The description is omitted because it is similar.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the vehicle allocation reservation server 100 according to the present disclosure.

  In step S11, the vehicle allocation candidate selection unit 122 receives the vehicle allocation request information from the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300. In one example, the vehicle allocation request information includes information indicating an item input via the display / input screen I2a shown in FIG. For example, the communication terminal 200 uses the information indicating the position of the communication terminal 200 received from the position information acquisition unit 240 as boarding position information.

  In step S12, the dispatch candidate selecting unit 122 selects a dispatch candidate. For example, the dispatch candidate selection unit 122 determines the position indicated by the vehicle position information of the dispatchable vehicles 400A, 400B, and 400C received from the first information acquisition unit 124, and the boarding position information received from the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300. The deployable vehicles 400A, 400B, and 400C are narrowed down based on the distance to the position indicated by. Next, the dispatch candidate selection unit 122 sets the number of passengers shown in the dispatch request information, the luggage storage location, and the necessary luggage space in the vacant area of the vehicle indicated in the vacant area information received from the second information acquisition unit 126. A dispatchable vehicle capable of securing the vehicle is selected as a dispatch candidate. In one example, the vacant space of the trunk of a predetermined size among the vacant spaces of the vehicle is counted as one vacant seat.

  In step S13, the dispatch candidate selecting unit 122 determines whether at least one dispatch candidate has been selected.

  If it is determined that the vehicle allocation candidate selection unit 122 has selected at least one vehicle allocation candidate (step S13: Yes), the vehicle allocation candidate selection unit 122 transmits the vehicle allocation candidate information to the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300 in step S14. Send. The communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300 who has received the vehicle allocation candidate information causes the display unit 220 to display a selection screen for the vehicle allocation candidate. Next, the communication terminal 200 receives, via the input unit 230, the selection of a vehicle allocation candidate from at least one vehicle allocation candidate by the rider 300. Next, the communication terminal 200 transmits allocation selection information indicating the selected allocation candidate to the allocation reservation server 100.

  In step S <b> 15, the dispatch reservation unit 128 receives dispatch selection information from the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300.

  In step S16, the dispatch reservation unit 128 transmits the available space information of the dispatch candidate indicated by the dispatch selection information to the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300.

  Here, FIG. 9 is referred to. FIG. 9 shows an example of the display / input screen I3 on the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300. In one example, the free space information includes information indicating the arrangement of the seat and the trunk in the car, and information indicating whether the seat and the trunk are occupied. In the display / input screen I3 shown in FIG. 9, unoccupied seats and trunks (vacant areas) are shown as “o”, and occupied seats and trunks (occupied areas) are shown as “x”. There is.

  In one example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the passenger 300 taps on the seat or trunk indicated by “o”, to select “person”, “package”, and “cancel”. Window is displayed, for example, in the form of a balloon. Here, when it is desired to bring a person in a seat or a trunk, the passenger 300 designates a seat or a trunk and selects “person”. In addition, when it is desired to put a load on a seat or a trunk, the passenger 300 designates the seat or the trunk and selects the “load”. In addition, in the case of canceling the designation made once, the passenger 300 designates a seat or a trunk and selects “cancel”. For example, the passenger 300 repeats the designation of the seat or the trunk for the number of passengers and the space (the number of seats) required for storing luggage, which are input through the display / input screen I2a shown in FIG.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of the display / input screen I4 on the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300. As shown in FIG. 10, if the area (designated area) for the designated number of people who want to get in the ride 300 wants to occupy is specified from the vacant area and the number is 0, as shown in FIG. A designation complete button is displayed to indicate that the has been completed. When the boarding person 300 taps the specification completion button, the communication terminal 200 of the boarding person 300 transmits, to the reservation control server 100, a dispatch request including the designated area information indicating the designated area that the boarding person 300 wants to occupy.

  Refer again to FIG. In step S17, the vehicle allocation reservation unit 128 of the reservation control server 100 receives a vehicle allocation request including the designated area information from the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300. By this, the vehicle allocation is reserved.

  Therefore, in order to prevent double reservation of vehicle space such as a seat in a car reserved in advance, in step S18, the allocation reservation unit 128 sets the free space stored by the storage unit 130 based on the designated area information. Update area information. For example, the free area information is overwritten with information indicating the free area and other occupied areas included in the designated area information. In this way, it is possible to confirm the vacant area of the dispatch candidate vehicle for the luggage to be put on the boarding candidate 300 before the boarding candidate 300 actually gets in, before the boarding candidate 300 actually gets on board. It is possible to prevent in advance that 300 can not get on board because of lack of free space at the time of getting on.

  In step S19, the dispatch reservation unit 128 transmits the boarding position information to the in-vehicle device 500. The in-vehicle apparatus 500 that has received the boarding position information transmits the boarding position information to the automatic driving control device 600 of the allocation candidate so as to include the boarding position indicated by the boarding position information in the planned traveling route of the allocation candidate. The automatic driving control apparatus 600 that has received the boarding position information allows the boarding candidate 300 to board the dispatch candidate at the boarding position by including the boarding position indicated by the boarding position information in the planned travel route of the dispatch candidate. Become.

  In step S <b> 20, the allocation reservation unit 128 transmits a notification that the allocation request has been accepted to the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300. The communication terminal 200 of the boarding applicant 300 having received the notification displays, on the display unit 220, a message and / or an icon, for example, indicating that the allocation request has been accepted.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S13 that the vehicle allocation candidate selecting unit 122 has not selected any vehicle allocation candidate (step S13: No), the vehicle allocation candidate selecting unit 122 notifies that there is no vehicle allocation candidate for the passenger It transmits to 300 communication terminals 200 (Step S21), and a flow is ended. The communication terminal 200 of the boarding candidate 300 having received the notification displays on the display unit 220 a message and / or an icon, for example, indicating that there is no vehicle allocation candidate or that the vehicle allocation request has not been accepted.

  Thus, the dispatch reservation system 10 according to the first embodiment includes the dispatch reservation server 100, the communication terminal 200 of the passenger 300, and the dispatchable automatic drive vehicles 400A, 400B, and 400C.
