[Configuration and basic operation]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a vehicle travel management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  With reference to FIG. 1, the vehicle travel management system 101 includes an in-vehicle device 11, a roadside device 12, and a management device 13.

  The in-vehicle device 11 is mounted on the vehicle 3. The in-vehicle device 11 performs, for example, an automatic traveling process for automatically traveling the vehicle 3 on the road 1.

  The road 1 includes three traveling lanes 2. Hereinafter, each of the three travel lanes 2 is also referred to as travel lanes 2A, 2B, and 2C. The road 1 is not limited to the configuration including the three travel lanes 2, and may be configured to include the two travel lanes 2 or may include four or more travel lanes 2.

  For example, the vehicle 3 automatically travels in any one of the three travel lanes 2 included in the road 1. Specifically, for example, when the in-vehicle device 11 controls the vehicle 3, the vehicle 3 automatically travels along the travel lane 2. The in-vehicle device 11 can cause the vehicle 3 to change lanes, that is, cause the vehicle 3 to change the lane according to the situation.

  On the road 1, a lane speed that is a speed at which the vehicle 3 can travel is defined for each travel lane 2. For example, it is assumed that the lane speed is highest in the traveling lane 2C, next in the traveling lane 2B, and lowest in the traveling lane 2A.

  A toll is set for each of the travel lanes 2. For example, the toll is defined by the amount per unit distance.

  Different travel charges are set for the traveling lanes 2A, 2B, and 2C. Specifically, for example, a higher toll is set for a traveling lane 2 with a higher lane speed than for a traveling lane 2 with a lower lane speed. Therefore, the toll is highest in the travel lane 2C, next in the travel lane 2B, and lowest in the travel lane 2A. In addition, some tolls in the traveling lanes 2A, 2B, 2C may be free.

  The roadside machine 12 is installed on the roadside of the road 1, for example. The management device 13 communicates with the in-vehicle device 11 mounted on the vehicle 3 via the roadside device 12.

  FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing a part of the automatic traveling process of the vehicle in the vehicle traveling management system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  Each device in the vehicle travel management system 101 includes a computer, and an arithmetic processing unit such as a CPU in the computer reads and executes a program including a part or all of each step of the following sequence from a memory (not shown). Each of the programs of the plurality of apparatuses can be installed from the outside. The programs of the plurality of apparatuses are distributed while being stored in a recording medium.

  With reference to FIG. 2, first, the in-vehicle device 11 receives an operation from a passenger of the vehicle 3 (step S <b> 12). Specifically, the in-vehicle device 11 receives an input of a desired travel speed S that is a travel speed of the vehicle 3 desired by the passenger and an allowable cost T that is a cost required for the passenger to pass through the road 1.

  The passenger inputs the desired travel speed S and the allowable cost T to the in-vehicle device 11 before entering the road 1 from a road other than the road 1 or while traveling on the road 1. For example, the passenger inputs a high speed as the desired travel speed S when he / she wants to arrive at the destination in a hurry. On the other hand, the passenger inputs a low speed as the desired travel speed S when there is no need to rush, for example, when he / she wants to travel while enjoying the surrounding scenery.

  Next, when receiving the input of the desired traveling speed S and the allowable cost T, the in-vehicle device 11 transmits an information request R to the management device 13 via the roadside device 12 (step S14). The information request R includes, for example, position information of the vehicle 3.

  Next, when the management device 13 receives the information request R from the in-vehicle device 11, based on the position information included in the information request R, the vehicle 3 is scheduled to enter the road 1 or is traveling on the road 1. Recognize that. And the management apparatus 13 transmits the lane speed information which shows a lane speed, and the charge information which shows a toll about each of the some driving | running | working lanes 2 contained in the road 1 to the vehicle-mounted apparatus 11 (step S16).

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of lane speed information in the vehicle travel management system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 3, the lane speed information L1 indicates the lane speed corresponding to each of the traveling lanes 2A, 2B, 2C. Specifically, the lane speed of the traveling lane 2A is 30 km / h to 40 km / h, the lane speed of the traveling lane 2B is 40 km / h to 50 km / h, and the lane speed of the traveling lane 2C is 50 km / h to 60 km / h.

  Thus, the lane speed has a certain range. In the lane speed information, the lane speed range differs between the traveling lanes 2.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of fee information in the vehicle travel management system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  With reference to FIG. 4, the toll information L2 indicates the toll per 1 km corresponding to each of the travel lanes 2A, 2B, and 2C. Specifically, the toll for travel lane 2A is 10 yen per km, the toll for travel lane 2B is 20 yen per km, and the toll for travel lane 2C is 30 yen per km.

  As described above, in the toll information, the toll differs between the traveling lanes 2. Specifically, a higher toll is set for the driving lane 2 having a higher lane speed. The toll for the traveling lane 2A having the lowest lane speed may be free, for example. Further, for example, when the lane speed of the travel lane 2 is changed, the toll charge of the corresponding travel lane 2 may be changed.

  Referring to FIG. 2 again, when in-vehicle device 11 receives lane speed information and fee information from management device 13, for example, the in-vehicle device 11 performs processing to display the contents of the received lane speed information and fee information on a monitor in vehicle 3. (Step S18). Moreover, the vehicle-mounted apparatus 11 determines the driving | running | working lane 2 which the vehicle 3 should drive | work based on these received information (step S20).

  Specifically, for example, the in-vehicle device 11 causes the vehicle 3 to travel within the allowable cost T so that the vehicle 3 can travel as long as possible at the desired travel speed S or at a speed close to the desired travel speed S. Determine the driving lane.

  The in-vehicle device 11 is not limited to the configuration that receives the lane speed information and the charge information from the management device 13, and may be a configuration that stores these information in its own storage unit in advance. In this case, the in-vehicle device 11 determines a driving lane using these pieces of information acquired from the storage unit.

  Next, the in-vehicle device 11 moves the vehicle 3 to the determined travel lane 2 (step S22).

  Next, the in-vehicle device 11 manages the travel lane of the vehicle 3, that is, the travel lane 2 in which the vehicle 3 is traveling, the travel speed in the travel lane 2, and travel information that can determine the travel distance in the travel lane 2. 13 to send.

  Specifically, for example, the in-vehicle device 11 periodically transmits the position information of the vehicle 3 to the management device 13 as the travel information of the vehicle 3 (step S24).

  The management device 13 receives the travel information from the in-vehicle device 11, determines the travel lane 2 on which the vehicle 3 traveled based on the received travel information, the travel speed in the travel lane 2, and the travel lane 2 Calculate the mileage.

  Specifically, for example, the management device 13 periodically receives the position information of the vehicle 3 as the travel information of the vehicle 3, determines the travel lane 2 in which the vehicle 3 traveled from the position information of the vehicle 3, and The travel distance in the travel lane 2 is calculated. In addition, the management device 13 calculates the traveling speed of the vehicle 3 from the travel distance per unit time of the vehicle 3.

  The in-vehicle device 11 may be configured to periodically transmit the position information of the vehicle 3 and the speed information of the vehicle 3 to the management device 13 as travel information of the vehicle 3, for example. In this case, the management device 13 determines the travel lane 2 in which the vehicle 3 has traveled from the position information of the vehicle 3 and calculates the travel distance in the travel lane 2. Further, the management device 13 acquires the traveling speed of the vehicle 3 from the speed information of the vehicle 3.

  Further, the in-vehicle device 11 may be configured to periodically transmit the traveling speed of the vehicle 3 to the management device 13 as the traveling information of the vehicle 3, for example. In this case, the management device 13 acquires the traveling speed of the vehicle 3 from the speed information of the vehicle 3. Further, the management device 13 determines the traveling lane 2 on which the vehicle 3 has traveled based on the traveling speed of the vehicle 3 and the lane speed information stored by itself.

  Specifically, for example, when the management device 13 stores the lane speed information L1 illustrated in FIG. 3 and the traveling speed of the vehicle 3 is 45 km / h, the management device 13 indicates that the vehicle 3 is traveling lanes. It is determined that the vehicle has traveled 2B. Further, the management device 13 calculates the travel distance of the vehicle 3 in the travel lane 2 from the travel speed of the vehicle 3 and the reception interval of travel information.

  The in-vehicle device 11 is configured to periodically transmit the travel information after moving the vehicle 3 to the determined travel lane 2, but is not limited thereto. For example, the in-vehicle device 11 may be configured to periodically transmit travel information when traveling on any travel lane 2 on the road 1.

  Next, the management device 13 updates the lane speed information stored by itself based on the received travel information (step S26).

  Specifically, for example, the management device 13 grasps the actual traveling speed of each vehicle 3 from the traveling information of the plurality of vehicles 3 traveling on the road 1. The management device 13 aggregates the grasped traveling speed of each vehicle 3 for each traveling lane 2 and creates new lane speed information based on the aggregation result. More specifically, for example, the management device 13 creates new lane speed information so that the average value of the traveling speeds of the vehicles 3 in the traveling lane 2 is included in the lane speed range of the traveling lane 2. .

  Since the actual traveling speed in the traveling lane 2 of the vehicle 3 fluctuates in accordance with the degree of congestion of the traveling lane 2, the management device 13 periodically updates the lane speed information based on the latest traveling information, for example. Do.

  When receiving the information request R from the in-vehicle device 11 in the vehicle 3, the management device 13 transmits the latest lane information and fee information to the in-vehicle device 11.

  Next, the management device 13 calculates the toll for the vehicle 3 based on the travel information for the vehicle 3 received from the in-vehicle device 11 and the toll information stored by itself (step S28). Specifically, the management device 13 calculates the product of the travel distance in the travel lane 2 of the vehicle 3 and the toll per unit distance corresponding to the travel lane 2 as the toll of the vehicle 3. When the vehicle 3 travels in a plurality of travel lanes 2 due to the lane change, the management device 13 calculates a toll for each travel lane 2.

  The management device 13 transmits billing fee information indicating the calculated toll to the in-vehicle device 11 (step S30).

  The in-vehicle device 11 receives the billing fee information from the management device 13, and displays the content of the received billing fee information on the monitor in the vehicle 3 (step S32).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the configuration of the in-vehicle device in the vehicle travel management system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 5, the in-vehicle device 11 includes an operation unit 20, an acquisition unit 21, a processing unit (determination unit) 22, a speed measurement unit 23, a positioning unit 24, a transmission unit 25, and a display processing unit. 26 and a travel control unit 27.

  The operation unit 20 is an interface such as a touch panel, for example, and accepts input of a desired traveling speed S and an allowable cost T by the passenger. The desired traveling speed S may be a numerical value indicating the speed, or may be a speed level such as “high”, “medium”, or “low”. Further, the allowable cost T may be a numerical value indicating an amount of money, or may be a level of an amount such as “high”, “medium”, or “low”.

  The operation unit 20 acquires speed input information indicating the input content from the passenger of the vehicle 3 regarding the traveling speed of the vehicle 3 and fee input information indicating the input content from the passenger of the vehicle 3 regarding the toll of the vehicle 3. To the unit 21. Specifically, the operation unit 20 outputs speed input information indicating the desired traveling speed S and fee input information indicating the allowable cost T to the acquisition unit 21.

  The acquisition unit 21 outputs the speed input information and fee input information acquired from the operation unit 20 to the processing unit 22.

  When receiving the speed input information and the charge input information from the acquisition unit 21, the processing unit 22 outputs an information request R for requesting the lane speed information and the charge information to the management device 13 to the transmission unit 25.

  The transmission unit 25 transmits the information request R received from the processing unit 22 to the management apparatus 13 via the roadside device 12.

  The acquisition unit 21 acquires the lane speed information related to the lane speed for each traveling lane 2 and the toll information about the toll for each traveling lane 2 transmitted from the management device 13, and the acquired lane speed information and the toll information are processing units 22 to output.

  The processing unit 22 creates screen information for displaying the contents of the lane speed information and the charge information received from the acquisition unit 21 on the monitor in the vehicle 3, and outputs the created screen information to the display processing unit 26.
