  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 100 denotes an operation management system. The operation management system 100 circulates a predetermined area A under the operation management center 1 that manages the system 100 and a plurality of the operation management center 1. It is mainly composed of one or a plurality of garbage collection vehicles 10 for collecting the waste of the station 20.

  The garbage collection vehicle 10 periodically receives radio waves from a plurality of (for example, four) GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites 30 to determine the current vehicle position, and obtains positioning data such as latitude / longitude information, The data is transmitted to the operation management center 1 via the data communication network N.

  In the operation management center 1, a center device 1a (for example, a server system) is provided, communication control with the garbage collection vehicle 10 is performed by the center device 1a, and data related to the work of the garbage collection vehicle 10 is centrally managed. It is configured to be. That is, the center device 1a includes a center side communication unit 1b for receiving data transmitted from the garbage truck 10 and a recording unit 1c for recording the received data.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the garbage truck 10 is configured such that an on-vehicle device 11 is mounted in a cabin 10a that is a vehicle cab, and the on-vehicle device 11 controls operations of peripheral devices.

  In the cabin 10a, a GPS communication unit 12 that receives radio waves from the GPS satellite 30 and measures the latitude and longitude of the vehicle, and a data communication device for communicating with the operation management center 1 via the data communication network N. 13 are provided, and each is connected to the vehicle-mounted device 11. As the data communication network N, for example, an existing mobile phone network or the Internet network can be applied, and a packet switching system is preferable as a data communication system.

  Further, in the cabin 10a, various data are recorded in the vehicle-mounted device 11, and a recording medium (for example, a non-volatile memory such as a Compact Flash (registered trademark) card) 14 and a printer 15 in which the recorded contents are not lost even when power supply is interrupted. And are connected. The storage medium 14 can be inserted and removed freely, and data can be read and written by the center device 1a of the operation management center 1.

  In the storage medium 14, all station information in the predetermined area A (station name (collection location name), ID number unique to each station, latitude / longitude data, etc.) is recorded in advance as a station list (overall list). .

  In addition, the station list of the storage medium 14 records whether the station is a single station or a collective station in which a plurality of store stations (partial stations) are collected in one place. , The incidental information of the gathering station is also recorded.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the case of a shopping street facing the street, in the stores X1, X2, and X3, one collective station X is set as a common waste collection point of these stores. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6B, in the case of a general shopping center, the stores X1, X2, and X3 have one collection station X as a common waste collection point for these stores.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the collective station X is initially displayed on the display 17a of the operation panel 17 (to be described later) together with the single stations Y, Z and V. The collective station is specified by the operator. And the incidental information of the collective station is displayed, the stations (partial stations) X1, X2, and X3 of each store constituting the collective station are displayed, and the item "other" is also displayed. It has become. The “other” item display is provided in consideration of collecting waste that does not correspond to any of the partial stations.

  In addition, collection history data is recorded in the storage medium 14 for each collection operation for every station (including partial stations).

  The collection history data described above includes date and time information, weighing result of collected waste, latitude / longitude data (the above average value), station name, station-specific ID number, telephone number as information unique to the vehicle-mounted device 11, A flag (data communication area identification flag) for identifying whether or not the data communication network N is within range. Note that the entire list is stored in a state of being sorted based on latitude or longitude.

  The telephone number of the vehicle-mounted device 11 in the collection history data is used in the operation management center 1 to specify which vehicle-mounted device 11 (garbage collection vehicle 10) the collection history data to be managed belongs to. That is, for example, when each of the plurality of storage media 14 brought in from the plurality of garbage trucks 10 is to be identified as to which on-board device 11, the telephone number data recorded therein is referred to. Can be easily identified.

  In addition, the data communication area identification flag of the collection history data is determined when the contents of the storage medium 14 are read out by the center device 1a of the operation management center 1 after the garbage collection vehicle 10 finishes patrol of the predetermined area A. This is used to select whether the station 20 cannot communicate outside the communication range and the collection history has not been updated.

  Further, the printer 15 is provided for printing the weight of the waste collected at each station 20 and the billing amount converted based on the weight and outputting it as a bill.

  It is possible to measure the total weight of waste accumulated so far (currently loaded total weight) and the weight of waste collected at each station (collected amount of waste at each station) in the rear 10b of the vehicle A self-weighing scale 16 is provided. Specifically, when waste is collected at the station and measurement is performed by the self-weighing scale 16, the current total load weight is measured, and the total total load weight until the previous time is subtracted from the present total load weight. Thus, the amount of waste collected at the current station is calculated.

  The dead weight 16 has a display 16a for displaying the measured weight value, and a weighing start button 16b for instructing the start of weighing and the printing start by the printer 15.

  In addition, the self-weight scale 16 is connected to the vehicle-mounted device 11, and when the weighing start button 16b is pressed, the weighing result is stored as collected history data together with date / time information, station name, station-specific ID number, latitude / longitude data, and the like. It is recorded on the medium 14 and simultaneously transmitted to the operation management center 1 by the data communication device 13. When the measurement result is recorded in the storage medium 14, a telephone number and a data communication area identification flag as information unique to the vehicle-mounted device are simultaneously recorded as collection history data.

  That is, the cleaning worker collects the waste at each station 20 and presses the weighing start button 16b to start weighing, and the weight of the waste as the weighing result, the billing amount based on the weight, and the like are printed by the printer 15. At the same time, collection history data including the weight of the collected waste is recorded in the storage medium 14 and transmitted to the operation management center 1 if data communication is possible. Thus, the dead weight 16 is provided as a measuring means.

  An operation panel 17 is provided at the vehicle rear portion 10b. The operation panel 17 includes a display 17a as a display means for displaying a plurality of (for example, four) station names around the vehicle, and an operator selects a current station from the displayed list of station names. And an operation button 17b for specifying.

  The operation panel 17 is connected to the vehicle-mounted device 11, and the station name selected by operating the operation button 17 b is specified as the name of the station (current station) 20 that currently performs the collection work, and is output to the vehicle-mounted device 11. Thus, the station name selected by the operator on the operation panel 17 is output to the printer 15, the storage medium 14, and the operation management center 1 as the station name in the collection history data.

  That is, as will be described later, when the current station is specified by the operation panel 17, the vehicle-mounted device 11 refers to the storage medium 14 to determine whether the station is a normal station or a collective station. The cleaning operator collects the waste and presses the weighing start button 16b to start the weighing, and the weight of the waste as the weighing result, the billing amount based on the weight, and the like are printed by the printer 15. At the same time, collection history data including the weight of the collected waste is recorded in the storage medium 14 and transmitted to the operation management center 1 if data communication is possible. On the other hand, when the station is the collective station, when the collective station is specified by the worker, the incidental information of the collective station is displayed, and the partial stations X1, X2, and X3 constituting the collective station are displayed. Is called. The operator selects a corresponding partial station from the information associated with the collective station, collects waste, and starts weighing by pressing the weighing start button 16b. Based on the weight of waste as a result of weighing, The billing amount and the like are printed by the printer 15. At the same time, collection history data including the weight of the collected waste is recorded in the storage medium 14 and transmitted to the operation management center 1 if data communication is possible. This process is performed for every partial station that constitutes the collective station. Thus, the onboard equipment 11 has a function as a determination means.

  When the worker interrupts the collection work and patrols the stations, the operation button 17b of the operation panel 17 is pressed, and a signal indicating the interruption is output to the storage medium 14 and the operation management center 1. Is done.

  The garbage collection vehicle 10 is provided with vehicle information output means 18, and vehicle information such as vehicle speed information, side brake information, and engine speed is input to the vehicle-mounted device 11 from the vehicle information output means 18. . The vehicle-mounted device 11 determines whether or not the vehicle has stopped based on the vehicle information from the vehicle information output means 18.

  Next, in the operation management system 100 configured as described above, an example of a process in which one garbage collection vehicle 10 circulates the predetermined area A and performs waste collection work will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. To do.

  First, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as “S”) 101, the vehicle-mounted device 11 performs GPS positioning using the GPS receiver 12, and the obtained latitude / longitude positioning data of the vehicle is transmitted via the data communication network N. The data is transmitted to the center device 1a of the operation management center 1. Thereby, in the operation management center 1, it can always grasp | ascertain which point each garbage truck 10 exists.

  Next, in S102, the vehicle-mounted device 11 determines whether or not the vehicle has stopped based on the input information from the vehicle information output means 18, and if the vehicle has not stopped, repeats the processing in S101, If has stopped, it progresses to S103 and performs the positioning of the point.

  Next, when proceeding to S104, the vehicle-mounted device 11 extracts a predetermined number of stations 20 (station name, latitude / longitude information) that are close to the own vehicle from the station list, and sorts them according to the distance from the own vehicle. Station candidate extraction processing is performed and displayed on the display 17a of the operation panel 17. That is, the name of the station 20 currently performing the collection work is displayed on the top as a candidate on the display 17a.

  Next, in S105, the worker of the garbage truck 10 determines whether the station 20 at the current position is the same as the name displayed at the top of the display 17a. Proceeding to S106, the correct station is selected from the other station candidates displayed on the display 17a, and the station name is specified by the operation button 17b.

  If the station 20 at the current position is the same as the name displayed at the top of the display 17a, the process proceeds to S107, where the station is confirmed and specified.

  If the vehicle starts to travel before the station is identified in S106 or S107, the processing from S101 is repeated again.

  When the station is specified in S106 or S107, the process proceeds to S108, and the vehicle-mounted device 11 refers to the storage medium 14 and determines whether or not the specified station is an aggregation station. If the identified station is not the collective station as a result of the determination, that is, if it is a normal station, the process proceeds to S109, and the collection measurement process in the normal station described later is executed. In the case of the collective station, the process proceeds to S110, and the collection measurement process in the collective station described later is executed.

  After executing the collection measurement process in S109 or S110, the process proceeds to S111, where the vehicle-mounted device 11 determines whether the current station position is within the range of the data communication network N. If communication is possible, the process proceeds to S112. The vehicle-mounted device 11 sends the collected history data (date and time information, station name, ID number unique to each station, latitude / longitude data, collected waste measurement result (current) to the operation management center 1 via the data communication network N. Send the total weight loaded, the amount of waste collected at the current station)), etc. And in the center apparatus 1a of the operation management center 1, the garbage collection vehicle 10 is specified based on the telephone number of the onboard equipment 11 transmitted, and the received collection history data is recorded.

  After S112, the process proceeds to S113, where the transmitted collection history data is recorded in the storage medium 14. In this case, in addition to the above-mentioned signal transmitted to the operation management center 1, a telephone number and data communication area identification flag as information unique to the vehicle-mounted device are also recorded.

  If it is determined that the data communication network N is out of range as a result of the determination in S111, the vehicle-mounted device 11 does not transmit the above signal to the operation management center 1 and proceeds to S113 to transmit the above signal to the storage medium. 14 is recorded. At this time, the data communication area identification flag is recorded in a state indicating out of service area.

  After S113, the process proceeds to S114, where it is determined whether or not a patrol interruption signal is input via the operation panel 17 for some reason (for example, overloading), and the patrol interruption signal is input. If so, the process ends.

  If no patrol interruption signal is input as a result of the determination in S114, the process proceeds to S115, where it is determined whether all stations 20 in the predetermined area A have been visited, and all stations 20 are visited. If not, the process from S101 is repeated again. If all the stations 20 have been visited, the process proceeds to S116.

  If it is determined in S115 that all the stations have been visited and the process proceeds to S116, a discharge completion flag that is set when discharging the loaded waste at the waste disposal site or the like is set. This confirmation is repeatedly executed, and if the discharge completion flag is set, the program exits.

Next, the collection measurement processing routine in the normal station executed in S109 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, in S201, waste is collected by the worker, the process proceeds to S202, and the weighing start button 16b of the self-weight meter 16 is pressed, and the current total weight Mi is measured.

  Next, in S203, the self-weight meter 16 calculates the waste collection amount ΔMi at the current station by subtracting the previous total load weight from the current total load weight Mi.

  Then, the process proceeds to S204, where the self-weighing scale 16 displays the current total load weight Mi and the waste collection amount ΔMi at the current station on the display 16a and outputs them to the vehicle-mounted device 11. The vehicle-mounted device 11 The weight of the waste collected at the current station and the billing amount calculated based on the weight are printed on a predetermined sheet (invoice slip), and the routine is exited.

  When there is no waste to be collected at the current station, the fact that there is no collected material is input to the dead weight 16 by a predetermined operation of the operator, and the measurement start button 16b is pressed. This forces the waste weight to a value of zero. That is, if the measurement start button 16b is pressed without collecting waste in the vehicle, the value may not become zero as a result of measurement due to changes over time in the total weight of the waste accumulated so far, By forcing this to 0, it is possible to prevent erroneous charges.

Next, the collection measurement processing routine in the collective station executed in S110 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, in S301, the incidental information of the collective station is displayed on the display 17a of the operation panel 17. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the partial stations X1, X2, and X3 constituting the collective station and “others” are displayed. Is displayed.

  Next, the process proceeds to S302, and the worker selects a partial station from the collection station incidental information.

  Next, the process proceeds to S303, where the worker collects the waste of the partial station, and the process proceeds to S304, where the weighing start button 16b of the self-weigh scale 16 is pressed, and the current total gross weight Mi is measured.

  Next, in S305, the self-weight meter 16 calculates the waste collection amount ΔMpi at the current partial station by subtracting the previous total load weight from the current total load weight Mi.

  Next, proceeding to S306, the self-weighing scale 16 displays the current total load weight Mi and the waste collection amount ΔMpi at the current partial station on the display 16a and outputs them to the vehicle-mounted device 11, and the vehicle-mounted device 11 The printer 15 prints the weight of the waste collected at the current partial station and the billing amount calculated based on the weight on a predetermined sheet (invoice slip).

  Next, the process proceeds to S307, and the partial station that has completed the collection is deleted from the collective station incidental information on the display 17a of the operation panel 17.

  Then, the process proceeds to S308, where it is determined whether the number of partial stations remaining in the collective station incidental information on the display 17a has become zero. If the number of partial stations remaining in the collective station incidental information is not 0, the process proceeds to S309 to determine whether collection of the collective station is completed. In this determination, for example, when it can be determined that the garbage collection vehicle 10 has started traveling based on the vehicle information from the vehicle information output means 18, it is determined that the collection of the collecting station is completed.

  As a result of the determination in S309, if it is determined that the collection of the collective station is completed, the process proceeds to S310, and the collection amount of the partial stations (including “others”) remaining in the collective station incidental information is set to 0 (0 processing) And exit the program. If collection of the collecting station has not been completed yet, the processing from S302 is repeated. In this way, by setting the item “Other”, if waste that does not belong to any partial station is collected, the amount of waste collected is different from the amount collected at each partial station. The amount collected at each partial station can be accurately measured.

  As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the current station is specified, the vehicle-mounted device 11 refers to the storage medium 14 and determines whether the station is a normal station or a collective station. In this case, the cleaning worker collects the waste and presses the measurement start button 16b to start the measurement, and the printer 15 prints the weight of the waste as a result of the measurement, the amount billed based on the weight. On the other hand, when the station is the collective station, when the collective station is specified by the worker, the incidental information of the collective station is displayed, and the partial stations X1, X2, and X3 constituting the collective station are displayed. Is called. The operator selects a corresponding partial station from the information associated with the collective station, collects waste, and starts weighing by pressing the weighing start button 16b. Based on the weight of waste as a result of weighing, The billing amount and the like are printed by the printer 15. For this reason, even if there is an aggregate of a plurality of stations such as an aggregation station, it is possible to appropriately cope with the collection of waste and the work accompanying it, and the collection work can be performed efficiently. Become.
