Description

  The present invention relates to a taxi allocation management system, a taxi allocation management device, and a taxi allocation management program for distributing a taxi to a user who wishes to allocate a taxi.

  Conventionally, taxi dispatch management systems include a system that uses a radio base station that communicates wirelessly with a taxi mobile radio station, and a system that uses a network dispatch application. A system using a radio base station requires a large cost for setting up radio equipment. In addition, in the system based on the vehicle allocation application, there are a system for one taxi operator and a system for a plurality of taxi operators that can arbitrarily select a taxi company from a plurality of taxi companies. In the former, not only companies with a small number of taxi holdings, but also companies with a relatively large number of taxi holdings, there are few taxi options in one company, and taxis can be quickly and efficiently satisfied to satisfy the user's wishes. It was difficult to dispatch. In the latter, multiple taxi companies are not operated on one system, but one of the taxi companies is selected when the application is started. There was a similar problem. In addition, in order to make an application in which a plurality of taxi companies join and operate on one system, the application design becomes complicated and expensive, and as a result, the membership fee for the system becomes high, and it is not practical.

  In a system based on a vehicle allocation application, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a vehicle allocation management system that can flexibly select a taxi to be allocated according to whether or not a taxi can be allocated. The system includes a user terminal, an in-vehicle terminal, and a dispatch management device connected to a network. The dispatch management device receives the position information from the in-vehicle terminal and stores it in a storage unit. When receiving location information and a vehicle allocation request, based on the user location information and the taxi location information stored in the storage unit, a plurality of taxi candidates are selected from a plurality of taxis, and the selected vehicle allocation candidates Is sent to the user terminal, a request for confirming whether or not to dispatch can be transmitted to the in-vehicle terminal in the allocation candidate designated by the user terminal, the taxi to be dispatched is determined according to the response from the in-vehicle terminal, and the user terminal The fact that the dispatch target has been determined is transmitted, and the user position information is transmitted to the in-vehicle terminal.

JP, 2015-204005, A

  In the system shown in Patent Document 1 above, the taxi business must be a business licensed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. It is necessary to obtain permission, and in order to make this application used by a taxi company other than its own company, it is obliged to clarify the charge for the application usage fee to the company. This system is not intended for a plurality of operators, but is intended for a single operator because it has not been realized. Further, since this system includes both the GPS function of the user terminal and the GPS function of the taxi, the program becomes complicated and the application design cost increases.

  If the system of Patent Document 1 is configured so that a plurality of operators operate on one application, the following problems arise. (A) Although a plurality of candidate vehicle information is provided from the vehicle allocation management device to the user terminal, when a plurality of vehicles are designated by the user's intention and the information is transmitted to the vehicle allocation management device, the vehicle is allocated from the designated vehicles The management device confirms whether or not dispatch is possible, and determines the dispatch vehicle based on the result. Therefore, it is not the user but the vehicle allocation management device that actually determines the vehicle, and there is a difficulty in fairness. (B) If the cost bill is borne by the beneficiary, all information is routed to the dispatch management device that is the app operating entity, but the other affiliated operators do not have clear information about the operation, and the affiliated operator It is necessary to grasp the number of times the application is used and the sales using Abri from the daily report of the business vehicle. In other words, since the application management entity and the member company have not acquired the same information, the management information is not transparent and it is difficult to charge an appropriate cost. As described above, the above system is intended for a single business operator, and it is difficult for a plurality of taxi operators to join.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and it is possible to simplify application design and reduce costs while a single application operating entity is operated by a plurality of operators on the same application connected to the network. Therefore, another taxi operator can join at a low price as an app user, and the user's decision information reaches the terminal of the vehicle terminal, taxi operator terminal and the app operator, and the app operator and affiliate business To provide a taxi dispatch management system, taxi dispatch management device, and taxi dispatch management program that enables the person to acquire the same information, maintain fairness and transparency of the information, and make an appropriate expense claim And

  Hereinafter, a taxi dispatch management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an overall configuration of a taxi dispatch management system according to an embodiment. The vehicle allocation management system 100 includes a user terminal 101, taxi mobile terminals 104, 105, 106,..., An application management server 103, and a taxi operator terminal 110, which can be connected to a communication network 102 including the Internet. . The vehicle allocation management system 100 is a computer system that provides a vehicle allocation service in response to a taxi allocation request from the user via the communication network 102, and is a taxi allocation management stored in the application management server 103 that is a Web server (computer). Operates based on the program.

  The user terminal 101 is a personal digital assistant (PDA) including a mobile phone, a smart phone, and the like possessed by the user. A user who intends to use this system accesses the application management server 103 from the user terminal 101 in advance and installs an application program (a vehicle dispatch application) in the user terminal 101. Although only one user terminal 101 is shown in the figure, it is assumed that there are many users. In order to use the vehicle dispatch application, the user terminal 101 does not have to be a model that can use the GPS function, and only needs to be able to transmit and receive at least electronic mail such as Web mail. In the case of a mobile terminal that can use the GPS function, the current location may be acquired using the GPS satellite 121 used in the mobile terminal and used.

  The application management server 103 is a taxi dispatch management device that is the core of the dispatch management system 100, is configured by a computer, and is under the management of a business operator that is the operating entity of the system. This company may be a taxi company. The application management server 103 includes a system controller 103a and databases such as user management data 103b and taxi mobile terminal management data 103c.

  There are many taxi mobile terminals 104, 105, and 106, which are each mounted on a taxi vehicle and are personal digital assistants (PDAs) such as tablets having a mobile router function, and are appropriately operated by taxi crews. The taxi mobile terminal 104 and the like can use the GPS function of the GPS satellite 122 in which many taxi operators participate. The GPS satellite 122 is different from the GPS satellite 121 used in the mobile terminal. The taxi mobile terminal 104 and the like are not limited to those belonging to the business operator that operates the system, but may belong to any of a plurality of different taxi business operators that are members of the system.

  There may be a plurality of taxi operator terminals 110, which are computers placed under the control of a taxi operator who owns a taxi vehicle equipped with a taxi mobile terminal 104 or the like. The taxi operator may be the same as the operator that operates the system, or may be another taxi operator that is a member of the vehicle allocation management system 100.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2 thru | or FIG. 5, the flow of operation when a user operates the user terminal 101 and makes a vehicle allocation request | requirement is demonstrated. It is assumed that a vehicle dispatch application is installed in the user terminal 101 (details of installation will be described later). When the vehicle allocation application of the user terminal 101 is activated, as shown in FIG. 2A, the terminal screen displays a taxi selection range information as a taxi selection range information within a radius of 500 m or 800 m from the current location, as shown in FIG. Display within 1200 m and 1500 m. If the radius range is expanded, the number of taxi cars that can be called increases and the options increase. The current location in this example is taxi pick-up request location information, which is information acquired by the GPS function of the user terminal 101. However, the present location is not limited to this example, and taxi pick-up request location information may be input and transmitted by e-mail. .

  When one of the ranges is selected by operating the user terminal 101, the user terminal 101 is connected to the application management server 103 via the communication network 102, and the application management server 103 automatically selects from mobile terminal information that is always registered and held. The user selects all taxis that can be dispatched within the selected range, and notifies the user terminal 101 of the taxi information results. When the user terminal 101 is selected within 500 m, for example, a result as shown in FIG. 2B is displayed, and when within 1200 m is selected, a plurality of candidates as shown in FIG. Is displayed. Candidate taxi information displayed on the screen may include a selected taxi company, a fare system, a vehicle type, a promotional text, and the like. The user can make an accurate taxi dispatch request with reference to this information.

  When the user looks at the reception information result displayed on the screen of the user terminal 101 and selects a favorite taxi, if the user selects it, as shown in FIG. 103, the corresponding taxi mobile terminal 104 and the taxi operator terminal 110 are broadcast. Here, the taxi crew of the taxi mobile terminal 104 transmits the information on whether to accept the vehicle to the user terminal 101, the application management server 103, and the taxi operator terminal 110. When the vehicle can be picked up, the application management server 103 transmits the user's position (taxi pick-up request location) information to the taxi operator terminal 110. The taxi crew member of the taxi mobile terminal 104 operates the taxi mobile terminal 104 and sends it back to the user terminal 101, and travels to the user's location information point using the vehicle-mounted navigation. Navigation may be provided in the taxi mobile terminal 104.

  On the screen of the user terminal 101, an acceptance notification from the taxi mobile terminal 104 is displayed as shown in FIG. When the taxi arrives at the user's position and the user gets in the taxi, the user terminal 101 notifies the application management server 103 and the taxi operator terminal 110 of the boarding completion information, that is, broadcast transmission.

  When the taxi arrives at the destination, the user evaluates the service, quality, etc. of the crew of the taxi, and from the user terminal 101, as shown in FIG. The application management server 103 and the taxi company terminal 110 are notified. Based on this notification information, the operator of the application management server 103 requests that the taxi operator of the taxi operator terminal 110 has a business improvement point. The person can instruct the crew as necessary.

  As described above, the vehicle dispatch service is performed by using Abri, and the operator of the application management server 103 charges the taxi operator of the taxi operator terminal 110 for the cost of using the Abri on a regular basis. At that time, since the same information about the number of times of dispatching service and the content is delivered to the application management server 103 and the taxi operator terminal 110, the fairness and transparency of the information is ensured, and the taxi business for the application operator is also provided. It is easy for the person to confirm the contents of the bill, and manpower can be saved and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the cost burden becomes reasonable compared to the conventional application charge request as a ratio to the sales of taxi operators, which has been widely adopted in the dispatching application system of a plurality of companies affiliated type. Further, since the final vehicle allocation decision is made not on the application management company side but on the user side, fairness of vehicle allocation is ensured. In addition, since the vehicle allocation management program is not a system incorporating the GPS function of the user terminal, application design is easy and inexpensive.

  Next, the usage procedure of the dispatch application using the dispatch management program will be described below using the flowchart of FIG. 6 in addition to FIG.

(# 1) The user operates the user terminal 101 to access the application management server 103, inputs taxi pick-up request location information and a desired range, and transmits them (see FIG. 2A).
(# 2) The application management server 103 automatically extracts information on the taxi mobile terminal 104 and the like existing within the desired range, and transmits the information to the user terminal 101 (see FIG. 2B).
(# 3) The user confirms the received information at the user terminal 101. If the desired taxi is found, the process proceeds to # 5. If not found, the process proceeds to # 4 (# 4). The user enlarges the desired range from the user terminal 101, transmits it to the application management server 103, and returns to # 2.
(# 5) The user designates a desired taxi at the user terminal 101, and transmits information on a vehicle allocation request. This information is broadcast to the application management server 103 and the taxi operator terminal 110 such as the taxi mobile terminal 104 (see FIG. 3).
(# 6) The taxi crew transmits intention information indicating whether or not the vehicle can be picked up from the mobile terminal 104 or the like. If the car can be picked up, the process proceeds to # 7, and if the car is not picked up, the process returns to # 2 (also see FIG. 3).
(# 7) The application management server 103 automatically transmits the location information of the user terminal 101 to a taxi mobile terminal that can be picked up.
(# 8) The taxi crew of the taxi mobile terminal proceeds to the requested location of the user terminal 101 using the navigation system. When the taxi arrives at the requested location of the user and the user gets on, the user transmits boarding completion information through the user terminal 101. This information is broadcast to the application management server 103 and the taxi operator terminal 110 (see FIG. 4).
(# 9) The application management server 103 and the taxi company terminal 110 store the completion information as data and end the processing.
Note that the procedure for transmitting the evaluation of the quality of the taxi crew by the user after arrival at the destination shown in FIG. 5 is omitted in FIG.

  Next, a vehicle allocation process using the vehicle allocation management program will be described using the sequence of FIG. As shown in the figure, the application management server 103 includes a system controller (a), a user information database (b), a mobile terminal information database (c), and a result information database (d). The system controller (a) is composed of a server computer. The user information database (b) registers user information transmitted from the user terminal. The mobile terminal information database (c) receives and registers polling information transmitted from the taxi mobile terminal. The result information database (d) registers a vehicle allocation confirmation request from a user terminal, boarding completion information, and information on whether or not to receive a car from a taxi mobile terminal. The taxi operator terminal 110 includes a result information database (E). In this example, the taxi mobile terminals 104, 105,... 109 are included in the data registered by polling in the mobile terminal information database (c) at the time of dispatching the vehicle (1, 4), It is assumed that the vehicle (2, 5) is extracted within 800 m from the request place, and the vehicle (3, 6) is extracted within 1000 m from the request place. Hereinafter, the dispatch procedure will be described.

(App launch)
When the dispatching application is activated, the user terminal 101 accesses the application management server 103 via the communication network 102, makes a version upgrade request, and upgrades the dispatching application of the user terminal 101. Next, a dispatch request from the user terminal 101 will be described in order.

(First dispatch request)
A request location input and a taxi selection request within a range of 500 m are made from the user terminal 101 (see # 1 in FIG. 6). It is sufficient to input the location name by e-mail for the requested location (arrival request location). However, if the user terminal 101 can use the function of the GPS satellite 121 for the portable terminal, the current location information acquired by the function may be used. . In response to the above selection request, the system controller (a) of the application management server 103 makes a vehicle location information confirmation request to the mobile terminal information database (c), asks for the result, and obtains an information result (vehicle 1, 4) is notified to the user terminal 101 (see # 2 in FIG. 6). The information result is taxi information existing in a range desired by the user, and this information includes a taxi operator name, a fee, a vehicle type, and the like. When the user sees the notified result and determines that there is no desired taxi, the user proceeds to the next step. If there is a desired taxi, the process proceeds to vehicle designation (request for vehicle allocation).

(Second dispatch request)
A request location input and a taxi selection request within a range of 800 m are made from the user terminal 101 (see # 3 and # 4 in FIG. 6). Then, in the same manner as described above, the application management server 103 notifies the user terminal 101 of the information result (vehicles 1, 2, 4, 5).

(First vehicle designation)
Now, assuming that the user likes the vehicle 2, a dispatch confirmation request designating the vehicle 2 is transmitted from the user terminal 101 (see # 5 in FIG. 6). This vehicle allocation confirmation request is broadcast to the taxi mobile terminal 105, the application management server 103, and the taxi operator terminal 110 of the vehicle 2. Here, it is assumed that the crew member of the vehicle 2 has transmitted an incoming / outgoing signal for some reason (see # 6 in FIG. 6). This information is broadcast to the user terminal 101, the application management server 103, and the taxi operator terminal 110. If the vehicle can be picked up, the process proceeds to the completion of the dispatch.

(Vehicle allocation request 3rd time)
The user who has received the refusal to make an incoming call makes a request location input and a taxi selection request within a range of 1000 m from the user terminal 101. Then, the application management server 103 notifies the user terminal 101 of the information result (vehicles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) in the same manner as described above. In this way, if the range is expanded, the number of taxi vehicles that can be called increases and the options of the user increase.

(Vehicle designation second time)
Now, assuming that the user likes the vehicle 6, a dispatch confirmation request designating the vehicle 6 is transmitted from the user terminal 101. This vehicle allocation confirmation request is broadcast to the taxi mobile terminal 109, the application management server 103, and the taxi operator terminal 110 of the vehicle 6. Here, if the crew member of the vehicle 6 transmits the permission to pick up the vehicle, it is determined to dispatch the vehicle, and the information is automatically broadcast to the user terminal 101, the application management server 103, and the taxi company terminal 110. Receiving it, the application management server 103 refers to the user information database (b) and automatically transmits the user position information to the taxi mobile terminal 109 of the vehicle 6 (see # 7 in FIG. 6).

(Vehicle allocation complete)
When the user gets in a taxi, the user terminal 101 broadcasts information about the completion of boarding to the application management server 103 and the taxi company terminal 110 (see # 8 in FIG. 6). The application management server 103 and the taxi operator terminal 110 register and store the boarding completion information in the databases (d) and (E), respectively (see # 9 in FIG. 6). Note that FIG. 7 omits the procedure for transmitting the evaluation of the quality of the taxi crew by the user after arriving at the destination shown in FIG.

  As can be seen from the above-described procedure of the dispatching process, in the dispatching management system 100 according to the present embodiment, (1) the user terminal 101, that is, the user is always in the center of transmission / reception of information, and the dispatching is determined by the user's intention. Can do. In other words, the intention of the app operator is not included in the process of determining a dispatch. (2) Since the application management server 103 and the taxi operator terminal 110 store the dispatching application usage data in real time, the information fairness and transparency can be maintained, and the expense processing request for the usage of the application is clear and clear. Can be done properly. Therefore, it can be a system in which a plurality of taxi operators operate on one application. As a result, it is expected to promote the participation of a large number of taxi operators including individuals or small and medium businesses, and there are many users. It is possible to select a car from among taxis. (3) Since the taxi pick-up request location information transmitted from the user terminal is a system that suffices to be transmitted by e-mail, for example, the application design can be simplified, the cost can be reduced, and the membership cost of the taxi operator can be reduced.

Next, preparations at various terminals for operating the vehicle allocation management system 100 will be described.
(Taxi operator terminal database download)
FIG. 8 shows a process of downloading the database for the taxi operator terminal 110. A connection request to the application management server 103 is made from the taxi operator terminal 110, and after the connection, a database is downloaded with a Web request for the dispatch application. As a result, the taxi operator terminal 110 can be operated.

(Preparation for taxi mobile terminal app dispatch)
FIG. 9 shows a process of registering mobile terminal information for application dispatch of taxi mobile terminals 104, 105,. Each taxi mobile terminal makes a connection request to the application management server 103 via the communication network 102 and also makes a connection request from the application management server 103. After the connection, each taxi mobile terminal makes a location information request by polling using the GPS satellite 122 and acquires the location information. Each taxi mobile terminal transmits the acquired polling information to the application management server 103. The application management server 103 makes a registration request to the mobile end information database (c) and obtains registration completion.

(Preparing to use the user terminal's dispatch application)
FIG. 10 shows a process of preparing for using the dispatch application of the user terminal 101. The user operates the user terminal 101 to make a connection request to the application management server 103 via the communication network 102. After the connection, the user makes a Web request, downloads and installs the vehicle dispatch application. Further, user information is transmitted from the user terminal 101. The application management server 103 makes a user information registration request to the user information database (b), completes user registration, and notifies the user terminal 101 of user registration completion. As a result, the user terminal 101 can use the vehicle allocation application.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, although only one taxi operator terminal 110 is shown in the above description, there may be a plurality of taxi operator terminals 110. When a plurality of taxi operators jointly perform in one dispatch management system, each taxi operator terminal 110 is provided. What is necessary is just to provide ID with ID.
