The arrival accuracy is based on, for example, the time required when the vehicle allocation planning process and the berth reservation system 40 are available. The arrival accuracy is, for example, a required time obtained by increasing a predetermined time with respect to the baseline cargo handling time when the berth reservation system 40 is not used. Further, the arrival accuracy is, for example, a required time obtained by increasing a predetermined ratio with respect to the required time of the baseline when the vehicle allocation planning process is not used. For example, assuming that the required time for the arrival probability is 60 minutes for the baseline, 60 minutes + 30 minutes = 90 minutes when the berth reservation system 40 is not used. Further, the required time for reaching accuracy is, for example, 60 minutes + (60 minutes × 30%) = 78 minutes when the vehicle allocation planning process is not used.

The output control unit 136 transmits the generated candidate vehicle selection screen to the currency request vehicle request system 30 via the communication unit 110, the network N, and the operation management system 20.

In other words, the output control unit 136 outputs the required time from the departure point to the destination based on the acquired predicted required time and the calculated travel time. Further, the output control unit 136 corrects and outputs the required time to the destination based on the arrival accuracy according to the determination result of whether or not the berth reservation system 40 exists. Further, the output control unit 136 determines the vehicle 10 to be prioritized according to the calculated value, and determines the display mode of the vehicle 10 to be displayed on the screen. Further, the output control unit 136 determines a vehicle to be prioritized according to the calculated arrival accuracy, and determines a display mode of the vehicle 10 to be displayed on the screen. Further, the output control unit 136 sets the display mode of the vehicle 10 to the display mode including the acquired desired place.

Here, the required time calculation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of calculation of required time. In the example of FIG. 6, the operation plan of the vehicle 10 (T01) goes from the departure point A to the garage L via the berths B and C. Reservations for berths B and C are designated at 13:00 and 15:00, respectively. It is assumed that the berth B does not use the berth reservation system 40, and the berth C uses the berth reservation system 40. In the conventional operation plan 60, the vehicle 10 (T01) departs from the departure point A at 11:00 with a margin. That is, it can be said that the operation plan 60 has low time reliability. On the other hand, in the operation plan 61 using the operation management system 20 and the information processing device 100, the vehicle 10 (T01) has a travel time of 60 minutes from the departure point A to the berth B, so that the departure point A is set to 12 :. Depart at 00. That is, it can be said that the operation plan 61 is an accurate operation plan.

However, in the berth B, there is a delay in the work, and the vehicle 10 (T01) is in a waiting state in front of the berth B as of 13:30. Therefore, the vehicle 10 (T01) starts the unloading work at berth B from 14:00. In the operation plan 61, a 60-minute break was planned between berths B and C, but in order to recover from the one-hour delay at berth B, vehicle 10 (T01) took a break before berth B. It will arrive in 30 minutes from Bath B to Bath C ahead of schedule.

It is assumed that the currency-seeking system 30 receives the vehicle-seeking information K1 while the vehicle 10 (T01) is heading from the berth B to the berth C. It is assumed that the vehicle request information K1 loads (apples) at berth X at 16:00 and arrives at berth Y at 17:00. It is assumed that the berths X and Y are using the berth reservation system 40. Based on the current location and operation plan of the vehicle 10 (T01), the information processing apparatus 100 determines that the vehicle 10 (T01) becomes empty when the unloading work at the berth C is completed. Since the berth C uses the berth reservation system 40, it is possible to provide an accurate cargo handling time. In addition, it can be said that the current location here is the departure point when viewed from the vehicle request information K1.

The information processing apparatus 100 calculates each travel time of the vehicle 10 (T01) from berth C to berth X, from berth X to berth Y, and from berth Y to the garage L based on the operation plan information of the vehicle request information K1. .. The information processing apparatus 100 acquires the predicted work time in the berths X and Y from the berth reservation system 40. In the example of FIG. 6, each travel time is calculated as 30 minutes, and 30 minutes are acquired as the predicted work time in the berths X and Y.

The information processing apparatus 100 departs from the berth C of the vehicle 10 (T01) and calculates the required time to the garage L via the berths X and Y based on the predicted work time and the travel time. The information processing apparatus 100 generates the required time information, which is a new operation plan, based on the existing operation plan of the vehicle 10 (T01), the operation plan information of the vehicle request information K1, and the calculated required time. The information processing apparatus 100 transmits the generated required time information to the operation management system 20, the currency request vehicle request system 30, and the berth reservation system 40. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 can generate a new operation plan based on an accurate time including cargo handling. At this time, the berth reservation system 40 makes reservations for berths X and Y based on the received required time information. The berth reservation system 40 may contact the dispatcher or the driver of the transportation company so as to make a reservation for berths X and Y based on the received required time information.

Further, when the information processing device 100 receives the vehicle request information K1, it analyzes the proximity of the berth Y and the garage L, which is the desired direction of the vehicle 10 (T01), and accepts, for example, when the direction is opposite. It may be possible to perform no control. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 100 can improve the physical distribution productivity and the safety.

Next, the selection screen of the candidate vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a candidate vehicle selection screen for vehicle request information. On the selection screen 62, for example, icons of candidate vehicles 10 (T05 to T07) for vehicle request information are displayed. Further, on the selection screen 62, for the vehicles 10 (T05 to T07), the pick-up time, the arrival accuracy, the vehicle information, and the charge when heading to the loading area 63 are displayed. In the example of the selection screen 62, the arrival probability of the vehicle 10 (T06) is the highest with three stars, and the required time is also the shortest with 45 minutes, so it can be seen that the vehicle to be prioritized is the vehicle 10 (T06).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a candidate vehicle selection screen in consideration of a desired location. On the selection screen 64 shown in FIG. 8, for example, as in the selection screen 62, the icons of the candidate vehicles 10 (T05 to T07) for the vehicle request information are displayed. Further, on the selection screen 64, the unloading place 65 and the destinations 66 to 68, which are the desired directions or the vehicle registration places of the vehicles 10 (T05 to T07), are displayed. Further, on the selection screen 64, for each of the vehicles 10 (T05 to T07), the pick-up time, the desired direction and the burden degree, the arrival accuracy and the arrival burden degree, the vehicle information and the charge when heading to the loading place 63 are displayed. Will be done.

In the example of the selection screen 64, the vehicle 10 (T05) has a medium burden from the unloading place 65 to the destination 66 among the two stars and the three candidate vehicles 10. In addition, the vehicle 10 (T05) has the lowest arrival probability of one star from the current location to the loading location 63, the longest required time of 85 minutes, and the highest arrival burden of 3400. The arrival burden is, for example, the product of the distance of 40 km from the current location of the vehicle 10 (T05) to the loading location 63 and the required time of 85 minutes. Vehicle 10 (T06) has the highest burden from the unloading place 65 to the destination 67 with one star, but the probability of reaching the loading place 63 from the current location is the highest with three stars, and the required time is the highest at 45 minutes. It is short and the arrival burden is the lowest at 900. The arrival burden is, for example, the product of the distance of 20 km from the current location of the vehicle 10 (T06) to the loading location 63 and the required time of 45 minutes.

Vehicle 10 (T07) has the lowest burden of 3 stars from the unloading place 65 to the destination 68, the arrival accuracy from the current location to the loading place 63 is 2 stars, the required time is 65 minutes, and the arrival burden is Medium out of 1950 and the three candidate vehicles 10. The arrival burden is, for example, the product of the distance of 30 km from the current location of the vehicle 10 (T07) to the loading location 63 and the required time of 65 minutes. In the example of the selection screen 64, the vehicle 10 (T07) having the lowest burden on the desired direction and the medium arrival accuracy can be set as the vehicle 10 to be prioritized. If the burden is about the same, the vehicle 10 having the shorter distance is given priority, and the vehicle 10 that is the route to return from the unloading place to the destination is given priority. Further, when the pick-up time is prioritized, the vehicle 10 (T06) may be the vehicle 10 to be prioritized. Further, when the charge is prioritized, the vehicle 10 (T05) may be the vehicle 10 to be prioritized.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 of the embodiment will be described. First, the required time calculation process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the required time calculation process of the embodiment.

The reception unit 131 receives and accepts the operation plan information and the required time calculation request from the operation management system 20 (step S1). The reception unit 131 stores the received operation plan information in the operation plan information storage unit 121. The reception unit 131 outputs the first determination instruction to the first determination unit 132 in response to the required time calculation request.

When the first determination instruction is input from the reception unit 131, the first determination unit 132 determines whether or not there is work at the waypoint (step S2). When the first determination unit 132 determines that there is no work at the waypoint (step S2: negative), the first determination unit 132 outputs a movement time calculation instruction to the calculation unit 135 and proceeds to step S6. When the first determination unit 132 determines that there is work at the waypoint (step S2: affirmative), the first determination unit 132 outputs the second determination instruction to the second determination unit 133.

Further, when the travel time calculation instruction is input from the first determination unit 132, the calculation unit 135 refers to the operation plan information storage unit 121 and the actual result storage unit 123, and determines the travel time to the destination based on the past actual results. Calculate (step S6).

The calculation unit 135 calculates the required time to the berth and the destination based on the input predicted work time and the calculated travel time (step S7). The calculation unit 135 generates the required time information based on the calculated required time and the operation plan information. The calculation unit 135 stores the generated required time information in the required time storage unit 124 and outputs it to the output control unit 136.

When the required time information is input from the calculation unit 135, the output control unit 136 transmits the input required time information to the operation management system 20 (step S8). As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 can more accurately calculate the arrival time of the vehicle 10. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 can more accurately calculate the arrival time of the vehicle 10 by considering the required time (working time) of the berth in addition to the moving time of the vehicle 10.

Subsequently, the vehicle request acceptance process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the vehicle request acceptance process of the embodiment.

The reception unit 131 receives and receives the currency request information and the vehicle request information from the operation management system 20 (step S11). The reception unit 131 outputs the received currency request information and the vehicle request information to the second determination unit 133.

When the currency request information and the vehicle request information are input from the reception unit 131, the second determination unit 133 acquires the berth information from the vehicle request information. The second determination unit 133 determines whether or not the berth reservation system 40 corresponding to the berth exists based on the acquired berth information (step S12). When the second determination unit 133 determines that the berth reservation system 40 exists (step S12: affirmative), the second determination unit 133 outputs an inquiry instruction to the berth reservation system 40 to the acquisition unit 134. Further, the second determination unit 133 outputs the currency request information and the vehicle request information to the acquisition unit 134.

When the inquiry instruction is input from the second determination unit 133, the acquisition unit 134 transmits an inquiry for the estimated work time to the berth reservation system 40. The acquisition unit 134 receives and acquires the estimated work time of the berth from the berth reservation system 40 (step S13). The acquisition unit 134 outputs the acquired predicted work time to the calculation unit 135.
