Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.
In the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a method for allocating a passenger car.

  As shown in FIG. 1, this shared vehicle allocation method 1 includes a usage application reception process 2 for receiving usage application information including at least a boarding location, a getting-off location, and the number of passengers from a user, and an operation for extracting an existing operation. An extraction process 3 and an operation selection process 4 for selecting an operation that can insert the boarding place and alighting place of the user into the route being operated from the operations extracted in the operation extraction process 3 using a sequential insertion method; The vehicle selection process 4 includes a vehicle allocation process 6 that allocates a vehicle 5 that performs the operation selected in the operation selection process 4 to the user.

  In this vehicle allocation method 1, the vehicle allocation system 7 is used. As shown in FIG. 2, this shared vehicle allocation system 7 can be connected to a user terminal 8 capable of transmitting use application information, and to the user terminal 8 via an electric communication line. The receiving terminal 9 that can receive the use application information specifying the place, the getting-off place and the number of passengers, and the operation can be extracted, and the boarding place and the getting-off place of the user received by the receiving terminal 9 from the extracted operation Installed in the vehicle 5, an operation selection means 10 for selecting an operation that can be inserted into the route using a sequential insertion method, a vehicle allocation instruction means 11 for instructing a vehicle 5 that performs the operation selected by the operation selection means 10, and The vehicle terminal 12 can receive a dispatch instruction from the dispatch instruction means 11.

  In the present embodiment, the operation selecting means 10 and the dispatching instruction means 11 are assumed to be a program provided in the receiving terminal 9, and the existing operation (currently operating operation) and its route are stored in the storage device of the receiving terminal 9. 13 is stored.

  The operation selection means 10 and the dispatch instruction means 11 may be provided in a terminal separate from the receiving terminal 9 or may be an independent device connected by wire or wirelessly. It may be stored in a terminal, or may be stored in a server on the Internet.

A method 1 for allocating passenger cars will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, the user inputs use application information designating the boarding location, the getting-off location, the boarding time, the getting-off time, the number of passengers, etc. from the user terminal 8 and transmits it via the Internet line. When the use application information is transmitted from the user, the receiving terminal 9 performs a use application receiving step 2 for receiving the use application information.

  Although not shown in the figure, personal information of the user is stored in a user database or the like, and this user database is stored in a storage device such as the receiving terminal 9 or the like.

The boarding / alighting time input by the user is a boarding desired time and a boarding desired time, and the boarding / alighting time slightly varies depending on the service selected in the service selection process 4 described later.
Further, only one of these getting-on / off times can be designated, or none can be designated.

In the operation extraction process 3, the operation selection means 10 connected to the receiving terminal 9 acquires the use application contents, that is, the boarding / departure time and boarding / exiting time, and the existing operation is extracted.
The existing operation is stored in the storage device 13, and the operation selection means 10 accesses the storage device 13 and extracts the existing operation.

  Next, after selecting an existing operation, the operation selection means 10 performs an operation selection process 4 for determining whether or not a new boarding location (route) can be inserted into the route of this existing operation using the sequential insertion method. .

  In this existing service, there are restrictions on the service because reservations have already been made, and there is a designation of a break time, etc., and it is determined whether the vehicle can be operated even if a new route is inserted. The operation selection means 10 uses the sequential insertion method to select one that can insert a route for new use application information within the spare time of the existing operation.

For example, when inserting a route (boarding point C-getting-off point B) newly applied for by a user between existing route (point A-point B), the following criteria: To determine whether or not a new route can be inserted.
RTA-B: AB direct driving time SLA-B: AB spare time RTA-C: AC direct driving time RTC-B: CB direct driving time RTA-B + SLA-B ≧ RTA If -C + RTC-B, it is determined that insertion is possible RTA-B + SLA-B <RTA-C + If RTC-B, it is determined that insertion is not possible. This is the time required when going straight to point B.

The surplus time of AB is the time allowance of the existing operation, for example, the direct operation time of AB is 30 minutes, and the existing operation is 45 minutes as the operation time between AB. If it is set, the margin time AB is 15 minutes.
The direct operation time of A-C is the time required when the vehicle travels directly from point A to point C.
The direct operation time of C-B is the time required when going straight from point C to point B.
The operation selection means 10 makes such a determination, and selects an existing operation that can insert a new usage application route in real time.

  At this time, in the present embodiment, the priority is determined based on the amount of spare time consumed by the insertion in the existing operation in which it is determined that the contents of the new use application can be inserted into the route. Specifically, it is determined that the priority is higher as the consumption amount of the spare time is smaller, and an existing operation with higher priority is selected. By preferentially selecting an existing operation with the most allowance time, a new route can be inserted surely in compliance with the end time of the operation.

  If the user does not specify any of the boarding / exit times, an existing operation is selected according to a preset condition, such as selecting a vehicle that can be routed first among the vehicles that can be inserted into the route. The

  When there is no existing operation or when there is no existing operation in which a new use application route can be inserted, a new vehicle can be operated and dispatched to the user as shown in the flowchart.

  When the operation selection unit 10 selects an existing operation in which the route of the user application information can be inserted, the vehicle allocation instruction unit 11 sends a vehicle allocation instruction to the vehicle terminal 12 of the vehicle 5 performing the selected operation. A vehicle dispatching process 6 is performed in which the vehicle is dispatched in accordance with the use application contents of the user.

[Different forms for carrying out the invention]
Next, different modes for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 will be described. In the description of the different embodiments for carrying out the present invention, the same components as those in the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  The second embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is mainly different from the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention in the existing operation that is determined to be insertable. Therefore, it is determined that the priority is higher as the difference with the boarding / exiting time input by the user is smaller, and the vehicle selection method 1A for performing the operation selection process 4A for selecting an existing operation with a higher priority is provided. Even in the shared vehicle allocation system 7 using the operation selection means 10 for performing such selection, the same effects as those of the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention can be obtained.

  In addition, when the getting-off time is designated, it is desirable to select the one that is closest to the desired getting-off time among the operations that arrive earlier than the getting-off time, and not to select the operation that arrives later than the desired getting-off time.

  The third embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is mainly different from the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention in the existing operation that is determined to be insertable. Therefore, it is determined that the priority is higher as the time increase of the entire operation is smaller, and the operation selection process 4B for selecting the existing operation having a higher priority is performed. Even in the shared vehicle allocation system 7 using the operation selection means 10 to be performed, the same effects as the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention can be obtained.

In other words, by inserting a new usage application information route, if there is an operation A in which the time required for operation extends from 30 minutes to 45 minutes and an operation B in which the time required for operation increases from 40 minutes to 45 minutes, Although the time required for the entire operation after inserting the route of the use application information is the same, the operation B is selected with priority because the operation B has less time increase.
By performing such an operation selection process 4B, the efficiency of the operation can be improved.

  The present invention is used in an industry for distributing a shared car.
