  In the conventional system, for example, when a route bus is used, when the user is on the correct bus, the destination can be correctly reached by the provided guidance information. However, if there are multiple routes at one bus stop, it may not be clear which route can reach the destination, or the destination of the bus may be in the reverse direction on the same route. However, it is not always possible to get on smoothly. Especially in unguided places, there are many troubles that people get on the wrong route or a bus in the opposite direction.

  Therefore, even if the conventional system was used, it was necessary to confirm whether or not the bus was on the correct route.

  In addition, if you get on a bus with the wrong route or direction, there is a problem that the provided guidance information cannot be used.

  Also, if there are multiple bus stops near the destination, several routes are possible. However, since it is necessary for the user to check and specify a bus stop where the user can get off, the selection is complicated, and it is not always possible to obtain information that allows the user to get on the appropriate route smoothly.

<Detection of bus ride>
When the user holds the mobile phone 3 (or IC type ticket 33 ') over the boarding ticket information reading unit 21 when boarding the bus 2, the boarding ticket information reading unit 21 displays the user's ticket information storage unit. The boarding ticket ID (IC11: C200011) stored in 33 is read, and the bus ID (BUS13: 1001) of the bus 2 and the boarding ticket ID (IC11) are transmitted to the operation management system 10.

  When the passenger management unit 13 receives the bus ID (BUS13) and the ticket ID (IC11) from the bus 2, the passenger management unit 13 updates the state of the passenger management information to “during boarding”.

  When the state of the passenger management information is updated to “during boarding”, the route update unit 14 determines whether the recommended bus (BUS12) of the passenger management information matches the received boarding bus ID (BUS13).

  The route update unit 14 confirms the user's boarding bus as the recommended bus when the recommended bus (BUS12) in the passenger management information matches the boarding bus ID (BUS13). Then, the route updating unit 14 obtains the nearest bus stop (STOP 13: R6 chome) included in the bus stop list of the route operated by the boarding bus (BUS 13) that has been confirmed as the recommended bus, and the planned bus stop (STOP 14) under the passenger management information. ).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the received boarding bus ID (BUS15: 1003) does not match the recommended bus (BUS12), the route updating unit 14 acquires the route and the operating direction of the boarding bus (BUS15) from the route information. To do.

  It is assumed that the route update unit 14 detects that the route (LINE13: R11) of the boarding bus (BUS15) is different from the available route (LINE12).

  When the route update unit 14 includes the route (LINE13) of the user's boarding bus 2 in the available route list (LINE12) as compared to the available route list (LINE12) reaching the destination (TOUR11). In the list of the nearest bus stops (STOP13) that has already been acquired, the bus stop ID (STOP14) of the bus stop that passes on the route of the boarding bus (LINE13) is specified, and the specified bus stop ID is scheduled to drop off in the passenger management information Set to bus stop.

  At the same time, the route updating unit 14 updates the recommended bus (BUS12) of the passenger management information with the bus ID (BUS15: 1003) of the user's boarding bus.

<Bus transfer information>
(1) When the user gets on a bus with a different direction of operation When the bus on which the user gets is the same bus route as the recommended bus (BUS12), but with a different direction of operation (BUS16: 1002), A message notifying that the direction is opposite is transmitted to the mobile phone 3.

  The route update unit 14 requests the operation management unit 12 to obtain the bus route (LINE14: R01) of the bus ID (BUS16) of the bus on which the user has boarded and the operation direction from the operation information, and from the route list, the bus The bus stop list (STOP 15: S station, S3 chome,...) Scheduled to stop in the future (BUS16) is acquired.

  Furthermore, the route update unit 14 acquires a scheduled stop at the stop (STOP 16: none) when the user gets on the bus (BUS16) on the bus line (LINE14) from the destination stop information and the route information.

  When the route update unit 14 detects that the planned stop bus stop (STOP 16) is not included in the bus stop list (STOP 15), the route update unit 14 determines that the route is the same route but the direction of travel is different, and gets off at the next bus stop. Generate a message to change to the bus in the opposite direction.

(2) When boarding a bus on a route different from the route notified by the user If the bus on which the user has boarded does not arrive at any bus stop in the list of scheduled getting-off bus stops (STOP 13), a message notifying the transfer of the bus Is transmitted to the mobile phone 3.

  The route updating unit 14 acquires the nearest bus stop (STOP 13) of the destination from the destination stop information. Furthermore, the route update unit 14 requests the operation management unit 12 to check the available route list (LINE12) and the available route list (LINE12) that reach the nearest bus stop (STOP13) from the route information. A list of bus stops (STOP 17: S station, S3 chome, South A7 chome, West A,..., R6 chome, R station,...) That the bus of the route is scheduled to pass through is acquired. Further, the route update unit 14 determines from the route information, from the bus stop list (M station square, F, P5 chome, ..., west A, ...) of the route (LINE15: R77) of the user's boarding bus (BUS17: 1006), The bus stop (STOP 18: P5-chome,..., West A,...) Scheduled to pass in the future after the current bus stop is acquired.

  The route update unit 14 checks whether the subsequent scheduled bus stop (STOP 18) of the user's boarding bus (BUS 17) is included in the bus stop (STOP 17) on which the available route is scheduled to pass. Here, when the scheduled bus stop (STOP 18) is included in the bus stop (STOP 17) on which the available route is scheduled to pass, it can be seen that the boarding bus can be changed to a bus on the available route.

  The route updating unit 14 acquires a transfer bus stop (STOP 19: West A) that can be changed and an available route (LINE 16: R88, R01, RH01) including the transfer bus stop (STOP 19).

  Then, the route update unit 14 generates a message notifying the transfer to the bus route (LINE 16) at the transfer bus stop (STOP 19).

  After arriving at the transfer bus stop, the recommended bus from the transfer bus stop is identified and notified to the user by the processing described as <Recommended Bus Setting>.

  The notification unit 15 transmits the message generated by the route update unit 14 to the mobile phone 3 immediately after generation. Moreover, the notification part 15 may transmit a message when the boarding bus approaches the transfer bus stop based on the operation information.

  In addition, the route update part 14 cannot use the route of the boarding bus (BUS17) of the user to reach the planned stop at the stop (STOP13) near the destination, and the list of routes that can be used at the bus stop (STOP18) scheduled to pass after that. When it is detected that there is no bus stop that can be transferred to (LINE12), a message is issued to reacquire the transfer bus stop after boarding the bus in the opposite direction.

  After the user who has received the message from the notification unit 15 gets off the boarding bus (BUS17), the transfer from the getting-off bus stop is performed by the process of <transfer guidance> based on the bus stop passing in the reverse direction from the getting-off bus stop. The user is notified of the guidance.

<Detection of getting off bus>
When the route update unit 14 determines that the user's boarding bus (BUS13) matches the recommended bus, the passenger management unit 13 acquires the scheduled stop bus stop (STOP14) of the passenger management information. Further, the passenger management unit 13 refers to the operation information, and based on the current position of the bus (BUS13) on which the user (USER11) has boarded, the next bus stop to pass is the planned stop at the stop of the user (USER11) (STOP14). ).

  When the next bus stop of the bus (BUS 13) is the scheduled stop bus stop (STOP 14), the passenger management unit 13 generates a message notifying that the user will get off at the next bus stop.

  At this time, the passenger management unit 13 requests the operation management unit 12 to notify the driver of the bus (BUS13) that there is a passenger scheduled to get off at the next bus stop (STOP14). In response to this request, the operation management unit 12 transmits to the bus (BUS 13) a notification of a scheduled stop of the bus stop (STOP 14).

  When the bus (BUS13) arrives at the bus stop (STOP14) and the user holds the mobile phone 3 over the getting-off ticket information reading unit 22 when getting off the bus 2, the getting-off ticket information reading unit 22 is The ticket ID (IC11) stored in the ticket information storage unit 33 is read, and the bus ID (BUS13) and the read ticket ID (IC11) of the user are transmitted to the operation management system 10.

  The operation management unit 12 records the currently stopped bus stop ID at the current position of the operation information and transmits it to the passenger management unit 13.

  If the scheduled bus stop (STOP14) of the passenger management information and the current bus stop (STOP20: R6-chome) acquired from the operation information are the same, the passenger management unit 13 sets the status of the passenger management information to “discarded”. And the user's getting-on / off notification service is terminated.

  The passenger management unit 13 determines the future bus ID (BUS13) from the route information when the scheduled stop bus stop (STOP14) of the passenger management information is different from the bus stop at the current position (STOP21: West A) acquired from the operation information. A list of bus stops scheduled to pass through (STOP 22: R6-chome, R station,..., S bridge) is acquired, and it is determined whether the bus stop list scheduled to pass (STOP 22) includes the scheduled stop bus stop (STOP 14). If the list of bus stops scheduled to pass (STOP 22) includes the planned stop bus stop (STOP 14), it means that the destination has not yet been reached. The passenger management part 13 produces | generates the message which notifies that it has not reached | attained the stop scheduled bus stop.

  On the other hand, if the user's scheduled stop bus stop (STOP 14) is different from the bus stop at the current position (STOP 21) acquired from the operation information, the passenger management unit 13 adds the scheduled stop bus stop (STOP 22) to the list of scheduled stop bus stops (STOP 22). When STOP14) is not included, it means that the passenger cannot get off at the destination. Therefore, the passenger management unit 13 generates a message notifying the transfer of the bus.

  After the user who has received this message gets off the bus (BUS13), the user is notified of transfer guidance from the stop at the getting-off bus stop by the process described as <Bus Transfer Guidance>.

  In addition, since the user is notified of the transfer guidance message after the wrong boarding, even when getting off at the transfer bus stop indicated in the notified message, the process described as <Bus transfer guidance> The user is notified of transfer guidance from the getting-off bus stop (transfer bus stop).

<Detection of getting on or off the bus>
When the user gets on or off the bus 2, the boarding ticket information reading unit 21 or the boarding ticket information reading unit 22 gets on the boarding ticket information storage unit 33 (or IC type ticket 33 ') of the mobile phone 3. This is detected by reading the ticket ID (hereinafter referred to as “reading the ticket ID”).

  In recent years, fare settlement processing has been carried out by adopting the RFID method and reading the information stored in the IC-type ticket at the information reading port of the fare settlement device set at the entrance or exit of bus 2. Has become commonplace.

  Therefore, by configuring the bus 2 boarding ticket information reading unit 21 and the getting off ticket information reading unit 22 to be included in the fare settlement apparatus, the ticket information storage unit 33 (or the mobile phone 3) at the time of fare settlement. The user's operation of holding the IC type ticket 33 ') over the fare settlement apparatus can detect the user's boarding or getting off and obtain the boarding ticket ID.

  By the way, there are mainly the following three forms of bus fare settlement.

Prepayment method: When boarding, pay a fixed fare with the fare adjustment device at the entrance, and when leaving the vehicle, get off as it is. Value adjustment method: When boarding, record the boarding bus stop with the boarding fare settlement assistance device (boarding confirmation device), and when getting off, the fare settlement device at the exit gate will calculate the fare from the boarding bus stop to the getting off bus stop, and the calculated fare In the case of the variable payment method, since there are opportunities to read the ticket ID both at the time of boarding and at the time of getting off, it is possible to detect the user's boarding and getting off. Accordingly, an operation for the user to simply notify the user of getting on / off is not required.

  However, in the case of the prepaid system or the postpaid system, the ticket reading is performed only at the time of getting on or getting off, so that it is not possible to detect one of the user getting on or getting off. In this case, it is also possible to create an opportunity to read the ticket ID by asking the user to hold the mobile phone 3 or the IC-type ticket 33 ′ while either getting on or getting off.

<Judgment of getting on or off using GPS>
Using the GPS function of the bus 2 and the mobile phone 3, it is possible to determine whether the user is getting on or off the bus 2 based on the current position, instead of detecting whether the user is getting on or off. In this case, the current position acquisition unit 35 of the mobile phone 3 and the current position acquisition unit 23 of the bus 2 have a function of acquiring GPS position information.

  Whichever payment method is used, it is not necessary to request the user to perform an operation for reading the ticket ID. Further, it is not necessary to incorporate the boarding ticket information reading unit 21 and the boarding ticket information reading unit 22 when getting off the bus 2 into the fare settlement apparatus.

(1) Judgment during boarding On routes where the post-payment method is adopted, the user gets on the bus 2 as it is when boarding, so whether the user is on the bus 2 using the GPS position information (on boarding) Determine.

  The current position acquisition unit 35 acquires GPS position information at a predetermined interval, and transmits the acquired position information and mail address to the operation management system 10.

  The current position acquisition unit 23 of the bus 2 acquires GPS position information when the bus 2 stops or passes through the bus stop, and transmits the acquired position information and the bus ID of the bus 2 to the operation management system 10. The operation management unit 12 receives the bus position information and the bus ID, and updates the current position of the bus 2 in the operation information.

  The current position acquisition unit 35 of the mobile phone 3 acquires GPS position information at a predetermined opportunity or interval, and transmits the acquired position information and mail address to the operation management system 10. The passenger management unit 13 receives the user location information and the mail address, adds the item of the current location to the passenger management information in the passenger management information storage unit 105, and records the received location information. Then, the operation management unit 12 acquires the position information of the bus 2 from the operation information, and when the position information of the user who gets on the bus 2 and the position information of the bus 2 are within a certain distance, Is determined to be on the bus 2.

(2) Judgment of getting off Especially in the route where the prepaid method is adopted, the user gets off the bus 2 as it is when getting off. Therefore, the GPS position information is used to determine whether the user has got off the bus 2 (has already got off). judge.

  The current position acquisition unit 23 of the bus 2 and the current position acquisition unit 35 of the mobile phone 3 perform the same processing as the determination during boarding (1). The operation management unit 12 acquires the position information of the bus 2 from the operation information, and when the position information of the user on the bus 2 and the position information of the bus 2 are separated by a certain distance or more, the user It is determined that the car has got off from bus 2 (has already got off).

<Confirmation of getting off bus stop>
There are times when the user wants to confirm whether he / she has got off at an appropriate bus stop (scheduled bus stop). In this case, the user reads the two-dimensional code indicating the bus stop ID posted at the bus stop where the user got off at the current location acquisition unit 32 of the mobile phone 3, and the read bus stop ID (STOP 23) and mail address (USER 11). 10 to send.

  The route setting unit 11 of the operation management system 10 determines from the passenger management information whether the user status of the received mail address is “discarded”, and if the status is “discarded”, the received bus stop The ID is notified to the passenger management unit 13.

  The passenger management unit 13 determines whether the received bus stop ID is included in the scheduled stop bus stop of the passenger management information. If the received bus stop ID (STOP 23) is included in the scheduled stop bus stop (STOP 14), a message for notifying that the vehicle has got off correctly is generated.

  If the received bus stop ID (STOP 23) is not included in the scheduled stop bus stop (STOP 14), the route update unit 14 is notified and the above-described <bus transfer guidance> process is performed.

<Guide to other destinations>
As shown in FIG. 8, when the passenger management information is expanded and a plurality of destinations are set, the second destination other than the first destination corresponding to the first notification is obtained by the bus 2 on which the user gets on. When you reach your destination, you can be notified of changes in your destination.

  The operation management system 10 receives “B” and “D” as destinations from the destination acquisition unit 31 of the user's mobile phone 3 in advance, and sets a scheduled bus stop for each destination in the passenger management information. Keep it. Then, it is assumed that the route setting unit 11 has determined the first destination “B” as the recommended bus (BUS 18: 1003, route: R01).

  The route setting unit 11 detects the route (R95) of the boarding bus (BUS19) 2 when the bus (BUS19: 1006, route: R95) 2 on which the user boarded does not match the recommended bus (BUS18), Boarding bus 2 is scheduled to arrive at the bus stop (bus stop ID: STOP30) at the first destination “B” and arrives at the bus stop (bus stop ID: STOP31) at the second destination “D”. The time is calculated based on the route information and the operation information. When it is found that it is possible to reach the “D” scheduled bus stop earlier than the “B” scheduled bus stop, a message indicating that the destination has been changed from “B” to “D” is generated.

  The subsequent processing is the same as the processing described as <Bus transfer guidance>.

<Inquiry about selection of multiple destinations>
As described in <Guide to another destination> in the previous section, when the user designates a plurality of destinations, the route setting unit 11 waits for the current bus from the current location acquisition unit 32 of the mobile phone 3. When the bus stop ID of the bus stop being received is received, the scheduled stop bus stop corresponding to each destination is identified and set in the passenger management information. Further, the route setting unit 11 generates a selection list of designated multiple destinations, transmits the selection list to the mobile phone 3, and instructs the user which destination to go to.

  The route setting unit 11 acquires a list of routes (LINE11: R88, R01, R11) that can be boarded from the current bus stop from the route information based on the current bus (STOP11) received from the user's mobile phone 3. Here, from the destination stop information, both the route (R88, R01, R11) that passes the nearest bus stop of the destination “B” and the route (R88, R01) that passes the nearest bus stop of the destination “C”. You can see that it is reachable.

  The route setting unit 11 notifies that the destinations “B” and “C” are reachable, and generates a message for selecting the destination.

  The information receiving unit 34 of the mobile phone 3 receives the message transmitted by the notification unit 15. The user selects one from a plurality of destinations and transmits the selected destination to the operation management system 10.

  When the route setting unit 11 receives the selected destination (for example, “B”) transmitted from the mobile phone 3, the route setting unit 11 sets the recommended bus for the selected destination by the process described in <Recommended Bus Setting>. Perform the specified process.

  As described above, the user can know the recommended bus that reaches the nearest bus stop of the destination only by notifying the operation management system 10 of the destination that the user wants to go to and the bus stop that is waiting.

  Furthermore, even when the user gets on a bus different from the recommended bus, the user can obtain information on transfer to reach the nearest bus stop at the destination from the bus being boarded.

  In particular, if you get on a different bus by mistake, or if you get off on the way to avoid traffic congestion, even if you are unable to get on the bus that was first notified, Information for getting on and off is transmitted to 3. The user can save the trouble of reexamining the route information and can reach the destination by using the route bus even if there is no preliminary information about the operation route in an unfamiliar place.

  FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are process flows showing the flow of the recommended bus setting process by the route setting unit 11 and the bus transfer guidance process by the route changing unit 14 in one embodiment of the operation management system 10.

  The route setting unit 11 of the operation management system 10 acquires the current bus stop from the bus stop ID read and transmitted at the bus stop where the user is present (step S101). The route setting unit 11 acquires from the route information all bus stops of each route that currently passes the bus stop (step S102). The route setting unit 11 acquires a bus stop in the vicinity of the destination as the nearest bus stop from the destination stop information, and acquires a route passing through the nearest bus stop from each route in step S102 as an available route (step S103).

  The route setting unit 11 sets the bus ID of the bus closest to the current bus stop as the recommended bus in the passenger management information based on the operation information, and creates a message of the recommended bus. The notification unit 15 transmits a message of the recommended bus to the user's mobile phone 3 (step S104).

  When the boarding ticket information reading unit 21 on boarding the bus 2 detects the user's boarding and acquires and transmits the boarding ID, the passenger management unit 13 obtains the bus ID of the bus 2, boarding detection, and boarding ticket ID. Obtain (step S105).

  The route changing unit 14 checks whether the recommended bus of the user's passenger management information specified by using the ticket ID as a key matches the bus ID acquired in step S105 (step S106). If the user's boarding bus and the recommended bus match (Y in step S106), the route changing unit 14 sets the nearest bus stop passing on the route of the boarding bus as the scheduled bus stop under the passenger management information, and performs processing. Is finished (step S107).

  If the user's boarding bus does not match the recommended bus (N in step S106), the route changing unit 14 acquires the route and the direction of operation from the bus ID of the user's boarding bus (step S108).

  The route changing unit 14 checks whether the route of the boarding bus is the same as the recommended bus (step S109). If the route of the boarding bus is the same as the recommended bus (Y in step S109), the route changing unit 14 checks the operation direction (step S109). S110). If the travel direction of the boarding bus is opposite to that of the recommended bus (Y in step S110), the route changing unit 14 notifies the bus in the reverse direction of travel as a transfer bus (step S111). Thereafter, the process returns to the process of step S102.

  If the route of the boarding bus and the recommended bus is not the same (N in Step S109), the route changing unit 14 acquires the nearest bus stop through which the route of the boarding bus 2 passes based on the destination (Step S112). The route changing unit 14 returns to the processing in step S107 when the nearest bus stop can be acquired in the processing in step S112 (Y in step S113).

  If the nearest bus stop cannot be obtained in the process of step 112 (N in step S113), the route changing unit 14 obtains a route (transfer route) that can reach the nearest bus stop of the destination (step S114). Further, the route changing unit 14 acquires a bus stop (transfer bus stop) that can be transferred from the route of the boarding bus to the transfer route acquired in step S114 based on the route information (step S115).

  In step S115, the route changing unit 14 checks whether a transfer bus stop has been acquired (step S116). If there is a transfer bus stop (Y in step S116), the nearest bus stop on the transfer route is scheduled to be disembarked in the passenger management information. A bus stop is set and a message notifying the transfer is generated (step S117). The notification unit 15 transmits the message generated by the process of step S117 to the mobile phone 3 (step S118).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S116 that there is no transfer bus stop (N in step S116), the route changing unit 14 stops the transfer guidance (step S119).

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated by embodiment, it cannot be overemphasized that a various deformation | transformation is possible for this invention in the range of the main point.

  In addition, the route setting unit 11, the operation management unit 12, the passenger management unit 13, the route update unit 14, and the notification unit 15 of the operation management system 10 disclosed as the embodiment can be constructed as a program, and the program is read by a computer. By being executed, the computer functions as the operation management system 10.

  Furthermore, the destination acquisition unit 31, the current location acquisition unit 32, the information reception unit 34, and the current position acquisition unit 35 of the mobile phone 3 can be constructed as programs, and the programs are read and executed by a computer in the mobile phone 3. Thus, the functions as these processing units are realized.

  In addition, the boarding ticket information reading unit 21, the boarding ticket information reading unit 22 and the current position acquisition unit 23 installed on the bus 2 can be constructed as programs, and the program is installed on the bus 2. These functions as processing units are realized by being read and executed by a computer.
