Further, the tank truck is provided with a plurality of hatches, so that one delivery can go to a plurality of gas stations.

[0003] On the other hand, an oil depot for loading the oil liquid on the tank lorry is provided with a host computer for managing the shipping status of the oil liquid for each tank lorry. In addition, a hatch setting device is provided at the oil depot to assign how to load the liquid type and quantity to each hatch of the tank truck based on the reservation data registered in the host computer.

When the lorry arrives at the shipping stage, the lorry's vehicle number card is inserted into a card reader to read the vehicle number code. This allows
From the host computer at the oil depot, the reservation data including the reserved quantity set for each tank hatch for the tank truck corresponding to the vehicle number code is output to the shipping control devices at a plurality of shipping stages.

Next, after connecting the grounding device to the tank truck, the driver installs the loading arm of the liquid species to be loaded in each hatch of the tank among the loading arms provided on the shipping stage for each liquid species of the oil liquid. It is inserted, and the hatch card reader provided on this loading arm is made to read the hatch card attached to the filler port of the hatch by a chain or the like. Subsequently, the driver sets the loading amount by using the loading amount setting switch of the loading arm and operates the shipping start switch, and the shipping control device causes the loading arm to determine the liquid type of the loading arm, the loading amount, and the reservation data. Oil liquid is loaded into the hatch on the condition that the reserved liquid type and the reserved quantity corresponding to the hatch match.

As a result, the pump connected to the loading arm in the shipping stage is started and the metering valve is opened, and the oil liquid is loaded in each hatch of the tank truck.

In such a case, the arrival time at the gas station may be delayed. Therefore, if the arrival time of the first gas station is delayed,
The arrival times of the second and third filling stations will also be delayed, and when they arrive at the last filling station, they will be greatly delayed by the accumulated delay time at each filling station. Further, the tank truck travels back and forth between the oil depot and the gas station several times a day, so the delivery to the gas station scheduled at the end of the day is most delayed.

At the gas station, the kind and quantity of the liquid are ordered from the oil tank station according to the decrease in the liquid level of the underground tank. Therefore, if the arrival of the tank truck is significantly delayed, the underground tank will be emptied. I cannot refuel my fuel tank.
Therefore, when the arrival of a tank truck arrives later than expected, the gas station calls the oil tank to confirm the departure time of the tank truck and predicts the arrival time.

In this way, when the arrival time of the tank truck arrives at each gas station is delayed, inquiries from each gas station rush to the gas station, so that the staff at the gas station is chased by the response and each gas station is refueled. There is a problem that it takes time and effort to respond to the office and it hinders the original work of shipping management.

Now, the processing executed by the host computer 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In step S1 (hereinafter “step” is omitted), the host computer 3 waits in a state of waiting for reception from the public line 13.

If the gas station owns the tank truck 5, or if there is a contract with the shipping company that owns the tank truck 5, the vehicle code of the tank truck 5 in which the oil liquid is loaded at the oil tank station. Since the vehicle number code for identifying the vehicle or the transportation company code to which the tank truck 5 belongs is known, the vehicle code of the tank truck 5 is directly transmitted from the gas station.

In the next S2, it is judged whether or not the vehicle code is received from the public line 13, and when the vehicle code is not received through the public line 13, the process returns to S1. However, when the vehicle code is received via the public line 13, the process proceeds to S3 and the vehicle data (vehicle information) is read from the vehicle master file 3a ₁ .

Subsequently, in S4, the vehicle master file 3a ₁
It is determined whether or not there is a vehicle number code or a shipping company code corresponding to the received vehicle code in the vehicle data (vehicle information) read from. Here, if the vehicle number code or the transportation company code corresponding to the vehicle code does not exist in the vehicle data (vehicle information) read from the vehicle master file 3a ₁ , the process proceeds to S5, and there is no corresponding vehicle. Create data (input error) (see FIG. 6). Then, the data created in S6, in this case, the data without a corresponding vehicle (input error) is transmitted to the terminal device 15 on the gas station side via the public line 13.

However, in S4, the vehicle data (vehicle information) read from the vehicle master file 3a ₁
If there is a vehicle number code or a shipping company code corresponding to the received vehicle code, the process proceeds to S7 to determine whether the received vehicle code is the shipping company code.

When the vehicle code received in S7 is the transportation company code, the process proceeds to S8 and all vehicle numbers (vehicle number codes) having the same transportation company code are retrieved from the vehicle master file 3a ₁ . Then, in S9, the reservation data having the same vehicle number is read from the reservation data file 3a ₂ . If the received vehicle code is the vehicle number code in S7, the process of S8 is omitted and
Go to 9.

Subsequently, in S10, the reservation data file 3a
It is determined whether or not the reservation data of the vehicle number code is stored in ₂ . In this S10, when the reservation data of the vehicle No. code is not stored in the reservation data file 3a ₂ creates data without reservation data proceeds to S11 (error). Then, the process proceeds to S6 and the data (error) without reservation data created in S11 is transferred to the public line 1
3 to the terminal device 15 on the gas station side.

If the reservation data of the vehicle number code is stored in the reservation data file 3a ₂ in S10, the process proceeds to S12 to create shipping information for the tank truck (see FIG. 7). Then, the process proceeds to S6 and the shipping information of the tank truck created in S12 is transmitted to the terminal device 15 on the gas station side via the public line 13. Incidentally, the above S7

FIG. 6 is a display example when there is no vehicle data corresponding to the received vehicle code. That is, the lorry vehicle shipping information 41 shown in FIG. 6 is a display example of the data (input error) without the corresponding vehicle created in S5.

FIG. 7 is a display example of operation information when the received code is the transportation company code. That is, the locomotive vehicle shipping information 42 shown in FIG. 7 is a display example in the case where all vehicle numbers (vehicle codes) having the same shipping company code are retrieved from the vehicle master file 3a _{1 in} S8.

FIG. 8 is a display example of operation information when the received code is a vehicle number code. That is, the Lori vehicle shipping information 43 shown in FIG. 8 is stored in the reservation data file 3 in S9.
This is a display example in the case of retrieving reservation data having a matching vehicle number (vehicle code) from a ₂ .

Further, the terminal device 15 of the gas station can print the created data displayed on the CRT display 15a on the paper by the printer 15d by operating the keyboard 15b. In that case, the display examples of FIGS. 6 to 8 are printed as they are. Therefore, the operator of the terminal device 15 at the gas station can confirm the loading status of the oil liquid on the tank truck 5 and the estimated time of arrival at the gas station from the created data displayed on the CRT display 15a, and also the printer. Since it is also possible to print on paper at 15d, other workers at the gas station can be notified of the loading status of the oil liquid on the tank truck 5 and the oil tank depart time (shipping completion time).

As described above, since the host computer 3 automatically sends the shipping information of the tank truck 5 to the gas filling station in response to the inquiry from the terminal device 15 of the gas filling station, the staff at the oil depot will receive the inquiry from the gas filling station. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the original shipping management work from being hindered.

FIG. 10 is a display example of operation information when the received code is a customer code. That is, the lorry vehicle shipping information 44 shown in FIG. 10 is a display example when the reservation data having the same customer code is retrieved from the reservation data file 3a _{2 in} S27.

In this case, since the vehicle corresponding to the customer code is determined when the reservation is entered from the gas station, the tank truck 5 to be delivered can be specified by the customer code. Only the shipping status of the tank truck 5 is displayed. Therefore, the terminal device 15 of the gas station does not have to look at the shipping status of the unrelated tank lorry vehicle, and when the lorry vehicle shipping information from the host computer 3 is received, the shipping status for the tank lorry vehicle 5 is immediately confirmed. be able to.

As a modified example of the present invention, for example, the terminal device 15 may instead transmit the vehicle code or the customer code to the host computer 3 via the public line 13 by operating the ten-key button of a touch-tone telephone or by a bar code reader. You can In that case, the locomotive vehicle shipping information from the host computer 3 is transmitted to the facsimile of the gas station via the public line 13, and the display contents shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 and 10 are printed on paper.

If the facsimile is equipped with a touch-tone telephone, the vehicle code or the customer code is transmitted to the host computer 3 using the facsimile touch-tone telephone. In that case, the ten-key button of the touch-tone telephone is operated according to the announcement from the host computer 3 to transmit the vehicle code or the customer code.

In the above embodiment, the oil tank place where the oil liquid is loaded on the hatch of the tank truck is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the hatch of the tank truck is loaded with chemicals or food products for delivery. The present invention can also be applied to a delivery system that operates.

Further, in the above embodiment, the shipping completion time can be confirmed by the locomotive vehicle shipping information, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the shipping completion time, the distance to the gas station, the moving system path, etc. It is also possible to calculate the arrival time at the gas station from the above and to notify the estimated time of arrival at the gas station. Therefore, even when the tank truck 5 arrives later than expected, the estimated arrival time of the tank truck 5 is known from the shipping information transmitted from the oil tank station, and the fueling of the vehicle fuel tank is adjusted according to the estimated arrival time. can do.
