It is registered in the standby registration order table. That is, the taxi vehicle D is added to the standby registration order table.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining another example of determining the order of waiting for taxi vehicles. FIG. 10A shows taxi vehicles A, B, C, and D located in standby spaces W, X, Y, and Z, respectively, and taxi vehicle F when a taxi vehicle A that has become an actual vehicle starts in front of the standby registration location T. Is in a position outside the position to be lined up with the standby registration place T. FIG. 10B shows that, in the situation shown in FIG. 10A, taxi vehicles A, taxi vehicles B, taxi vehicles C and taxi vehicles D are registered in the standby registration order table in the order of standby of the taxi vehicles. That is, FIG. 10B shows that in the situation shown in FIG. 10A, the taxi vehicle F located at a position deviating from the position to be lined up with the standby registration location T is excluded from the taxi vehicles for which the standby order should be determined.

  FIG. 10C shows that the taxi vehicles B, C, and D are located in the standby spaces X, Y, and Z after the start of the taxi vehicle A, which has become a real vehicle in front of the standby registration location T, and the position of the taxi vehicle F is registered in the standby state. This shows a situation at a position deviating from a position to be lined up with the place T. FIG. 10D shows that the taxi vehicle B, the taxi vehicle C and the taxi vehicle D are registered in the standby registration order table in the order of the taxi vehicles in the order shown in FIG. 10C. That is, FIG. 10D shows that in the situation shown in FIG. 10C, the taxi vehicle F located at a position deviating from the position to be lined up at the standby registration place T is still excluded from the taxi vehicles to determine the standby order.

  According to the present embodiment, the order of waiting for taxi vehicles entering the waiting area R is determined so as to be the order of entering the waiting area R, so that the order of waiting for taxi vehicles becomes the waiting registration place T. They can be arranged in order. This makes it possible to accurately manage the order of waiting for taxi vehicles.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, it is determined based on the vehicle data whether or not the taxi vehicle is willing to ride the customer at the standby registration location T. The determined taxi vehicles are excluded from the taxi vehicles whose waiting order should be determined. As a result, the order of waiting the taxi vehicles can be managed more accurately.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the taxi vehicle intends to get the customer on standby registration location T based on the travel distance, travel direction, vehicle speed, and position of the taxi vehicle determined based on the vehicle data. Judge based on at least one. As a result, it is possible to accurately determine a taxi vehicle to be excluded when determining the waiting order.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, a taxi vehicle whose traveling distance is outside the predetermined distance range, a taxi vehicle whose traveling direction is different from the predetermined direction, a taxi vehicle whose vehicle speed is outside the predetermined speed range, or a standby registration location are provided. Taxi vehicles located outside the position to be lined up are excluded when determining the waiting order. As a result, when determining the waiting order, it is possible to accurately select only taxi vehicles that are willing to get the customer to board at the waiting registration place T.

  Furthermore, taxi vehicles in which the operation position of the shift lever of the transmission is parked and do not move for a certain period of time are excluded from taxi vehicles for which the order of waiting should be determined. As a result, taxi vehicles to be excluded when determining the waiting order can be determined based on the vehicle data without calculating the moving distance, moving direction, vehicle speed, and the like, and the calculation load on the CPU 24 can be reduced. .

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and many modifications and variations are possible. For example, the waiting order determination unit 24c may determine whether or not to be excluded from the taxi vehicles whose waiting order should be determined according to the presence or absence of a standby registration request from the vehicle-mounted device 1 of the taxi vehicle. In this case, the waiting order determining unit 24c excludes taxi vehicles that have not made a standby registration request from taxi vehicles for which the standby order should be determined.

  The range determined in advance based on the standby registration location T may be a range other than the range R, for example, a range within a radius of 1 km of the registration standby location T. When the range determined in advance based on the standby registration location is set to a range within a radius of 1 km of the registration standby location, the standby order determination unit 24c sets the standby order of the recorded taxi vehicles to a range within a radius of 1 km of the registration standby location. It is determined to be in the order of entry, and then, based on the position information of the taxi vehicle, it is determined again to be in the order close to the standby registration place.
