Assistance systems are known (for example, US Pat. The car-riding support system of Patent Document 1 supports car-riding by an intermediary host connected to a driver's terminal and a fellow passenger's terminal via a network. An intermediary host compares a plurality of pieces of driving schedule information received from a driver's side terminal with a plurality of pieces of information on desire to share a ride received from a passenger's side terminal, and finds a combination that matches the desires of the driver and fellow passengers. The intermediary host transmits meeting information including the meeting time and meeting place to the driver's terminal and fellow passenger's terminal associated with the matching combination.

In order to solve the problem of car sharing that users are limited to those who can drive, there is a well-known vehicle allocation system that allows both drivers and non-drivers to share vehicles (Patent Document 2). In the dispatch system of Patent Document 2, when the management device acquires the schedule information of the driver and fellow passengers from the driver terminal and the fellow passenger terminal, it searches for a vehicle that satisfies the boarding/alighting schedule of each, and determines the given condition. If there is a vehicle that satisfies the requirements, the fact (vehicle allocation plan) is notified to the driver and fellow passengers.

On the other hand, as a technique for rationally managing shared cars parked in parallel, a car sharing reservation management device is known (Patent Document 3). In the device described in Patent Document 3, when a car sharing user makes a reservation for a parallel parked sharing car in row B, the management server sends the user's reservation ID to the in-vehicle devices of all the sharing cars in row B. Sends control data that enables unlocking. When the user unlocks the first sharing car in row B, control data is transmitted to the in-vehicle devices of the other sharing cars to the effect that the door is to be locked so that it cannot be unlocked with this user's reservation person ID.

The vehicle position information transmission unit 38 of the ride-sharing management server 5 transmits the position information of the shared car 3 received from the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 via the ride-sharing management server 5 to the user terminals 7 of the corresponding fellow passengers included in the schedule of the ride-sharing operation. . The user who is a fellow passenger can know the position of the shared vehicle 3 to be boarded by the operation schedule display unit 17 of the user terminal 7 displaying the position of the shared vehicle 3 on the display of the user interface 14. The arrival time of the shared car 3 at the pick-up point can be predicted.

A user who is a fellow passenger performs a check-in operation by holding the user terminal 7 (rental membership card 10) over the window to the short-range wireless communication unit 25 of the passenger vehicle 2 that has arrived at the pick-up point, thereby performing short-range wireless communication. The user ID received by the unit 25 is transmitted from the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 to the rental management server 6 together with the vehicle ID.

The fellow passenger authentication unit 50 of the rental management server 6 collates the user ID received from the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 with the user ID of the fellow passenger included in the corresponding rental reservation information to authenticate the fellow passenger. Specifically, when the user ID received from the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 matches the user ID of the fellow passenger in the rental reservation information, the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 properly identifies the holder of the user terminal 7 (rental membership card 10). Authenticate as a passenger. On the other hand, if the user ID received from the in-vehicle terminal 8 does not match the user ID of the fellow passenger in the rental reservation information, the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 recognizes the owner of the user terminal 7 (rental membership card 10) as a proper fellow passenger. Do not authenticate.

The authentication result transmission unit 47 of the rental management server 6 transmits the authentication result of the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 together with the vehicle ID to the boarding management server 5 and the in-vehicle terminal 8 of the corresponding boarding vehicle 2 . The authentication result transmission unit 39 of the passenger management server 5 transmits the authentication result of the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 received from the rental management server 6 to the user terminal 7 of the driver of the passenger vehicle 2 corresponding to the vehicle ID.

The authentication result notification unit 18 of the driver's user terminal 7 notifies the driver of the passenger's authentication result via the user interface 14 such as a speaker or display. Also, the authentication result notification unit 28 of the in-vehicle terminal 8 notifies the passenger of the authentication result via the user interface 24 such as a speaker or a display. Thereby, the user, who is the driver, can know whether or not the person who is going to get into the shared vehicle 2 is a proper fellow passenger. When the authentication result indicates that the passenger is a proper fellow passenger, the authentication result notification unit 18 of the user terminal 7 and the authentication result notification unit 28 of the in-vehicle terminal 8 let the fellow passenger board the passenger vehicle 2 together with the notification of the authentication result. Notify the unlocking instruction as soon as possible. The driver can unlock the door of the passenger vehicle 2 after confirming the passenger's authentication result and the unlocking instruction.

In addition, the authentication result transmission unit 39 of the boarding management server 5 sends the authentication result of the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 received from the rental management server 6 to the user terminal holding the user ID received by the short-range wireless communication unit 25 of the in-vehicle terminal 8 . Send to 7. The authentication result notification unit 18 of the fellow passenger's user terminal 7 notifies the fellow passenger of the authentication result via the user interface 14 such as a speaker and a display. As a result, the user, who is a fellow passenger, can know whether or not the shared vehicle 3 to be boarded is the appropriate shared vehicle 2 . When the authentication result indicates that the passenger is a proper fellow passenger, the authentication result notification unit 18 of the user terminal 7 notifies the passenger of the passenger vehicle 2 along with the notification of the authentication result. The fellow passenger can board the shared vehicle 2 after confirming the authentication result of the fellow passenger and the boarding instruction.

3 and 4 are flow charts showing the procedure of the process of the vehicle boarding support system 1. FIG. FIG. 3 shows the processing from the application for sharing the vehicle until the departure of the vehicle 2 from the rental station 4, and FIG. showing. In these figures, each process, user's operation, and event are shown in chronological order from the top.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the car-riding support system 1, each element (the user terminal 7, the car-riding management server 5, the rental management server 6, and the in-vehicle terminal 8) executes processing according to the following procedure. First, a plurality of user terminals 7 apply for ride-sharing by the operation of a plurality of users (step ST, step ST2). The boarding management server 5 applies for the use of the shared vehicle 3 (step ST3), and the rental management server 6 makes a rental reservation for the shared vehicle 3 (step ST4). The ride-sharing management server 5 prepares a ride-sharing operation schedule while applying for the use of the shared car 3 (step ST5). After creating the ride-sharing operation schedule, the ride-sharing management server 5 transmits the ride-sharing operation schedule to the user terminals 7 of the corresponding users (driver and fellow passengers) (step ST6).

When the user, who is the driver, moves toward the rental station 4 in accordance with the ride-sharing schedule and approaches the rental station 4 (step ST7), the distance between the driver's user terminal 7 (portable terminal 9) and the rental station 4 becomes a predetermined value. It becomes below. As a result, the boarding management server 5 generates a proximity notification signal and transmits it to the rental management server 6 (step ST8). The lending reservation change unit 45 of the lending management server 6 changes the usage start time included in the lending reservation information according to the time when the proximity notification signal is received (step ST9). Thus, when the driver comes to the rental station 4 at a time earlier than the utilization start time to use the shared vehicle 3, the driver can start using the shared vehicle 3 without waiting for the utilization start time. On the other hand, when the driver comes to the rental station 4 at a time later than the usage start time, the shared vehicle 3 is prevented from being unnecessarily ready for rental.

When the rental reservation usage start time comes, the reservation information management unit 44 of the rental management server 6 activates the short-range wireless communication unit 25 for the in-vehicle terminals 8 of the plurality of shared vehicles 3 that satisfy the conditions of the rental reservation information. A start-up instruction for setting the standby state is transmitted (step ST10). The vehicle-mounted terminal 8 of the shared vehicle 3 that has received the activation instruction activates the short-range wireless communication unit 25 (ID receiving unit) to put it in a standby state in which the user ID can be received (step ST11).

When the user, who is the driver, selects one of the plurality of shared cars 3 at the rental station 4 and holds the user terminal 7 (rental membership card 10) over the short-range wireless communication unit 25 through the window (step ST12). ), the short-range wireless communication unit 25 of the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 receives the user ID from the user terminal 7 (step ST13). The driver can cause the short-range wireless communication unit 25 to receive the user ID by performing a simple operation of holding the user terminal 7 over the window of the shared car 3 .

The ID transmission unit 26 of the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 transmits the user ID and the vehicle ID of the own vehicle received by the short-range wireless communication unit 25 to the rental management server 6 (step ST14). The driver authentication unit 46 of the rental management server 6 collates the received user ID with the user ID of the driver included in the rental reservation information to authenticate the driver (step ST15). At this time, the driver authentication unit 46 authenticates that the driver is a proper driver only when the proximity notification signal is received. In other words, only when not only the rental membership card 10 but also the driver's portable terminal 9 is near the rental station 4, the driver authentication unit 46 authenticates the driver and the use of the shared car 3 is permitted. . Therefore, another user to whom the driver has lent the loaned membership card 10 is prevented from starting to use the shared car 3 .

The authentication result transmission unit 47 of the rental management server 6 transmits the authentication result of the driver authentication unit 46 to the corresponding vehicle-mounted terminal 8 of the shared vehicle 3 (step ST16). In the shared vehicle 3 that has received the authentication result, the unlocking unit 27 of the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 unlocks the doors, thereby permitting the use of the shared vehicle 3 (step ST17). In this way, after the rental management server 6 authenticates that the shared vehicle 3 has been selected as the shared vehicle 2 by the user terminal 7 of the driver included in the rental reservation information, the driver is permitted to use the shared vehicle 3. Use of the shared car 3 by other users is prevented. In addition, since the use of the shared vehicle 3 is permitted by unlocking the doors of the shared vehicle 3 by the unlocking unit 27 after the driver is authenticated by the driver authenticating unit 46, the driver and other persons are permitted to use the shared vehicle 3 before the authentication. are prevented from getting into the shared car 3.

When the door lock of the shared car 3 is released, the user of the driver starts using the shared car 3 as the passenger vehicle 2 (step ST18). When the rental of the shared vehicle 3 is started, the rental information transmission unit 48 of the rental management server 6 transmits the vehicle information of the shared vehicle 3 corresponding to the vehicle ID and the rental information including the user ID to the shared vehicle management server 5. (Step ST19). The ride-sharing management server 5 transmits the vehicle information included in the rental information to the user terminals 7 of the fellow passengers included in the ride-sharing operation schedule corresponding to the received user ID (step ST20). This allows the fellow passenger to specify the shared vehicle 2 at the pick-up point. In addition, since the driver does not need to acquire the vehicle information of the shared vehicle 3 and notify it to the boarding management server 5 at the time when the driver starts using the shared vehicle 3 (step ST12), the driver does not have to worry about increasing the trouble. . In addition, since the vehicle information includes the number, vehicle type, color, etc. of the shared vehicle 3, fellow passengers can reliably identify the shared vehicle 2 at the pick-up point.

The vehicle-mounted terminal 8 acquires the position information of the shared vehicle 3 by the position information acquisition unit 23, and transmits the vehicle position information to the rental management server 6 (step ST21). The vehicle position information transmission unit 49 of the rental management server 6 transmits the vehicle position information of the shared vehicle 3 received from the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 to the boarding management server 5 (step ST22). The vehicle position information transmission unit 38 of the ride-sharing management server 5 transmits the vehicle position information of the shared vehicle 3 received from the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 via the rental management server 6 to the user terminals 7 of the fellow passengers included in the corresponding ride-sharing operation schedule. (step ST24). Thus, fellow passengers can grasp whether the actual operation status of the shared vehicle 2 is ahead or behind the scheduled shared operation from the position of the shared vehicle 3 selected as the shared vehicle 2.例文帳に追加Therefore, the anxiety of the fellow passengers about the ride-sharing service using the shared car 3 is reduced.

The description continues with reference to FIG. As described above, the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 of the shared vehicle 2 transmits the location information of the shared vehicle 3 acquired by the location information acquisition unit 23 to the rental management server 6 (step ST31). Further, the vehicle position information transmission unit 49 of the rental management server 6 transmits the vehicle position information of the shared vehicle 3 received from the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 to the ride-sharing management server 5 (step ST32). The user who is a fellow passenger arrives at the pick-up point on foot (step ST33). The user who is the driver arrives at the pick-up point in the shared vehicle 2 (step ST34). The passenger management server 5 grasps the position of the user terminal 7 (portable terminal 9) of the fellow passenger and the position of the user terminal 7 (portable terminal 9) of the driver. Based on these positional information, the boarding management server 5 determines whether or not the boarding vehicle 2 driven by the proper driver and the fellow passenger have both arrived at the pick-up point (step ST35).

When the boarding management server 5 determines that both the boarding vehicle 2 and the fellow passengers have arrived at the pick-up point, the boarding management server 5 transmits the arrival determination result to the rental management server 6 (step ST36). Upon receiving the arrival determination result, the rental management server 6 transmits an activation instruction for the short-range wireless communication unit 25 to the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 of the shared vehicle 3 (step ST37). The vehicle-mounted terminal 8 of the shared vehicle 3 that has received the activation instruction activates the short-range wireless communication unit 25 (ID receiving unit) to put it in a standby state in which the user ID can be received (step ST38). In addition, the rental management server 6 receives the arrival determination result and transmits a check-in instruction to the fellow passenger's user terminal 7 to perform a check-in operation for boarding the shared vehicle 2 (step ST39). .

When the user terminal 7 notifies the user of a passenger's check-in instruction via the user interface 14, the user who is a fellow passenger performs a check-in operation to board the shared vehicle 2 (step ST40). The check-in operation is to hold the user terminal 7 (loaned membership card 10) over the window of the short-range wireless communication unit 25 of the passenger vehicle 2 as described above. By the check-in operation, the short-range wireless communication unit 25 of the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 in the standby state receives the user ID from the user terminal 7 (step ST41). The passenger can cause the short-range wireless communication unit 25 to receive the user ID by performing a simple operation of holding the user terminal 7 over the window of the shared car 3 .

The ID transmission unit 26 of the vehicle-mounted terminal 8 transmits the user ID and the vehicle ID of the host vehicle received by the short-range wireless communication unit 25 to the rental management server 6 (step ST42). The fellow passenger authentication unit 50 of the rental management server 6 collates the received user ID with the user ID of the fellow passenger included in the ride-sharing operation schedule recorded as the rental reservation information to authenticate the fellow passenger (step ST43). The authentication result transmission unit 47 of the rental management server 6 transmits the authentication result of the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 to the onboard terminal 8 of the corresponding shared vehicle 3 and the boarding management server 5 (step ST44). The authentication result transmission unit 39 of the passenger management server 5 sends the authentication result of the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 received from the rental management server 6 to the user terminal 7 (portable terminal 9) of the driver of the corresponding passenger vehicle 2 and the corresponding passenger. is transmitted to the user terminal 7 (portable terminal 9) of the user (step ST45). As a result, the passenger authentication result authenticated by the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 of the rental management server 6 can be notified to the driver via the user terminal 7 and the in-vehicle terminal 8 and to the fellow passenger via the user terminal 7. Become.

In the driver's user terminal 7 (portable terminal 9) that has received the authentication result, the authentication result notification unit 18 notifies the driver of the authentication result of the passenger and the unlocking instruction via the user interface 14 such as a speaker or display. (Step ST46). Specifically, the authentication result notification unit 18 broadcasts the authentication result of the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 through a speaker, or displays the authentication result of the fellow passenger authentication unit 50 on the display. As a result, the driver in the vehicle is reliably notified of the authentication result of the passenger authentication unit 50 from the speaker or display of the portable terminal 9, and the driver confirms that he/she is an appropriate fellow passenger before confirming that the user is in the shared vehicle. 2 can be boarded.
