The travel time storage area 13 stores information about travel time of a vehicle from one stop position arbitrarily selected from a plurality of stop positions to another stop position. The travel time information preferably includes travel time of the vehicle corresponding to all combinations of two stop positions included in the plurality of stop positions.

As shown in FIG. 1, the temporary information storage area 17 is information stored in the stop position storage area 11, the vehicle specification storage area 18, the stop time storage area 12, the travel time storage area 13, and the operation plan information storage area 7. Temporarily store some or all of the.

The operation plan information storage area 7 stores operation plan information regarding an operation plan according to the demand of the user. More specifically, the operation plan information storage area 7 stores the operation plan of the vehicle by dividing it into predetermined time frames on each day (for example, every morning, afternoon, and every three hours).

The program 20 processes the information stored in the memory 10. The program 20 includes a route calculation program 21 as an example of route calculation means, a manpower calculation program 22 as an example of manpower calculation means, a judgment program 23 as an example of judgment means, and an operation plan storage program 24. Equipped with.

The route calculation program 21, which will be described in detail later, calculates the operation route based on the desired boarding position and desired unloading position of the user, the desired loading position of the luggage, and the desired unloading position.

As will be described later in detail, the manpower calculation program 22 calculates the number of passengers on the vehicle along the operating route, and the load amount and load volume of the luggage.

The determination program 23, which will be described in detail later, determines whether the number of passengers in the vehicle is less than or equal to the number of passengers allowed in the vehicle, and determines whether the load capacity of the luggage in the vehicle is less than or equal to the loadable capacity of the vehicle. And a step of determining whether the load volume of the load on the vehicle is less than or equal to the loadable volume of the vehicle.

The operation plan storage program 24 will be described in detail later, but the operation route, the operation date and the operation time frame of the operation route (for example, morning, afternoon, etc.), the specification information of the vehicle corresponding to the operation route, and the operation Information on the number of passengers on the route and the number of passengers on the route, and load amount information on the load amount and load volume of the vehicle on the operation route are associated with each other to form an operation plan, which is stored in the operation plan information storage area 7.

The input device 5 is electrically connected to the processing device 4. The input device 5 can be operated by an operator, for example.

<Processing of operation management system>
Next, the processing of the operation management system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

In the following description, the first user is explained to the next user for ease of understanding, but this processing is used exclusively for the reservation availability from the next user.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the process of the operation management system 1, first, the demand of the user is accepted (step 1). For example, an operator stationed at the vehicle dispatch management center receives demand information from the user by using a telephone terminal or the like provided at the management center.

The demand information of the user includes at least a desired date of use, a desired time zone of use, whether the user wants to pick up and drop off, and whether the user wants to transport luggage.

When the user wants to pick up and drop off, the demand information of the user further includes a desired boarding position, a desired boarding position, and a desired boarding number. When the user wants to transport the package, the demand information of the user further includes a desired loading position, a desired unloading position, a desired loading amount, and a desired loading volume.

In the present embodiment, a mode in which the user wants transportation and luggage transportation will be described, but the user may desire either transportation or luggage transportation. However, the finally decided operation plan includes both transportation of users and transportation of luggage.

After that, when the operator inputs the demand information of the user with the input device 5, the demand information from the user is stored in the temporary information storage area 17. Then, the arithmetic processing unit 6 executes the route calculation program 21.

Then, the route calculation program 21 causes the operation plan information storage area 7 to store the operation plan scheduled in the user's desired date and in the time frame including the user's desired time zone (for example, morning and afternoon). It is determined whether or not it is stored in (step 2).

In the present embodiment, first, a mode in which the operation plan is not stored in the operation plan information storage area 7 (that is, a mode in which the user's demand is first received) will be described, and the operation plan information storage area 7 will be operated. A mode in which the plan is stored (that is, a mode in which the user's demand is received for the second time or later) will be described later.

When the operation plan is not stored in the operation plan information storage area 7 (Yes in step 2), the route calculation program 21 determines the desired boarding position and the desired exiting position of the user, and the desired loading position and desired unloading position of the luggage. Based on the position, the specific stop position information is extracted from the stop position storage area 11 to the temporary information storage area 17 to create an operation route including a plurality of stop positions (step 3).

Next, the arithmetic processing unit 6 executes the manpower calculation program 22. Then, the manpower calculation program 22 determines an arbitrary vehicle and extracts the vehicle specification information (see FIG. 2) regarding the vehicle from the vehicle specification storage area 18 to the temporary information storage area 17 (step 4).

Next, the work load calculation program 22 determines whether or not the stop positions adjacent to each other among the plurality of stop positions included in the operation route (hereinafter, referred to as “the number of passengers to be loaded by the user” and the desired load amount and the desired load volume of the luggage). Section), the number of passengers of the vehicle, and the load amount and load volume of the luggage are calculated (step 5).

Next, the arithmetic processing unit 6 executes the judgment program 23. Then, the determination program 23 determines whether the number of passengers of the vehicle is less than or equal to the number of passengers (capacity) of the vehicle in the entire operation route (that is, all sections) (step 6).

When the number of passengers on the vehicle is less than or equal to the number of passengers on the entire operation route (Yes in Step 6), the determination program 23 determines that the load capacity of the vehicle is determined based on the relationship with the number of passengers on the vehicle. It is determined whether or not the total load capacity of the vehicle is less than or equal to the loadable capacity of the vehicle (step 7).

Next, when the load capacity of the luggage is less than or equal to the loadable capacity on the entire operation route (Yes in step 7), the determination program 23 determines that the load volume of the luggage on the vehicle is determined based on the relationship with the number of passengers of the vehicle. It is determined whether or not the total load capacity of the vehicle is less than or equal to the loadable volume of the vehicle (step 8).

After that, when the load volume of the luggage is less than or equal to the loadable volume in the entire operation route (Yes in step 8), the determination program 23 determines that the user can make a reservation, and the arithmetic processing unit 6 causes the operation to be performed. The plan storage program 24 is executed (step 9).

Then, the operation plan storing program 24 causes the desired use date (scheduled operation date) input in step 1, the estimated operation time frame including the desired use time zone, the operation route calculated in step 3, and the step 4 in step 4. The extracted vehicle specification information is associated with the number of passengers of the vehicle on the operation route calculated in step 5, the load amount and the load volume of the luggage, and stored in the operation plan information storage area 7 as one operation plan. .

In other words, the operation plan includes an operation route, an estimated operation date, an estimated operation time frame, specification information of the vehicle to be operated, passenger number information on the operation route, and luggage amount information on the operation route. The information storage area 7 stores the user's demand information including a desired boarding position, a desired unloading position, and a desired number of passengers of the user, a desired loading position of the luggage, a desired unloading position, a desired loading amount, and a desired loading volume. Remember.

This completes the user's reservation.

On the other hand, when the operation route includes a section in which the number of passengers in the vehicle exceeds the number of passengers that can be boarded (No in step 6), when the operation route includes a section in which the load capacity of the luggage exceeds the load capacity (No in step 7) ), and the operation route includes a section in which the load volume of the luggage exceeds the loadable volume (No in step 8), the determination program 23 determines that the user cannot reserve the reservation (step 10).

The processing of the operation management system 1 described above is executed every time the demand of the user is received. Therefore, after the reservation from one user is completed (that is, after the operation plan corresponding to the reserved user is stored in the operation plan information storage area 7), when the demand from the next user is received, In step 2, the route calculation program 21 determines that the operation plan is stored in the operation plan information storage area 7 (No in step 2).

Then, the route calculation program 21 extracts the operation plan from the operation plan information storage area 7, and newly receives the desired boarding position and desired unloading position, the desired loading position, and the desired unloading position for the operation route included in the operation plan. The operation route is changed so as to incorporate the position (step 11).

After that, the process proceeds to step 5 described above, and the work load calculation program 22 determines, based on the desired number of passengers of the user, the desired load capacity and the desired load volume of the luggage, in the plurality of sections included in the changed operation route, The number of passengers in the vehicle and the load capacity and load volume of the luggage are calculated.

Specifically, the manpower calculation program 22 newly sets the number of passengers of the vehicle on the operating route before the change to the number of passengers corresponding to the desired riding position and the desired getting off position newly incorporated in the operating route. Add the desired number of passengers accepted and calculate the number of passengers of the vehicle on the changed operating route.

Further, the manpower calculation program 22 determines the load amount corresponding to the load position between the desired loading position and the desired unloading position, which is newly incorporated in the operating route, among the loading amounts of the vehicles on the operating route before the change. , The newly accepted desired load capacity is added to calculate the load capacity of the luggage on the changed operation route.

Further, the manpower calculation program 22 sets the loading volume corresponding to the desired loading position and the desired unloading position, which are newly incorporated in the operating route, among the loading volumes of the vehicles on the operating route before the change. , The newly accepted desired loading volume is added to calculate the loading volume of the luggage on the changed operation route.

Next, as in steps 6 to 8 described above, the determination program 23 determines whether the number of passengers of the vehicle is equal to or less than the number of passengers (capacity) of the vehicle in the entire operating route after the change (step 6). Whether the load capacity of the luggage is less than or equal to the load capacity of the vehicle in the entire operation route after the change due to the relationship with the number of passengers (step 7), It is sequentially determined whether the load volume of the luggage is less than or equal to the loadable volume in the entire operation route (step 8).

When all of Steps 6 to 8 are satisfied (Yes in Steps 6 to 8), the judgment program 23 judges that the user can make a reservation this time, and the operation plan storage program 24 updates the operation route. , Update the number of passengers in the vehicle, the load capacity and the load volume of luggage.

As a result, the operation plan storage program 24 updates the operation plan stored in the operation plan information storage area 7. On the other hand, when at least one of Steps 6 to 8 is not satisfied (No in Steps 6 to 8), the judgment program 23 judges that the user's reservation cannot be made this time.

Thereafter, until the user's reservation for the operation plan is closed, the user's demand is accepted, and the user's reservation or non-reservation is appropriately repeated.

Then, when the user's reservation is closed, the operation plan information storage area 7 has an operation plan (for example, as shown in FIG. 5) in which a plurality of users get on and off and pick up and transport parcels. Hereinafter, the fixed operation plan) is stored. The fixed operation plan is the scheduled operation date, the estimated operation time frame, the confirmed operation route, the vehicle specification information corresponding to the operation route (see FIG. 2), the number of passengers of the vehicle in each section, the load capacity of the luggage, and It includes the loading volume.

<Effect>
In the operation management system 1, the route calculation program 21 calculates an operation route based on the desired boarding position and the desired exiting position of the user and the desired loading position and the desired unloading position of the luggage, and the manpower calculation program 22 Calculates the number of passengers on the vehicle along the operating route and the load amount and load volume of luggage.

The determination program 23 determines whether the number of passengers in the vehicle is less than or equal to the number of passengers in the vehicle, the load amount of the luggage on the vehicle is less than or equal to the loadable amount of the vehicle, or the load volume of the luggage on the vehicle can be loaded by the vehicle. Determine if it is less than or equal to the volume. As a result, the user and the luggage can be efficiently mixed and transported.
