Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a taxi operation management system that processes and manages information related to taxi operation operations.

Conventionally, taxi operation management has been carried out by the driver himself entering the index of the taximeter in his daily driving report, and by inputting various information in the daily driving report according to the driver's own declaration into a computer one by one, and calculating the data for each business unit. processing and management.

However, such conventional traffic management means have had various disadvantages as described below.

1) It is not possible to immediately notify the driver of the day's driving performance (sales, business hours, number of kilometers traveled, etc.), and it lacks immediacy.

2) Data input according to the driver's own declaration: Since it is a notebook, the data is unreliable, so it is necessary to constantly check the index value of the taximeter and the index information entered in the daily driving report, and the checking work is difficult. The human burden involved is heavy.

3) Immediate and accurate driving guidance to drivers based on their work performance is not possible.

4) The sales amount (cash) received from the driver cannot be immediately checked against the data, so the accuracy of money collection is poor and morale tends to deteriorate.

5) When incorrect data is entered and the taxi is operated by another driver the next day, it is difficult to separate the data between the two drivers.

As described above, various inconveniences have occurred in the conventional traffic management means.

The system control device 201 uses the input information as an RA.
After storing it in M211, it is transferred to CRT display section 203,
Display on CRT screen.

After that, when the date, crew code, business office code, etc. which are not stored in the memory pack 102 are sequentially inputted from the keyboard device 204, based on these information, the business offices registered in advance in the FDD 20γ are entered. , crew, vehicle, etc. are loaded into the RAM 211 and checked.

Furthermore, at this time, the actual value from the day's driving is determined based on the previous final value on the vehicle master and the information read from the memory pack 102, and that information is used as the FDD20γ.
Each memory pack is stored in the area where daily data is accumulated.

Further, this information is displayed on the CRT display device 203, and is also sent to the journal printer 206 and recorded.

When the analysis process for one case of memory puncture is completed, the high-speed printing device 205 prints out data for taxi operation that summarizes the processing results on a daily basis.

Here, with reference to FIG. 3, the control of the scheduler 303 centering on the 5CB 301, which is the core of the system operation, will be explained.

First, menus (for example, daily reports, monthly reports, sales summary tables, etc.) registered in the JMT of the 5CB 301 are displayed on the CRT display section 203, and each business is selected from the displayed contents.

Then, the scheduler 303 executes the JM of 5CB301.
The attributes of each program are extracted based on the PBT, which is a table of attributes of each program group registered in T.

Here, if the program group includes sorting, information on SPT, which is a table of attributes for sorting, is also extracted.

The scheduler 303 controls the flow of each program and the handling of the FDD 207 based on the attribute information of each program of the 5CB 301.

In other words, the attributes of the program to be executed are obtained, and the main memory
After allocating resources such as peripheral devices, control is passed to the corresponding program.

When control is passed to each program, if the program processing ends normally, control is temporarily returned to the scheduler 303, but if there is a program cataloged in the PCT, control is passed to the next program.

Also, if the program terminates abnormally midway, the PCT
Control is passed to the specified return destination depending on the recovery category.

Also, Figure 4 shows the system configuration when the system configuration shown in Figure 2 above is further developed and scaled up.
It is particularly suitable for use in cases where many business offices are scattered in various locations.
