A center server 30 collects the measured results in real time and when the number of times of violations is equal to or larger than the threshold, transmits the notification information to a management terminal 20. This means that a manager is notified in real time only when the number of times of unfavorable driving states detected by the on-vehicle device 10 in terms of safety or fuel consumption is large, allowing the manager to make a judgement according to whether or not the notification is given; the manager can determine that he/she might need to notify the driver or review the driving plan when the notification is given, or need not take these actions when the notification is not given.

Description

  The present invention relates to a driving diagnosis management system capable of managing the driving contents of a driver.

  Conventionally, various diagnoses related to the driver's driving contents are performed based on the detection results of various sensors installed in the vehicle, and the results of the diagnosis are recorded or notified to the driver. A driving diagnosis device that promotes fuel consumption driving is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  This type of driving diagnosis device is used in, for example, a management office such as a transportation company or a bus transportation station, where the manager side evaluates the appropriateness of each driver for driving operation, and provides safe driving or saving for drivers with low appropriateness. It may be used to instruct fuel efficient driving.

  In this case, for example, the number of violations detected by the driving diagnosis device mounted on the vehicle (for example, truck, bus, etc.) driven by the driver from the aspect of safety or fuel consumption is regarded as the number of violations. It is recorded in a portable storage medium such as a memory, and a mode in which diagnostic information such as the number of violations is read from the portable medium by a terminal used by the administrator (hereinafter referred to as “management terminal”) is adopted.

JP 2010-231776 A

  By the way, in such an aspect, since the administrator side cannot obtain diagnostic information in real time, a notification is made to the driver who is driving to promote improvement from an improper state such as dangerous driving or fuel consumption deterioration driving. It has been difficult to change the operation plan of the vehicle and deal with it in order to allow time.

On the other hand, the aspect which transmits diagnostic information to a management terminal from a driving | operation diagnostic apparatus one by one by radio | wireless communication can be considered.
However, in this case, the administrator side must judge in real time whether it is necessary to contact the driver or review the operation plan based on all diagnostic information, so the burden on the administrator side is excessive. There was a possibility.

  In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a driving diagnosis management system capable of reducing the burden on the administrator side when managing the driving contents of the driver in real time.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is based on detection data representing the driving state of a vehicle, and measures the number of times that the driving content of the vehicle driver deviates from safe driving or low fuel consumption driving as the number of violations ( And a management terminal for a driver's manager to view a measurement result obtained by the in-vehicle device.

  In the present invention, in such a driving diagnosis management system, when the number of violations is equal to or greater than a preset threshold number, the control means for performing notification transmission processing for transmitting notification information for notification to the administrator side to the management terminal It was set as the structure which has.

  In such a configuration, the manager side is notified in real time only when the number of times that the in-vehicle device detects undesired driving details in terms of safety and fuel consumption increases. For this reason, the administrator can determine that there is a possibility that it may be necessary to contact the driver or review the operation plan if there is a notification, and there is no need for such notification if there is no notification. I can judge.

Therefore, according to this invention, when managing the driving | running | working content of a driver in real time, the burden on the manager side can be reduced.
Note that driving contents that are undesirable from the viewpoint of safety and fuel consumption include those resulting from the driving operation of the driver and those resulting from the physical condition of the driver.

  In the former case, for example, if an instantaneous value that simply represents the vehicle speed is included in the detection data, the number of violations is counted when the vehicle speed indicates a driving state that exceeds the legal speed based on this instantaneous value. Also good. In this way, when the number of times the driver does not comply with the legal speed increases, the manager can be notified in real time.

  Further, for example, if a difference value indicating a change in the amount of driving operation by the driver is included in the detection data, the number of violations may be counted when the amount of driving operation indicates a sudden change based on the difference value. . In this way, when a sudden accelerator operation, brake operation, or steering wheel operation by the driver increases, the manager can be notified in real time.

  Furthermore, for example, if the detection data includes an instantaneous value that indicates the on / off state of the winker switch and a difference value that indicates a change in the steering wheel operation amount, the value matches the direction when turning right or left based on these values. If the turn signal switch is not turned on, the number of violations may be counted.

  More specifically, by installing something that can detect the driving lane, such as a camera or radar, on the vehicle, the number of violations may be counted if the turn signal switch is not turned on properly at the time of lane change. If the vehicle has map information and can detect the current position, the number of violations may be counted when the vehicle is not slowing down when entering an intersection or when the turn signal switch is not turned on properly. .

  The above has described an example of diagnosis of a thing caused by the driving operation of the driver as an unfavorable driving content from the viewpoint of safety and fuel consumption, but in order to further diagnose a thing caused by the physical condition of the driver, Such an embodiment is conceivable.

  That is, if the duration of a specific driving state in the vehicle is included in the detection data, the number of violations may be counted when the specific driving state continues for a long time based on this duration. In this way, the manager can be notified in real time when the number of times that an unfavorable driving state continues for a long time due to the driving operation or condition of the driver increases.

  Note that, as the specific driving state, if the vehicle is at least one of the idling state and the continuous driving state, the former driving state that is undesirable from the viewpoint of fuel consumption due to the driving operation of the driver for a long time. In the latter case, the administrator will be notified in real time when the number of undesired driving conditions that lasted for a long time due to the driver's condition (the state of not taking sufficient breaks) has increased for a long time. Can do.

  Note that such a method of counting the number of violations can be appropriately set according to the type of operation content. For example, a method may be employed in which the number of violations is counted once when a certain period of time has elapsed and further counted once after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  As another setting, the control means is configured to variably set the threshold number of times (the number of times the administrator is notified when the number of violations exceeds this) based on transmission information from the management terminal. Convenient. According to such a configuration, for example, by adjusting the threshold number according to the number of vehicles to be managed, it is possible to prevent the number of times of notification to the manager side from being increased excessively, and to reduce the burden on the manager side. Can be reduced. The control means may be configured to variably set the threshold number according to the type of operation content.

By the way, the control means for performing the notification transmission process may be included in the in-vehicle device, or may be included in a relay device that can communicate with the in-vehicle device and the management terminal.
In the latter case, the in-vehicle device periodically transmits violation status information indicating the number of violations to the relay device, and the relay device performs notification transmission processing based on the violation status information received from the in-vehicle device. In this way, since the processing performed by the in-vehicle device can be simplified, the total cost in the system can be reduced every time the number of in-vehicle devices increases.

The violation status information may be information indicating the number of violations for all driving details, or may be information indicating the number of violations for each type of driving content.
In the latter case, the relay device performs notification transmission processing for each type of operation content. By consolidating such complicated processes in the relay device, it is possible to further reduce the total cost in the system. In addition, since the relay device can transmit to the management terminal what kind of driving content violation is notified, the administrator can easily take action according to the violation content. .

  In addition, when the management terminal receives notification information from the relay device, the management terminal transmits a confirmation email for confirming the status to the driver to the in-vehicle device that is the transmission source of the violation status information or the portable terminal possessed by the driver. Also good. In this way, the task of contacting the driver from the manager side can be simplified, and the burden on the manager side can be further reduced.

  Alternatively, when the relay device transmits the notification information to the management terminal, the relay device transmits a confirmation email for confirming the status to the driver to the in-vehicle device that is the transmission source of the violation status information or the portable terminal possessed by the driver. Also good. In this way, since the processing performed by the management terminal can be simplified, it is possible to provide a system that is not easily limited by the specifications of the management terminal.

  Also, in this case, when the relay device receives a reply email to the confirmation email from the driving diagnosis device that is the source of the violation status information or the portable terminal owned by the driver, the relay device forwards the reply email to the management terminal. Also good. In this way, since the in-vehicle device or mobile terminal that has received the confirmation email only needs to send a reply email to the sender of the confirmation email, the in-vehicle device is compared with the case where the reply email is sent directly to the management terminal. The processing load of the driver and the operation load of the driver can be reduced.

It is a flowchart which shows the content of the violation condition transmission process which the vehicle equipment 10 performs. It is a flowchart which shows the content of the notification transmission process which the center server 30 performs. It is a flowchart which shows the content of the confirmation transmission process which the management terminal 20 performs.

Below, driving diagnosis management system 1 as an embodiment of the present invention is explained with a drawing.
<Overall configuration>
The driving diagnosis management system 1 is a system capable of managing the driving contents of a driver. As shown in FIG. 1, the driving diagnosis management system 1 includes an in-vehicle device 10 mounted on a vehicle such as a truck and a bus, a transportation company, a bus transportation station, and the like. A management terminal 20 provided in the office, a center server 30 as a relay device capable of communicating with the in-vehicle device 10 and the management terminal 20, and a mobile phone 40 possessed by the driver are configured.

  The mobile phone 40 is a well-known phone having at least a call function and a mail function. In addition, the management terminal 20 is a well-known terminal configured by, for example, a personal computer, connected to the Internet network, and having at least a browser function and a mail function.

<In-vehicle device>
The in-vehicle device 10 includes a driving diagnosis function 2 for performing various diagnoses on the driving contents of the driver based on the detection results of various sensors mounted on the vehicle, and an accident avoidance action such as a vehicle causing a traffic accident or sudden braking. And a well-known drive recorder function 3 for recording an image or the like for indicating an event that has started these traffic accidents and accident avoidance actions.

Specifically, the in-vehicle device 10 includes an in-vehicle device body 10a, a GPS antenna 11, a communication module 12, a camera 13, and the like.
The GPS antenna 11 is a well-known device that receives radio waves (GPS signals) from an artificial satellite for GPS (Global Positioning System) in order to detect the current position of the vehicle.

  The communication module 12 is a well-known wireless communication between the mobile phone 40 and the management terminal 20 connected to the Internet network through a base station connected to a mobile communication network used by the mobile phone 40 or the like. Is. Note that the mobile communication network and the Internet network are interconnected.

For example, one or a plurality of cameras 13 are provided to realize the drive recorder function 3, and are well-known cameras that capture surrounding images including the front of the vehicle.
The in-vehicle device body 10a includes various sensors / switches 14 (for example, a vehicle speed sensor, an accelerator opening sensor, a brake depression amount) for detecting the driving state of the vehicle in addition to the GPS antenna 11, the communication module 12, and the camera 13. Sensor, steering angle sensor, turn signal switch, ignition switch, shift lever position sensor, engine speed sensor, gyro sensor, acceleration sensor, geomagnetic sensor, etc.) and in-vehicle speaker 17a.

  The in-vehicle device main body 10a receives the vehicle speed, the accelerator operation amount, the brake operation amount, the handle operation amount, the turn signal switch on (left / right) / off state (hereinafter referred to as “the turn signal operation state”) from various sensors and switches 14. )), Current values of the vehicle such as detection values necessary to realize the operation diagnosis function 2 such as the ON / OFF state of the ignition switch, the shift lever position, and the engine speed, the angular velocity of the vehicle, the acceleration, and the azimuth angle from the geomagnetism. A detection value that can complement the position detection accuracy is input.

  Specifically, the in-vehicle device body 10a includes a control unit 15 that executes various processes for realizing the driving diagnosis function 2 and the drive recorder function 3, a map storage unit 16 that stores map data, and a control unit 15 A display unit 17b for performing various displays, an operation unit 18 for a user to perform various operations, and a memory connection unit 19 connected to a portable recording medium such as a memory card or a USB memory. .

  The map storage unit 16 is composed of, for example, a hard disk device or a DVD device, and the road type corresponding to the current position of the vehicle (for example, a general road, a highway, an intersection, etc.) from map data stored in the hard disk, DVD, or the like. Is used by the control unit 15 to read information for identifying the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as “road type information”).

  The operation unit 18 includes, for example, various switches and is used for performing various settings and registrations related to the operation diagnosis function 2 and the drive recorder function 3. For example, as various settings, the user determines whether or not to periodically transmit the operation details (hereinafter referred to as “diagnostic function item”) for executing the operation diagnosis function 2 among the plurality of operation details and the violation status information described later. There are settings to be selected, and various types of registration include registration for identifying a user (driver) and a vehicle.

  The control unit 15 is configured around a well-known microcomputer having a CPU, ROM, RAM, I / O, etc., and the CPU uses the RAM as a work area based on a program stored in the ROM, and an operation diagnosis function 2 and various processes for realizing the drive recorder function 3 are executed.

  For example, the processing for realizing the driving diagnosis function 2 (hereinafter referred to as “driving diagnosis processing”) is based on data (hereinafter referred to as “detection data”) generated by input values from various sensors / switches 14. The diagnostic function item set by the operation unit 18 is diagnosed, and the diagnosis result is recorded on a portable recording medium connected to the memory connection unit 19 or is transmitted to the driver via the in-vehicle speaker 17a and the display unit 17b. There is a main process for encouraging the driver to drive safely and save fuel by notifying.

  Further, in this main process, based on the detection data, the number of times the driving content of the driver deviates from at least one of safe driving and low fuel consumption driving is measured as the number of violations, and the measurement result is recorded on a portable recording medium. (Hereinafter referred to as “violation recording process”).

  In addition, the driving | running | working content by a driver includes the content which considered the physical condition of the driver | operator, such as whether the driver | operator is driving after taking the required rest besides the driving operation by a driver.

  The diagnostic function item is an item for diagnosing whether or not these driving contents are preferable from the viewpoint of safety and fuel consumption based on the detection data, for example, rapid acceleration diagnosis, sudden deceleration It is divided into items such as diagnosis, sudden turn diagnosis, continuous operation time diagnosis, intersection diagnosis, engine rotation diagnosis, idling diagnosis, and legal speed diagnosis.

  By the way, sudden acceleration diagnosis does not make the accelerator operation suddenly, sudden deceleration diagnosis makes the brake operation suddenly, sudden turn diagnosis makes the steering wheel operation suddenly, continuous operation time diagnosis breaks If the vehicle is not running continuously without sufficient, the intersection diagnosis is sufficiently slow in the intersection (and the blinker is issued when approaching the intersection), the engine rotation diagnosis is whether the engine is overworked, idling diagnosis The idling time is not long, and the legal speed diagnosis diagnoses whether the vehicle speed does not exceed the legal speed.

  In addition, the above detection data includes not only detection values such as vehicle speed (vehicle speed), acceleration, and blinker operation state but also quantitative values of detection values indicating driving operations such as an accelerator operation, a brake operation, and a steering wheel operation by a driver. A difference value indicating a change, a duration of a specific driving state such as a continuous driving state and an idling state of the vehicle, and the like are included.

  For this reason, in the violation recording process, for example, when the vehicle speed indicates a driving state exceeding the legal speed corresponding to the traveling road at the current position based on the detected value itself and the road type information read from the map storage unit 16, the violation is not detected. Count the number of violations, or count the number of violations when the vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined slowing speed when entering an intersection (when turning left or right) or when the blinker operation is not performed properly. The acceleration is used to increase the detection accuracy of the current position of the vehicle, or to record an image captured by the camera 13 before and after the drive recorder function 3 detects a predetermined impact acceleration or more. And so on.

  In addition, in the violation recording process, the difference value exceeds a predetermined threshold value, so that the number of violations is counted when the driving operation amount shows a sudden change, or the duration time exceeds a predetermined threshold time, Count the number of violations when a specific driving state continues for a long time. The continuous operation state can be specified from the vehicle speed input state, the idling state can be specified from the vehicle speed, the engine speed, and the like, and the duration can be measured by a timer not shown.

  In the violation recording process, at least the counted number of violations is recorded on a portable recording medium connected to the memory connection unit 19 for each diagnostic function item. The method of counting the number of violations is set in advance for each diagnostic function item. For example, when the above-described duration time exceeds a predetermined threshold time, the number of violations is counted once, and each time a predetermined time continues. The count number is integrated.

In addition, the control unit 15 executes processing (hereinafter referred to as “violation status transmission processing”) for transmitting information (hereinafter referred to as “violation status information”) indicating the number of violations measured when the violation recording processing is performed.
Specifically, in the violation status transmission process, as shown in FIG. 2, when the violation recording process is performed (S110), the control unit 15 determines whether a preset period of time has elapsed (S120). ). The regular time can be variably set by the operation unit 18, for example. And it waits until regular time passes in S120, and when this regular time passes, it transfers to S130.

  In S130, it is determined whether or not the setting states including those that can be changed by the operation unit 18 are violation notification setting states. If an affirmative determination is made here, the process proceeds to S140. If a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to S120. Return. The violation notification setting state means that at least one diagnostic function item for executing the driving diagnosis function 2 is set, that the violation status information is set to be transmitted periodically, and that the communication module 12 uses A setting state that satisfies all the conditions such as being set to a possible state. Incidentally, the violation notification setting state may have to satisfy a condition such as registration for identifying a user (driver) or a vehicle.

  In S140, violation status information representing the number of violations measured in S110 is transmitted to the center server 30 via the communication module 12, and the process returns to S110. In the violation status information, the number of violations is described for each diagnostic function item, an identifier (driver identifier, vehicle identifier) for identifying a user (driver) or a vehicle, and position information indicating the current position of the vehicle Are added and transmitted.

As described above, when the control unit 15 executes the violation recording process, the in-vehicle device 10 periodically transmits the violation status information to the center server 30.
<Center server>
On the other hand, the center server 30 is connected to the Internet network and stores violation status information transmitted from the in-vehicle device 10 and various data uploaded from the management terminal 20 (hereinafter referred to as “upload data”). Necessary every time it receives violation status information from the in-vehicle device 10 according to various settings from the web server function 4 that provides necessary data and processed data to the management terminal 20 according to various requests, and various settings from the management terminal 20 Accordingly, it has a mail distribution function 5 that automatically distributes mail with various messages to the in-vehicle device 10 (or the mobile phone 40) and the management terminal 20.

Specifically, the center server 30 includes a network interface (hereinafter referred to as “network I / F”) 31, a database 32, a control unit 33, and the like.
The network I / F 31 is an interface for connecting to the Internet network and transmitting / receiving various types of information. The network I / F 31 receives violation status information and location information from the in-vehicle device 10 and information (settings) regarding various requests and settings from the management terminal 20. Information), HTML format data and image data are transmitted to the management terminal 20, and various emails are transmitted to the in-vehicle device 10 (or the mobile phone 40) and the management terminal 20.

  The database 32 manages violation status information, location information, upload data, etc., and the management terminal 20 that has been authenticated by a user ID, password, etc. can easily retrieve and extract such information and data. Is. The database 32 stores violation status information, position information, upload data, map data, and the like for each driver identifier and vehicle identifier, and the violation status information stores the number of violations for each diagnostic function item. .

  The control unit 33 is configured around a well-known microcomputer having a CPU, ROM, RAM, I / O, etc., and the CPU uses the RAM as a work area based on a program stored in the ROM, and a web server function. 4 and various processes for realizing the mail delivery function 5 are executed.

  For example, the processing for realizing the web server function 4 provides data obtained by counting the history of the number of violations of each driver for each diagnostic function item in response to a request from the authenticated management terminal 20, or uploads There is a basic management process that provides data indicating when and where an unfavorable driving occurred using data (for example, an image captured by the camera 13), map data, and position information. In the basic management process, data can be provided in real time by acquiring a captured image of the camera 13 from the in-vehicle device 10.

  The process for realizing the mail delivery function 5 includes storing the violation status information in the database 32 each time the violation status information is received from the in-vehicle device 10 and the number of violations of the driver of the vehicle in each vehicle travel. When the number of times exceeds a preset threshold number, processing for transmitting various mails to the in-vehicle device 10 and the management terminal 20 (hereinafter referred to as “notification transmission processing”), and setting information representing various settings such as the threshold number from the management terminal 20 There is a process of receiving (hereinafter referred to as “setting reception process”).

  Specifically, in the setting reception process, the control unit 33 stores setting information transmitted from the management terminal 20 in a non-volatile memory such as the database 32 or a flash memory. The setting information includes, for example, the above threshold number, whether or not mail is automatically distributed to the in-vehicle device 10 (or the mobile phone 40), to which management terminal 20 the mail is automatically distributed, and the mail address of the mobile phone 40. Contains information about the settings. Note that the threshold number is set for each diagnostic function item or for each driver, for example.

  In the notification transmission process, as illustrated in FIG. 3, when the control unit 15 performs a setting reception process (S210) and receives setting information from the management terminal 20, the process proceeds to S220. Note that the setting reception process may be skipped when the setting information is already stored, and every time setting information is received from the management terminal 20 even during execution of the subsequent steps. , May be done by interruption.

  In S220, it waits until the violation status information is received from the in-vehicle device 10 via the network I / F 31, and when the violation status information is received, the received violation status information is stored in the database 32, and the process proceeds to S230.

  In S230, the database 32 is referred to based on the driver identifier or the vehicle identifier included in the violation status information received in S220, and the number of violations (accumulated value) in the violation status information periodically transmitted from the same in-vehicle device 10. ) Is equal to or more than the threshold number set in the setting reception process (for example, S210). If an affirmative determination is made here, the process proceeds to S240, and if a negative determination is made, the process returns to S220.

  Here, it is determined whether or not the number of violations is greater than or equal to the threshold number for each diagnostic function item, and if it is determined that the number of violations is greater than or equal to the threshold number for at least one diagnostic function item, the notification transmission process Of these, the subsequent processing may be performed, or the subsequent processing may be performed when it is determined that the cumulative number of violations is equal to or greater than the threshold number, regardless of the diagnostic function item.

  In S240, a notification email including a driver identifier or a vehicle identifier corresponding to the driver or vehicle determined in S230 that the number of violations is equal to or greater than the threshold number, and information such as the number of violations and diagnostic function items is sent to the network I / F 31. To the management terminal 20, and the process proceeds to S250.

  In S250, the setting information in the setting reception process (for example, S210) is read from the nonvolatile memory, and whether or not the setting (transmission setting to the driver) for automatically delivering the mail to the in-vehicle device 10 (or the mobile phone 40) is made. If an affirmative determination is made here, the process proceeds to S260. If a negative determination is made, the process returns to S220, thereby again waiting to receive violation status information periodically transmitted from the in-vehicle device 10.

  In S260, the confirmation mail for confirming the situation to the driver is sent to the mobile phone 40 possessed by the vehicle-mounted device 10 that is the transmission source of the violation status information received in S220 or the driver of the vehicle in which the vehicle-mounted device 10 is mounted. The data is transmitted via the network I / F 31, and the process proceeds to S270. The message content of this confirmation mail can be registered in advance from the authenticated management terminal 20.

  In S270, whether or not the reply mail for the driver to report the current status etc. to the management side is received via the network I / F 31 from the in-vehicle device 10 or the mobile phone 40 in S260. If it is determined and an affirmative determination is made here, the process proceeds to S280. If a negative determination is made, the process returns to S220.

In S280, the reply mail received in S270 is transmitted to the management terminal 20 via the network I / F 31, and the process returns to S220.
As described above, when the control unit 33 executes the notification transmission process, the manager side is notified when the number of times that the driving content of the vehicle driver has deviated from the safe driving or the low fuel consumption driving (the number of violations) exceeds the threshold number. Notification information for this purpose is automatically distributed from the center server 30 to the management terminal 20, and a confirmation mail is automatically distributed from the center server 30 to the in-vehicle device 10 or the mobile phone 40.

Further, when the control unit 33 executes the setting reception process, the center server 30 variably sets the threshold number based on the transmission information from the management terminal 20.
<Effect>
As described above, in the driving diagnosis management system 1, the in-vehicle device 10 determines the number of times that the driving content of the vehicle driver deviates from at least one of safe driving and fuel-efficient driving based on detection data representing the driving state of the vehicle. The number of violations is measured, and the center server 30 aggregates the measurement results. When the number of violations exceeds the threshold number, notification information is transmitted from the center server 30 to the management terminal 20.

  Therefore, only when the number of times that the in-vehicle device 10 has detected unfavorable driving details in terms of safety and fuel consumption is notified to the administrator in real time, the administrator side For example, if there is a notification, it can be determined that there is a possibility that it is necessary to contact the driver or review the operation plan, and if there is no notification, it can be determined that such a need is not necessary. Therefore, when managing the driving | running | working content of a driver in real time, the burden on the manager side can be reduced.

  In the driving diagnosis management system 1, the center server 30 is configured to variably set the threshold count based on the transmission information from the management terminal 20. For example, the threshold value is set according to the number of vehicles to be managed. By adjusting the number of times, it is possible to prevent the number of times of notification to the administrator side from becoming too large, and to reduce the burden on the administrator side suitably.

  In the driving diagnosis management system 1, the in-vehicle device 10 periodically transmits violation status information indicating the number of violations to the center server 30, and the center server 30 notifies based on the violation status information received from the in-vehicle device 10. Perform transmission processing. Thereby, since the process which the vehicle equipment 10 performs can be simplified (it is not necessary to perform a notification transmission process), every time the number of vehicle equipment 10 increases, the total cost in the driving diagnosis management system 1 is reduced. Can do.

  In the driving diagnosis management system 1, when the center server 30 transmits the notification information to the management terminal 20, the confirmation mail for confirming the situation to the driver is sent to the in-vehicle device 10 that is the source of the violation situation information or its The data is transmitted to the mobile phone 40 possessed by the driver. Thereby, since the process which the management terminal 20 performs can be simplified, the system which is hard to be restrict | limited to the specification (spec) of the management terminal 20 can be provided.

  In the driving diagnosis management system 1, when the center server 30 receives a reply mail for the confirmation mail from the in-vehicle device 10 that is the transmission source of the violation status information or the mobile phone 40 possessed by the driver, the reply mail is sent. Transfer to the management terminal 20. As a result, the in-vehicle device 10 or the mobile phone 40 that has received the confirmation email only needs to send a reply email to the sender of the confirmation email, so that the in-vehicle device is compared with the case in which the reply email is sent directly to the management terminal 20. 10 processing load and driver operation load can be reduced.

<Other embodiments>
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, it is possible to implement in various aspects.

  For example, in the notification transmission process of the above embodiment, when the center server 30 receives a reply mail for the confirmation mail from the in-vehicle device 10 or the mobile phone 40 by performing S270 and S280, the reply mail is transferred to the management terminal 20. However, S270 and S280 are not necessarily performed. That is, a configuration in which the in-vehicle device 10 or the mobile phone 40 directly transmits a reply email to the confirmation email to the management terminal 20 may be employed.

  In the notification transmission process of the above embodiment, when the center server 30 transmits the notification information to the management terminal 20 by performing S250 and S260, the confirmation mail for confirming the situation to the driver is sent to the in-vehicle device 10 or Although transmitted to the mobile phone 40, S250 and S260 are not necessarily executed.

In this case, the management terminal 20 may perform processing (hereinafter referred to as “confirmation transmission processing”) including steps corresponding to S250 and S260.
Specifically, in the confirmation transmission process, as shown in FIG. 4, when the management terminal 20 receives notification information (notification mail) from the center server 30 (S310), the management terminal 20 user (administrator side) Whether to send a confirmation mail is selected (S320). Here, when the selection to send the confirmation mail is made, the process proceeds to S330, and when the selection not to send the confirmation mail is made, the confirmation transmission process is ended.

  In S330, the administrator side selects whether to use a pre-registered mail (fixed mail) as a confirmation mail or to newly enter message contents. When the use of a fixed mail is selected here, S340 When a new input is selected, the process proceeds to S350.

  In S340, the newly input message content is registered, and the process proceeds to S350. In S350, a confirmation mail is transmitted to the in-vehicle device 10 or the mobile phone 40, and the confirmation transmission process ends.

  As described above, the management terminal 20 performs the confirmation transmission process, so that the administrator side can transmit a confirmation mail on an occasional basis or call the mobile phone 40 to contact the driver.

  In the in-vehicle device 10 of the above-described embodiment, the camera 13 is configured to capture a surrounding image including the front of the vehicle, but may be installed in the vehicle so that the captured image includes a traveling lane. Good. In this case, in the driving diagnosis process, it is possible to determine whether or not the vehicle has changed the lane based on the image captured by the camera 13, and therefore the driver appropriately performs the winker operation when changing the lane based on the winker operation state. It can be diagnosed whether or not. Thereby, in the violation recording process, it is possible to count the number of violations even when the blinker operation is not appropriately performed when the lane is changed.

  Further, in the violation recording process of the above embodiment, it is possible to measure the number of times the driving content by the driver of the vehicle deviates from at least one of safe driving and low fuel consumption driving as the number of violations, but it is not limited thereto. The configuration may be such that only the number of times the driving content of the vehicle driver deviates from safe driving can be measured as the number of violations, or only the number of times deviating from low fuel consumption driving can be measured as the number of violations.

  In the driving diagnosis management system of the above embodiment, when the center server 30 executes the notification transmission process and the number of violations exceeds the threshold number, the notification information is automatically distributed from the center server 30 to the management terminal 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be such that when the in-vehicle device 10 performs a process corresponding to the notification transmission process and the number of violations exceeds a threshold, the notification information is transmitted to the management terminal 20.
