  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the delivery efficiency at the time of a delivery person delivering using a delivery vehicle can be easily estimated beforehand.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a delivery simulation apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 includes a delivery route search unit 11, a delivery availability confirmation processing unit 12, a delivery map creation unit 13, a data display unit 14, a data input unit 15, and data printing. The unit 16, the customer DB 21, the delivery DB 22, and the map DB 23 are included.

  The delivery simulation apparatus 10 is installed in, for example, a centralized delivery center for goods to be delivered or a retail chain store that performs delivery work, and is configured by an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer. The delivery simulation apparatus 10 may be configured by a mobile communication terminal that is carried by the deliverer. In this case, the customer DB 21, the delivery DB 22, and the map DB 23 are provided in the center server or the like, and the delivery simulation apparatus 10 may download and use various information from the center server.

  The delivery route search unit 11 performs a final arrival point (for example, centralized delivery) from the departure point (for example, a centralized distribution center where products (delivery products) to be delivered are collectively stored) via all roads near the delivery location. It has a function of executing various processes such as a function of searching for a delivery route that reaches the center. The route search process is executed using a known technique.

  The delivery permission confirmation processing unit 12 has a function of executing various processes for confirming whether or not a designated delivery area can be delivered within a predetermined time by a designated number of delivery vehicles.

  The delivery map creation unit 13 performs various processes such as a process for creating a delivery map showing the delivery route determined by the delivery route search unit 12 determined to be deliverable by the delivery permission confirmation processing unit 12. Has the function to execute.

  The data display unit 14 is configured by an information display device such as a liquid crystal display device. The data input unit 15 is configured by an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse. The data printing unit 16 is configured by an information output device such as a printer.

  The customer DB 21 is configured by a storage medium such as a RAM, and stores customer data of customers to be delivered. The delivery DB 22 is configured by a storage medium such as a RAM, and stores delivery information including products to be delivered and delivery locations. The map DB 23 is configured by a storage medium such as a ROM, and stores map data of an area that can be a delivery route.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of customer information stored in the customer DB 21. The customer information is information in which a customer code assigned in advance to uniquely identify each customer, the name (customer name) of the corresponding customer, and the address of the corresponding customer as the delivery location are associated with each other. is there.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of delivery information stored in the delivery DB 22. The delivery information is information associated with undelivered delivery products and their delivery locations, and is registered by an operator or automatically every time an order for delivery of products is received from a customer. For example, when the operator inputs the delivery product, the customer code of the corresponding customer, and the desired delivery date desired by the customer, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 assigns the order code, registers the order date and time, and stores the customer information by the customer code. The delivery location (customer address) and the delivery target customer (customer name) are specified and registered, and the desired delivery date is registered as the delivery date (scheduled delivery date). The order may be received via the Internet, or may be received by telephone or face-to-face. The delivery information is information in which various kinds of information related to delivery such as an order code given for each order, delivery location, delivery product, order date and time, delivery date are associated with each other. For the “delivery date”, the day of the week may be registered for customers who deliver on a predetermined day of the week.

Next, the operation of the delivery simulation apparatus 10 of this example will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the delivery permission confirmation process in the delivery simulation apparatus 10 of this example. Here, an example of processing for confirming whether or not delivery can be completed within a predetermined time when delivery is performed using the centralized delivery center S as a departure point and an arrival point will be described.

  In the delivery permission confirmation process, first, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 accepts designation of a delivery area by operating the input unit 15 of the operator (step S101). For example, a plurality of types of areas are determined in advance as the delivery area. In this example, a peripheral area of the centralized delivery center S as shown in FIG. 5 is designated as the delivery area. In this example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that the delivery area is divided into a plurality of (here, six) rectangular areas A1 to A6.

  Next, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 accepts designation of the number of delivery vehicles by operating the input unit 15 of the operator (step S102). Here, it is assumed that five are designated.

  The delivery simulation apparatus 10 may accept designation of a delivery date or a delivery day by an operation of the input unit 15 of the operator. When the delivery date is received, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 refers to the delivery DB 22 to confirm the delivery place where the day is scheduled to be delivered in the delivery area and arranges it on the delivery area (see FIG. 6). ). When the delivery day of the week is received, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 refers to the delivery DB 22 and confirms the delivery place where the latest relevant day of the week including today is scheduled to be delivered in the delivery area. Arrange (see FIG. 6). When the delivery date or delivery day is not specified, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 refers to the delivery DB 22 to confirm the delivery location scheduled for delivery today in the delivery area, and arranges it on the delivery area. (See FIG. 6).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, the delivery route search unit 11 sequentially passes through all the divided areas A1 to A6 in the delivery area, and the location of each delivery destination in the delivery area (in FIG. 6). A delivery route HR that passes through all roads in the vicinity of the delivery location indicated by the black dots is searched (step S103). The delivery route HR does not include the route from the central delivery center S to the vicinity of the first delivery destination location and the route from the last delivery destination location to the central delivery center S.

  In step S103, a delivery route HR that is delivered in the order of divided area A1, divided area A2, divided area A3, divided area A4, divided area A5, and divided area A6 is searched. This order is determined in advance.

  Next, the delivery permission / inhibition confirmation processing unit 12 calculates a predicted delivery time when the delivery vehicle is delivered according to the delivery route HR (step S104). The estimated delivery time is preferably calculated by adding the required delivery time taking into account the characteristics of each delivery destination (for example, 2 minutes for the first floor of an apartment, 5 minutes for the 10th floor of an apartment, etc.).

  Next, the delivery possibility confirmation processing unit 12 divides the calculated estimated delivery time into the number of delivery vehicles, and derives a divided delivery route that is a delivery route for each divided time (step S105). In this example, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, a divided delivery route HR1 from point a to point b, a divided delivery route HR2 from point b to point c, a divided delivery route HR3 from point c to point d, It is assumed that a divided delivery route HR4 from point d to point e and a divided delivery route HR5 from point e to point f are derived.

  In step S105, for example, the estimated delivery time may be divided equally (same time) into the number of delivery vehicles, or the estimated delivery time may be divided into the number of delivery vehicles at a predetermined ratio. May be. This predetermined ratio may be determined in advance in consideration of the round-trip time from the central delivery center S. For example, the first divided delivery route and the last divided delivery route from the start may be set to have a high ratio assuming that the round-trip time from the centralized delivery center S is relatively short. The delivery permission confirmation processing unit 12 may calculate a predetermined ratio. In this case, the area where each divided delivery route will be located is specified (for example, in the case of five divisions, area A1, area A2, area A4, area A5), and round-trip time from the centralized distribution center S (for example, for each area) The average time set in advance may be used) so that the ratio of the relatively short divided delivery route is increased.

  Next, the delivery permission confirmation processing unit 12 predicts the delivery of each vehicle from the central delivery center S that is the departure point to the central delivery center S that is the arrival point via each of the divided delivery routes HR1 to HR5. Each time (predicted delivery time for each vehicle) is calculated (step S106).

  When the estimated delivery time for each vehicle is calculated, the delivery possibility confirmation processing unit 12 compares each estimated delivery time for each vehicle with a predetermined delivery task scheduled time, and the vehicle becomes longer than the scheduled delivery task time. It is confirmed whether there is another estimated delivery time (step S107).

  “Scheduled delivery service time” means a time that can be allocated to work from departure to arrival when a delivery person (or a delivery vehicle) delivers, for example, 3 hours (only in the morning), 6 hours (rest) All day excluding), etc.

  If it is confirmed that there is no estimated delivery time for each vehicle that is longer than the scheduled delivery time, that is, if it is confirmed that all estimated delivery times for each vehicle are less than the estimated delivery time, the delivery is confirmed. The processing unit 12 displays the search result of the delivery route on the data display unit 14 (for example, a map in which the delivery route for each delivery vehicle is color-coded and displayed in the delivery area), so that the operator can display the delivery route. In addition to presenting the delivery route, a delivery possible notification is executed by displaying on the data display unit 14 that delivery by the designated number (5 in this example) is possible (step S108).

  On the other hand, if there is at least one estimated delivery time for each vehicle that is longer than the scheduled delivery time, the delivery availability confirmation processing unit 12 delivers the designated number of vehicles (5 in this example). Is displayed on the data display unit 14 to notify that delivery is impossible (step S109).

  As described above, it is confirmed whether or not it is possible to deliver the delivery area appropriately (within the scheduled delivery business time) with the designated number of delivery vehicles, and the result is notified to the operator. Processing is executed. Therefore, the operator can derive the minimum number that can be delivered by increasing or decreasing the designated number of delivery vehicles.

  Although not mentioned in the above example, in response to an operator's instruction, the delivery map creation unit 13 creates a delivery map as shown in FIG. 8, for example, in which the delivery route of each delivery vehicle is individually displayed. (FIG. 8 shows an example of a delivery map in which the divided delivery route HR2 is displayed), and the data printing unit 16 prints the delivery map. After that, each delivery person uses the delivery vehicles to deliver the delivery item around the delivery destination (delivery place) while referring to the delivery map printed for himself / herself.

  In the above example, the delivery map printed out is carried by the delivery person, but the delivery map may be displayed on a display device mounted on the delivery vehicle.

  In the above example, the confirmation process is performed on a predetermined day. However, the confirmation process for one week is performed so that a fixed customer exists for each day of the week. It may be possible to confirm whether or not a delivery vehicle for the vehicle must be prepared.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 confirms whether or not the delivery of the product from the central delivery center to each delivery location designated by each customer is completed within a predetermined time. Accepts the specification of the delivery area, accepts the number of delivery vehicles, searches for the delivery route that passes through each divided area in the delivery area in order, and predicts delivery from the first delivery location to the last delivery location in the delivery route Calculate the time, divide the estimated delivery time into the number of units accepted according to the predetermined division rule, derive the divided delivery route corresponding to the divided time, and deliver each delivery vehicle that passes through each divided delivery route by vehicle Search for the route, calculate the estimated delivery time for each vehicle when passing through the delivery route for each vehicle, and calculate the estimated delivery time for each vehicle. Compare with the scheduled delivery service time that is set in advance as the upper limit time for delivery service using the vehicle, and check whether the estimated delivery time for each vehicle is longer than the scheduled delivery service time. In response to confirming that all of the estimated delivery times are less than the scheduled delivery time, it is configured to notify that delivery by the accepted number of delivery vehicles is possible. Thus, the delivery efficiency when the delivery person delivers can be easily predicted in advance.

  In other words, the number of delivery vehicles is used as a variable to check whether or not delivery within the delivery area can be performed at the scheduled delivery work time, so the specified number of delivery vehicles is increased or decreased. The minimum number that can be delivered can be derived by checking several times. Therefore, the delivery efficiency when the delivery person delivers using the delivery vehicle can be easily predicted in advance, and the optimum number of delivery vehicles can be easily derived.

  In the above-described embodiment, the delivery simulation device 10 sequentially passes through all rectangular divided areas A1 to A6 in the delivery area, and passes the roads near the locations of the delivery destinations in the delivery area. Since it is configured to search for the delivery route HR that passes through all, it becomes possible to search for the delivery route HR by a simple process, and it is possible to prevent the area of the delivery route for each vehicle from covering a wide range. . Therefore, when creating a delivery map for each vehicle, it can be avoided that the map becomes fine.

  In the above-described embodiment, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 confirms that at least one of the estimated delivery times for each vehicle is longer than the scheduled delivery service time, and delivery by the accepted number of delivery vehicles is performed. Since it is configured so as to notify that it is impossible, it becomes possible to recognize that delivery within the scheduled delivery operation time with the designated number is impossible.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the delivery simulation apparatus 10 is configured to divide the estimated delivery time evenly into the number of units received according to a predetermined division rule, the estimated delivery time can be divided with a simple configuration. It becomes possible.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the delivery simulation device 10 is configured to divide the predicted delivery time according to a predetermined division rule so that it is a predetermined time ratio for the number of received units, the estimated delivery time is appropriately set. It becomes possible to divide.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the predetermined time ratio is set in advance in consideration of the round-trip time between the central delivery center S and the delivery area to which each delivery vehicle delivers, the simple time ratio has a simple configuration. It is possible to appropriately divide the estimated delivery time.

  In the above-described embodiment, the delivery simulation device 10 calculates a predetermined time ratio by taking into account the round trip time between the central delivery center and the delivery area delivered by each delivery vehicle, and sets the estimated delivery time to a predetermined division rule. Accordingly, the delivery prediction time can be more appropriately divided when the division is performed so that the predetermined time ratio calculated for the number of received units is obtained.

  In the above-described embodiment, the delivery simulation apparatus 10 executes the above-described various processes (such as the process shown in FIG. 4) according to a computer program (delivery simulation processing program) stored in a storage medium that the delivery simulation apparatus 10 includes. To do.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the delivery simulation device 10 has a route guidance function for performing route guidance, and the delivery simulation device 10 is mounted on a delivery vehicle to perform route guidance. Also good.

  According to the present invention, it is useful for easily predicting in advance the delivery efficiency when a delivery person delivers using a delivery vehicle.
