change in fuel consumption is the vehicle speed or rotation. A technique for judging from the correlation with the number is described (for example, Patent Document 1). In the technology described above, there is a relationship between the change in fuel consumption and the engine speed, and the variation tendency of the engine speed can be estimated to some extent from the change in vehicle speed. It is possible to improve the driving operation by detecting excessive rotation as a cause of increase in engine speed, excessive change in vehicle speed as a cause of excessive rotation, delay in shifting (over-running engine), idling, etc. there were.

  In such an operation management method, travel information is acquired from the in-vehicle device and stored in the travel information management means. Based on the travel information, whether the driving operation is the cause of the deterioration of the fuel efficiency of the vehicle, Analyzing whether there is a setting and outputting the analyzed analysis result, whether there is a factor in the driving of the driver to improve fuel efficiency, or a factor in the relationship between each gear stage with a preset gear ratio It is possible to determine whether there is an operation and to instruct the driver of specific operation contents from the output result.

  Moreover, in order to solve the said subject, this invention can also be made into the recording medium which recorded the program for making a computer perform the process by the said operation management method, and the program.

  Next, a processing procedure in the operation management system 10 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining processing in the operation management system. In FIG. 2, first, in the process of step S <b> 20, the various sensors 11 and the information processing means 12 of the in-vehicle device 1 select and acquire travel information on the traveling vehicle, and convert the acquired information into predetermined variables. (Running information selection process). In addition, the travel information acquired and converted is recorded in the portable recording device 13. In step S21, the processing device 3 acquires the travel information acquired and converted in step S20 from the portable recording device 13 using the IC card reader 30. Further, the processing device 3 acquires travel information from the in-vehicle device 1 using a communication means 14 such as wireless communication. The processing device 3 stores the acquired travel information in the travel information recording means 32. In the process of step S22, the processing device 3 performs an analysis process such as conversion to a predetermined variable and aggregation based on the travel information (analysis information output process). In addition, an analysis result obtained by performing the analysis process is output to the analysis information output unit 34.

  As described above, the operation management system 10 selects and acquires vehicle travel information, converts the acquired travel information into a predetermined variable, performs analysis processing, and outputs the analysis information to the analysis information output means 34. The instructor can recognize the operation state of the vehicle and the factor of deterioration in fuel efficiency, and can acquire information for performing appropriate operation instruction to the driver. Note that the acquisition information selection processing in step S20 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Further, the analysis information output processing in step S22 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  Next, the acquisition information selection processing procedure in the in-vehicle device 1 will be described. 3 and 4 are flowcharts for explaining the acquired information selection process. In FIG. 3, first, in the process of step S <b> 31, the various sensors 11 of the in-vehicle device 1 acquire the vehicle speed Vn, the engine speed Rm, and the gear stage Lo (n, m, o = 0, 1, 2,...). To do. In the process of step S32, the information processing means 12 calculates the difference value An between the vehicle speed Vn and the vehicle speed Vn-1 acquired immediately before in the travel information as the vehicle speed change amount. In the process of step S33, the information processing means 12 determines whether or not the cumulative number a of the current travel information is smaller than the required cumulative number ath at an arbitrary analysis time. That is, it is determined whether or not the cumulative number a of the current travel information has reached the required cumulative number ath. If the cumulative number a is smaller than the required cumulative number ath in the process of step S33, that is, if the cumulative number a has not reached the required cumulative number ath, the information processing means 12 determines that the current vehicle speed Vn, The engine speed Rm and the gear stage Lo are accumulated, and 1 is added to the accumulated number a. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, in the process of step S <b> 316, the information processing means 12 determines whether or not the vehicle has finished traveling. If the vehicle has been traveled in step S316, the travel information selection processing is terminated. If the vehicle has not finished traveling in the process of step S316, the process from step S31 shown in FIG. 3 is repeated.

  If the cumulative number a is larger than the required cumulative number ath in the process of step S33, that is, if the cumulative number a reaches the required cumulative number ath, the information processing means 12 determines the current vehicle speed Vn in the process of step S35. Then, the engine speed Rm and the gear stage Lo are accumulated, and the accumulated number a is incremented by one. Next, in the process of step S36, the information processing means 12 extracts a positive number Np from the accumulated speed difference value An (extraction number Npc). In the process of step S37, the information processing means 12 calculates the acceleration state occupation time Tp in the arbitrary time zone (T) using the extracted number Npc (Tp = Npc × (1 / T)). In the process of step S38, the information processing means 12 is in a state in which Lo-1-Lo> 0 is satisfied even once in the variable data Lo up to the cumulative number Kth minutes before the acquisition time of the acceleration state Np. Count the number. That is, the number of kickdowns Kc, which is the number of times the gear is dropped immediately before shifting to the acceleration state, is calculated. In the process of step S39, the information processing means 12 indicates that the recorded number of shift speeds Lo during an arbitrary cumulative period is smaller than an arbitrary shift threshold Lth that defines the running state of the target vehicle (Lo number <Lth). And whether the sum of absolute values of the accumulated vehicle speed variation An (Σ | An |) is larger than an arbitrary vehicle speed variation threshold Ath that defines the traveling state of the target vehicle (Σ | An |> Ath). Judging. If the Lo number <Lth and Σ | An |> Ath are not satisfied in the process of step S39, the processes from step S312 are performed without performing the processes of steps S310 and S311.

  If the Lo number <Lth and Σ | An |> Ath in the process of step S39, the information processing means 12 calculates the average value La of the gear stage Lo from the travel information in the process of step S310, and the engine speed An average value Ra of the number Rm is calculated. That is, the most frequently used stage number and the average value of the engine speeds of the stage number are calculated. In the process of step S311, the information processing means 12 calculates the travel distance Da based on the vehicle speed Vn (Da = ΣVn × (1 / T)). Next, in the process of step S312, the information processing means 12 calculates an average value Va of the vehicle speed Vn. In step S313, the information processing means 12 deletes the accumulated vehicle speed Vn, engine speed Rm, and shift speed Lo, and sets the accumulated number a = 0. In the process of step S314, the information processing means 12 determines the travel information (the number of kickdowns Kc, the acceleration state occupation time Tp, the average value Va of the vehicle speed Vn, the average value La of the gear stage Lo, the travel distance Da, and the engine speed Rm). Among the average values Ra), those having values are extracted and recorded in the recording device 13. In the process of step S315, the information processing means 12 obtains the travel information (the number of kickdowns Kc, the acceleration state occupation time Tp, the average value Va of the vehicle speed Vn, the average value La of the gear stage Lo, the travel distance Da, and the engine speed Rm). The average value Ra) is deleted, and the process of step S316 is performed as described above.

  As described above, each time the travel information is acquired by the various sensors 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 1, the travel information is converted into a predetermined numerical value by performing the travel information selection process, and the travel information is recorded as the portability. The recording medium processing apparatus 3 can be provided using the apparatus 13.

  In addition, an accelerator opening sensor may be added to the various sensors 11, and the time during which the accelerator opening information is in an arbitrary state may be used as an alternative to the acceleration state occupation time.

  Next, the travel information calculated by the travel information selection process and stored in the travel information recording means 32 will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a table stored in the travel information recording means. In FIG. 5, the table 320 includes time items at predetermined intervals (for example, every two minutes) and items 321 and 322 corresponding to the time items. The item 321 stores the average speed Va, the number of kickdowns Kc, and the acceleration state occupation time Tp for a predetermined time item, and the item 322 stores the average rotational speed Ra and the average speed change for the predetermined time item. The number of steps La and the travel distance Da are stored. The average speed Va, the number of kickdowns Kc, and the acceleration state occupation time Tp of the item 321 are always recorded in the recording device 13 when Ath accumulation occurs in the processing of steps S34 and S35 shown in FIG. Further, the average rotation speed Ra, the average gear position La, and the travel distance Da of the item 322 are accumulated in Ath pieces in the processing of steps S34 and S35 shown in FIG. 3, and the processing in the processing of step 39 shown in FIG. If the condition is satisfied, it is recorded in the recording device 13.

  Next, an analysis information output processing procedure in the processing device 3 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the analysis information output process. In FIG. 6, first, in the process of step S <b> 41, the information processing means 33 of the processing device 3 stores travel information for one operation stored in the travel information recording means 32 (number of kickdowns Kc, acceleration state occupation time Tp, vehicle speed). The average value Va of Vn, the average value La of the shift speed Lo, the travel distance Da, and the average value Ra of the engine speed Rm are acquired. In the process of step S42, the information processing means 33 groups the acquired travel information for each acquisition time. In the process of step S43, the information processing means 33 totals all travel information for each arbitrary speed zone based on the vehicle speed average value Va of each group. In the processing of step S44, the information processing means 33 calculates a distance ratio Dd for each speed zone from the total travel distance Da for each speed zone (Dd = Da / ΣDa). In the process of step S45, the information processing means 33 calculates the average value Ra of the engine speed and the average value La of the shift speed for each of the aggregated speed bands. In the process of step S46, the information processing means 33 calculates the acceleration occupation rate Ta for each speed band from the collected acceleration state occupation time Tp for each speed band. In the process of step S 47, the information processing means 33 provides the calculated arbitrary traveling information and analysis result to the analysis information output means 34, and the output is controlled by the input / output control processing unit 18.

  Next, traveling information output to the analysis information output unit 34 will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the travel information output to the analysis information output unit. In FIG. 7, a screen 323 displays a speed item indicating a predetermined speed range, a selected gear number (La) item, an average engine speed (Ra) item, a distance ratio (Dd) item, and an average kick. A down count (Ka) item and an acceleration occupation rate (Ta) item are displayed. In this screen 323, the value of each item is calculated by the table 320 shown in FIG. 5 and the analysis information output process shown in FIG. In particular, the shift speed (La) and average engine speed (Ra) items are calculated by the process of step S45 shown in FIG. 6, and the distance ratio (Dd) item is calculated by the process of step S44 shown in FIG. The average number of kickdowns (Ka) item is calculated by the process of step S43 shown in FIG. 6, and the acceleration occupancy (Ta) item is calculated by the process of step S46 shown in FIG.

  In this way, by outputting the travel information and analysis results calculated by the information processing means 33 to the analysis information output means 34, the operation instructor can know the factors causing the deterioration of fuel efficiency, and the driver can When there is a factor, it is possible to provide the optimum driving guidance for the driver.

  Next, a situation analysis processing procedure performed in the operation management system 10 using the travel information shown in FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the situation analysis processing. In FIG. 8, first, in the process of step S <b> 71, the information processing means 33 of the processing device 3 calculates the average rotation speed Rav and the selected shift speed average value Lav for each vehicle speed zone from the travel information stored in the travel information recording means 32. The average number of kickdowns Kca and the acceleration state occupation rate Taa are acquired. In the process of step S72, the information processing means 33 determines that the average speed Rav for each vehicle speed range is greater than a threshold Thr for determining whether the engine speed is high for each vehicle speed range, and the selected shift speed average value Lav is Judge whether it is not the top gear. If the processing condition of step S72 is not satisfied, the processing from step S78 is performed. When the condition of the process of step S72 is satisfied, in the process of step S73, the information processing means 33 determines that the average kickdown count Kca is greater than the threshold value Tha for recognizing excessive kickdown and the acceleration state occupation rate Taa is in the accelerated state. It is determined whether or not it is larger than a threshold value Tht for recognizing excessive occupation.

  When the condition of the process of step S73 is satisfied, in the process of step S74, the information processing means 33 determines that the gear ratio setting of the selected gear stage number average value Lav or the gear stages before and after it is inappropriate. Next, in the process of step S75, the information processing means 33 outputs a warning of the corresponding vehicle speed zone and the number of gears by the analysis information output means 34. If the condition for the process in step S73 is not satisfied, the information processing means 33 determines in the process in step S76 that the gear selection operation in the corresponding vehicle speed range by the driver is inappropriate. Next, in the process of step S77, the information processing means 33 outputs a warning of the corresponding speed band and the average of the selected shift speed by the analysis information output means 34.

  In the process of step S78, the information processing means 33 acquires the travel distance ratio Ddv for each vehicle speed zone. In the process of step S79, the information processing means 33 acquires the travel distance ratio Dr of each vehicle speed zone near the recommended travel speed in an arbitrary road segment from the travel distance ratio Ddv. Next, in the process of step S710, the information processing means 33 determines whether or not the travel distance ratio Dr is greater than an arbitrary ratio threshold Thd for determining travel at the recommended speed. If the condition for the process in step S710 is not satisfied, the information processing means 33 determines in the process in step S711 that the traveling speed in the road segment using the relevant vehicle speed zone is inappropriate. In the process of step S712, the information processing means 33 outputs a warning of the corresponding vehicle speed zone and speed classification and the related travel distance ratio Dr by the analysis information output means 34. If the condition of the process in step S710 is satisfied, the situation analysis process ends.

  Next, a table stored in the travel information recording unit 32 will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a table stored in the travel information recording means. In FIG. 9, a table 324 is used to perform analysis (determination) for each speed zone corresponding to a road segment based on the travel information shown in FIG. The table 324 includes a speed band section item indicating a road section, a use speed band item for each speed band section set based on an economic speed standard or a safe speed standard, and a use frequency serving as a reference for determining the use frequency. It consists of threshold items.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a table stored in the travel information recording means. In FIG. 10, a table 325 stores determination results obtained by determining the usage frequency for each speed band segment by the situation analysis processing illustrated in FIG. 8. The table 325 includes a distance ratio item for a predetermined speed band section, a usage frequency item calculated from the distance ratio, and a determination result item for determining the usage frequency. For example, the distance ratio item calculated from the screen 323 of FIG. 7 for the highway distance ratio is “36:40”, the usage frequency item is calculated as “36/40 = 0.9”, and the usage frequency item “0” .9 ”does not satisfy the condition of the usage frequency threshold“> 1.33 ”shown in FIG. 8, and therefore the determination result is“ NG ”.

  Next, the analysis result output to the analysis information output unit 34 will be described. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a display example of analysis results output by the analysis information output unit. In FIG. 11, the display unit 300 is a warning output by the situation analysis process shown in FIG. 8, and is output by the analysis information output means 34 such as a display or a printer. For example, the display area 300 includes a display unit 301 indicating the name of the operation guidance destination, the date and time when the travel information and the analysis result are collected, and a display unit 302 indicating the analysis result with the title “fuel consumption driving record”. Is displayed. The display unit 302 includes a violation speed zone item indicating a speed zone that has been violated, a detection content item indicating a detection result in the violation speed zone, and a plurality of related information items. 306 is displayed. The operation guidance display areas 303 and 304 are the analysis results regarding the shift selection and the gear ratio setting by the process of steps S72 to S77 shown in FIG. 8, and the operation instruction display areas 305 and 306 are the operation by the process of steps S78 to S712. It is the analysis result about speed.

  For example, in the operation guidance display area 303, the detected content item “shift selection is inappropriate”, the related information item “average gear position 5”, the related information item “average rotation” for the violation speed zone item “60 km band”. Number 1800 "and warning information generated based on this information" → Average speed is too high. The cause is shift selection, so let's keep driving one more step up in the future. Is displayed.

  In this way, by outputting the analysis information by the analysis information output means 34, the operation instructor can recognize the operation status of the driver to be instructed and the correct instruction content.

  Therefore, in the above operation management system, the processing device 3 acquires the travel information collected by the in-vehicle device 1 via the portable recording device 13 or the communication means 14 such as wireless, and stores it in the travel information recording means 32. The driving information is aggregated and converted into predetermined variables to perform analysis processing, and the analysis result is output by the analysis information output means, so that the driving instructor determines whether the driver's driving operation is inappropriate from the analysis result. It is possible to recognize whether the setting of the engine speed corresponding to the shift stage is inappropriate and to provide the driver with proper operation guidance. In addition, since traveling information can be obtained after traveling or during traveling, the efficiency of the analysis process can be improved, and traveling information of the entire operation can be obtained by analyzing part of traveling information. The storage area can be reduced.

In addition, it is also possible to add the fuel consumption information in the relevant operation to the analysis information shown in the display area 300. In this way, the operation instructor compares the distance ratio and gear selection (or engine speed) with the travel information of the vehicle traveling on the same operation route, thereby determining the high (low) fuel consumption factor for the operation operation of the driver. Recognize and provide optimal operation guidance. The travel information and analysis results output to the analysis information output means 34 may be provided to the in-vehicle device 1 and other devices for output. Further, the processing means using the travel information shown in FIG. 7 is not limited to the situation analysis processing shown in FIG. 8, and can be applied to other processing means.
