Description

  The present invention relates to an in-vehicle device for bus vehicle management and a bus vehicle management system.

  In companies that operate business vehicles such as buses, taxis, and trucks, in order to prevent the occurrence of accidents due to overworked driving by crew members, it is necessary for a predetermined manager to appropriately perform labor management of crew members.

  For example, in the case of a one-man operation of a high-speed shared bus and a reserved bus, the actual vehicle distance of one operation is limited to 500 km in principle during the day and 400 km in principle at night.

  Here, “one-man operation” refers to an operation in which a replacement driver is not traveling. “Night one-man operation” means a one-man operation in which the time when the first passenger gets on or the time when the last passenger gets off is between 2 am and 4 am, or the one-man operation across the time. In addition, “one service” refers to a series of crews from the start of the driving including the forwarding service to the end of the driving among the daily crews of one driver.

  In addition, it is stipulated that the rest period of bus, taxi, and truck car drivers (separate from work and work hours is different from break time) requires at least 8 hours in principle after the end of work. ing.

  Therefore, vehicles such as buses, taxis, trucks, etc. that have been managed by companies have been equipped with digital tachographs, that is, on-board devices for operation records, and managers based on the operation information recorded by these on-board devices. Manages labor for each crew member and manages the operation of each crew member so that they do not violate the law.

  Digital tachograph on-board equipment mounted on buses, etc., distinguishes the status of vehicles such as “forwarding”, “actual vehicle”, “nighttime”, “entry”, etc., in order to enable appropriate labor management of crew. Can be recorded. In addition, the state of the vehicle such as “forwarding”, “actual vehicle”, “nighttime”, “entrance”, etc., which is grasped by the digital tachograph, is generally switched when the digital tachograph detects the button operation of the crew.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a device forgetting to press an actual vehicle button provided in a taximeter. The device of Patent Document 1 includes a first sensor that outputs a boarding signal when a passenger is detected, and a second sensor that detects a start preparation operation after closing the door and outputs a start preparation signal. If you try to start without pressing the actual car button, you will be alerted by sound.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a taximeter confirmation forgetting prevention device. The device of Patent Document 2 includes a projector and a light receiver provided at the rear door of a taxi, and the meter display status signal is “empty” or “intercepted” after a predetermined time has elapsed since the door opened to allow passengers to get on. It has a controller that outputs a meter confirmation signal when it remains in the state.

  Patent Document 3 shows a taximeter display switching device. The device of Patent Document 3 has a vehicle state signal input unit for inputting a vehicle speed signal and a rear door opening / closing signal, and changes the state such as “empty vehicle”, “actual vehicle”, “total”, etc. according to the button operation on the taximeter, One of a plurality of display modes prepared in advance is automatically selected based on the vehicle speed signal and the rear door opening / closing signal.

  However, the digital tachograph in-vehicle device mounted on the bus vehicle switches the state of the vehicle such as “forwarding”, “actual vehicle”, “nighttime”, “entrance”, etc. by the crew's button operation, so forgetting to operate or operating mistakes occur there's a possibility that. Therefore, there is a case where operation information necessary for labor management cannot be recorded accurately.

  For example, when managing a taxi vehicle, as shown in Patent Documents 1 to 3, the open / closed state of the rear door is detected, and a button operation is forgotten by a sound or the like based on this change. It is possible to call attention.

  However, in the case of bus vehicles such as high-speed shared buses and chartered buses, for example, after leaving the garage and entering the "forwarding" state until the "real vehicle" state where passengers can board In addition, there is a possibility that the crew member temporarily stops to adjust the time or to perform some kind of preparatory work, and the crew member opens and closes the door. Therefore, simply referring to the open / closed state of the door does not tell whether the vehicle has changed from “forwarding” to “actual vehicle”.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and its purpose is a bus capable of preventing the vehicle-mounted device from grasping an erroneous operation state due to a crew member forgetting an operation or an operation mistake. An object is to provide a vehicle management vehicle-mounted device and a bus vehicle management system.

  According to this on-vehicle device for bus vehicle management, when the bus vehicle changes from the forwarding state to the actual vehicle state, it is possible to correctly grasp that the driver has switched to the actual vehicle state without performing a button operation. In other words, in the operation of high-speed shared buses and chartered buses, the operation route is determined in advance, and the passenger boarding / departing point is also on this route, so the passenger boarding / departing point is registered in advance as the position of the specific point can do. That is, if opening / closing of a door is detected at a specific boarding / exiting point on the operation route, there is a high possibility of passengers getting on / off, so that it can be considered that the vehicle is in an actual state. Since it is not necessary for the crew to operate the buttons, it is unlikely that the vehicle-mounted device will erroneously grasp the operating state of the bus vehicle.

  Specific embodiments relating to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, a configuration example of the bus vehicle management system will be described.
FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the on-board device for bus vehicle management and the bus vehicle management system according to the embodiment of the present invention. An example of the appearance of the bus vehicle is shown in FIG.

  The bus vehicle management system shown in FIG. 3 includes an in-vehicle device 10 and an office PC 40. The vehicle-mounted device 10 is mounted on the bus vehicle 25 as shown in FIG. The office PC 40 is installed in the office of a company that manages the bus vehicle 25, for example.

  The vehicle-mounted device 10 has a function of a digital tachograph, that is, a vehicle operation recorder. Moreover, the onboard equipment 10 of this embodiment is provided with the special function useful when managing operation of a bus vehicle so that it may mention later.

  The office PC 40 is configured by incorporating special software necessary for managing bus operations and labor management of crews operating the bus on a general personal computer (PC). That is, the office PC 40 can display the operation state of the bus vehicle 25 to be managed on the screen, or create the daily operation report 41 and output it on the screen or on paper.

  The vehicle-mounted device 10 is equipped with a wireless communication function for securing a communication line by wireless connection with, for example, a wireless base station of the wide area wireless communication network 30 provided by a mobile communication carrier or the like. The office PC 40 is equipped with a communication function for connecting to the Internet network 35. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted device 10 and the office PC 40 can be connected in a communicable state via the wide area wireless communication network 30 and the Internet network 35 as shown in FIG. For example, a predetermined server arranged on the Internet network 35 may be configured to relay data communication between the vehicle-mounted device 10 and the office PC 40.

  Since the vehicle-mounted device 10 has a digital tachograph function, as a basic function, various information can be automatically collected and recorded on a predetermined recording medium on the mounted vehicle. Further, the vehicle-mounted device 10 can transmit the collected various information to the office PC 40 via the wide area wireless communication network 30 and the Internet network 35.

  The office PC 40 receives various information transmitted by the vehicle-mounted device 10 via the wide area wireless communication network 30 and the Internet network 35, and performs operation management of the bus vehicle 25 and labor management of the crew based on the received information. Process.

Next, a configuration example of the onboard unit for bus vehicle management will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the vehicle-mounted device 10 includes a microcomputer (CPU) 11, a speed signal interface 12, an engine signal interface 13, a GPS interface 14, an analog signal interface 15, an external input interface 16, a wide area wireless communication module 17, a nonvolatile memory A memory 18, a volatile memory 19, an SD card 20, a switch (SW) input unit 21, a liquid crystal display (LCD) 22, and an antenna 23 are provided.

  The microcomputer 11 performs control for realizing various functions required by the vehicle-mounted device 10 by executing a program incorporated in advance. For example, various information relating to vehicle operation is automatically collected and recorded on the SD card 20 as a recording medium, or data is transmitted to the office PC 40 using a wireless communication line.

  The speed signal interface 12 receives a speed pulse signal output from a vehicle-side sensor and converts it into a signal suitable for processing by the microcomputer 11. The traveling speed (km / h) of the host vehicle can be calculated based on the pulse period of the speed pulse signal or the number of pulses within a certain time, and the traveling distance can also be calculated based on the number of pulses.

  The engine signal interface 13 inputs an engine rotation pulse signal output from a vehicle-side sensor and converts it into a signal suitable for processing by the microcomputer 11. Based on the pulse period of the engine rotation pulse signal or the number of pulses within a predetermined time, the engine rotation speed (rpm) can be calculated.

  The GPS interface 14 performs signal processing for connecting a predetermined GPS receiver mounted on the host vehicle to the vehicle-mounted device 10. The GPS receiver can receive radio waves from a plurality of GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites, and output latitude / longitude information indicating the current position of the host vehicle based on the reception time.

  The analog signal interface 15 includes an A / D converter for inputting various analog signals output from the vehicle side and converting them into digital signals that can be processed by the microcomputer 11.

  The external input interface 16 inputs various binary signals output from the vehicle side and converts them into signals having voltages suitable for processing by the microcomputer 11. In the present embodiment, a door opening / closing signal is input to the external input interface 16 from a switch that operates in conjunction with the opening / closing of the vehicle door 25a of the bus vehicle 25 shown in FIG. Therefore, the microcomputer 11 can recognize the open / closed state of the vehicle door 25a.

  The wide area wireless communication module 17 performs wireless communication via the antenna 23 with a wireless base station included in the wide area wireless communication network 30 provided by a mobile communication carrier or the like, and is necessary for performing data communication. It has a function to secure a communication line.

  The nonvolatile memory 18 holds data such as programs and various constants necessary for the operation of the microcomputer 11 in advance. The volatile memory 19 is a memory in which data can be written and read by accessing the microcomputer 11, and is used to temporarily store various data.

  The SD card 20 is a recording medium incorporating a nonvolatile memory for storing data such as operation information collected by the vehicle-mounted device 10. The SD card 20 is detachably attached to a card slot (not shown) provided in the vehicle-mounted device 10. In the storage area on the SD card 20, information representing a specific crew member possessing the SD card 20 and information such as the number of the bus vehicle 25 are registered in advance.

  The switch input unit 21 performs signal processing for inputting signals indicating various switch states that can be operated by the crew to the microcomputer 11. For example, a binary signal of each switch that is interlocked with the operation of buttons such as “actual vehicle”, “midnight”, “shipping”, “entry”, “high speed”, and “general” is input to the switch input unit 21.

  The liquid crystal display 22 has a display screen that can display various character information and the like in a state that the crew can visually recognize. The liquid crystal display 22 is used to display the operating state of the vehicle-mounted device 10 and to output a predetermined message to be notified to the crew.

  The main operations of the on-board unit for bus vehicle management and the bus vehicle management system in this embodiment are shown in FIGS. That is, in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, step S11-S26 represents operation | movement of the onboard equipment 10, and step S31-S33 represent operation | movement of office PC40.

  In addition, on the nonvolatile memory 18 of the vehicle-mounted device 10, position information indicating the position of each of a plurality of specific points is registered in advance. That is, position information representing each of the passenger boarding points on the operation route in the predetermined operation schedule of the corresponding bus vehicle 25 is registered as fixed information.

  In step S11 of FIG. 1, the microcomputer 11 on the vehicle-mounted device 10 inputs the signal state indicating the open / close state of the vehicle door 25a from the external input interface 16, and identifies the presence / absence of the open / close operation. When the opening / closing of the vehicle door 25a, that is, there is a possibility of passenger getting on and off, the process proceeds from S11 to S12.

  In step S <b> 12, the microcomputer 11 acquires information on the current position of the host vehicle via the GPS interface 14.

  In step S <b> 13, the microcomputer 11 compares the current position acquired in S <b> 12 with the position information of each point registered in the nonvolatile memory 18. When the position of any one point registered in the non-volatile memory 18 and the current position substantially coincide, the process proceeds from S13 to S14. If they do not match, the process proceeds to S16.

  In step S14, the microcomputer 11 automatically recognizes the current operation state of the bus vehicle 25 as the “actual vehicle” state. For example, if it was in the “forwarding” state until then, the door opening / closing was detected at the passenger boarding / exiting point, so there is a very high possibility that the bus vehicle 25 has changed to the “real vehicle” state. Therefore, it is appropriate to switch from the “forwarding” state to the “actual vehicle” state even when there is no button operation by the crew.

  In step S15, the microcomputer 11 automatically transmits “actual vehicle” event information to the office PC 40 via the wireless communication line. This “actual vehicle” event information is information indicating that the bus vehicle 25 has been switched to the “actual vehicle” state, and includes information on the current time, vehicle number, crew information, and current position.

  When the “forwarding” state is switched to the “real vehicle” state, the “real vehicle” event information is also recorded on the SD card 20. Further, information on the “actual vehicle” state indicating the current operation state is stored in, for example, the nonvolatile memory 18.

  In step S <b> 16, the microcomputer 11 identifies whether or not the current operation state of the bus vehicle 25 known by the microcomputer 11 is the “actual vehicle” state. If it is in the “actual vehicle” state, the process proceeds to S17. If not, the process proceeds to S21 in FIG.

  In step S <b> 17, the microcomputer 11 acquires information on the current time managed inside the vehicle-mounted device 10, and compares the acquired current time with a reference time representing the “late-night actual vehicle” state. Specifically, it is identified whether or not “night one-man operation”.

  “Night one-man operation” is defined as “one-man operation where the time when the first passenger gets on or the last passenger gets off is between 2 am and 4 am, or one man operation across the time” Has been. Therefore, in step S17, it is identified whether or not the current time is included between 2:00 am and 4:00 am, that is, whether or not the reference time is exceeded in the “actual vehicle” state. ing. If the current time exceeds 2 am, the process proceeds from S17 to S18, and if it does not exceed 2 am, the process proceeds to S21.

  In step S <b> 18, the microcomputer 11 automatically recognizes the current operation state of the bus vehicle 25 as the “late-night actual vehicle” state. That is, the state is automatically switched from the “actual vehicle” state to the “late night actual vehicle” state.

  In step S <b> 19, the microcomputer 11 automatically transmits “late-night vehicle” event information to the office PC 40 via the wireless communication line. This “late-night actual vehicle” event information is information indicating that the bus vehicle 25 has been switched to the “late-night actual vehicle” state, and also includes current time, vehicle number, crew information, and current position information.

  Further, when the “actual vehicle” state is switched to the “late night actual vehicle” state, this “late night actual vehicle” event information is also recorded on the SD card 20. Further, information on the “late-night actual vehicle” state representing the current operation state is stored in, for example, the nonvolatile memory 18.

  In step S <b> 21 of FIG. 2, the microcomputer 11 identifies whether or not an “entry” operation has been detected. In the present embodiment, when the operation of the bus vehicle 25 on the current day ends and the bus vehicle 25 is stored, the crew operates the “entry” button provided on the vehicle-mounted device 10. When this button operation is detected by the microcomputer 11 based on a signal from the switch input unit 21, the process proceeds from S21 to S22.

  In step S <b> 22, the microcomputer 11 automatically recognizes the current operation state of the bus vehicle 25 as the “entry” state. That is, the state is switched from the “actual vehicle” or the “late night actual vehicle” to the “entry” state.

  In step S <b> 23, the microcomputer 11 automatically transmits “entry” event information to the office PC 40 via the wireless communication line. This “entry” event information is information indicating that the bus vehicle 25 has been switched to the “entry” state, and also includes current time, vehicle number, crew information, and current position information.

  Also, when the “actual vehicle” or “late-night actual vehicle” is switched to the “entry” state, the “entry” event information is also recorded on the SD card 20. In addition, information on the “warehousing” state indicating the current operation state is stored on, for example, the nonvolatile memory 18.

  For buttons other than “entry”, when the microcomputer 11 detects the operation of the crew in S24, the process proceeds to the next S25 and recognizes a change in state corresponding to the button operation. Then, event information indicating the changed state is transmitted to the office PC 40 in S26.

  On the other hand, in the office PC 40, when the on-vehicle device 10 receives the “actual vehicle” event information transmitted in S15, the bus vehicle of the corresponding number is displayed on the screen managing each vehicle based on the received information. The screen display is updated to indicate that the state of 25 is switched to “actual vehicle” (S31).

  Further, in the office PC 40, when the vehicle-mounted device 10 receives the “late night actual vehicle” event information transmitted in S19, the bus vehicle of the corresponding number is displayed on the screen managing each vehicle based on the received information. The screen display is updated so as to indicate that the state of 25 is switched to “late night actual vehicle”. In addition, information indicating that the vehicle has been switched to the “late night vehicle” is written in the daily operation report 41 generated by the office PC 40 (S32).

  Further, in the office PC 40, when the “on-going” event information transmitted by the vehicle-mounted device 10 in S23 is received, the bus vehicle 25 of the corresponding number is displayed on the screen managing each vehicle based on the received information. The screen display is updated to indicate that the status of is switched to “Receiving”. Further, in the daily service report 41 generated by the office PC 40, information indicating that the operation has been switched to “entry” is written together with information indicating a rest place (entrance location) (S33).

Next, a specific example of screen display will be described.
FIG. 5 shows an example of a screen on which the office PC 40 automatically displays the actual vehicle state at midnight. FIG. 6 shows an example of a daily operation report 41 screen that automatically displays rest places.

  As shown in FIG. 5, on the screen of the office PC 40, each of “delivery plan”, “attendance / working”, “calling”, “operation status”, “labor confirmation”, “crew management”, and “utility” You can display a screen for managing In the state shown in FIG. 5, the item “work status” in “operation status” is selected. In this screen, each of a plurality of bus vehicles to be managed can be distinguished by a vehicle number, and the current operation state can be displayed for each vehicle.

  In the example of FIG. 5, “departure” is displayed for the bus vehicle 25 with the vehicle number “20000086”. However, when the office PC 40 receives a “late-night event” from the vehicle-mounted device 10 of the corresponding vehicle. Instead of “departure”, “midnight vehicle” is automatically displayed (S32).

  A specific example of the contents of the daily service report 41 is displayed on the screen of the office PC 40 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, in this daily operation report 41, the current operation state classification (“departure”, “actual vehicle”, “entry”, etc.), and the like, and address for each event of switching the operation state of the bus vehicle 25. Or information such as location, date and time is displayed. Therefore, the rest place of the corresponding crew member can be specified from the contents of the daily service report 41.

  As described above, when using the vehicle-mounted device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the crew member operates the “actual vehicle” button when the operation state of the bus vehicle 25 is first switched from “shipping” to “actual vehicle”. Even without this, the operation state grasped by the vehicle-mounted device 10 can be automatically switched from “shipping” to “actual vehicle”. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation information from being recorded due to forgetting to press a button or an operation error. In addition, since it is not necessary to modify the recorded data, the burden on the administrator is reduced.

  Further, when the above-described vehicle-mounted device 10 is used, when the operation state of the bus vehicle 25 is first switched from “actual vehicle” to “late-actual vehicle”, the on-vehicle device does not have to operate the “late-actual vehicle” button. The operation state grasped by the vehicle 10 can be automatically switched from “actual vehicle” to “actual vehicle at midnight”. Therefore, both in the case of midnight time in the `` actual vehicle '' state and in the case of `` actual vehicle '' in the midnight state in the `` forward '' state, it is due to forgetting to press the button or an operation error. Incorrect operation information can be prevented from being recorded. In addition, since the “actual vehicle” and the “late-night actual vehicle” can be correctly distinguished, it is possible to appropriately manage the labor of the crew.

  Further, when the above-described vehicle-mounted device 10 and office PC 40 are used, when the operation state of the bus vehicle 25 is switched from “actual vehicle” or “late night actual vehicle” to “entry”, the office PC 40 rests the corresponding crew member. Since the location is automatically recorded, it becomes easier to manage the rest time of the crew. That is, it is possible to easily identify whether each crew member has started the next work after a rest time of 8 hours or more has elapsed after the end of work.

  In addition, although the onboard equipment 10 shown in FIG. 3 has acquired the positional information on the boarding / alighting point of a passenger from the non-volatile memory 18, it can also be changed so as to be acquired from the office PC 40 via a communication line. It is.
