Description

  The present invention relates to a system for managing operation of a business vehicle belonging to an office.

Conventionally, an in-vehicle device capable of acquiring continuous records of vehicle behavior has been called a tachograph. This is to record vehicle behavior data such as vehicle speed and distance traveled on the recording paper over time, and objectively prove that there was no speed violation during the period of operation of the vehicle. Although possible, the data was originally recorded on analog media called recording paper. There has been a long time when this analog tachograph (analog tachograph) is the only vehicle behavior data recording device.
Later, as a result of improvements to analog tachographs, digital tachographs (digital tachographs) that perform recording on digital media (eg, memory cards) appeared. As a result, vehicle behavior data can be handled as digital data.

In recent years, an in-vehicle digital device called a drive recorder (so-called “Doraco”) has been rapidly spreading.
An imaging device, an acceleration sensor, a microphone, a removable recording medium, an I / F that acquires behavior data from the vehicle, and the like can be acquired continuously or intermittently and recorded on the recording medium. .
Originally, a drive recorder detects abnormal behavior (especially acceleration) of a vehicle and records vehicle behavior data (especially video) for a predetermined time before and after the detection, and in an unexpected accident without a witness. Although it was insurance against the risk of liability, the drive recorder can now realize the function of a digital tachograph by connecting speed information (usually a vehicle speed pulse signal) from the vehicle to the I / F that acquires behavior data. It was.

In addition, car navigation systems (so-called “car navigation systems”) have become more popular than drive recorders. Since this car navigation system normally uses a global positioning system called GPS (Global Positioning System), GPS positioning information by the car navigation system is connected as one of the vehicle behavior data recorded by the drive recorder. Furthermore, highly accurate vehicle behavior data can be recorded with a drive recorder.
The same effect can be obtained by connecting a GPS receiver, not a car navigation system, to the drive recorder alone.

As described above, when an environment in which vehicle behavior data can be acquired as digital data is prepared, a business operator who owns a certain number of private vehicles or a business operator that operates business vehicles can simplify vehicle operation management. The idea of using a drive recorder was born.
One example is disclosed in prior art documents.

JP 2010-128983 A

First, consider the problem of the conventional analog tachograph.
Normally, vehicle behavior data recorded on analog tachograph recording paper is received from the vehicle driver by the vehicle manager (safe driving manager, operation manager, etc.) of the establishment to which the vehicle belongs. To confirm.
Although the vehicle behavior data recorded on the recording paper is shown in a graph and has a clear feeling, it requires a certain amount of training and experience to infer the actual vehicle driving situation from the graph on the recording paper. The result depends greatly on the ability of the vehicle manager to In other words, the confirmation result is dominated by the personal ability of the vehicle manager. For this reason, it has been difficult to set a fixed evaluation standard.
Furthermore, since this operation performed by the vehicle manager is a manual operation, the man-hours cannot be ignored.

Next, consider the problem of digital tachographs.
The vehicle behavior data recorded on the recording paper by the analog tachograph is recorded on the digital medium in the digital tachograph. Therefore, like the analog tachograph, the vehicle driver submits the digital media on which the vehicle behavior data is recorded to the vehicle manager of the office to which the vehicle belongs.
The vehicle manager receives a digital media in which vehicle behavior data is recorded from the driver, and the vehicle behavior data recorded in the digital media is a dedicated management terminal (a device that analyzes, manages, and tabulates vehicle behavior data. For example, a personal computer) and the vehicle behavior data is confirmed.
Both the analog tachograph and the digital tachograph have substantially the same format of the vehicle behavior data recorded. When considered as a graph, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents speed / movement distance. Therefore, what can be done at the management terminal to which the vehicle behavior data has been transferred is that the vehicle behavior data recorded on the recording paper of the analog tachograph can be simply viewed as digital data. It is about the confirmation of the necessary long break (sabotage).

However, the vehicle manager does not simply confirm the driver's traffic law violation. In recent years, due to the frequent occurrence of serious accidents caused by drivers of commercial vehicles being forced to drive for a long time, laws and regulations relating to labor management have been strengthened, and vehicle behavior data has not been confirmed in terms of labor management. It must not be.
For example, the driver must not drive continuously for more than the time stipulated by the relevant legislation and must take appropriate rest. Even if the driver observes the maximum speed limit, if the vehicle behavior data reveals that the driver is driving continuously for a long time, it will be a violation of another law.
However, it cannot be determined that the time when the vehicle is stopped is simply resting by the vehicle behavior data. This is because when the vehicle is stopped and the cargo is loaded and unloaded, it cannot be said that the vehicle is resting, and it is still regarded as working continuously.
Further, there may be a case where a plurality of drivers board a single vehicle and drive in turn. What is found from the vehicle behavior data is simply the behavior of the vehicle, and information such as “who was driving” cannot be judged from the vehicle behavior data.
Therefore, in terms of labor management, the vehicle manager cannot grasp the situation such as “who was driving” or “what was doing” only with the vehicle behavior data of the digital tachograph, and the driver was prescribed in advance. It is necessary to enter the work contents in a time series by hand on the daily report in the form and submit it to the vehicle manager together with the vehicle behavior data recorded on the digital media. The number of man-hours that the driver fills in the daily report and the work that the fleet manager checks by checking the vehicle behavior data and the daily report are already a heavy burden on the operator, and there has been a strong demand for efficiency.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems.
The vehicle operation management system according to the present invention is “
The manager who performs vehicle operation management is the operation status of one or more vehicles to be managed, and the labor status of one or more drivers who are drivers of the one or more vehicles and are to be managed. In the vehicle operation management system for managing
One or more vehicles to be managed are each equipped with a data collection device,
The data collection device collects vehicle behavior data about a mounted vehicle and vehicle driver data indicating a driver driving the vehicle,
The collected vehicle behavior data and the vehicle driver data are transferred to the manager's management terminal according to a predetermined method,
In the management terminal, the transferred vehicle behavior data and the vehicle driver data are processed by a predetermined method together with data prepared in advance to generate report data,
The report data is provided to the administrator ”.

According to the present invention, it is not necessary for the driver of the vehicle to enter the work content in the daily report between driving of the vehicle, and the man-hours for entry can be reduced. In addition, since there is no risk of incorrect entry in daily reports, confusion due to incorrect entry can be avoided. In addition, the driver is relieved from the obligation to fill in the daily report accurately, so the psychological burden is drastically reduced and the driver can concentrate on driving the vehicle, which is the original work, reducing traffic accidents and being aware of energy-saving driving. Side effects such as improvement also occur. Furthermore, there is of course an effect that resources such as man-hours for preparing templates for daily report documents, paper, printer toner, and writing tools to be filled in can be saved.
The vehicle manager does not need to collate the vehicle behavior data with the contents of the handwritten daily report document, and the number of confirmation steps can be reduced. The effect is enormous, especially in business establishments with many drivers.

In addition, since the behavior of the vehicle and the work contents of the driver are associated with each other, it is possible to clearly distinguish whether the wear of the vehicle is due to aged deterioration or due to the driver's negligence. If the degree of decrease in the value of the vehicle, which is the operator's asset, varies depending on the driver's qualities, the business owner can also improve management efficiency by giving preferential treatment to a good driver.
In addition, it is possible to infer the amount of wear of vehicle consumables (brake pads, engine oil, spark plugs, etc.) from vehicle behavior data, so it is possible to perform vehicle maintenance with appropriate content at an appropriate time. Thus, failure due to excessive maintenance or poor maintenance can be avoided, and as a result, the cost of vehicle maintenance can be reduced.

  On the premise that the present invention is implemented as application software “PER-Report” (registered trademark, hereinafter referred to as “this system”) that operates on Windows (registered trademark) of a PC (personal computer). This will be described with reference to the drawings.

It is a figure which shows the concept of this invention. It is a figure which shows the concept of the time in this invention. It is a screen immediately after starting this system. This is the screen when creating a daily report. It is an expansion of the main screen of FIG. This is the daily report editing screen.

It is drawing explaining the registered work point. It is drawing explaining the list of registered work points. It is drawing explaining point editing.

First, a data collection device that collects vehicle behavior data and a management terminal operated by a vehicle manager will be described with reference to FIG.
The data collection device is the drive recorder in FIG. Since speed information can be obtained from the mounted vehicle, it functions as a digital tachograph as described above. Further, an imaging device included in the drive recorder and a positioning device using a connected GPS unit are also handled as a data collection device. This drive recorder not only collects data when an abnormal acceleration called so-called event data recorder (EDR) is detected, but also includes a constant recording type that always captures and collects data.
That is, the data collection device is a device that continuously collects and records data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, travel distance, position, accelerator opening, sound, and image as time elapses. The collected data is vehicle behavior data.

Vehicle behavior data collected by the data collection device is recorded on digital media. In this embodiment, the flash memory card is called CF (Compact Flash: registered trademark).
This digital media (CF card) is subjected to initial processing before being used in the data collection device. At the time of this initial processing, information of the driver who uses this CF card (name or identification information as the management number of the affiliated office) is written. Therefore, a dedicated CF card is associated with one driver, and the driver then inserts his own dedicated CF card into the data collection device when starting driving the vehicle.
The vehicle driver data is the driver information such as “Who is this card” in this CF card, and “Which vehicle was driven when this card is inserted or removed from the data collection device” Vehicle identification information (= identification information of the data collection device).

Normally, a vehicle used for a business belonging to an office departs from the business office when the driving business starts and returns to the business office to complete the driving business. The driver receives the CF card from the vehicle manager before departure, inserts the CF card into the data collection device when he / she gets on the vehicle he / she drives, and departs. When returning, the order is reversed, and the driver stops the vehicle he / she drives at a predetermined position, and then removes the CF card from the data collection device and submits it to the vehicle manager.
The vehicle manager receives the CF card from the driver, inserts it into the management terminal, and transfers the vehicle behavior data recorded by the data collection device to the management terminal. Specifically, the management terminal is a personal computer equipped with a card reader / writer compatible with a CF card, and the present invention is realized as application software that operates on the personal computer. Then, the present invention is carried out to confirm the contents of the vehicle behavior data.

Next, the concept of time in this system will be described based on FIG.
This is a case where a vehicle is driven from the office which is the base and returns to the original office via work point A and work point B.
The operating time is the time when the power of the data collection device is ON, and is also the time when the vehicle engine is running. However, in the case of a hybrid vehicle or a vehicle equipped with an idling stop mechanism, this is the time during which the vehicle system itself was operating.
The traveling time is the time during which the vehicle is traveling during the operation time.
The idling time is a time during which the vehicle is stopped during the operation time.

Next, a screen immediately after starting this system will be described with reference to FIG.
(1) is a title bar on which buttons for changing the system name and window size are arranged.
(2) is a menu, and is divided into items such as “file”, “display”, and “help”.
(3) is a side menu, which is a shortcut to the work that the vehicle manager wants to perform.
(4) is a main screen where the report data is viewed and reprocessed.
The “capture order list” is to display a list in the order in which data is captured (transferred) from the CF card to the management terminal.
“Registered daily report list” is to display a list of daily reports registered in the system.
The “individual monthly report” is to display a monthly report for a specified specific individual (driver) or a specific vehicle.
“Monthly report by driver” is to display a list of one or a plurality of specified drivers (drivers) and a monthly report corresponding thereto.
“Monthly report by vehicle” is to display a list of one or more designated vehicles and a corresponding monthly report.
“Monthly report by location” is to display a list of one or more designated points and a corresponding monthly report. The “point” here is information that associates location information and place name information registered in advance separately.
“Registered work point” is to display a list of “information in which position information and place name information are associated” registered in advance as point information.
The following description will be continued on the assumption that the transfer (capture) of the vehicle behavior data to the management terminal of the system has already been completed.

(17) is a “print” button, which prints daily report information.
(18) is a “Save” button for registering the edited daily report information.
(19) is a “Close” button, which closes the daily report editing screen.

The work details displayed in (6) will be described.
As described above, this system can automatically obtain such contents that the driver of the vehicle has handwritten the work contents in the daily report document.
By registering “information that associates location information with location name information” as location information in advance, the location name indicates where the vehicle has gone by comparing the location and location information of the vehicle included in the vehicle behavior data. Can be grasped as
Further, the point information includes attribute information in addition to the position information and the place name information. The attribute indicates what kind of place the point is, and is used when the above-mentioned work content is automatically obtained. This attribute includes “work”, “customer”, “base”, “rest”, “gas station”, “port”, and the like.
For example, it is assumed that the vehicle has stopped for 30 minutes at a point where the attribute is “work” (such as a delivery destination of goods). In this case, it can be determined that the driver went to that point for delivery and unloaded the cargo. As a result, even if the vehicle was stopped, the driver was working for labor. As another example, it is assumed that the vehicle has stopped for 15 minutes at a point where the attribute is “break” (such as a convenience store). In this case, the driver can clearly determine that he was taking a break, so it can be determined that the driver is taking a break from the labor viewpoint.
Another reason is that the attribute “port” can be set. This is because when a business vehicle is placed on the ferry, the ferry boarding time may be regarded as a restraint time. For this reason, an attribute “port” is provided as a special treatment so that the presence or absence of a ferry can be detected.
It is also possible to determine the attribute by taking time into account. For example, if the delivery of goods is a routine work, the time required for the delivery work can be estimated in advance based on experience. By setting point information such as: delivery destination A, attribute: work, time: 30 minutes, when the vehicle behavior data indicates a one-hour stop at the point of delivery destination A, “30 minutes is It is possible to determine that “the rest is 30 minutes at the same point in the work time”, and it is possible to judge the work contents in more detail.
Thus, by including the attribute information in the point information, the daily work report can be efficiently created together with the vehicle behavior data.
In the display of the work detail list, it becomes easier to see if the display color is changed for each attribute.
The registration of the spot information will be described later.

Next, the map displayed in (14) will be described.
The basic function is to plot the vehicle position data included in the vehicle behavior data in time series. However, it is difficult to figure out the route if you follow a trajectory that patrols a certain area by simply plotting. In addition, it is necessary to intuitively link to the details of the work details described above.
In the map of this system, the idea which shows a normal path is made | formed by enabling the display of the small arrow which shows the advancing direction. There is also a contrivance that the color can be changed in a gradation as the degree of progress increases for the whole process plotted on the map. That is, the point on the plot is light at the time of departure and darker at the time of arrival. Thereby, when tracing a plot, it is possible to grasp the trajectory while understanding the progress of the whole process. The degree of progress can be based not only on the distance of the entire stroke but also on the basis of the total required time and the fuel remaining amount based on the fuel consumption. This makes it possible to grasp the trajectory by “understanding the distance criterion”, “understanding the time criterion”, “understanding the fuel remaining amount criterion”, and the like, which greatly assists in reexamining the route.
Further, when the balloon is drawn on the map based on the position information of the point indicated in the above-described work details, the work details and the map are intuitively linked. It is more effective to draw on the map with the same color as the color set by the point attribute. Furthermore, changing the size of the balloon according to the time spent at the point will help you understand more intuitively.
The data required for the map can be arbitrarily selected from those that can be used free of charge on the Internet or those that can be purchased for a fee.

In addition, the speed graph (7) and the engine speed graph (8) will be described.
These are time on the horizontal axis and speed and engine speed on the vertical axis. The configuration of the graph itself is basically the same as that recorded on a recording paper by a conventional analog tachograph.
However, this system has the following devices.
First, since the type of road that corresponds to the time when the vehicle was running can be determined based on the vehicle position data included in the vehicle behavior data, the maximum speed setting is automatically changed depending on whether the road is a highway or a general road. Is possible. Therefore, the determination of excess speed is more realistic. Furthermore, the maximum speed limit varies depending on the location, whether it is a highway or a general road. If this information is acquired from the outside as part of the map information, a finer maximum speed setting can be made, and the determination of overspeed will be even better.
In the era of analog tachographs, it was judged by guessing where the car was traveling during the time zone where it was thought that the vehicle was overspeeding, so the determination of overspeeding was dramatically simplified by the method of this system. It became.
The horizontal axis of the speed graph (7) and the engine speed graph (8) is also the time, and a special mark (a triangle in this embodiment) is used for the time when the data collection device detects an abnormal acceleration (impact). To indicate that something happened at that time.
Furthermore, this speed graph (7), engine speed graph (8), work details (6), and map (14) are linked to each other, and click on the location corresponding to the time marked with the special mark described above. Then, the display of the work details (6) and the map (14) is moved to a location corresponding to the time. As a result, it is possible to quickly know what and where a special mark (= abnormality has occurred) is being done. Of course, when an arbitrary point on the locus plotted on the map (14) is clicked, the display position of the cursor in the speed graph (7) and the engine speed graph (8) moves according to the time of passing through that point. The reverse link is also made.

  Next, the quick diagnosis graph / acceleration distribution graph (15) will be described.

First, the quick diagnosis graph will be described.
Based on the vehicle behavior data and vehicle driver data for which the daily report was created, according to a predetermined algorithm, each item of sudden braking, sudden steering, sudden acceleration, idling, and overspeed is evaluated and scored. A quick diagnostic graph is a graph in which these points are displayed in a radar chart. The larger the polygon area, the higher the evaluation.

Next, the acceleration distribution graph will be described with reference to FIGS.
The acceleration distribution graph is a graph in which the horizontal axis represents acceleration, the vertical axis represents speed, and the frequency is displayed by color. Thereby, the tendency of safe driving during operation such as the state of acceleration at the start and the state of deceleration at the time of stop can be understood.
If a record remains even once during the operation, it is drawn as a light color, and thereafter it becomes a dark color according to the frequency. It can be seen that the darker the color is concentrated near the inner center of the reference frame (the line surrounding 0.2G) in the graph, the safer the driving is, the smaller the sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, and sudden handle.

The tendency is different between when driving on a general road and when driving on a highway, and between longitudinal acceleration and lateral acceleration.
7 and 8 are graphs of longitudinal acceleration and lateral acceleration on a general road, respectively, and FIGS. 9 and 10 are graphs of longitudinal acceleration and lateral acceleration on an expressway, respectively.
Referring to FIG. 7 (longitudinal acceleration graph on a general road), dark colors are concentrated in the vicinity (1) of 0 G · 40 km / h, which can be said to be safe driving.
When the color is concentrated in the vicinity of 0G · 0km / h (2), it means that the ratio of the vehicle stop time to the operation time is large, which indicates that the time for traffic jam and idling is long. .
If a dark color appears on the deceleration side from 0.2G to 0.5G (3), it can be determined that there is a tendency to step on the brake suddenly.
If there is a dark color from 0.2G to 0.5G (4) on the acceleration side, it can be judged that there is a tendency to start suddenly, so be careful not to get a color in this area with a soft accelerator in mind. Expected to improve fuel economy.
Referring to FIG. 8 (left-right acceleration graph on a general road), when the handle is turned to the right, the graph is plotted on the left G side of the graph, and when the handle is turned to the left, the graph is plotted on the right G side of the graph. The closer to, the less the left and right acceleration, and safer driving.
Referring to FIG. 9 (longitudinal acceleration graph on a highway) and FIG. 10 (left / right acceleration graph on a highway), it can be said that driving in which a dark color is concentrated in the vicinity of 0G · 80 km / h (6) is good driving. . The overspeed (8) can be seen at a glance and is very useful as an evaluation index for safe driving.

As described above, the daily report can be automatically created from the vehicle behavior data and the vehicle driver data transferred from the data collection device to the management terminal, and the contents can be efficiently confirmed. Yes.
When the vehicle manager receives the CF card from the driver, the vehicle manager generates a daily report based on the vehicle behavior data and the vehicle driver data in this way, confirms the contents, and asks the driver for consent. . In some cases, the driver may challenge the automatically generated daily report. In this case, the vehicle manager can also manually correct the objection.
The daily report is completed only when both the vehicle manager and the driver agree with the contents of the daily report. The completed daily report data is registered in this system.

Next, monthly reports will be described.
In this system, there are four types of monthly reports: individual monthly report, monthly report by driver, monthly report by vehicle, and monthly report by location.

An individual monthly report is a summary of monthly trends for a specific driver or a specific vehicle.
This will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 11 (1), the individual monthly report is selected, and in (2), the driver or vehicle to be the target of the individual monthly report is selected. Then, (3) an individual monthly report appears on the main screen by clicking the display button.

In particular, by arranging the operation graph (16), the device is designed so that the daily operation status of the day can be seen at a glance while being a list.

The monthly report for each driver is a summary of monthly trends for all drivers or arbitrarily selected drivers.
This will be described with reference to FIGS.

The “category” and “range” which are characteristic points of this system will be described.
A division is an attribute in the above-mentioned point information. "Work", "customer", "base", "rest", "gas station", "port", etc. can be set. By attaching these classifications (attributes) to points, it is possible to process daily reports by combining with vehicle behavior data, which is an important point in this system.
The range is a threshold value for determining how many meters from the center of the point the radius is regarded as this point. Although not shown in this figure, a more flexible point setting is possible if it is possible to further set how much the center of the range circle is shifted from the latitude and longitude of the point separately from the range (= radius).

As described so far, by using this system, the work efficiency of the vehicle manager is improved, and the man-hour for the vehicle management work of the driver is reduced.
Furthermore, it is a matter of course that the information accumulated by using the system for a long time further improves the business efficiency.

While the first embodiment has been described above, the present system is not limited to this.
For example, by registering stop information as point data, there is an effect that a business operator who operates a route bus can easily obtain the scheduled operation rate of the route bus.
A method of detecting the use of a highway by connecting an ETC device other than the GPS unit is also preferable as the accuracy of daily report preparation is further improved. If the highway usage status cannot be acquired as a signal from the ETC device, a method is also conceivable in which the ETC device detects the use of the highway by detecting the sound emitted when passing through the gate of the highway.

In the first embodiment, the description has been made assuming a single PC (personal computer) as a management terminal. All of the data transferred from the CF card is stored in an external storage device (specifically, HDD: hard disk drive) connected to this PC.
However, depending on the form of the business operator, there may be a case where the business offices at the start and the end of the business, such as a high-speed bus or a long distance truck, are different.
In order to cope with such a case, a mechanism for storing vehicle behavior data and vehicle driver data transferred from the CF card in a storage on the network in an integrated manner with a management terminal at each office. Anyway. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to start and finish work regardless of the location as long as the business is the same business, so it is suitable for more business.

In the first embodiment, vehicle speed / acceleration / movement distance / position / accelerator opening / sound / image are assumed as vehicle behavior data, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is no exaggeration to say that almost all data relating to vehicle behavior can be acquired since a recent automobile has been digitized and a communication network such as CAN has been built in the vehicle.
Specifically, engine speed, blinker, hazard, parking lamp, headlamp (Off / clearance / Lo / Hi), fog lamp, wiper (Off / On / mist / intermittent), window washer spraying, side mirror (folding / Adjustment) ・ Door lock ・ Door open / close ・ Child lock ・ Window ・ Fueling port ・ Gear (forward) ・ Gear (reverse) ・ Accelerator ・ Clutch (MT car only) ・ Brake ・ Parking brake ・ Speed brake (medium size large car) ・It is possible to detect the operation and movement of air conditioner, seat belt attachment / detachment, seat position, horn, interior light, audio, distance meter, etc., and information such as vehicle outside temperature, interior temperature, exterior illumination, etc. as vehicle status Can be acquired. By combining these, it is possible to determine more advanced vehicle behavior.

For example,
Did you operate the left blinker in a place that could be interpreted as a left turn at an intersection when following the trajectory of the vehicle position data obtained by GPS or the like? How many meters before the intersection was the operation start timing? Such a judgment becomes possible.
In the case of prohibiting the reverse movement of a large vehicle other than a specific point as a business establishment policy, it is possible to know whether the prohibited matter has been observed by combining the vehicle position data and the reverse gear data.
It is possible to detect door opening / closing, door lock, seat belt attachment / detachment, seat position change, side mirror adjustment, excessive audio operation, etc., which can be considered as actions that should not be done while driving, and it is dangerous for the driver to drive It becomes possible to use it as a document for later safe driving guidance.
It is also possible to detect headlamp high beam, decelerating brake operation, horn squealing, long-time idling, etc. that should not be done while stopping, it is possible to detect the propensity of the driver to stop, It can also be used as material for later safe driving guidance.
Such a combination of various data and a determination method use determination means defined in advance in the form of a matrix or a macro. In addition, there are essential ones based on the road traffic law and voluntary ones based on the company's policy, giving weights according to the contents, giving points etc., and quantifying the quality of driving by the driver The evaluation is easy to understand.
Since the above-described determination means differ depending on the policy of the business operator and the vehicle type, it is more preferable to have a function of creating, editing, reading, and saving the determination means as part of this system.

Further, among the above-described vehicle behavior data, information generated by a driver's operation can be analyzed in advance by further linking "parts to be operated" information in advance.
Specifically, “winker: right hand” “parking brake: left hand” “clutch: left foot” “brake: right foot” “accelerator: right foot”, etc. Based on this, when analyzing the acquired vehicle behavior data in time series, for example, the situation where the brake and accelerator operation, which is the operation with the right foot tied as a part related to the operation, is occurring at the same time is appropriate driving It turns out that it is not operation.
Since this “part for operation” information varies depending on the type of vehicle, it is efficient to prepare for each type of vehicle in advance.

Furthermore, this system is not suitable only for a business operator who operates many commercial vehicles.
For example, the present invention can be applied to a business operator who carries out car rental or car sharing.
The daily report in the first embodiment shows the user's driving superiority in the present embodiment, and has the effect of clarifying whether the customer is good or bad. For example, it can be applied as a means for efficiently providing a better service to a user with a high degree of safe driving by applying a special discount.

In addition, the present system can be applied to general private vehicles.
For example, it is also effective for vehicles that are not so-called “wa” numbers such as residual value setting loans and leases.
From the sales and rental side of dealers and other vehicles, there is high interest in how the vehicle has been used at the time of residual value settlement or lease termination, but there are no specific figures other than mileage, and appearance. We were able to grasp the usage status only by checking. In short, even if it is the same mileage, it is not apparent from the appearance whether it rides carefully or roughly.
However, by applying this system, damage to the vehicle can be estimated as a specific numerical value based on the vehicle behavior data.

For example,
From the acceleration sensor and brake data, you can see what kind of load has been applied to the suspension and chassis.
From the data on the operation of the air conditioner, audio and headlamps and the data on the engine speed, we can see what kind of load has been applied to the battery.
From the engine speed data and gear data, you can see what kind of load has been applied to the engine.

  In this way, even a general private vehicle can be used as an objective evaluation index of the usage status of the vehicle. The vehicle used by the driver who is polite driving will be highly evaluated, so that polite driving is recognized as a valuable act by the public, and this will eventually lead to the spread of safe driving Can be expected.

  The present invention has been described above with a plurality of preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Of course.

By using a mass data collection device and a mass production management terminal, both vehicle managers and drivers can reduce man-hours, save resources, and save energy.
