[Description of functional configuration]
With reference to FIG. 3, the functional configuration of the server apparatus 10 will be described. The server device 10 includes, as main functional configurations, a stop setting unit 111, a route search unit 112, an attendance information reception unit 113, an attendance information transmission unit 114, a boarding situation registration unit 115, a timetable creation unit 116, a position notification unit 117, An operation status notification unit 118 and a database 120 are provided. These functions are realized by, for example, the control unit 11 having the CPU 12 develop and execute a program stored in the storage unit 15 or the like in the memory 13.

  The database 120 stores various types of information such as information necessary for processing executed in the server device 10 and information generated by the processing. The database 120 stores, for example, user information, positioning information and map information of the in-vehicle terminal 30, and pick-up bus stop information, route information, timetable information, attendance information, and operation status information. The user information includes address information, e-mail address information, information on a stop where the child gets on and off, and the like as information on the child to be picked up and the guardian of the child. The positioning information of the in-vehicle terminal 30 includes information on the position and date when the in-vehicle terminal 30 is positioned. The pick-up bus stop information includes identification information and position information of a place registered as a pick-up bus stop. The route information includes information on a pick-up route of the pick-up bus. The timetable information includes information on the time when the shuttle bus stops at the stop. Attendance information includes information on each child's attendance on a daily basis. The operation status information is information on the operation status of the pick-up bus every hour, “normal” indicating that it is operating normally, “delay” indicating that operation is delayed, and transfer due to accidents and traffic jams Information such as “stop” indicating that the bus is stopped is included.

  In response to an instruction from the user of the management terminal 40, the stop setting unit 111 sets each of a plurality of positions on the map where the shuttle bus stops as a stop and each of the children (registered users). A process of associating with one of the stops (that is, setting a stop used by the child) is performed. That is, the stop setting unit 111 performs setting of a stop (setting of a place) and linking (association) of a stop and a child. The position of the stop can be set, for example, by setting the position on the map designated according to the user input as the stop. The linkage between the stop and the child can be performed in response to user input or automatically. When automatically performed, the stop setting unit 111 refers to the position information of the stop and the position information of the address previously associated with the child (for example, the position information of the address of the child's home), and the address position of the child It is possible to link the stop closest to the child to the child. That is, the child and the stop are associated according to the child's address. Even if the stop setting unit 111 automatically links the stop and the child, the stop setting unit 111 can correct the relationship between the links according to the user input.

  In response to an instruction from the user of the management terminal 40, the route search unit 112 searches for a route on the map so as to pass through one or more stops, and determines a pickup route of a pickup bus according to the searched route. Perform the setting process. As a specific process, for example, the route search unit 112 first orders the stops associated with the kindergarten according to the user input, and performs a route search so as to pass through the stops in the order according to the order. Do. Note that the route search unit 112 can also search for the shortest route among routes that pass through all the stops designated by the user without performing ordering. Any route search engine can be used. In addition, the route search unit 112 can correct the searched route according to a user input. The route search unit 112 can set a searched route or a route corrected according to user input as a pick-up route.

  The route search unit 112 can also determine the efficiency of the set pickup route based on road traffic regulations. An example of the determination will be described. First, the pick-up route set as described above by the route search unit 112 is a route that complies with traffic regulations. Specifically, when a plurality of lanes whose traveling directions are opposite to one road are defined, the pickup route considers which side of the road the stop is on (that is, the vehicle is in the traveling direction of the lane). If there are traffic restrictions such as one-way traffic or right turn prohibition, the route considers those restrictions. When the pick-up route is set according to the traffic regulation in this way, changing the order of the stops to pass through may cause the distance of the pick-up route to become very short (that is, the pick-up route becomes more efficient). In order to determine the efficiency of such a pick-up route, the route search unit 112 searches so as to pass the pick-up route set as described above and the designated pick-up route without considering traffic regulations. The difference in travel distance or travel time between them is equal to or greater than a threshold (for example, the travel distance difference between them is 30% or more of the travel distance of the former route) Whether or not) can be determined. If it is equal to or greater than the threshold, the route search unit 112 can notify the user (for example, the user of the management terminal 40) that the route efficiency is poor. As a result, the user who has received the notification can set a more efficient pick-up route by changing the order of the stops passing there.

  Further, as another method for determining the efficiency of the set transfer route, it is also possible to make a determination based on the order of passing through the stop. Specifically, the route search unit 112 designates the pick-up route set as described above (that is, the route searched to pass through the stops in the order according to the user input) and the order of passing through the stops. Without comparison, the shortest route searched so as to pass through all the stops can be compared, and it can be determined whether or not the difference in the moving distance or the difference in the moving time is greater than or equal to the threshold value. If it is equal to or greater than the threshold, the route search unit 112 can notify the user that the route is inefficient. Note that the two routes used for this determination are both routes according to traffic regulations.

  The attendance information receiving unit 113 is information on whether or not a pre-registered kindergarten (registered user) gets on the pick-up bus (or only information on not getting on) and / or information on whether or not to attend kindergarten ( Alternatively, only information indicating absence is received as attendance information from one or a plurality of user terminals 20 via the communication unit 14. Note that the user terminal 20 is owned by, for example, each guardian of the kindergarten, and information on attendance of each kindergarten to the kindergarten is transmitted to the server device 10 in accordance with the operation of the user terminal 20 by the guardian. The attendance information received by the server device 10 is stored in the database 120.

  The attendance information transmission unit 114 transmits attendance information of the kindergarten stored in the storage unit 15 at that time to the in-vehicle terminal 30 via the communication unit 14 in response to an operation instruction by the user of the in-vehicle terminal 30. The in-vehicle terminal 30 displays the received attendance information on the display unit.

  In addition, as a modification of the process of transmitting attendance information of kindergarten to the in-vehicle terminal 30, the attendance information transmission unit 114 uses the attendance information of the kindergarten stored in the database 120 according to the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30 as the communication unit 14. It transmits to the vehicle-mounted terminal 30 via. The current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30 is determined based on the positioning information of the in-vehicle terminal 30. Further, as an example of specific processing of sending / out of attendance information, the attendance information transmission unit 114 may be configured according to the distance between the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30 and the stop where the next shuttle bus stops (for example, the distance). Attendance information about the children associated with the stop can be transmitted to the in-vehicle terminal 30. The attendance information transmission unit 114 may transmit all attendance information to the in-vehicle device 30 in advance, and may transmit the information to the in-vehicle terminal 30 again when the attendance information is updated. In this case, the in-vehicle terminal 30 displays attendance information of the children associated with the stop according to the distance between the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30 and the next stop in the received information.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the in-vehicle terminal 30 displays the attendance information of the children associated with the stop according to the distance between the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30 and the next stop. The pick-up bus driver can know which children are absent from among the children registered to ride at the next stop. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a child who is absent from the driver waits at the stop, and the child can be smoothly boarded.

  The boarding status registration unit 115 receives information on the boarding status (boarding status) of the children on the pick-up bus (vehicle) from the in-vehicle terminal 30 via the communication unit 14, and stores and registers the information in the database 120. . Specifically, first, when a child rides on the pick-up bus at the stop, the driver of the pick-up bus inputs to the in-vehicle terminal 30 that the child gets on the pick-up bus. In response to the input, the boarding status registration unit 115 of the server device 10 receives information indicating that the kindergarten has boarded, and stores and registers the information in the database 120 as boarding status information.

  The timetable creation unit 116 uses the pick-up route set by the route search unit 112 to specify the expected time when the pick-up bus (vehicle) arrives at the stop on the pick-up route. Specifically, the timetable preparation unit 116 uses the distance between the stops on the pickup route and the departure time of the pickup bus set in advance to specify the expected time when the pickup bus arrives at each stop on the pickup route. To do. Moreover, the timetable preparation part 116 produces the timetable of a pick-up bus based on the said estimated time.

  The position notification unit 117 notifies the user terminal 20 according to the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30. For example, when the distance between the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30 and the next stop where the shuttle bus stops is within a predetermined distance (for example, 100 m), the children associated with the stop (that is, at the stop) The user terminal 20 owned by the guardian of the boarding child is notified (for example, mail transmission notifying that the shuttle bus will arrive soon). Note that the setting of when notification is performed can be arbitrarily set by the user of the user terminal 20. For example, when the pick-up bus leaves the kindergarten, the position notification unit 117 is set to notify when the pick-up bus arrives at a stop a predetermined number of times before the stop where the kindergarten is to board (for example, three times before). can do. Further, the position notification unit 117 can also notify the user terminal 20 and / or the management terminal 40 that the pick-up bus is delayed based on the timetable, the current time, and the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30.

  The operation status notification unit 118 receives information on the operation status of the pick-up bus (vehicle) from the in-vehicle terminal 30 via the communication unit 14, and notifies the received information. For example, the operation status notification unit 118 first receives operation status information via the communication unit 14 in response to an operation on the in-vehicle terminal 30 by the driver of the shuttle bus, and the received information is transmitted to the user terminal 20 and / or Alternatively, the management terminal 40 can be notified. Information on the operation status includes, for example, “normal” indicating normal operation, “delay” indicating that operation is delayed, and that the shuttle bus is stopped due to an accident or traffic jam. "Stop" etc. are included. The user terminal 20 and / or the management terminal 40 displays the received operation status information on the display unit so that the user can check the information.

In addition, the processing of each step is performed under the control of the control unit 11. Note that details of the processing in each step have already been described and are omitted here. The same applies to the processing flow described with reference to other flowcharts.

  First, in step 11, the control unit 11 refers to the storage unit 15 in accordance with an instruction from the user of the management terminal 40, and performs a process of setting a plurality of positions on the map where the shuttle bus stops as stops. Do. The position of the stop can be set, for example, by setting the position on the map designated according to the user input as the stop. Information on the set stop is stored in the storage unit 15.

  In step S12, the control unit 11 refers to the storage unit 15 and associates each kindergarten (registered user) with one of the stops set in step S11 (that is, the kindergarten is used for getting on and off the shuttle bus). Set the stop to be performed). The linkage between the stop and the child can be performed in response to user input or automatically. Information on the association between the stop and the child is stored in the storage unit 15.

  In step S13, the control unit 11 performs ordering (determination of the order in which the pick-up bus stops) for the designated stop among the stops associated with the kindergarten in accordance with user input.

  In step S14, the control unit 11 searches for a route on the map so as to pass through the stops designated in step S13 in the ordered order, and sets a pick-up route for the pick-up bus according to the searched route. I do.

  An example of the pick-up route set in step S14 will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, the designated stop is shown as a stop icon on the map, and a route set to pass through each stop is shown as a pick-up route 60.

  Next, in step S15, the control unit 11 specifies an expected time when the shuttle bus (vehicle) arrives at the stop on the pickup route using the pickup route set in step S14. Specifically, the control unit 11 uses the distance between the stops on the pick-up route and the preset departure time of the pick-up bus to specify the expected time when the pick-up bus arrives at each stop on the pick-up route. The control unit 11 creates a pick-up bus timetable based on the estimated time. The created timetable can be displayed on the user terminal 20, the in-vehicle terminal 30, and the management terminal 40.

  With reference to FIG. 7, a display example of the timetable created in step S15 will be described. In this example, the timetable includes the stops included in the pick-up route and the arrival time (scheduled time) at each stop. When the pick-up bus is currently picking up, an icon can be arranged at a position corresponding to the current location in the table to indicate the current location of the pick-up bus.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 5, an example of a flow of processing executed by the server device 10 during operation of the shuttle bus will be described. As described above, each processing step included in the processing flow described below can be executed in any order or in parallel as long as the processing contents do not contradict each other. Other steps may be added between the steps.

Received from the terminal 20 via the communication unit 14. The control unit 11 stores the received attendance information in the storage unit 15.

  In step S <b> 22, the control unit 11 transmits the attendance information of the kindergarten stored in the storage unit 15 at that time to the in-vehicle terminal 30 via the communication unit 14 in response to an operation instruction from the user of the in-vehicle terminal 30. The in-vehicle terminal 30 displays the received attendance information on the display unit.

  Further, as a modification of the process for transmitting the attendance information of the child to the in-vehicle terminal 30, the control unit 11 sends the attendance information of the child stored in the storage unit 15 to the communication unit 14 according to the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30. Via the in-vehicle terminal 30. The current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30 is determined based on the positioning information received from the in-vehicle terminal 30. Moreover, as an example of specific processing of sending / receiving information, the control unit 11 determines whether the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30 and the next stop where the shuttle bus stops (for example, the distance is 50 m). Attendance information about the kindergarten associated with the bus stop can be transmitted to the in-vehicle terminal 30. The control unit 11 may transmit all attendance information to the in-vehicle device 30 in advance, and may transmit the information to the in-vehicle terminal 30 again when the attendance information is updated. In this case, the in-vehicle terminal 30 displays the attendance information of the children associated with the stop in the received information according to the distance between the current location of the in-vehicle terminal 30 and the next stop. .

  With reference to FIG. 8, the example of the attendance information of the kindergarten displayed on the display part of the vehicle-mounted terminal 30 is demonstrated. In FIG. 8, for each stop (in front of “Sport Center” and “in front of XX Building”), the names of the children (for example, “Ichiro Suzuki”) scheduled to board at that stop are listed. Next to, “Attendance” or “Absence” is indicated as attendance information.

  Next, in step S <b> 23, the control unit 11 receives information on the state of boarding the pick-up bus for the kindergarten from the in-vehicle terminal 30 via the communication unit 14, and stores and registers the information in the storage unit 15. Specifically, first, when a child rides on the pick-up bus at the stop, the driver of the pick-up bus inputs to the in-vehicle terminal 30 that the child gets on the pick-up bus. In response to the input, the boarding status registration unit 115 of the server device 10 receives information indicating that the child has boarded, and stores and registers the information in the storage unit 15 as boarding status information.
