Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a daily operation report device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is GP
The S antenna is installed on the roof of a taxi vehicle. A position calculation device 2 is a GPS that detects the current position of the vehicle based on the GPS signal received by the GPS antenna 1.
It is composed of a receiver. Reference numeral 3 denotes a fare meter as a passenger information generating means, which is operated by a crew member to transmit and receive passenger entry / exit position information and calculate a fare. 4 is a position calculation device 2
And a signal processing device for analyzing the signal from the charge meter 3 to create daily operation report information, which comprises a CPU, a ROM storing an analysis program, and a RAM for temporarily storing data. Reference numeral 5 is an external storage device for storing the output information of the signal processing device 4 and the data of the position calculation device 2, the charge meter 3 and the like. Can be used. 6 is a signal processing device 4
Is a printer for printing the output of the above, and 7 is a communication device for transmitting the output information from the signal processing device 4 to the cab.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. GP
The S antenna 1 always tracks the current position of the taxi based on the signals from the artificial satellites. Position calculation device 2 is GPS
The current position of the taxi is calculated and detected based on the signal from the antenna 1.

On the other hand, when there is a passenger in the taxi and the crew member defeats the fare meter 3, the empty state is switched to the actual vehicle state, and the passenger information of the passenger is transmitted to the signal processing device 4. The signal processing device 4 detects the position when the boarding information is received from the output of the position calculation device 2, and temporarily stores it in the internal memory and also stores it in the external information device 5 for recording.

While the taxi is running, the position calculation device 2 is GP
The current position of the taxi is tracked based on the signal from the S antenna 1, while the fare meter 3 calculates the traveling fare.

When the taxi arrives at the destination and the crew member returns the fare meter 3, the actual vehicle state is switched to the empty state, and the passenger disembarking information is transmitted to the signal processing device 4. The signal processing device 4 detects the position at the time of receiving this getting-off information from the output of the position calculation device 2, and temporarily stores it inside and also stores it in the external information device 5. At the same time, the charge meter 3 transmits the charge information at that time to the signal processing device 4, and temporarily stores the charge information therein and the external storage device 5 as well. In this way, the passenger's entry position, exit position, and fare are stored in the signal processing device 4 and the external storage device 5. If a clock is incorporated in the signal processing device 4, the date and time can be stored at the same time.

The information stored in the signal processing device 4 can be printed and recorded by the printer 6. In addition, the communication device 7
Can transmit information to the outside. That is,
In the communication device 7, the transmission carrier signal can be modulated by the information from the signal processing device 4 and wirelessly transmitted to an office such as a vehicle dispatch room. In the vehicle dispatch room, the current operation status of the taxi is recorded in real time. I can know.

As described above, the driver's daily operation report is automatically created only by operating the normal fare meter without any special operation. Therefore, it is possible to record an accurate operation status without worrying about entry errors. further,
If the external storage device 5 stores the data in an external memory medium, it is possible to print all at once after returning home without printing each time. Therefore, the crew can concentrate on driving without having to worry about creating the daily driving report. Also,
If a dedicated external memory medium is assigned to the crew members and the daily operation status is cumulatively recorded in the external memory media, weekly driving reports and monthly driving reports for the same crew member can be automatically created.

Further, if the output of the signal processing device 4 is wirelessly transmitted to the office by the communication device 7, the operation status of the taxi can be grasped in real time at the office, and effective dispatch can be performed.
