Description

  The present invention relates to a system for managing the operation of a vehicle in a carrier.

In a carrier having a plurality of vehicles, the operation manager must always manage the health condition of the driver, the inspection and maintenance status of the vehicle, and the instruction management of the collection and delivery of the transported luggage.
In other words, the operation manager needs to check the driver's health and vehicle inspection and maintenance status and save the record before the driver takes the vehicle out of the office garage and operates the vehicle. After confirming that the driver's health condition and vehicle maintenance are good, the operation manager instructs the driver to collect and deliver the transported luggage.
The operation manager also checks the driver's health and vehicle maintenance status and saves the records when the driver enters the garage at the business office after the driver completes the collection and delivery of transported goods. There is a need to.
Here, since the driver's health and vehicle inspection / maintenance status are carried out within the carrier's office, the communication report between the operation manager and the driver can be made in writing. It takes a lot of time and effort to create and manage documents.
On the other hand, the communication between the driver in operation and the operation manager has to be done verbally by telephone or mobile phone. Here, inquiries regarding the status of transported cargo by the shipper, etc., are made verbally to the driver by telephone or mobile phone. In addition, confirmation takes time.
In addition, more efficient operation plans for vehicles have been required due to energy saving requirements.

Therefore, in the conventional vehicle operation management system, a cruising server is arranged in each vehicle, and output information is automatically transmitted to the center server using a mobile phone line, and a daily driving report is created by the center server. There is something to do.
However, in this method, an expensive cruising server or data communication device must be installed for each vehicle, which is an obstacle introduced by small and medium carriers. In addition, this system can manage the vehicle, but cannot manage the health condition of the driver and inquire about the transport status of the load. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

In addition, as a method of easily browsing inquiries about the transport status of transported luggage, a delivery service based on the delivery route is emailed as individual job data to the completion of delivery to each transport destination using a mobile phone assigned to each vehicle. There is such a method that a delivery completion report is sent to the server, and based on this, the delivery status changing every moment is grasped.
However, this method can manage the inquiry of the transport status of the load, but cannot manage the health condition of the driver and the vehicle. In addition, since data related to time in the delivery completion report is manually input, there is a difficulty in operation. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

In addition, as a method of preventing miscommunication due to verbal reports between the operation manager and the driver, on the Internet, the mobile phone assigned to each vehicle and e-mail are sent and received to confirm the information of each collection and delivery. There is something.
However, since this method is a system specialized only in communication between the operation manager and the driver, it is possible to inquire about the transport status of the transported luggage, but it is not possible to manage the mileage for each delivery destination of the vehicle, The operation manager and the driver have to manually input the time related to the operation, which is difficult to operate. (For example, refer to Patent Document 3).

Also, when the driver arrives at the stop, only the number of meters of the vehicle's mileage, that is, only the numbers that can be easily input to a communication terminal such as a mobile phone, is transmitted and the distance between the stops The operation manager can know the time and arrival time.
Furthermore, the average fuel consumption of each vehicle can be known by inputting and transmitting the meter number of the travel distance of the vehicle even during fueling.
This information facilitates vehicle energy saving and efficient delivery and maintenance plans.

Also, when the driver departs from the delivery destination, the business information at the delivery destination that has been transmitted from the operation manager in advance is confirmed, and the confirmation information indicating completion is input and transmitted. The operation manager can know the completion confirmation and completion time.
Further, since the arrival time and the departure time at the delivery destination are known, it is possible to know the delivery collection time at the delivery destination, and the work efficiency can be improved.

  In addition, when the driver leaves and enters the vehicle, he / she inputs and transmits his / her health and vehicle inspection status, so that the vehicle's departure time, entry time, driver's health and vehicle inspection / maintenance status, inspection time, etc. Are automatically stored in the data storage device, making it easy to create each management chart.
