Prior to the explanation of each functional unit of the operation management device 10, the composite route of the vehicle for which the operation management device 10 manages the operation will be described. A compound line consists of a main line and at least one branch line. A trunk line is a line on which vehicles are operated via a plurality of predetermined trunk line boarding points. FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the configuration of a trunk line. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the main line ML is composed of a route passing through the main line boarding / alighting areas A to F (sA to sF). Each of the main line boarding / alighting areas A to F is provided so as to be adjacent to or close to a station, a residential area, a commercial area, or the like. The route of the trunk line ML is configured in a ring shape in the example shown in FIG. 4, but is not limited to this example, and may be configured by a one-way route from the start point to the end point, a reciprocating route, or the like. ..

On the main line, for example, regular flights based on a preset operation plan (diamond) may be operated. The regular flight may be operated by, for example, a large vehicle, or may be operated by platooning of a plurality of vehicles. Further, on the main line, a special flight may be operated according to the demand forecast. The vehicle applied to the special flight is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a vehicle smaller than the vehicle used for the regular flight.

A branch line is a line in which vehicles are operated from at least one boarding point of a trunk line via at least one branch line boarding / alighting place. FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the configuration of a branch line. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the branch line BL is composed of a route starting and ending at the main line boarding / alighting area C. In the branch line BL, predetermined branch line boarding / alighting areas a to k (sa to sk) are set in advance, and branch line flights may be operated by the longest route via all of these branch line boarding / alighting areas. For example, at the time and time when the increase in demand is expected, the branch line BL via the longest route may be operated as a regular flight. Further, according to the request of the user, a temporary flight may be operated by a route passing through at least one branch line boarding / alighting area a to k (sa to sk).

By constructing such a compound line, for example, a user whose destination is a certain trunk line boarding / alighting point can board a branch line flight from the branch line boarding / alighting place closest to the user's location and end the branch line flight. You can change to a main line flight at the main line boarding / alighting point to reach the desired main line boarding / alighting point. Further, a user who has reached a certain trunk line boarding / alighting place by boarding a trunk line flight can reach a branch line boarding / alighting place of the branch line flight by switching to a branch line flight starting from the trunk line boarding / alighting place.

Each functional unit of the operation management device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 again. The acquisition unit 11 obtains desired information including the target boarding / alighting area, which is the destination of the user who is the user of the vehicle, the desired landing / alighting area, the desired arrival time at the target boarding / alighting area, and the departure point information indicating the user's departure point. get. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of desired information. As shown in FIG. 6, the desired information includes a target boarding / alighting place, a desired arrival time, and a departure place associated with a user ID that identifies the user. The desired information is input and transmitted, for example, at the user's terminal T2, and is received by the operation management device 10.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the main line boarding / alighting place which is the user's destination is included in the desired information, but when the user inputs the location information and the facility information indicating the user's destination, they are included. The nearest trunk line boarding / alighting place may be determined based on the location information, facility information, etc. of the above, and the determined trunk line boarding / alighting place may be included in the desired information as the target boarding / alighting place.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the position information of the user's terminal T2 is acquired as the departure place information, but the branch line boarding / alighting place determined based on the position information may be included in the desired information. However, the branch line boarding / alighting area may be directly designated and input by the user.

The extraction unit 12 refers to the main line operation information regarding the main line, and extracts the main flight to be boarded by the user for each user based on the target boarding / alighting place and the desired arrival time.

The main line operation information is information including at least the departure and arrival times at each main line boarding / alighting point of the main line flights operating the main line. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of trunk line operation information. As shown in FIG. 7, the trunk line operation information includes departure / arrival times at the trunk line boarding / alighting areas A to F associated with the trunk line flight ID that identifies the trunk line flight. In addition, the trunk line operation information further includes vehicle information regarding the vehicles constituting each trunk line flight. Specifically, the vehicle information indicates information on the platoon mode indicating whether or not each trunk flight is composed of platooning, information indicating the size of the vehicle, and whether it is a regular flight or a temporary flight. Includes attribute information. As will be described later, by referring to the vehicle information, it is determined whether or not the main flight includes a vehicle applicable to the branch line. Vehicles applicable to branch lines are some of the vehicles in the case where the main flight is composed of platooning by multiple vehicles, or vehicles that make up the main flight with specific attributes. is there. Here, the attribute that a vehicle applicable to a branch line should have is, for example, a temporary flight. Furthermore, the fact that it is a temporary flight and there are no passengers may be an attribute that a vehicle applicable to a branch line should have.

Specifically, the extraction unit 12 extracts the trunk flight arriving at the target boarding / alighting place by the desired arrival time as the trunk flight to be boarded by the user. For example, since the target boarding / alighting place of the user “U01” shown in FIG. 6 is “D” and the desired arrival time is “8:00”, the extraction unit 12 can board the trunk flight that the user “U01” should board. As the main line flight "M3" arriving at "7:55" at the main line boarding / alighting place D is extracted. The extraction unit 12 may further extract the trunk flights "M2" and "M1" that arrive at the trunk boarding / alighting area D before the desired arrival time "8:00".

In addition, the extraction unit 12 extracts the boarding area, which is the main line boarding / alighting place for the user to board the extracted main line flight, for each user based on the departure place information. Specifically, the extraction unit 12 extracts the nearest trunk line boarding / alighting place as the user's boarding place from the position indicated in the departure place information of the user. For example, when the nearest trunk line boarding / alighting place (x01, y01) of the user "U01" is the trunk line boarding / alighting place C, the extraction unit 12 uses the trunk line boarding / alighting place C, and the user "U01" uses the trunk line flight "U01". It is extracted as a boarding place for boarding "M3".

The user extraction unit 13 extracts users who board the same trunk flight at the same boarding area based on the trunk flight and the boarding area to be boarded by each user extracted by the extraction unit 12. As a result, a group of users who board the same trunk flight from the same trunk boarding area is formed.

The branch line route setting unit 14 sets the branch line route of the branch line flight starting from and ending at one main line boarding / alighting place. Specifically, the branch line route setting unit 14 sets a route via the branch line boarding / alighting point closest to each of a plurality of users who board the same main line flight with the one main line boarding / alighting place as a branch line route. To do.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of setting a branch line route. In the example shown in FIG. 8, users U01, U03, U07, U08, and U09 were extracted by the user extraction unit 13 as users who board the same trunk flight with the trunk line boarding area C (sC) as the boarding point. To do. The departure points of users U01, U03, U07, U08, and U09 are indicated by positions p01, p03, p07, p08, and p09, respectively. Since the nearest branch line boarding / alighting areas at these positions p01, p03, p07, p08, and p09 are branch line boarding / alighting areas sa, sc, sf, si, and sk, respectively, the branch line route setting unit 14 starts from the main line boarding / alighting area C. And as the end point, the route via the branch line boarding / alighting area sa, sc, sf, si, sk is set as the branch line route br.

The trunk line flight extraction unit 15 calculates the required time from the start point to the end point of the branch line flight operating the branch line route set by the branch line route setting unit 14. Specifically, the trunk line flight extraction unit 15 refers to the required time information of the branch line, and based on the information of the branch line set by the branch line route setting unit 14, from the start point to the end point of the branch line route. Calculate the required time of.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the required time information between the branch line boarding / alighting areas of the branch line. This required time information may be stored in the branch line operation information storage unit 30. As shown in FIG. 9, the required time information includes the required time (minutes) between each branch line boarding / alighting area.

Specifically, the main line flight extraction unit 15 starts at the main line boarding / alighting area C and sets the required time of the branch line route br via the branch line boarding / alighting areas sa, sc, sf, si, and sk as the main line boarding / alighting area C-. Branch line boarding / alighting area a 2 minutes, branch line boarding / alighting area a-branch line boarding / alighting area c 5 minutes, branch line boarding / alighting area c-branch line boarding / alighting area f 8 minutes, branch line boarding / alighting area f-branch line boarding / alighting area i The starting time is 27 minutes, which is the sum of the required time of 5 minutes, the required time of branch line boarding / alighting area i-branch line boarding / alighting area k, and the required time of branch line boarding / alighting area k-main line boarding / alighting area C of 1 minute. And as the end point, it is calculated as the required time of the branch line route br via the branch line boarding / alighting area sa, sc, sf, si, sk.

Further, the trunk line flight extraction unit 15 refers to the trunk line operation information, and at least the branch line route br is required from the departure time of the trunk line flight extracted by the user extraction unit 13 at the boarding place where the user boarded. From the trunk flights arriving at the boarding area before the time before the hour, the trunk flights including the vehicles applicable to the branch line are extracted.

For example, when the users U01, U03, U07, U08, and U09 who board the trunk line "M3" using the trunk line boarding area C (sC) as the boarding area are extracted by the user extraction unit 13, these users board. Since the branch line route br via the branch line boarding / alighting areas sa, sc, sf, si, and sk is set as the route of the branch line flight, the trunk line flight extraction unit 15 refers to the trunk line operation information (FIG. 7) and refers to the trunk line flight. From the departure time "7:47" of the main line boarding point C of "M3" to the time "7:20" 27 minutes before the required time of the branch line route br, the main line flights "M2" and " "M1" is extracted. Further, the trunk line flight extraction unit 15 extracts the trunk line flight “M2” which is a trunk line flight including a vehicle applicable to the branch line from among these extracted trunk line flights. That is, since the main line flight "M2" is operated by a platoon of three vehicles, some of the vehicles constituting the platoon can be applied to the branch line flight.

In the branch line flight setting unit 16, the vehicle included in the trunk line flight extracted by the trunk line flight extraction unit 15 is the trunk line on which the user extracted by the user extraction unit 13 rides on the branch line route set by the branch line route setting unit 14. A branch line flight that operates so as to return to the boarding place by the departure time at the boarding place where the user boarded is set.

That is, when the trunk line flight "M2" is extracted by the trunk line flight extraction unit 15 as a trunk line flight including a vehicle applicable to the branch line, the branch line flight setting unit 16 is, for example, as described above. Some vehicles in the platoon that make up the main flight "M2" will return the branch line route br to the main line boarding / alighting area C by the departure time "7:47" at the main line boarding / alighting area C of the main line flight "M3". Set the branch line service that operates as a temporary branch line flight.

Specifically, the branch line flight setting unit 16 generates branch line flight information including applicable vehicles, branch line routes, start points and end points of branch line routes, and departure / arrival times at branch line boarding / alighting points for the set temporary branch line flights. When the temporary branch line flight is set in this way, some vehicles in the platoon of the trunk line flight "M2" arriving at the trunk line boarding / alighting station C leave the platoon and use the trunk line boarding / alighting station C as the starting point and the ending point. It will be applied to temporary branch flights. In addition, a user who is on a temporary branch line flight can head to each destination by switching to the main line flight "M3" when the temporary branch line flight returns to the main line boarding / alighting area C. Further, the vehicle of the temporary branch line that has returned to the main line boarding / alighting place C may be formed in a platoon on the main line flight "M3", so that the user does not need to change trains.

The branch line flight setting unit 16 may generate a temporary branch line flight schedule indicating the departure / arrival time at each branch line boarding / alighting point of the set temporary branch line flight. For example, in the example of the branch line route br shown in FIG. 8, the branch line flight setting unit 16 temporarily sets the time before the predetermined grace time from the departure time “7:47” at the main line boarding / alighting area C of the main line flight “M3”. Set the return time at the main line boarding / alighting point C of the branch line flight. Subsequently, the branch line flight setting unit 16 sets the time obtained from the return time at the main line boarding / alighting area C by the required time from the branch line boarding / alighting area k to the main line boarding / alighting area C (see the required time information in FIG. 9). Set to the departure and arrival time in the field k. Subsequently, the branch line flight setting unit 16 sets the departure / arrival time at the branch line boarding / alighting area i as the time that is back from the departure / arrival time at the branch line boarding / alighting area k by the required time from the branch line boarding / alighting area i to the branch line boarding / alighting area k. Similarly, the departure / arrival times at the branch line boarding / alighting areas f, c, and a and the departure times at the trunk line boarding / alighting area C are also set based on the required time information illustrated in FIG.

The output unit 17 outputs the branch line flight information generated by the branch line flight setting unit 16. As described above, the branch line flight information includes the applicable vehicle, branch line route, and temporary branch line flight schedule (departure / arrival times at the start point, end point, and branch line boarding / alighting point of the branch line route) for the set temporary branch line flight. Specifically, the output unit 17 is, for example, a terminal T2 that has transmitted desired information based on user input, and transmits branch line flight information to the terminal T2 of a user who is on a temporary branch line flight. As a result, each user can recognize the information of the temporary branch line flight to which he / she should board. Further, the output unit 17 transmits the branch line flight information to the terminal T1 of the operation manager. Further, the output unit 17 transmits branch line flight information to the terminal T3 of the vehicle. In particular, in the case of the above exemplary description, the branch line flight information is transmitted to the terminal T3 of the vehicle of the trunk line flights "M2" and "M3".
