(Knowledge that became the basis of this disclosure)
In recent years, research and development of self-driving cars have become active, and the spread of self-driving cars has been gradually progressing. Self-driving vehicles include a fully automatic driving vehicle that does not require any manual driving by a driver and a semi-automatic driving vehicle that switches between manual driving and automatic driving by a driver as necessary. In the case of a semi-automatic driving vehicle, it is necessary to switch to manual driving as necessary, so the driver needs to get on, whereas in the case of a fully automatic driving vehicle, it is not necessary to switch to manual driving. There is no need to board. Therefore, for example, when a fully automatic driving vehicle is applied in the delivery business of goods or people, it is not necessary for the driver to get on, so it is possible to reduce the labor cost required for the driver and to reduce the cost. It becomes possible to perform delivery work.

  From this, it is expected that delivery companies will introduce fully automatic driving vehicles (hereinafter also referred to as “unmanned vehicles”) in the future. Here, the delivery company means a courier company delivering goods and a taxi company delivering people. When an existing delivery company introduces unmanned vehicles, from the viewpoint of introduction cost and maintenance of the quality of existing services, gradually replace the vehicles driven by existing drivers (hereinafter also referred to as “driver vehicles”) with unmanned vehicles. It is expected to go. Therefore, the delivery company performs delivery work in a situation where two types of vehicles, ie, driver vehicles and unmanned vehicles, coexist until all driver vehicles are replaced with unmanned vehicles.

  As described above, in the case of an unmanned vehicle, the labor cost required for the driver can be reduced, and the delivery operation can be performed at a lower cost. Therefore, it is possible to provide a delivery service for a user who uses a delivery company at a lower charge. For example, in the case of a taxi, unmanned vehicles can provide services at a lower price than driver vehicles even when traveling on the same route from the user's boarding position to the getting-off position.

  In a situation where the driver vehicle and the unmanned vehicle coexist, it is possible to use a different fee structure for the driver vehicle and the unmanned vehicle (here, the fee structure for the unmanned vehicle is cheaper than the driver vehicle fee). . In such a situation, unmanned vehicles may be more advantageous (cheap) in terms of tolls, whereas driver vehicles may be more advantageous (shorter) in terms of arrival times. . For this reason, vehicle allocation candidate vehicles suitable for the delivery operation are selected for each vehicle group (here, the driver vehicle group and the unmanned vehicle group) with different fee systems, and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group is presented to the user. There is a need for a vehicle allocation system in which a user selects a vehicle that matches his request from the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles for each vehicle group presented.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, a taxi fare introduction host computer is searched from a host computer of a plurality of taxi companies based on a search request including a user's boarding point and destination, The search result including the taxi arrival time and the required boarding time to the destination is transmitted to the user-side portable information terminal device, and the user-side portable information terminal device displays the received search result and makes a taxi reservation.

  However, in Patent Document 1, for each of a plurality of taxi companies, a search result including a taxi use fee, an arrival waiting time until the taxi arrives at the boarding point, and a required boarding time from the boarding point to the destination point is displayed. . Therefore, it is necessary for the user to always select a taxi that meets his / her conditions from a plurality of displayed search results, and there is a problem that the process of selecting this taxi is a burden on the user. .

  On the other hand, when a search result of only a taxi company specified in advance by a user among a plurality of taxi companies is displayed, there is a possibility that a taxi that meets the conditions of the user cannot be selected.

  In order to solve the above problems, a vehicle allocation support method according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a vehicle allocation support method in a vehicle allocation support device that allocates a vehicle to a user, and the location of a vehicle allocation destination to which the vehicle is allocated is determined.

  In the present embodiment, the management device 1 corresponds to an example of a vehicle allocation support device, the vehicle information storage unit 133 corresponds to an example of a vehicle information storage unit, and the vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121 corresponds to an example of a vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit. The vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information acquisition unit 122 corresponds to an example of a vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information acquisition unit, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123 corresponds to an example of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit, and display information generation The unit 124 corresponds to an example of a presentation information generation unit, and the display information transmission unit 125 corresponds to an example of a presentation information transmission unit.

  Next, the configuration of the user terminal 2 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a user terminal according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. The user terminal 2 includes a communication unit 21, a display unit 22, an input unit 23, a control unit 24, and a storage unit 25.

  The communication unit 21 transmits vehicle allocation request information and vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information to the management device 1, and receives display information from the management device 1 for assisting the user in determining the vehicle allocation vehicle. The communication unit 21 transmits / receives information to / from an external device such as the management device 1. The communication unit 21 transmits and receives information via the network 4 such as WAN, LAN, and the Internet.

  The display unit 22 is, for example, a liquid crystal display or the like, and displays an input screen for inputting vehicle allocation request information and vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information, and supports the determination of a vehicle to be allocated by a user received from the management device 1. Or display information to do so.

  The input unit 23 is, for example, a keyboard or a mouse, and accepts an input operation by a user. The user inputs information to the user terminal 2 via the input unit 23. In addition, the display part 22 and the input part 23 may be comprised integrally like the touch panel of a smart phone. In this case, the user inputs information by touching the touch panel of the display unit 22. The user inputs vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information for identifying the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group to which the vehicle that the user desires to allocate belongs via the input unit 23. Further, the user inputs a boarding position where the user gets on and a boarding position where the user gets off, which are included in the dispatch request information, via the input unit 23. In addition, when display information for presenting a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation request information to the user is received from the management device 1 and displayed, the input unit 23 receives a selection by the user of the vehicle that desires the vehicle allocation.

  An example in which the user selects a desired vehicle allocation vehicle group to which a vehicle desired to be allocated belongs from the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group input screen displayed on the display unit 22 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a vehicle allocation desired vehicle group input screen displayed on the display unit in order to input vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. On the vehicle allocation request vehicle group input screen, the user selects, for example, one of the first vehicle group to which the unmanned vehicle belongs and the second vehicle group to which the driver vehicle belongs. FIG. 7 shows an example in which the user selects the second vehicle group to which the driver vehicle belongs.

  An example in which the user inputs the boarding position and the getting-off position from the vehicle allocation request input screen displayed on the display unit 22 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a dispatch request input screen displayed on the display unit for inputting dispatch request information. FIG. 9 shows a dispatch request displayed on the display unit for inputting dispatch request information. It is a figure which shows the other example of an input screen.

  In the dispatch request input screen shown in FIG. 8, a map for inputting the boarding position and the getting-off position is displayed. The user inputs the boarding position and the getting-off position by designating the boarding position and the getting-off position on the map displayed on the display unit 22.

  On the other hand, in the dispatch request input screen shown in FIG. 9, an input field for inputting the boarding position and the getting-off position is displayed. The user inputs the boarding position and the getting-off position by inputting an address in the entry field of the boarding position and the getting-off position displayed on the display unit 22.

  The dispatch request information including the boarding position and the getting-off position input by the input unit 23 is transmitted to the management device 1 by the communication unit 21. If the management apparatus 1 manages the information input in different forms as shown in FIG. 8 or 9 as it is, the management process 1 becomes complicated. Therefore, the management apparatus 1 may manage the input information after unifying it. For example, the management device 1 may manage the boarding position information and the getting-off position information represented by the longitude and the latitude by converting the transmitted boarding position information and the getting-off position information into an expression using longitude and latitude. As another example, the user terminal 2 converts the boarding position information and the getting-off position information input from the input unit 23 into an expression using longitude and latitude, and includes the converted boarding position information and getting-off position information. The vehicle allocation request information may be transmitted to the management device 1. The boarding position and the getting-off position may be input via a dedicated application for making a vehicle allocation request, or may be performed via a dedicated WEB page for making a vehicle allocation request.

  The control unit 24 is, for example, a CPU, and performs processing related to various controls of the user terminal 2.

  The storage unit 25 is, for example, a semiconductor memory or the like, and stores various information such as an application for making a vehicle allocation request, information acquired from the management device 1 and information input from a user. Further, the storage unit 25 stores address information of the management device 1 in order to transmit the allocation request information and the desired vehicle allocation vehicle group identification information to the management device 1. The address information may be acquired from, for example, a dedicated application for transmitting the vehicle allocation request information provided by the management device 1, or when a dedicated web page for transmitting the vehicle allocation request information is provided. You may acquire from the WEB page. In addition, the acquisition method of the address information of the management apparatus 1 is not limited to these methods, You may acquire using another method.

  In the present embodiment, the communication unit 21 corresponds to an example of a transmission unit and a reception unit, and the display unit 22 corresponds to an example of a presentation unit.

  Next, the management device 1 dispatches the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group specified in advance by the user and the vehicle allocation of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group based on the determination result of whether or not a predetermined display information generation condition is satisfied. With respect to the vehicle allocation support method for presenting to the user either information regarding each candidate vehicle and information regarding only the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group specified in advance by the user, using the flowchart of FIG. This will be described in detail.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the dispatching support process of the management device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

  First, the dispatch request information acquisition unit 121 includes at least user identification information for identifying a user, boarding position information indicating a boarding position at which the user gets on the dispatched vehicle, and a user getting off from the dispatching vehicle. The allocation request information including the getting-off position information indicating the position is acquired from the user terminal 2 (step S1). The vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121 acquires vehicle allocation request information via the communication unit 11. The dispatch request information acquisition unit 121 stores the acquired dispatch request information in the dispatch request information storage unit 131 of the storage unit 13.

  Next, the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information acquisition unit 122 acquires vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information for identifying the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group to which the vehicle that the user desires to allocate belongs from the user terminal 2 (step S2). The vehicle allocation request information may include vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information, and the vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information acquisition unit 122 extracts the vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information from the vehicle allocation request information acquired from the user terminal 2. The vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information may be acquired. Further, the vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information acquisition unit 122 may acquire the vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information from the user terminal before the vehicle allocation request information is acquired. The vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information acquisition unit 122 acquires vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information via the communication unit 11.

  Next, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123 uses the predetermined vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm from the vehicle information stored in the vehicle information storage unit 133 to determine a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal for the vehicle allocation request information for each vehicle group. Determine (step S3).

  Here, the vehicle information managed by the management device 1 includes vehicle identification information for identifying the vehicle, vehicle group identification information indicating the vehicle group to which the vehicle belongs, vehicle position information acquired from the vehicle, and at least delivery. It includes vehicle state information that indicates whether the vehicle is in the middle. The allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm is stored in advance in the control program storage unit 136.

  The allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm may be an arbitrary algorithm as long as the allocation candidate vehicle for the allocation request information can be determined. As an example of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123 determines, for example, a vehicle that is present at a position closest to the boarding position included in the vehicle allocation request information among vehicles belonging to the vehicle group as a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. .

  Further, as another example of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123 may determine, as a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle, a vehicle with the lowest required fee among vehicles belonging to the vehicle group. Further, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123 may determine a vehicle that arrives at the boarding position in the shortest time among the vehicles belonging to the vehicle group as the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. The control program storage unit 136 stores a plurality of vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithms in advance, and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123 selects a predetermined condition or a manager's preference from the plurality of vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithms. Thus, one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm may be selected.

  Next, the display information generation unit 124 determines whether or not a predetermined display information generation condition is satisfied (step S4). In this case, the predetermined display information generation condition refers to a predetermined allocation in which a vehicle to which a vehicle that the user does not want to dispatch belongs to a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. This is a condition for determining whether or not the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the desired vehicle group is more suitable for the user. In addition, the predetermined display information generation condition includes a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information, and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group to which a vehicle to which the user does not desire vehicle allocation belongs. It may be a condition for determining whether or not the user desires to select a dispatch vehicle from among the above. An example of the display information generation condition will be described later in detail.

  In step S4, when it is determined that the predetermined display information generation condition is satisfied (YES in step S4), the display information generation unit 124 determines the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. Then, the display information about the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group to which the vehicle that the user does not wish to allocate is generated (step S5).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S4 that the predetermined display information generation condition is not satisfied (NO in step S4), the display information generation unit 124 is a vehicle allocation candidate for the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. Display information relating only to the vehicle is generated (step S6).

  The generated display information includes at least vehicle type information. Further, the display information may include, for example, vehicle group identification information, required fee, required time, or route as information other than the vehicle type information.

  Next, the display information transmission unit 125 transmits the display information generated by the display information generation unit 124 to the user terminal 2 (step S7).

  In step S5 in FIG. 10, the display information generation unit 124 assigns a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle desired vehicle group identification information and a vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group to which a vehicle that the user does not desire to distribute belongs. Display information related to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is generated. At this time, the control unit 12 displays a selection history indicating which of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is selected by the user, the positional information of the user, The information may be stored in association with at least one of vehicle use time, weather information, user sex, and user age. Then, after the storage unit 12 accumulates a predetermined amount of the stored selection history information, the user does not want to dispatch when the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group are presented. Conditions that increase the possibility of selecting a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle group may be extracted by machine learning. Then, only when the extracted conditions are met, the display information generation unit 124 may present a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group. As a result, only when there is a high possibility that the user needs information on the candidate vehicle allocation for the undesired vehicle group, the information on the candidate vehicle allocation for the undesired vehicle group is presented to the user. Information can be provided to users.

  With the above configuration, when there are a plurality of different vehicle groups and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is presented to the user, the user's burden of always selecting the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle can be reduced, and the user can dispatch the vehicle. Only when it is estimated that selection of a candidate vehicle is desired, information regarding each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group can be displayed.

  In the following modified example, a predetermined display information generation condition used for the determination process by the display information generation unit 124 will be described in detail.

<Modification 1>
In the first modification of the present embodiment, as the predetermined display information generation condition, the allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is determined from the required time of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. The case where the condition that the required time is more suitable (short) for the user will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the management device according to the first modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure. 11, elements similar to those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  A management device 1A shown in FIG. 11 differs from the management device 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control unit 12A and a storage unit 13A.

  The control unit 12A differs from the control unit 12 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a display information generation unit 124A and a required time calculation unit 126A.

  The required time calculation unit 126A moves the first allocation candidate vehicle and the second allocation candidate vehicle to each of the first allocation candidate vehicle and the second allocation candidate vehicle based on a predetermined required time calculation rule. The time required to do this is calculated. The predetermined required time calculation rule may be stored in advance in the control program storage unit 136A or may be acquired from the outside.

  The required time calculation unit 126A calculates the required time based on a predetermined required time calculation rule for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123. The predetermined required time calculation rule is stored in advance in the control program storage unit 136A.

  As an example of the required time calculation rule, the required time calculation unit 126A generates a route from the current position of the allocation candidate vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets on the allocation vehicle, and the vehicle moves the distance of the generated route. The required time is calculated by dividing by the running speed. In the case of this required time calculation rule, the required time is the travel time for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to move from the current position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets on the vehicle allocation vehicle. Note that the traveling speed at which the vehicle moves is determined based on, for example, the legal speed of the road used as a route. The legal speed of each road is included in the map information in advance and acquired from the map information, for example. When the legal speed differs for each road used as a route, it is preferable to calculate the required time by changing the legal speed used for each road. Further, since the vehicle cannot always travel at the legal speed due to a signal or traffic jam, it is preferable to determine the travel speed in consideration of traffic information such as the signal or traffic jam. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the difference between the required time calculated by applying the required time calculation rule and the actual required time.

  As another example of the required time calculation rule, the storage unit 13A stores a past travel history of the vehicle, and the required time calculation unit 126A gets off the boarding position in the dispatch request from the travel history. The travel history of the route to the position may be extracted, and the travel time from the boarding position to the getting-off position may be calculated as the required time from the extracted travel history. In the case of this configuration, it is desirable not to simply extract the travel history of the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position in the vehicle allocation request, but to extract the travel history narrowed down by conditions such as the time zone of travel or the vehicle type. With this configuration, it is possible to determine the required time with higher accuracy. In the case of this configuration, since it is the required time actually traveled in the past, it is considered that the deviation from the actual required time is small. However, when this configuration is used, a travel history of the vehicle is required in advance. Therefore, this required time calculation rule may be applied when there is a travel history of the vehicle, and another required time calculation rule may be applied when there is no travel history of the vehicle.

  Further, as another example of the required time calculation rule, the required time calculation unit 126A causes the user to get off the dispatch vehicle from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle via the boarding position at which the user gets on the dispatch vehicle. A route to the getting-off position is generated, and the required time is calculated by dividing the distance of the generated route by the traveling speed at which the vehicle moves. In the case of this required time calculation rule, the required time is determined as the unloading position where the user gets off the dispatch vehicle from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle via the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle. Travel time to move to.

  As the required time calculation rule, other required time calculation rules may be used as long as the required time can be calculated.

  In the above example, the required time is the travel time from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle, that is, the dispatch vehicle from the current position. Waiting time until arrival at the boarding position, travel time until the candidate vehicle is moved from the boarding position where the user gets on the boarding vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets off the boarding vehicle, that is, the dispatching vehicle The ride time from the boarding position until it arrives at the drop-off position, or the user can get off the dispatch vehicle from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle via the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle. It has been explained that there are three types of travel time to move to the unloading position, that is, total travel time until the dispatched vehicle arrives at the unloading position from the current position. It may be.

  The required time calculation unit 126A may calculate a plurality of required times. This is because the calculated required time may be information used to determine the dispatch vehicle from the temporal aspect when determining the dispatch vehicle. When a user selects a dispatch vehicle in terms of time, it is different depending on the user whether the waiting time until the dispatch vehicle arrives at the boarding position, the boarding time, or the total travel time. Therefore, it is preferable that the user can set which time is important. With this configuration, it is possible to calculate temporal information according to the user's wishes.

  The display information generation unit 124A determines whether or not a predetermined display information generation condition is satisfied. At this time, the predetermined display information generation condition is a condition that the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group is shorter than the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group.

  That is, the display information generation unit 124A determines whether or not the required time for the allocation candidate vehicle in the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the required time of the allocation candidate vehicle in the desired allocation group. If it is determined that the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is shorter than the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group, the display information generation unit 124A requests vehicle allocation indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. Display information about each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is generated. If it is determined that the required time for the candidate vehicle for the undesired vehicle group is not shorter than the required time for the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group, the display information generating unit 124A indicates the desired vehicle group identification information for the desired vehicle allocation. Display information relating only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group.

  The storage unit 13A is different from the storage unit 13 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control program storage unit 136A.

  The control program storage unit 136A stores a program for controlling each unit of the control unit 12A. In the first modification of the present embodiment, the control program storage unit 136A also stores control programs for the display information generation unit 124A and the required time calculation unit 126A. The control program of the required time calculation unit 126A includes information on a predetermined required time calculation rule for calculating the required time for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group.

  In the first modification of the present embodiment, the management device 1A corresponds to an example of a dispatching support device, the display information generation unit 124A corresponds to an example of a presentation information generation unit, and the required time calculation unit 126A calculates a required time. It corresponds to an example of a part.

  Next, the management apparatus 1A configured as described above determines the required time of the allocation candidate vehicle of the undesired vehicle group from the required time of the allocation candidate vehicle of the allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the allocation desired vehicle group identification information. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of a vehicle dispatching support process for determining whether or not the display information generation condition that is shorter is satisfied, generating display information based on the determination result, and transmitting the generated display information to the user terminal. It explains using.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart for describing the vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the first modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in steps S11 to S13 and steps S16 to S18 shown in FIG. 12 are the same as the processes in steps S1 to S3 and steps S5 to S7 shown in FIG.

  When a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group is determined in step S13, the required time calculation unit 126A calculates a required time for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123 based on a predetermined required time calculation rule. Calculate (step S14).

  Next, the display information generation unit 124A determines whether or not the required time for both candidate vehicles in the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the required time in the candidate vehicle group in the desired vehicle group indicated in the desired vehicle group identification information. Determination is made (step S15). That is, the display information generation unit 124A is more suitable for the user than the required time of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. It is determined whether or not.

  If it is determined in step S15 that the time required for both candidates for allocation in the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the required time for allocation candidates in the desired vehicle group (YES in step S15), the display information generation unit 124A Generates display information on each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group (step S16).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S15 that the time required for both candidates for allocation in the undesired vehicle group is not shorter than the required time for allocation candidates in the desired vehicle group (NO in step S15), the display information 124 A of production | generation parts produce | generate the display information regarding only the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation desired vehicle group (step S17).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen that displays display information regarding each of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group according to the first modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen that displays display information related only to a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group in the first modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The display information generation unit 124A generates the display information illustrated in FIG. 13 when it is determined that the time required for both candidates for allocation in the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the required time for the allocation candidate vehicle in the desired allocation group. . The display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 displays the display information generated by the display information generation unit 124A.

  In addition, when the display information generation unit 124A determines that the required time for both of the vehicle allocation candidates in the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is not shorter than the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group, the display information illustrated in FIG. Is generated.

  In the display information of FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the required time represents the arrival waiting time until the vehicle moves from the current position to the boarding position, and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. Is a driver vehicle, and both candidates for dispatch in the undesired vehicle group are unmanned vehicles.

  When the display information generation unit 124A determines that the display information generation condition is satisfied, the display information generation unit 124A generates display information including a reason for presenting information related to a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group.

  In FIG. 13, information on a driver vehicle that is a candidate vehicle for assignment in the desired vehicle group and an unmanned vehicle that is a candidate vehicle for assignment in the undesired vehicle group is displayed, but the reason for presenting information on the unmanned vehicle is also shown. It is displayed. That is, since the time required for the unmanned vehicles in the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the time required for the driver vehicles in the desired vehicle group, the display information generation unit 124A can also dispatch unmanned vehicles that arrive at the boarding position earlier than the driver vehicle. This is displayed as a reason for presenting information on the unmanned vehicle.

  As shown in the display example of FIG. 13, when displaying information related to a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle group (vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group) other than the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group, the reason for displaying the information is also displayed. The person can recognize the reason why a vehicle of a type other than the type of the vehicle specified by himself / herself is displayed, and from what point of view the vehicle is more suitable than the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group. be able to. As a result, the user can select the dispatch vehicle in consideration that the dispatch candidate vehicle of the undesired vehicle group is more preferable than the dispatch candidate vehicle of the dispatch desired vehicle group.

  In addition, the display screen of FIG. 13 displays the required time of each of the driver vehicle that is a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the unmanned vehicle that is a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group. As shown in this display screen, information on the comparison target (here, required time) of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is displayed as the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and It is preferable to display together with vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group. With this configuration, the user can determine the vehicle to be dispatched by comparing the time required for the dispatch candidate vehicle of the desired dispatch vehicle group and the dispatch candidate vehicle of the undesired dispatch vehicle group.

  As described above, only when the required time for the candidate vehicle for the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the required time for the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group, the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group and the Since display information regarding each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the desired vehicle group is presented to the user, the user's burden of always selecting the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle can be reduced, and the user can select the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. Only when it is estimated that the selection is desired, information regarding each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group can be displayed.

  In the first modification of the present embodiment, the predetermined display information generation condition is that the required time of the candidate vehicle for the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the required time of the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group. However, the present disclosure is not particularly limited to this, and the predetermined display information generation condition is a difference obtained by subtracting the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group from the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group. It may be a condition that the time is a predetermined time or more.

  That is, the display information generation unit 124A determines whether or not the difference time obtained by subtracting the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group from the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is a predetermined time or more. May be. When it is determined that the difference time obtained by subtracting the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group from the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, the display information generation unit 124A Display information regarding each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle group identification information may be generated. In addition, when it is determined that the difference time obtained by subtracting the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle undesired vehicle group from the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is shorter than the predetermined time, the display information generation unit 124A Display information relating only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the desired vehicle group identification information may be generated.

  The predetermined time may be an absolute time such as 5 minutes, for example, or may be a time determined according to the required time of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group. For example, the predetermined time may be 10% of the time required for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group. In this case, for example, if the required time of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is 60 minutes, the predetermined time is 6 minutes.

<Modification 2>
In the second modification of the present embodiment, as the predetermined display information generation condition, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is determined from the required fee of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. The case where the condition that the required fee is more suitable (cheaper) for the user will be described.

  FIG. 15 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a management device according to the second modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure. 15, elements similar to those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  A management device 1B shown in FIG. 15 differs from the management device 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control unit 12B and a storage unit 13B.

  The control unit 12B differs from the control unit 12 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a display information generation unit 124B and a required fee calculation unit 126B.

  The required fee calculation unit 126B moves the first vehicle allocation candidate vehicle and the second vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to each of the first vehicle allocation candidate vehicle and the second vehicle allocation candidate vehicle based on predetermined fee structure information. Calculate the required fee required for The predetermined fee structure information may be stored in advance in the fee structure information storage unit 137B or may be acquired from the outside.

  The required fee calculation unit 126B determines the required fee based on the predetermined fee structure information stored in the fee structure information storage unit 137B for each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles for each vehicle group determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123. Calculate the fee. The fee structure information will be described later.

  The display information generation unit 124B determines whether or not a predetermined display information generation condition is satisfied. At this time, the predetermined display information generation condition is a condition that the required fee of the allocation candidate vehicle of the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee of the allocation candidate vehicle of the desired allocation vehicle group.

  That is, the display information generation unit 124A determines whether or not the required fee for the candidate vehicle allocation for the unassigned vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle allocation for the desired vehicle group. If it is determined that the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group, the display information generation unit 124A requests the desired vehicle allocation shown in the desired vehicle group identification information Display information about each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is generated. If it is determined that the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the undesired vehicle group is not lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group, the display information generating unit 124A indicates the desired vehicle group identification information for the desired vehicle allocation. Display information relating only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group.

  The storage unit 13B differs from the storage unit 13 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control program storage unit 136B and a fee structure information storage unit 137B.

  The control program storage unit 136B stores a program for controlling each unit of the control unit 12B. In the second modification of the present embodiment, the control program storage unit 136B also stores control programs for the display information generation unit 124B and the required fee calculation unit 126B.

  The fee structure information storage unit 137B stores fee structure information indicating a fee structure for each vehicle group. The fee structure information storage unit 137B stores the fee structure information used when the required fee calculation unit 126B calculates the required fee for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group. The required fee calculation unit 126B calculates the required fee for the first allocation candidate vehicle belonging to the unmanned vehicle group and the required fee for the second allocation candidate vehicle belonging to the driver vehicle group based on the fee structure information. To do.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of fee structure information stored in the fee structure information storage unit. FIG. 16 shows a fee structure for each of the unmanned vehicle and the driver vehicle. The example shown in FIG. 16 shows a fee system composed of a distance-based fee method and a time-distance combined fee-based fee method. The distance-based fee method is a method of adding a fee according to the travel distance. The time / distance combined fee method is a method in which a fee is added according to the travel distance when the vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined value, and a charge is added according to the travel time when the vehicle speed is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

  Specifically, how the required fee is calculated will be described using an unmanned vehicle as an example. First, as the first boarding fee, it costs 500 yen until the first 2000 m, and then 80 yen is added every 250 m (distance fee system). When the speed is 10 km / h or less, the distance is replaced with time, and 80 yen is added every 1 minute 30 seconds (time-distance combined charge system).

  For example, when the distance-based fare method is used, since a distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position is required, the required fee calculating unit 126B determines the boarding position based on the boarding position information and the getting-off position information included in the dispatching request information. A route from the boarding position to the getting off position is generated, and a distance from the boarding position to the getting off position is calculated based on the generated route. Then, the required fee calculation unit 126B determines the required fee from the boarding position to the getting-off position based on the calculated distance and the fee system information. When the time / distance combined charge method is used, it is necessary to consider time in addition to distance. The fee added depending on the time can be estimated from, for example, a past travel history and a past required fee. The required fee calculation unit 126B adds the fee estimated from the past travel history and the past required fee as a fee due to time.

  Here, the method of estimating the charge added according to time from the past history has been described, but the required charge calculation unit 126B may determine the required charge from the past travel history and the past required charge. In the case of this configuration, the required fee calculation unit 126B does not need to use fee structure information. However, in this configuration, the required fee cannot be determined unless the past history information is sufficiently accumulated. Therefore, only when the past history information is sufficiently accumulated, the required fee calculation unit 126B may determine the required fee from the past travel history and the past required fee. Or you may combine the structure which calculates a required charge using charge structure information, and the structure which determines a required charge based on the past historical information.

  Note that the fee structure information shown in FIG. 16 is an example, and the fee structure information is not limited to the example shown here as long as it is information that can be used when calculating the fee. The fee system information may use, for example, a time-based fee method in which a fee is added according to travel time. The fee structure information may be a method of charging a fee for picking up the vehicle from the current position of the vehicle to the boarding position, or a method of charging a midnight charge that adds a charge further to the normal charge at midnight.

  In the second modification of the present embodiment, the management device 1B corresponds to an example of a dispatching support device, the display information generation unit 124B corresponds to an example of a presentation information generation unit, and the required fee calculation unit 126B calculates a required fee. It corresponds to an example of a part.

  Next, the management apparatus 1B configured as described above determines the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the undesired vehicle group from the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group indicated in the desired vehicle group identification information. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the vehicle allocation support process for determining whether or not the display information generation condition of lower is satisfied, generating display information based on the determination result, and transmitting the generated display information to the user terminal. It explains using.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart for describing the vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the second modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in steps S21 to S23 and steps S26 to S28 shown in FIG. 17 are the same as the processes in steps S1 to S3 and steps S5 to S7 shown in FIG.

  When the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group is determined in step S23, the required fee calculation unit 126B is determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123 based on the predetermined fee system information stored in the fee system information storage unit 137B. The required fee is calculated for each dispatched candidate vehicle (step S24). For example, when the fee structure information is a distance-based fee method in which a fixed amount is added for each distance to determine the fee, the required fee calculation unit 126B uses the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle from the current location of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. Generates a route for the user to travel from the boarding vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets off the vehicle, and calculates the required fee using the generated route distance and fee structure information. To do. In addition, the required fee calculation unit 126B generates a route for the candidate vehicle to move from the boarding position where the user gets on the vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets off from the vehicle, and the distance of the generated route is calculated. The required fee may be calculated using the fee structure information.

  Next, the display information generation unit 124B determines whether or not the required fee for both candidate vehicles for the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle group for the desired vehicle group shown in the desired vehicle group identification information. Determination is made (step S25). In other words, the display information generation unit 124B is more suitable for the user than the required fee for the candidate vehicle allocation of the desired vehicle group to be allocated, as shown in the desired vehicle group identification information. It is determined whether or not.

  In step S25, when it is determined that the required fee for both of the allocation candidates in the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required rate of the allocation candidate vehicle in the desired vehicle allocation group (YES in step S25), the display information generation unit 124B Generates display information on each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles in the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group (step S26).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S25 that the required fee for both the candidate vehicles for the undesired vehicle group is not lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle group for the desired vehicle group (NO in step S25), the display information The generation unit 124B generates display information related only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group (step S27).

  FIG. 18 illustrates an example of a display screen that displays display information regarding each of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group in Modification 2 of the embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen that displays display information related only to a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation request vehicle group in the second modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The display information generation unit 124B generates the display information shown in FIG. 18 when it is determined that the required fee for both the candidate vehicles for the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group. . The display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 displays the display information generated by the display information generation unit 124B.

  Further, when the display information generation unit 124B determines that the required fee for both the candidate vehicles for the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group, the display information shown in FIG. Is generated.

  In the display information of FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, the required fee represents the fee required for the vehicle to move from the boarding position to the getting-off position of the user, and is a candidate for dispatching the desired vehicle group to be allocated shown in the desired vehicle group identification information. The vehicle is a driver vehicle, and both of the dispatch candidates of the undesired vehicle group are unmanned vehicles.

  In FIG. 18, information on a driver vehicle that is a candidate vehicle for allocation in the desired vehicle group and an unmanned vehicle that is a candidate vehicle for allocation in the undesired vehicle group is displayed, but the reason for presenting information on the unmanned vehicle is also shown. It is displayed. That is, since the required fee for the unmanned vehicle in the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the driver vehicle in the desired vehicle group, the display information generation unit 124B can also dispatch unmanned vehicles that are cheaper than the driver vehicle. Is displayed as the reason for presenting information on unmanned vehicles.

  Further, in the display screen of FIG. 18, the required charges for the driver vehicle that is the candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the unmanned vehicle that is the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group are displayed. As shown in this display screen, information on a comparison target (in this case, a required fee) between a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group, It is preferable to display together with vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group. With this configuration, the user can determine the vehicle to be dispatched by comparing the required fees of the dispatch candidate vehicle of the desired vehicle group to be dispatched and the dispatch candidate vehicle of the undesired vehicle group.

  As described above, only when the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group, the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group and the Since display information regarding each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the desired vehicle group is presented to the user, the user's burden of always selecting the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle can be reduced, and the user can select the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. Only when it is estimated that the selection is desired, information regarding each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group can be displayed.

  In the second modification of the present embodiment, the predetermined display information generation condition is that the required fee for the allocation candidate vehicle in the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the allocation candidate vehicle in the desired vehicle allocation group. However, the present disclosure is not particularly limited to this, and the predetermined display information generation condition is a difference obtained by subtracting the required fee for the candidate vehicle for allocation in the undesired vehicle group from the required fee for the allocation candidate vehicle in the desired vehicle allocation group. It may be a condition that the fee is equal to or higher than a predetermined fee.

  In other words, the display information generation unit 124B determines whether or not the differential fee obtained by subtracting the required fee of the candidate vehicle allocation of the undesired vehicle group from the required fee of the allocation candidate vehicle of the desired vehicle allocation group is equal to or greater than the predetermined fee. May be. When it is determined that the difference fee obtained by subtracting the required fee of the candidate vehicle allocation of the undesired vehicle group from the required fee of the allocation candidate vehicle of the desired vehicle allocation group is greater than or equal to the predetermined fee, the display information generating unit 124B Display information regarding each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle group identification information may be generated. Further, when it is determined that the difference fee obtained by subtracting the required fee of the candidate vehicle allocation of the undesired vehicle group from the required fee of the allocation candidate vehicle of the desired vehicle allocation group is lower than the predetermined fee, the display information generation unit 124B Display information relating only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the desired vehicle group identification information may be generated.

  The predetermined fee may be an absolute fee such as 500 yen, for example, or may be a fee determined according to a required fee of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group. For example, the predetermined fee may be 10% of the required fee of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group. In this case, for example, if the required fee for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is 2000 yen, the predetermined fee is 200 yen.

  In Modification 1, the required time for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is to be compared, and in Modification 2, the required fee for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is to be compared, and the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information Judgment is made on whether or not the candidate vehicle for the undesired vehicle group is more suitable for the user than the candidate vehicle for allocation, but both the required time and the required fee for each candidate vehicle are compared and It may be determined whether or not a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is more suitable for the user than a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the desired vehicle group identification information.

  In this case, when a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group is determined, the required time calculation unit calculates a required time for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit based on a predetermined required time calculation rule. . Next, the display information generation unit determines whether or not the required time of both candidate vehicles for the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the required time of the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group shown in the desired vehicle group identification information. To do. Here, if it is determined that the time required for both candidates for allocation in the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the required time for the candidate vehicle for allocation in the desired vehicle group, the required fee calculation unit stores it in the fee system information storage unit. Based on the predetermined fee structure information, the required fee is calculated for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit.

  Next, the display information generation unit determines whether or not the required fee for both of the candidate vehicles for the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle for the desired vehicle group shown in the desired vehicle group identification information. To do. Here, if it is determined that the required fee for both of the candidate vehicles for the undesired vehicle group is lower than the required fee for the candidate vehicle group for the desired vehicle group, the display information generation unit displays the candidate for the desired vehicle group Display information relating to each of the vehicle and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is generated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the required time for both candidates for dispatch in the undesired vehicle group is not shorter than the required time for candidate vehicles in the desired vehicle group, or the required fee for the candidate vehicle in the desired vehicle group Accordingly, when it is determined that the required charges for both the vehicle allocation candidates in the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group are not low, the display information generation unit generates display information related only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group.

  FIG. 20 is a display regarding the required time and the required fee for each of the allocation candidate vehicles of the desired vehicle allocation group and the allocation candidate vehicles of the undesired allocation vehicle group in Modification 1 and Modification 2 of the embodiment of the present disclosure. It is a figure which shows an example of the display screen which displays information. The display information generation unit determines that the time required for both candidates for dispatch in the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the required time for the candidate vehicles in the desired vehicle group, and the required time for the candidate vehicles in the desired vehicle group When it is determined that the required fee is lower for both candidates for vehicle allocation in the undesired vehicle group than the fee, the display information shown in FIG. 20 is generated. The display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 displays the display information generated by the display information generation unit.

  Also, in FIG. 20, information related to the driver vehicle that is the candidate vehicle allocation of the desired vehicle group to be allocated and the unmanned vehicle that is the candidate vehicle allocation of the undesired vehicle group is displayed, but information related to the unmanned vehicle is presented. The reason is also displayed. In other words, the time required for the unmanned vehicles in the undesired vehicle group is shorter than the time required for the driver vehicles in the desired vehicle group, and the unmanned vehicles in the undesired vehicle group from the required fee for the driver vehicles in the desired vehicle group. Since the required fee is low, the display information generation unit displays that the unmanned vehicle that arrives at the boarding position earlier is cheaper than the driver vehicle and can be dispatched as a reason for presenting information about the unmanned vehicle .

  According to this configuration, a vehicle allocation request vehicle group only when the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution request undesired vehicle group is more suitable for the user than the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group based on the required fee and the required time. Display information on each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is presented to the user, so that the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group The conditions for generating the display information for each can be further limited.

<Modification 3>
In Modification 3 of the present embodiment, the user desires to select a vehicle to be allocated from among the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. An example of a condition for determining whether or not the situation is to be performed will be described.

  In Modification 3 of the present embodiment, as predetermined display information generation conditions, a route of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and a route of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information The case where the conditions that the values are different will be described.

  For example, it is difficult for a taxi user to determine which route is suitable. Therefore, in the third modification of the present embodiment, when the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is different, the route for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is presented to the user, and the vehicle allocation that passes the desired route The selection by the user of the candidate vehicle is accepted.

  When a user uses a taxi, some users want to enjoy the scenery from inside the car. For a user who wants to enjoy the scenery, if the route from the boarding position to the boarding candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is different from the boarding position, the information of only one vehicle There is also a possibility of wishing to present information on the other vehicle.

  In particular, in the case of an unmanned vehicle, the place where the vehicle can travel may be limited due to road conditions. Therefore, in the situation where the unmanned vehicle and the driver vehicle coexist, the unmanned vehicle and the driver vehicle have the same boarding position. And even if it is the same getting off position, the route may be different. The vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is a driver vehicle and the vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is also a driver vehicle, or the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle and When the vehicles belonging to the second vehicle group are also unmanned vehicles, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determined from the first vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determined from the second vehicle group have the same place where they can run. Therefore, if the boarding positions are the same, the getting-off positions are the same, and the route generation algorithms are the same, the routes are likely to be the same.

  As an example of the road situation, for example, the width of the road can be considered. Various situations may occur on narrow roads compared to main roads. Therefore, it is difficult to drive an unmanned vehicle on a narrow road. For example, there can be a situation in which an unmanned vehicle can travel only on a main road and cannot travel on a narrow road. For example, on a narrow road, the road width is narrow, so there may be no space for passing vehicles depending on the location. In that case, the unmanned vehicle needs to find a wide place where the vehicles can pass each other and move to the found wide place. Such a situation is unlikely to occur on a highway with a fixed lane.

  FIG. 21 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a management device according to the third modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 21, the same elements as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The management device 1C illustrated in FIG. 21 is different from the management device 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 in a control unit 12C and a storage unit 13C.

  The control unit 12C is different from the control unit 12 of the management apparatus 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 in a display information generation unit 124C and a route information generation unit 126C.

  The route information generation unit 126C generates route information including at least a route from the delivery source to the delivery destination for each of the first dispatch candidate vehicle and the second dispatch candidate vehicle based on the dispatch request information and the vehicle information. To do.

  The route information generation unit 126C generates a route from the boarding position to the getting-off position based on a predetermined route generation algorithm for each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles determined for each vehicle group determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 123. . The predetermined route generation algorithm is stored in advance in the control program storage unit 136C. The predetermined route generation algorithm is, for example, a known route generation algorithm used in an existing car navigation system. The route generation algorithm may be any algorithm as long as it can generate a route from the boarding position to the getting-off position.

  The display information generation unit 124C determines whether or not a predetermined display information generation condition is satisfied. At this time, the predetermined display information generation condition is a condition that the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is different from the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group.

  That is, the display information generation unit 124C determines whether the route from the boarding position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation request vehicle group to the getting off position is different from the route from the boarding position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group to the boarding position. Determine whether or not. When it is determined that the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is different from the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group, the display information generation unit 124C displays the vehicle allocation request vehicle indicated in the vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information. Display information is generated for each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles in the group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles in the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group. Further, when it is determined that the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group and the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group are the same, the display information generation unit 124C indicates the vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information. Display information relating only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group.

  The storage unit 13C is different from the storage unit 13 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control program storage unit 136C.

  The control program storage unit 136C stores a program for controlling each unit of the control unit 12C. In the third modification of the present embodiment, the control program storage unit 136C also stores control programs for the display information generation unit 124C and the route information generation unit 126C. The control program of the route information generation unit 126C includes a route generation algorithm for generating a route from the boarding position to the getting-off position.

  In the third modification of the present embodiment, the management device 1C corresponds to an example of a dispatching support device, the display information generation unit 124C corresponds to an example of a presentation information generation unit, and the route information generation unit 126C serves as a route generation unit. It corresponds to an example.

  Next, the management device 1 </ b> C configured as described above, the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information, and the vehicle allocation of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group Determine whether the display information generation condition that the route from the boarding position of the candidate vehicle to the getting-off position is different is satisfied, generate display information based on the determination result, and send the generated display information to the user terminal The dispatching support process to be performed will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart for describing the vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the third modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in steps S31 to S33 and steps S36 to S38 shown in FIG. 22 are the same as the processes in steps S1 to S3 and steps S5 to S7 shown in FIG.

  When the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group is determined in step S33, the route information generation unit 126C generates a route from the boarding position to the getting-off position for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (step S34).

  Next, the display information generation unit 124C determines whether or not the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information is different from the route of the vehicle allocation candidate of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group. (Step S35).

  If it is determined in step S35 that the route of the candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is different from the route of the vehicle allocation candidate for the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group (YES in step S35), the display information generation unit 124C Then, display information relating to each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group is generated (step S36).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S35 that the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the route of both vehicle allocation candidate of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group are the same (NO in step S35), the display information The generation unit 124C generates display information related only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group (step S37).

  FIG. 23 illustrates an example of a display screen that displays display information regarding each of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group in Modification 3 of the embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG.

  The display information generation unit 124C generates the display information illustrated in FIG. 23 when it is determined that the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is different from the route of the vehicle allocation candidate of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group.

  In FIG. 23, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information is a driver vehicle.

  In FIG. 23, information on a driver vehicle that is a candidate vehicle for allocation of vehicles to be allocated and an unmanned vehicle that is a candidate vehicle for allocation of vehicles that are not desired to be allocated is displayed. The reason for presenting information on unmanned vehicles is also shown in FIG. It is displayed. In other words, since the route of the driver vehicle in the desired vehicle group and the route of the unmanned vehicle in the undesired vehicle group are different, the display information generation unit 124C has the unmanned vehicle in which the route from the boarding position to the unloading position is different from that of the driver vehicle. Is also displayed as a reason for presenting information on unmanned vehicles.

  Further, FIG. 23 shows an example in which the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the route of both vehicle allocation candidate (unmanned vehicles) of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group are displayed on different maps. However, the two routes may be displayed on the same map. In addition, you may display in a different aspect the part which does not overlap the part of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation desired vehicle group, and the route of both vehicle allocation candidate of a vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group. In the case of this configuration, the user can easily recognize the overlapping part and the non-overlapping part.

  With the above configuration, dispatching is performed only when the route from the boarding position of the candidate vehicle to be dispatched to the unloading position of the vehicle group desired to be dispatched differs from the path from the boarding position of the candidate vehicle to be dispatched to the unloading position of the undesired vehicle group. Display information about each of the candidate vehicle allocation vehicles of the desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is presented to the user, thereby reducing the user's burden of always selecting the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. In addition, only when it is estimated that the user wishes to select a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle, information on each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group may be displayed. it can.

  In the third modification of the present embodiment, the display information generation unit 124C displays the route from the boarding position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group to the vehicle dropout position, and the boarding position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group. It is determined whether or not the route from the vehicle to the unloading position is different. Calculate the ratio of the part that overlaps the route from the position to the unloading position, and based on the ratio of the overlapping part, get off the position from the boarding position of the candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the candidate vehicle for the vehicle undesired vehicle allocation It may be determined whether or not the routes are different from each other. Specifically, as a method for calculating the ratio of the overlapping portions, the display information generation unit 124C has a vehicle distribution undesired vehicle out of the total distance of the route from the boarding position to the vehicle dropout position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group. By calculating the ratio of the distance of the route that overlaps the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position of the group vehicle allocation candidate vehicle, the ratio (overlap rate) of the overlapping portion is calculated.

  With this configuration, the display information generation unit 124C, for example, when the route of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the route of the vehicle allocation candidate of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group are substantially the same, that is, the overlapping portion When the ratio is high, display information related to only the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is generated. If the route is almost the same, the user is unlikely to determine the vehicle to be dispatched according to the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position, so the user should present unnecessary information to the user. Can be suppressed. In the above description, the display information generation unit 124C calculates the ratio of overlapping portions, but may calculate the ratio (difference rate) of non-overlapping portions.

<Modification 4>
In the fourth modification of the present embodiment, the user desires to select a vehicle to be allocated from among the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. Another example of the condition for determining whether or not the situation is to be performed will be described.

  In the fourth modification of the present embodiment, as a predetermined display information generation condition, the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information is a driver vehicle, and is indicated in the vehicle allocation request vehicle group identification information. A case will be described in which the condition that the distance from the boarding position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the desired vehicle allocation vehicle group to the getting-off position is shorter than a predetermined distance is used.

  When a user uses a taxi, if the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position is short, the fare will be reduced, so the user should refrain from the driver who wants to make a long-distance transportation and increase profits and go to the driver vehicle There is a risk of hesitating to board. For example, the user may hesitate to get on the driver vehicle when he / she rides only the distance corresponding to the initial boarding fee. Therefore, some users want to give priority to unmanned vehicles when the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position is short.

  Therefore, in the fourth modification of the present embodiment, the vehicle belonging to the desired vehicle assignment group indicated in the desired vehicle assignment group identification information is a driver vehicle and the desired vehicle assignment group indicated in the desired vehicle assignment identification information An example of generating display information about each of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group when the distance from the boarding position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to the departure position is shorter than a predetermined distance Will be described.

  FIG. 24 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a management device according to the fourth modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure. 24, elements similar to those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The control unit 12D differs from the control unit 12 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a display information generation unit 124D and a distance calculation unit 126D.

  The distance calculation unit 126D extracts the boarding position information and the getting-off position information included in the dispatch request information, and calculates the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position. For example, the distance calculation unit 126D generates a route from the boarding position to the getting-off position using a predetermined route generation algorithm, and calculates the distance of the generated route. In the case of this configuration, there is a possibility that the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position may be different for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle, and it is necessary to determine which vehicle allocation candidate vehicle route distance is to be calculated. However, in the fourth modification example, when the boarding distance in the driver vehicle is short, the unmanned vehicle is given priority, and thus the route distance of the driver vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is calculated.

  As another method for calculating the distance between the boarding position and the getting-off position, the distance calculation unit 126D may calculate a linear distance connecting the boarding position and the getting-off position. According to this configuration, the calculation process is easy, and all the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles have the same distance, so it is not necessary to consider the type of vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. However, the linear distance connecting the boarding position and the getting-off position is different from the actual travel distance of the vehicle, and may be different from the actual travel distance of the vehicle.

  The display information generation unit 124D determines whether or not a predetermined display information generation condition is satisfied. At this time, the predetermined display information generation condition is that the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is a driver vehicle, and the distance from the delivery source of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group to the delivery destination is shorter than the predetermined distance.

It may be determined whether the weight of the package is heavier than a predetermined value. In this case, the display information generation unit 124F performs the process of step S67 when it is determined that the weight of the package is heavier than a predetermined value, and when it is determined that the weight of the package is equal to or less than the predetermined value, step S68. Perform the process. With this configuration, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

  The information on the weight of the luggage can be acquired from the dispatch request information, for example, as with the number of luggage. In the case of this configuration, the user inputs vehicle allocation request information including the weight of the package. However, since the user is not necessarily in an environment where the weight of the package can be measured, the user cannot know the weight of the package and may input the information on the package weight inaccurately. Therefore, the management device 1F may acquire the vehicle allocation request information including the type of the package from the user terminal 2 instead of the weight of the package. The display information generation unit 124F may determine the weight of the package corresponding to the type of package with reference to a database in which the weight is associated with each type of package. In the case of this configuration, the management apparatus 1F may include a database in which weights are associated with each type of luggage. In addition, the management device 1F transmits the type of the package to an external device including a database in which the weight is associated with each type of package, and receives the weight of the package corresponding to the type of package from the external device. Also good.

<Modification 7>
In the seventh modification of the present embodiment, the user desires to select a vehicle to be allocated from among the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. Another example of the condition for determining whether or not the situation is to be performed will be described.

  In the examples so far, a service for distributing a taxi and delivering a person has been described. However, in Modification 7 of the present embodiment, a service for delivering goods by a vehicle such as a taxi is not limited to a person. To do. Here, the service for delivering an article means a service for delivering an article from one point to another in response to a user request. In the case of a service for delivering an object, the user terminal 2 uses a delivery source position information indicating a position where the delivery target is loaded instead of the boarding position information, and a delivery indicating a position where the delivery target is lowered instead of the getting-off position information. Vehicle allocation request information including the previous position information is transmitted to the management device.

  In the service of delivering goods, in the case of a driver vehicle, the driver supports loading of a package on the vehicle after arrival at the delivery source, or the driver supports unloading from the vehicle after arrival at the delivery destination. However, in the case of an unmanned vehicle, since there is no driver, it is necessary for the user to load the cargo at the delivery source and unload it at the delivery destination.

  Therefore, in Modification 7 of the present embodiment, when the vehicle belonging to the desired vehicle allocation group indicated in the desired vehicle allocation vehicle group identification information is an unmanned vehicle and the delivery target is an object, The example which produces | generates the display information regarding each of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group is demonstrated.

  FIG. 33 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a management device according to the seventh modification of the embodiment of the present disclosure. 33, elements similar to those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The management device 1G shown in FIG. 33 differs from the management device 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control unit 12G and a storage unit 13G.

  The control unit 12G differs from the control unit 12 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a display information generation unit 124G and a delivery type identification information acquisition unit 126G.

  The delivery type identification information acquisition unit 126G identifies whether the delivery target is a person or an object, that is, the delivery type identification information for identifying an object delivery service or a taxi person delivery service. get.

  The vehicle allocation request information may include, for example, delivery type identification information. The delivery type identification information acquisition unit 126G can acquire the delivery type identification information by extracting the delivery type identification information from the dispatch request information acquired from the user terminal 2. As another configuration, the delivery type identification information acquisition unit 126G may acquire the delivery type identification information from the user terminal 2 separately from the dispatch request information.

  The display information generation unit 124G determines whether or not a predetermined display information generation condition is satisfied. At this time, the predetermined display information generation condition is a condition that the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle (automatic driving vehicle) and the delivery target is an object.

  That is, the display information generation unit 124G generates display information that the vehicle belonging to the desired vehicle assignment group indicated in the desired vehicle assignment group identification information is an unmanned vehicle and the delivery target indicated in the delivery type identification information is an object. Determine whether the condition is met. When it is determined that the display information generation condition is satisfied, the display information generation unit 124G each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information. Display information about is generated. Further, when it is determined that the display information generation condition is not satisfied, the display information generation unit 124G generates display information related only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information.

  The storage unit 13G is different from the storage unit 13 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control program storage unit 136G.

  The control program storage unit 136G stores a program for controlling various control units of the control unit 12. In the seventh modification of the present embodiment, the control program storage unit 136G also stores the control program for the display information generation unit 124G.

  In the seventh modification of the present embodiment, the user terminal 2 transmits delivery type identification information to the management device 1G. The user terminal 2 transmits vehicle allocation request information including the distribution type identification information, or transmits the distribution type identification information separately from the vehicle allocation request information.

  Moreover, in the modified example 7 of this Embodiment, the management apparatus 1G corresponds to an example of a dispatch assistance apparatus, and the display information generation part 124G corresponds to an example of a presentation information generation part.

  Next, in the management apparatus 1G configured as described above, the vehicle belonging to the desired vehicle assignment group indicated in the desired vehicle assignment vehicle group identification information is an unmanned vehicle, and the delivery target indicated in the delivery type identification information is an object. FIG. 34 is used for a vehicle allocation support process for determining whether or not the display information generation condition is satisfied, generating display information based on the determination result, and transmitting the generated display information to the user terminal. I will explain.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart for describing a vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the modified example 7 of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in step S71, step S72, step S74, and steps S77 to S79 shown in FIG. 34 are the same as the processes in step S1 to step S3 and step S5 to step S7 shown in FIG. To do.

  When the vehicle allocation request information is acquired in step S72, the delivery type identification information acquisition unit 126G acquires the delivery type identification information included in the vehicle allocation request information (step S73).

  When the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is determined for each vehicle group in step S74, the display information generation unit 124G determines whether or not the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group indicated in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group identification information is an unmanned vehicle ( Step S75).

  When it is determined in step S75 that the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle (YES in step S75), the display information generation unit 124G determines whether the delivery target indicated by the delivery type identification information is an object. It is determined whether or not (step S76).

  When it is determined in step S76 that the delivery target indicated by the delivery type identification information is an object (YES in step S76), the display information generation unit 124G and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle distribution undesired Display information relating to each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle group is generated (step S77).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S75 that the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is not an unmanned vehicle (NO in step S75), or the delivery target indicated by the delivery type identification information is an object in step S76. If it is determined that there is not (NO in step S76), the display information generation unit 124G generates display information related only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles in the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group (step S78).

  FIG. 35 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen that displays display information regarding each of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of a vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group in Modification 7 of the embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG.

  The display information generation unit 124G generates the display information illustrated in FIG. 35 when it is determined that the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle and the delivery target indicated by the delivery type identification information is an object. .

  In FIG. 35, information on unmanned vehicles that are candidate vehicles for allocation of vehicles desired to be allocated and driver vehicles that are candidate vehicles for allocation of vehicles that are not desired to be allocated is displayed. It is displayed. That is, since the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle and the delivery target is an object, the display information generation unit 124G can also allocate the driver vehicle to which the driver delivers the package to the entrance of the delivery destination. Is displayed as a reason for presenting information on the driver vehicle.

  In FIG. 35, as the reason for presenting the information regarding the driver vehicle, for example, it may be presented that the driver is going to pick up the package to the entrance of the delivery source. In this case, the display information generation unit 124G may include, in the display information, information that “the driver vehicle that the driver asks to receive the package to the entrance of the delivery source can be dispatched”.

  With the above configuration, only when the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle and the delivery target indicated by the delivery type identification information is an object, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group and the vehicle distribution undesired Since display information about each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle group is presented to the user, the user's burden of always selecting a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle can be reduced, and the user can select a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. Only when it is estimated that the vehicle is desired, information on the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group can be displayed.

  In Modification 7 of the present embodiment, it is assumed that the vehicle allocation support system provides both a person delivery service by taxi and a goods delivery service. Although it is determined whether or not, the same effect as that of the present disclosure can be obtained even when the vehicle dispatching support system provides only the delivery service of goods. When the dispatching support system provides only a delivery service for goods, it is not necessary to determine whether or not the delivery target is an article. Therefore, the display information generation unit 124G generates display information based on the determination result of whether or not the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle. When the display information generation unit 124G determines that the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (unmanned vehicle) of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group Display information relating to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group and display information relating only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group.

  Further, in the modified example 7 of the present embodiment, the vehicle allocation support system provides a delivery service in which a package is loaded at a delivery source and then a package is lowered at a delivery destination. However, the present disclosure is not particularly limited thereto. A collection service for loading packages at a delivery source or a delivery service for dropping packages at a delivery destination may be provided. The collection service is a service that collects packages from the collection center to the delivery source, and the home delivery service is a service that delivers packages from the collection center to the delivery destination. In the collection service, the destination is the delivery source, and in the home delivery service, the destination is the delivery destination.

  The example of the predetermined display information generation condition determined by the display information generation units 124A to 124G has been described above in detail. However, the above display information generation condition is an example, and other display information generation conditions may be used. Good.

  In the present embodiment, the service for dispatching a taxi has been described. However, the same effect can be obtained for a service for delivering goods. A service for delivering an object is a service for delivering an object from one point to another in response to a user request. The difference between a taxi and a service that delivers goods is the difference in whether the delivery target is a person or a thing. In the case of a service for delivering an object, the user terminal 2 manages vehicle allocation request information including location information of a delivery source indicating a position where the delivery target is loaded and location information of a delivery destination indicating a location where the delivery target is lowered. 1 to send. In the case of a service that dispatches taxis, the location information of the delivery source that indicates the location where the delivery target is loaded corresponds to the location where the person is placed, that is, the location where the user gets on, and the delivery destination that indicates the location where the delivery target is lowered This position information corresponds to the position where the person is dropped, that is, the position where the user gets off.

  Further, although a plurality of display information generation conditions have been described in the present embodiment, it is preferable to accept selection by the user of which display information generation conditions to use from among the plurality of display information generation conditions. With this configuration, only when the display information generation condition desired by the user is satisfied, it is possible to generate display information on each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group. it can.

  FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an example of a condition selection screen for the user to select a display information generation condition in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 displays a condition selection screen for accepting selection by the user of display information generation conditions. As shown in FIG. 36, on the condition selection screen, a plurality of display information generation conditions are displayed so as to be selectable. In FIG. 36, the required time is specified as the display information generation condition.

  In this case, the input unit 23 of the user terminal 2 accepts selection of display information generation conditions desired by the user from among a plurality of different display information generation conditions. Then, the communication unit 21 of the user terminal 2 transmits condition specifying information for specifying the display information generation condition selected by the user to the management apparatus 1. The control unit 12 of the management device 1 further includes a condition designation information acquisition unit that acquires condition designation information for designating display information generation conditions from the user terminal 2. The display information generation unit 124 generates display information in accordance with the display information generation condition specified by the condition specifying information.

  In addition to using a plurality of display information generation conditions alone, a plurality of display information generation conditions may be combined. In addition, it is preferable that the combination of several display information generation conditions is determined by the user.

  The display information generation unit 124 determines whether a predetermined display information generation condition is satisfied only when the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is a driver vehicle, and generates display information based on the determination result. When the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle, display information relating only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group may be generated. At this time, the display information generation unit 124 determines whether or not a display information generation condition that a vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is a driver vehicle is satisfied, and the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is not a driver vehicle. That is, when the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle, display information relating only to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group may be generated.

  With this configuration, when the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is an unmanned vehicle, only the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the unmanned vehicle is always displayed, and when the vehicle belonging to the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is a driver vehicle, When the display information generation condition is satisfied, the driver allocation candidate vehicle and the unmanned vehicle allocation candidate vehicle are displayed. Therefore, it is possible to increase the chances of displaying information on the candidate vehicle allocation vehicle for the unmanned vehicle to the user from the information on the candidate vehicle allocation vehicle for the driver vehicle, and increase the possibility that the user selects the unmanned vehicle. . For delivery companies, if a user uses an unmanned vehicle rather than a driver vehicle, there is a higher possibility that it will lead to profits because labor costs are not incurred. With this configuration, the delivery company can obtain more profit.

  In addition, when displaying the display information about each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group, the display mode of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group The display modes of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles may be displayed different from each other. Since the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is originally the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle group that the user desires to allocate, for example, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation request vehicle group is changed to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group. It may be displayed with more emphasis. As an example of highlighting, for example, the display range of the allocation candidate vehicle of the desired vehicle allocation group is made larger than the display range of the allocation candidate vehicle of the undesired allocation vehicle group, or the allocation candidate vehicle of the desired allocation vehicle group is displayed. The font of the character is different from the font of the character that displays the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group, or the color that displays the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group is a color other than white and black (for example, red or blue) Or use. According to this configuration, it is possible to make it easy for the user to visually recognize which vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle group originally desired to be allocated.

  In addition, the contents of information to be displayed may be different between the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group. For example, the information related to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation desired vehicle group includes the vehicle group identification information, the required fee and the required time, and the information related to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the vehicle allocation undesired vehicle group includes the vehicle group identification information and And information indicating the reason for presenting the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle of the desired vehicle group.

  With this configuration, the user can be notified in more detail of information regarding the candidate vehicle allocation of the desired vehicle group to be allocated, which is considered to be most important by the user, and the minimum necessary information regarding the candidate vehicle allocation of the undesired vehicle group Can be notified. In the case of this configuration, a detail confirmation button may be displayed so that details of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group can be confirmed. With this configuration, it is necessary to select a detail confirmation button, but the user can also confirm details of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in the vehicle distribution undesired vehicle group.
