FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing processing of the movement information management system in the first embodiment.
The movement information correctness determination and billing process of the movement information management system in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The in-vehicle device 100 measures the position with the measuring unit 120, and stores the measured position information in the drive recorder 130 as movement information (S101).
Here, positioning will be described. The measurement unit 120 performs positioning as follows according to the reception state of the GPS positioning information and the correction information of the electronic reference station. It is assumed that the correction information received by the information center 300 is received by the DSRC unit 110 via the roadside device 200 as the correction information of the electronic reference station.
When the measurement unit 120 receives both the GPS positioning information and the correction information of the electronic reference station, the measurement unit 120 performs positioning based on the GPS positioning information received by the positioning receiving unit 121, and adds the electronic reference to the position information determined by the positioning information. The position information is obtained by adding the correction information of the points.
If the positioning information is received and the correction information cannot be received, the position information is determined based on the positioning information.
When neither positioning information nor correction information can be received, the previous position information measured based on the positioning information and correction information is used as an initial value, and calculated from the direction measured by the gyro 123 and the speed measured by the speedometer 124. The position information is obtained by adding the values indicating the relative positions.
Further, by using the Kalman filter, the position error estimated value, the gyro 123 and the speedometer 124 are estimated from the previous position information measured, the direction measured by the gyro 123 and the observed amount of the integrated value of the speed measured by the speedometer 124. The measurement error may be estimated and calculated to correct the measurement error of the gyro 123 and the speedometer 124, and the position information may be corrected to improve the accuracy.
As a result, positioning can be performed at an arbitrary timing, and a positioning method with higher accuracy can be selected. In a highly accurate positioning method, it is desirable to have an accuracy of 2 m or less so that the positional relationship between the lane and the vehicle can be identified.
The position information is represented by latitude, longitude, and height, for example.
The positioning timing may be set at predetermined intervals or during communication with the roadside device 200. However, other timings may be used.
The movement information stored in the drive recorder 130 is stored by associating the position information measured by the measurement unit 120 with the speed and acceleration measured by the speedometer 124 and the time when the positioning and measurement are performed.
In addition to the position information, information such as whether the position information is obtained from the positioning information and the correction information, the information obtained from only the positioning information, or the information obtained from the relative position may be stored. Thereby, the accuracy of the stored position information can be determined.
Moreover, you may perform a compression process with respect to movement information. Thereby, the amount of movement information that can be stored can be increased, and the amount of movement information communicated per unit time can be increased.

Next, the roadside device 200 communicates with the in-vehicle device 100 when the vehicle travels nearby, and acquires identification information (S102).
Here, in the in-vehicle device 100, the DSRC unit 110 transmits identification information such as the in-vehicle device ID and the user ID stored in the identification information storage unit 140 to the roadside device 200. In the roadside device 200, the identification information received by the roadside device communication unit 210 and the reception time are associated and stored in the in-vehicle device information storage unit 230. Of course, it goes without saying that the reception time may be synchronized with the standard time based on radio waves (carrier waves, navigation messages) from GPS satellites. Further, time information may be communicated between the roadside device 200 and the information center 300 to synchronize the time.
DSRC, which is a communication technique performed between the in-vehicle device 100 and the roadside device 200, has a feature that a communicable range is narrow and high-speed communication can be performed. For this reason, when identification information is memorize | stored in the vehicle-mounted apparatus information storage part 230 by the said process, it can determine with the vehicle equipped with the vehicle-mounted apparatus 100 identified by identification information having passed the place where the roadside machine 200 is located. it can. When identifying vehicles individually, it is preferable to set a rectangular communication area of 2 m to 4 m square for each lane as a communicable range, for example. In addition, when communicating with a plurality of vehicles in the same communication area, a communicable range may be appropriately set according to the use, such as setting a communication area having a diameter of 100 m from the center of the intersection on the road surface around the intersection.

Next, the information center 300 receives the movement information and identification information of the in-vehicle device 100 and the location information of the roadside device 200 (S103).
Here, in the in-vehicle device 100, the DSRC unit 110 transmits the movement information stored in the drive recorder 130 to the information center 300 via the roadside device 200. In the roadside machine 200, the roadside machine communication unit 210 includes the location information of the roadside machine 200 stored in the location information storage unit 220 and the roadside machine 200 installed in the in-vehicle device information storage unit 230. The identification information for identifying the vehicle that has passed and the time are transmitted to the information center 300. In the information center 300, the movement information, identification information, and location information received by the information center communication unit 310 are stored in the reception information storage unit 360. Here, it is assumed that the in-vehicle device 100 that includes the identification information in the movement information and has transmitted the movement information can be identified.
The transmission timing of the movement information from the in-vehicle device 100 is the movement of the in-vehicle device user when the amount of movement information reaches a preset amount at every communication with the roadside device 200 or at a preset fixed period. This may be done when requesting information transmission or when the engine is stopped. When the amount of movement information reaches a preset amount, for example, the amount of movement information reaches x% of the storage capacity of the drive recorder 130. In addition, when an in-vehicle device user requests to send movement information, the amount of movement information is output to the display or speakers of the car navigation system (hereinafter referred to as car navigation), and the driver inputs a transmission request from the operation buttons of the car navigation system. Such as when. However, other timings may be used.

Next, the information center 300 determines whether the received movement information of the in-vehicle device 100 is correct (S104).
First, the movement information determination unit 320 acquires movement information from the received information storage unit 360 and extracts identification information included in the movement information. Next, the identification information indicating each in-vehicle device communicated by each roadside device stored in the reception information storage unit 360 is searched with the extracted identification information, and communication between the roadside device 200 and the in-vehicle device 100 corresponding to the matched identification information is performed. The time and location information of the roadside device 200 are acquired.
Next, the acquired communication time and location information are compared with the movement information to determine whether the location of the roadside device 200 is set as a movement route at the communication time. As the location of the roadside machine 200, for example, the center position of the communicable range is selected. Or it is good also considering the whole rough boundary line in the communicable range of the roadside machine 200 as a location.
The determination is made as a movement route when the movement route at the same communication time passes within a predetermined range around the location or the location (that is, when it passes through the communicable range of the roadside device 200). Judge that it is set. That is, even if the point indicating the location of the roadside device 200 and the point indicated by the position information included in the moving route do not coincide with each other, if the points are located within the communicable range, it is determined that the moving route is set. To do.
Then, the determination result is stored in the reception information storage unit 360 in association with the movement information. At this time, since the roadside machine 200 communicates with the vehicle to acquire identification information and detects the traffic of the vehicle, if the location of the roadside machine 200 is not set in the movement path at the communication time, the movement information is actually It can be determined that the travel route through which the vehicle has traveled is not shown and the travel information is incorrect.
In addition, the correctness determination of movement information may be performed by the roadside machine 200 in advance. In this case, in S103, the roadside device 200 transmits the movement information correctness determination result for each vehicle together with the movement information and identification information of the in-vehicle device 100 to the information center 300, and the information center 300 based on the determination result. Subsequent to S103, the movement information analysis processing described below is executed.

Next, when it is determined that the movement information is correct (S105), the information center 300 compares the movement information with the rule information and analyzes the movement information (S106).
First, the movement information analysis unit 330 acquires movement information indicating that the determination result is correct from the reception information storage unit 360. Next, the rule information is acquired from the rule information storage unit 370. Next, the movement information and the rule information are compared to determine whether the driving indicated by the movement information is a traffic violation or a good driving, and the movement distance of the vehicle is calculated based on the movement information. Then, the traffic violation score, the excellent driving degree, and the travel distance are stored in the reception information storage unit 360 in association with the identification information. To determine traffic violation or good driving, for example, search the road information included in the rule information on the travel route included in the movement information to obtain the reference value for traffic violation and good driving, This is done by comparing the included speed and acceleration.
For example, when a predetermined speed range with good fuel efficiency is set from the speed limit as a reference value for excellent driving, it is determined whether the speed of the vehicle included in the movement information is within this speed range.
In addition, when the upper limit value of acceleration corresponding to sudden start or acceleration of a vehicle with degraded fuel efficiency is set as the reference value for excellent driving, the vehicle speed included in the movement information is the upper limit value of this acceleration. Determine if:
In addition, as the reference value for excellent driving, if the maintenance condition of the driving lane corresponding to meandering (zigzag driving) where the fuel efficiency decreases and the ideal driving distance between two points are set, It is determined by determining whether or not the vehicle is in a predetermined travel lane and comparing the measured travel distance with an ideal travel distance between two points.

Next, the information center 300 performs a billing process based on the analysis result (S107).
First, the billing unit 340 acquires the traffic violation score, the excellent driving degree, and the travel distance associated with the identification information from the reception information storage unit 360. Next, a charge fee and a refund fee are calculated based on the traffic violation score, the excellent driving degree, and the travel distance. Then, the calculated charging fee is stored in the charging information storage unit 350 in association with the identification information. Further, based on the billing information stored in the billing information storage unit 350, a fee is collected from the debit account or a bill is sent to the user's address.

If it is determined that the movement information is incorrect (S105), the information center 300 sets an error in the movement information and stores it in the reception information storage unit 360 (S108).
For example, the user is notified of the investigation and repair of the in-vehicle device 100 for the movement information in which the error is set.

Conventionally, there has been a system such as ETC (Electronic Toll Collection System) that charges when passing through a toll booth. In contrast, in the first embodiment, it has been described that the system can perform charge management based on the movement information recorded in the in-vehicle device 100. With such a system, the driver can be encouraged to drive safely, for example, by detecting a traffic violation outside the police officer's place of control or the place where the Orvis is installed, or by detecting good driving and reducing the fee. Further, it is possible to charge for the travel distance in an arbitrary section. As a result, it can be considered that it can contribute to the reduction of environmental load in areas with high traffic and significant air pollution.
Further, in the mobile information management system that performs billing or the like, the reliability of the mobile information stored in the drive recorder 130 is required. Therefore, in the first embodiment, it has been described that the reliability of the travel information can be confirmed by comparing the travel information recorded by the in-vehicle device 100 with the communication information recorded by the roadside device 200. This is effective not only for a charging system but also for a system for managing other movement information.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, the in-vehicle device 100 performs positioning, transmits the position information thus positioned to the roadside device 200 and the information center 300, and the information center 300 performs billing processing. As described above, another management system based on the position information measured by the in-vehicle device 100 may be one that distributes information on a vehicle located in the vicinity at an intersection or the like and determines the danger by the in-vehicle device 100. In addition, local area information and the like may be distributed.
Therefore, in the second embodiment, a description will be given of a process in which priority is given to information with high importance distributed to determine danger and information with low importance such as regional information.

FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of the in-vehicle device 100 according to the second embodiment.
Of the configuration of the in-vehicle device 100 according to the second embodiment, a portion not described in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The DSRC unit 110 includes the following.
A DSRC processing unit 111 that processes the DSRC protocol.
An ASL (Application Sub Layer) processing unit 112 that sets a session that is a logical communication path between programs that communicate via the DSRC processing unit 111.
A basic program that inputs data received through a session set by the ASL processing unit 112 and performs basic processing such as data transmission / reception, acquisition of an in-vehicle device ID, access to an IC card, access to each storage unit based on the input data The program execution part 113 which performs.
A device control unit 114 that controls devices such as an HMI (Human Machine Interface) 152 such as a drive recorder 130 provided in the in-vehicle device 100, an IC card reader 151, a car navigation provided in the vehicle, audio, an air conditioner, and buttons for operating them.

The roadside machine communication unit 210 of the roadside machine 200 that communicates with the in-vehicle device 100 by DSRC communication also includes a DSRC processing unit 211, an ASL processing unit 212, a program execution unit 213, and a device control unit 214 as described above.
The roadside machine 200 includes a traffic information storage unit 240 that stores road information, signal information, vehicle information located in the vicinity area, and the like as the traffic information of the installed vicinity area.
Further, the roadside machine 200 includes a service information storage unit 250 that stores service information of the installed nearby area, for example, bargain information and parking lot information of each store.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing processing of the management system in the second embodiment.
Below, the process with the vehicle-mounted apparatus 100 and the roadside machine 200 at the time of the roadside machine 200 receiving the positional information which the vehicle-mounted apparatus 100 measured is demonstrated below.
Here, it is assumed that the in-vehicle device 100 and the roadside device 200 each have a port number corresponding to each basic program defined and stored in the storage unit.
Further, it is assumed that two or more port numbers are assigned to each basic program and defined together with the priority.
And before in-vehicle device 100 transmits position information to roadside machine 200, in-vehicle device 100 and roadside machine 200 communicate by performing the following processing.

The DSRC processing unit 111 of the in-vehicle device 100 and the DSRC processing unit 211 of the roadside device 200 process the DSRC protocol to establish a communication frequency, a communication frame assignment, a LID (Link ID) for identifying communication between devices, and the like. Thereafter, the in-vehicle device 100 and the roadside device 200 communicate with each other based on the established information.
The ASL processing unit 112 of the in-vehicle device 100 and the ASL processing unit 212 of the roadside device 200 notify each other of the port number and priority defined in the storage unit via each DSRC processing unit, and the notified port number and priority. The session is stored in the storage unit, and a session which is a logical communication path between the basic programs is established. That is, there are a high-priority session set with a high-priority port number and a low-priority session set with a low-priority port number. However, the priority is not limited to high and low. Thereafter, through the established session, the program execution unit 113 of the in-vehicle device 100 and the program execution unit 213 of the roadside device 200 communicate with each other to execute the basic program.
In addition, in the roadside machine 200 installed in the intersection, the priority of traffic information shall be set to the highest rank beforehand.
Further, when a specific event occurs, the information center 300 sets a high priority for traffic information for a specific roadside device 200. For example, when a traffic accident occurs, traffic information such as the location of the accident, the time of occurrence, the traffic lane, the end position of a congested vehicle, etc. is immediately transmitted from the information center 300 based on the result of the accident situation investigation. This traffic information is provided to the roadside machine 200 downstream of the lane (that is, the roadside machine 200 in which an accident has occurred in the direction of travel of the lane). The in-vehicle device 100 mounted on each vehicle is provided with traffic information from the roadside device 200 located in the communicable range, and outputs the provided traffic information to the driver as voice or text information. At this time, the information center 300 temporarily sets the highest priority of the traffic information to the downstream roadside device 200 within a predetermined distance that may be affected by the traffic information.

Hereinafter, processing after setting priority for the roadside device 200 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the device control unit 214 of the roadside device 200 stores the position information of the in-vehicle device 100 in the traffic information storage unit 240. Next, the road information stored in the traffic information storage unit 240 is acquired and the service information stored in the service information storage unit 250 is acquired. Then, transmission data for traffic information to be processed by the device control unit 114 of the in-vehicle device 100 and transmission data for service information are generated, and the generated transmission data is output to the program execution unit 213 to request transmission. For example, the transmission data of traffic information, the transmission data related to the A store, the transmission data related to the B store, and the transmission data related to the C store are output to the program execution unit 213 to request transmission (S201).

  The program execution unit 213 executes the data transmission program, and generates transmission data to be processed by the program execution unit 113 of the in-vehicle device 100 for the input transmission data. Then, the priority of the generated transmission data is determined, the session corresponding to the priority is specified, and the transmission data is output to the ASL processing unit 212. For example, when traffic information, information about A store, information about B store, and information about C store are input, the traffic information is queued in the transmission data queue of the high priority session, and the information of each store is set to the priority level. Queue to the low session transmit data queue. (S202).

  The ASL processing unit 212 generates transmission data in which the port numbers corresponding to the data transmission programs of the in-vehicle device 100 and the roadside device 200 are set in order from the session data with the highest priority, and the generated transmission data is subjected to DSRC processing. Output to the unit 211. As the port number to be set at this time, a port number corresponding to the priority specified in the program execution unit 213 is selected (S203).

  The DSRC processing unit 211 generates transmission data in which the LID is set, and transmits the generated transmission data (S204).

  The DSRC processing unit 111 of the in-vehicle device 100 receives the transmission data transmitted from the roadside device 200, determines the LID for the received transmission data, and acquires the transmission data generated by the ASL processing unit 212 of the roadside device 200. The acquired transmission data is output to the ASL processing unit 112 (S205).

  The ASL processing unit 112 determines a session based on the port number set in the input transmission data, acquires the transmission data generated by the program execution unit 213 of the roadside device 200, and sets the acquired transmission data to the determined session. Correspondingly, it is output to the program execution unit 113. For example, when information about A store, information about B store, information about C store, and traffic information are input, the traffic information is queued in the reception data queue of the high priority session, and the information of each store is set to the priority level. Queue to low session's incoming data queue. (S206).

  The program execution unit 113 sequentially outputs the input data output for the high priority session to the device control unit 114 for processing. For example, the traffic information queued in the reception data queue of the high priority session, the information related to the A store, the information related to the B store, the information related to the C store, queued in the reception data queue of the low priority session Data is acquired in order and output to the apparatus control unit 114 for processing. In the device control unit 114, the risk is determined based on road information, signal information, vehicle information located in the vicinity area, etc. with respect to the traffic information, the determination result is displayed on the display of the car navigation system, and the sound is output from the audio. The vehicle is controlled based on the determination result. Further, display on each display, audio output, and the like are performed for each service information (S207).

  As described above, when the program execution unit 113 executes a program, a plurality of ports are assigned to one program so that communication is possible in any port, and at least one port is assigned a priority. When there is a lot of unprocessed low-priority data, even when important high-priority data is generated, priority is given to important data over low-priority data. Communication processing can be performed more effectively.

For example, the port number for each priority may be assigned by changing the upper one digit in the hexadecimal format for the port number on the data transmission side.
That is, the port number for the low priority data such as the service information is 0x0aaa, the port number for the data with higher priority than the service information such as the traffic information is 0x1aaa, and the traffic information needs to be urgent. For example, the port number for higher priority data is 0x2aaa. aaa is a number corresponding to the program, and shows the same value for each priority in the same program.

Further, the priority of the program may be set, and the ASL processing unit may process the input data in order from the data for the program with the higher priority.
At this time, for programs with different priorities, for example, 0x0803 to 0x0BFF may be assigned to low priority programs, and 0x0C00 to 0x0FEE may be assigned to high priority programs.
