[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automatic fare calculation device that performs fare calculation work in the transportation industry, and in particular, a method for calculating customer-specific special fare calculations that cannot be performed without human intervention. Regarding.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, this kind of freight charge work was done by professionals who, after sorting out the invoices, researched the special contracts by referring to the customer's contract ledger based on the customer's code, and calculated the distance from a table based on the origin and destination. After that, after calculating the freight manually and filling out the slip, the person in charge of entry had to enter all the information again on the screen.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the transportation industry, it is well known that cargo fares are determined based on the standard fare table published by the Ministry of Transport. However, when we investigate the current situation of each transportation company, we find that the reality is that each company determines its own freight rates for each customer due to customer requests and competition to acquire customers. The disadvantage is that it requires freight charges. By analyzing the decision pattern, this unique fare assignment eliminates the need for professionals to make complicated fare decisions. The present invention focuses on the above-mentioned problem and aims to make it possible to automatically charge freight charges without the need for professionals.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the conventional problems, the present invention links with a terminal device connected to an information processing system, and obtains basic data items such as number, weight, distance, customer code, etc. from data input from the terminal device. By doing so, you can refer to the file that stores individual contract details by customer code, and use the method for calculating individual customer charges based on the number of items, weight, etc., the approved method for calculating charges based on the Ministry of Transport's standard fare table, and small-lot home delivery such as department store delivery. has a fare calculation method.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The automatic fare calculation device 1 is composed of a licensed fare calculation device 2, a special contract fare calculation device 3, and a delivery fare calculation device 4, and the licensed fare calculation device 2 includes a route truck fare calculation device 210 and an area truck fare calculation device 220. , the device 22 is a Ministry of Transport standard fare calculation device having a distance system calculation device 221 and a time system calculation device 222. The special contract fare calculation device 3 is an official individual fare calculation device having various common pattern calculation devices 31 and a large customer special contract pattern calculation device 32.

The home delivery fee calculation device 4 is a fee calculation device for use by home delivery services and department stores, which includes a home delivery fee table calculation device 41 and a special contract fee calculation device 42.

Next, the authorized fare calculation means, the special contracted fare calculation means, and the home delivery fare calculation means will be explained with reference to the processing system within the apparatus shown in FIG.

The consignment entry 6 is started using the information processing terminal 5, and the number, weight, customer code, unaccounted for/currently received, and transportation classification are transferred to the freight calculation device 1.

The freight calculation device 1 checks whether the item is current (cash collection) or uncollected (receivable) using the accrued/current 7, and if the current flag is set, the processing in the device is completed and freight calculation is performed. First, data is accumulated in the original document file 25 using the consignment data storage 24. If the flag is not set, it is determined that there is no receipt, and it is determined whether it is delivered to the home using transportation classification 8. If it is home delivery, the delivery fee calculation 1 is performed.
Go to 6. If it is other than home delivery, check whether it is general using transport category 9. If it is other than general, it will be an error. If it is general, check again in approval/special agreement 10. If it is approved, go to approval freight calculation 13. If it is special agreement, go to special agreement. After the fare table search 11, special fare calculation 12 processing is performed.

The home delivery fee calculation 16 determines the fee by referring to the home delivery fee table 17 shown in FIG. Freight charges such as insurance premiums and collection charges are added, and the data is stored in the original document file 25 by the consignment data storage 24.

The special contract fare calculation 12 refers to the contract master 14 in which the details of the fare contract with each customer are set, and transfers the data to the special contract fare calculation 12. In calculation 12, after calculating the special contract fare based on the contents set by dividing the customer-specific fare table by pattern type, the presence or absence is determined in joint calculation 19 as to whether it is combined calculation or total calculation. In this case, in order to calculate the relay fee, the authorized fare table 18 shown in Figure 4 is referred to with the distance calculated based on the address master 21, the relay fee calculation 12 is started, the fare is determined, and the customer information is Accordingly, the various fee contract 22 is judged,
If there is, refer to the customer master 14 and add freight charges such as insurance premiums and collection charges using various charge calculation 23 and store consignment data 2
4, data is accumulated in the original document file 25.

Approved freight calculation 13 records the customer's freight contract details in contract master 1.
4, and based on this content, the approved fare table Table 18
After calculating the fare with reference to , the same processing as the special contract fare calculation 12 is performed after the processing to determine whether to combine or total.

In the fare calculation device 1, fare determination is realized by each of the three calculation means according to the processing contents described above.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention automatically calculates contract files, address files, and various freight tables by using an information processing system terminal instead of the conventional method of manually calculating by referring to a ledger and calculating the contents obtained from a table. By referring to it, it is possible to eliminate freight calculation errors, eliminate the need for professionals, and reduce the burden of on-site work.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to one preferred embodiment thereof, it is merely an example, and the scope of application may be widened depending on the usage method in each transportation company.
