A fare calculation unit 111 configured with a CPU or the like that calculates a fare based on data of a traveling distance; a driving state evaluation unit 112 that evaluates the quality of a driving state based on driving state data; When the evaluation is determined to be equal to or less than a predetermined value (that is, when it is determined that the driving is dangerous, for example, when it is determined to be 4 or less of the 10-level evaluation), a predetermined amount or a predetermined point is calculated from the fare. And a reduction processing unit 113 for reducing.

  As a result, when a dangerous driving or the like is performed, the passenger can be given a monetary discount or points that can be used at the time of the next boarding and the like, and can be returned. It can compensate for the burden.

  In addition, when the vehicle arrives at the destination, it is determined whether or not dangerous driving or the like has been performed. If it is determined that the dangerous driving or the like has been performed, Since a kind of penalty of returning a predetermined amount or a predetermined point from the fare is imposed, it is possible to effectively raise awareness of safe driving.

  In addition, the taxi meter (digital tachograph DT1) includes return processing exemption means 114 that exempts the return processing by the return processing means 113 by selection of the fare payer (passenger or the like).

  With this, if the passengers who pay the fare are judged (selected), for example, if the degree of the dangerous driving experience is small, the reduction of the fare and the exemption of points can be exempted. Can be planned. The evaluation of the driving state is recorded in the operation recording means 110 and is reflected in a daily report or the like, so that the manager or the like can later confirm the degree of dangerous driving or the like by analyzing the data.
