{Method and System for Wide-Area Dispatch of Call Taxis for the Transportation Disadvantaged}

The present invention relates to a method and system for wide-area dispatching of call taxis for the transportation vulnerable. More specifically, the service server assigns a dispatch request from an outside area to a call taxi located outside the area before the call taxi returns to the garage located within the area. It relates to a method and system for dispatching call taxis to the transportation vulnerable in a wide area.

The term ‘transportation-disadvantaged’ refers to people who experience inconvenience in moving around in daily life, such as the disabled, the elderly, pregnant women, people with infants and young children, and children.

People with mobility impairments may find it inconvenient to use regular taxis. For example, when using a mobility aid such as a wheelchair, it is difficult to use a regular vehicle, so a special vehicle designed to accommodate wheelchair use must be used. Accordingly, call taxis exist for the transportation vulnerable.

Basically, call taxis for the transportation vulnerable wait at the garage and operate dispatch requests departing within the area in charge. If there is a follow-up dispatch within the area in charge, the subsequent dispatch can be operated. If there is no , it returns to the garage.

In other words, call taxis for the transportation vulnerable only handled calls (dispatch requests) within the applicable area depending on the area in which they were operated, so if the departure point was the area in charge and the destination was outside the area, there were cases where the taxi returned to the garage from the destination.

Meanwhile, the amendment to the 'Act on the Promotion of Transportation Convenience for the Transportation Disadvantaged' (Act on the Transportation Disadvantaged), which aims to improve the service level of special transportation for the transportation vulnerable, is said to come into effect on July 19, 2023. Accordingly, the scope of call taxi service for the transportation vulnerable was expanded to include provinces where cities and counties belong, as well as nearby special and metropolitan cities.

Accordingly, when the destination is outside the area covered, there is a need for an invention that can reduce the waste of movement lines by processing a dispatch request for a vehicle outside the area covered, depending on the case where the vehicle returns from the destination to the garage.

The present invention relates to a method and system for wide-area dispatching of call taxis for the transportation vulnerable. More specifically, the service server assigns a dispatch request from an outside area to a call taxi located outside the area before the call taxi returns to the garage located within the area. It relates to a method and system for dispatching call taxis to the transportation vulnerable in a wide area.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention is a method of distributing call taxis for the mobility-disadvantaged in a wide area performed by a service server, in which the departure point requested from the transportation-disadvantaged corresponds to the area in charge of the call taxi and the destination is the area in charge of the call taxi.

Figure 1 schematically shows a method and system for wide-area dispatching of call taxis for the transportation vulnerable (2000) performed by the service server 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, the service server 1000 can implement a wide-area dispatch method for call taxis for the transportation vulnerable (2000) by communicating with the call taxi for the transportation vulnerable (2000), and the outside area includes adjacent areas and other areas. And, the adjacent area may include an area extended from the jurisdictional area according to a preset range, and the other area may include an area extended from the adjacent area according to a preset range.

Figure 1 (A) corresponds to a diagram showing the regionalized dispatch system of the Call Taxi for the Mobility Disadvantaged (2000) and the areas within and outside the jurisdiction.

Since the call taxi service for the transportation vulnerable (2000) is operated by the local government, the local government is in charge of the area and can be set as an area within its jurisdiction. The call taxi (2000) for transportation vulnerable users communicates with the service server (1000) to receive a dispatch request and operates the dispatch. If there is no subsequent dispatch, the call taxi (2000) can return to the garage and wait.

Dispatch requests for call taxis (2000) for the transportation vulnerable can be made for dispatch requests that include the departure and destination points within the jurisdiction, and for dispatch requests that include the departure point and destination outside the jurisdiction area and the destination area outside the jurisdiction area. can do.

The present invention, roughly speaking, begins with a dispatch request that includes an area within the jurisdiction as the departure point and an area outside the jurisdiction as the destination, and a call to the outside area before the call taxi (2000) located in the area outside the jurisdiction returns to the depot ( This is about assigning a dispatch request. Details about this will be described later.

The service server 1000 can receive a dispatch request through multiple channels, such as a phone call between a transportation vulnerable person and a counselor or the use of an application by a transportation vulnerable person, and communicates with a call taxi 2000 appropriate for the current situation according to preset rules, etc. You can assign a dispatch to a dispatch request by performing .

The above-mentioned outside area may include adjacent areas and other areas.

The adjacent area may include an area where the preset first range (A) is extended from the jurisdictional area, and the other area may include an area where the preset second range (B) is extended from the adjacent area. .

Preferably, the jurisdictional area, adjacent area, and other areas may be organized according to administrative districts. That is, the adjacent area may correspond to an administrative district around the jurisdictional area surrounding the jurisdictional area, and the other areas may correspond to an administrative district around the adjacent area surrounding the adjacent area.

In Figure 1, the jurisdictional area, adjacent area, and other areas are expressed as circles, but may include various shapes depending on the administrative district.

Figure 1 (B) corresponds to a diagram illustrating a method for wide-area dispatching of call taxis for the transportation vulnerable (2000) performed by the service server (1000).

As shown in (B) of FIG. 1, in the wide-area dispatch method for call taxis (2000) for the transportation vulnerable, performed by the service server (1000), the departure point requested from the transportation vulnerable is the jurisdictional area in charge of the call taxi (2000). an out-of-area dispatching step (S100) of assigning an out-of-area dispatch request to a call taxi (2000), where the destination is an out-of-area area other than the above-mentioned in-area area; Before the call taxi (2000) located in the outside area performs the dispatch request assigned by the outside dispatch step (S100) and returns to the garage located in the area, the departure point for the outside area is determined based on preset rules. And an in- and out-of-area dispatch step (S200) of assigning one or more of the first dispatch request corresponding to the destination and the second dispatch request whose departure is outside the jurisdiction and the destination is within the jurisdiction to the corresponding call taxi (2000). You can.

The wide-area dispatch method for call taxis (2000) for the transportation vulnerable, performed by the service server (1000), may include an outside-the-area dispatch step (S100) and an inside-outside dispatch step (S200).

In the out-of-area dispatch step (S100), the service server 1000 may assign the call taxi 2000 to be dispatched from an area within the area to an area outside the area.

Specifically, the service server 1000 can receive a dispatch request from a transportation disadvantaged person where the departure point is an area within the jurisdiction and the destination is an area outside the jurisdiction including adjacent areas and other areas, and the service server 1000 operates at the garage. The dispatch request can be transmitted to a call taxi (2000) located in the included jurisdiction area. In other words, the service server 1000 can assign a dispatch request from an area within the jurisdiction to an area outside the jurisdiction to the call taxi 2000.

The call taxi 2000 that has received the dispatch request may be located in an out-of-area area by operating a dispatch service in response to the dispatch request.

A call taxi (2000) located in an outside area can receive and operate a dispatch request from an outside area according to the inside/outside dispatch stage (S200) and then return to the garage in the area.

Specifically, the service server 1000 may receive a first dispatch request, which is a dispatch request for a wide-area dispatch from a transportation vulnerable person to an outside area, and a second dispatch request, which is a dispatch request from an outside area to an inside area.

The service server 1000 may assign one or more of the first dispatch request and the second dispatch request to a call taxi 2000 located in an outside area based on a preset rule in the inside/outside dispatching step (S200).

The call taxi 2000 to which the internal and external dispatch step (S200) is applied may correspond to the call taxi 2000 that has judged whether it is suitable to operate the first dispatch request and the second dispatch request according to the assignment suitability judgment step. Details will be explained later.

In addition, depending on the preset rules, the dispatch request assigned to the call taxi 2000 may vary, which will be described in detail later.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the inside/outside dispatch step (S200), the call taxi (2000) returning to the garage from outside the area may proceed in response to the dispatch request while returning, so the call taxi (2000) for the transportation vulnerable is overloaded. ) can be resolved and movement routes can be avoided.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the service server 1000 may assign a plurality of dispatch requests to the call taxi 2000 in the internal/external dispatch step (S200). For example, a plurality of dispatch requests can be assigned according to various combinations, such as two first dispatch requests, one first dispatch request, and one second dispatch request.

Figure 2 schematically shows the allocation suitability determination step according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the method of widening dispatch of call taxis (2000) for the transportation vulnerable, performed by the service server (1000), further includes a step of determining suitability for allocation, and the in-area and outside dispatch step (S200) is the step of determining suitability for allocation. is performed on the call taxi (2000) judged to be suitable for assignment to a dispatch request from an outside area including the first dispatch request and the second dispatch request, and the assignment suitability judgment step is performed on a call taxi (2000) For the jurisdictional area that is the area in charge of the located call taxi (2000), at each preset time, a first score for the operation rate of the corresponding time section based on past operation data for the first preset time section, and a preset time section A score calculation step of calculating a second score for the operation rate of the corresponding time section based on the same-day operation data for the 2-hour section; And based on the first score and the second score calculated in the score calculation step, whether to assign a dispatch request from an area outside the area to the call taxi (2000) according to the operation rate of the area within the area of the call taxi (2000). It may include an assignment judgment step of making a judgment.

The internal and external dispatch step (S200) can be performed on the call taxi (2000) that has been judged suitable in the assignment suitability judgment step.

In the assignment suitability judgment step, the service server 1000 performs a score calculation step and an assignment judgment step to determine whether dispatch to an out-of-area area can be assigned according to the availability of the operation status of the call taxi (2000) in the responsible area.

The service server 1000 includes same-day operation data, which is the operation data of a plurality of call taxis (2000) on the same day, accumulated in real time for the jurisdictional area, which is the area in charge, and a plurality of call taxis accumulated in the past for the jurisdictional area, which is the appropriate area. (2000), past operation data, which is operation data for the past, may be stored. The past operation data may be stored for each date.

In the score calculation step, a first score for the operation rate of the call taxi (2000) can be calculated from the same-day operation data, and a second score for the operation rate of the call taxi (2000) may be calculated from the past operation data. The operation rate may correspond to the ratio of the call taxi (2000) that operates in response to a dispatch request among a plurality of call taxis (2000) belonging to the relevant jurisdiction.

Specifically, the score calculation step may be performed at preset times. The first score may correspond to the score for the operation rate of the call taxi (2000) for the first time section (A) preset in the day's operation data, and the first score will be calculated as a higher score as the operation rate is higher. You can.

The preset first time section (A) may correspond to a past time from the time when the score calculation step is performed (current (16:00) in FIG. 2).

The second score may correspond to the score for the operation rate of the call taxi (2000) for the second time section (B) preset in the past operation data, and the second score will be calculated as a higher score as the operation rate is higher. You can.

The preset second time section (B) may correspond to the time before or after the time at which the score calculation step is performed (current (16:00) in FIG. 2).

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second score is calculated for a preset second time section before and after the time when the score calculation step is performed based on past operation data, so future patterns are predicted from past data. It can have the effect of calculating one score.

The allocation judgment step can determine whether the call taxi (2000) belonging to the relevant area within the jurisdiction is suitable for performing a dispatch request for an area outside the jurisdiction based on the first score and the second score calculated in the score calculation step.

Specifically, in the allocation judgment stage, a summed score can be calculated by adding the first score and the second score, and if the summed score is higher than the preset standard score, a plurality of call taxis (2000) belonging to the relevant jurisdiction area , it may be judged that it is sufficient to handle dispatch requests for areas within the jurisdiction, and that support for dispatch requests for areas outside the jurisdiction is not appropriate.

In other words, if the combined score is higher than the preset standard score, it can be determined that the call taxi (2000) allocation for dispatch requests (first dispatch request and second dispatch request) from out-of-area areas is not appropriate.

If the service server 1000 determines that it is not suitable in the assignment decision step, it may not perform the in-area/outside dispatch step (S200). Accordingly, a call taxi (2000) located in an out-of-area area and belonging to an in-area area determined to be unsuitable in the allocation judgment stage can move to the in-area area in order to service a dispatch request for the in-area area.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the allocation judgment step, if the operation rate of call taxis (2000) in the area within the jurisdiction is high, the inside/outside dispatch step (S200) is not performed and the dispatch request to the area outside the jurisdiction is not operated. This can be effective in maximizing dispatch requests to the region.

Figure 3 schematically shows a first dispatch request and a second dispatch request according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 3, the first dispatch request is made when the departure point corresponds to the above-mentioned other area and the destination corresponds to the above-mentioned other area, and the departure point corresponds to the above-mentioned other area and the destination corresponds to the above-mentioned adjacent area. , and the case where the departure point corresponds to the above contiguous area and the destination corresponds to the above contiguous area, and the second dispatch request is made when the departure point corresponds to the above other area and the destination corresponds to the above jurisdiction area. , and the case where the departure point corresponds to the above adjacent area and the destination corresponds to the above jurisdictional area.

Figure 3 (A) corresponds to a diagram showing the first dispatch request.

The first dispatch request may correspond to a dispatch request within an outside area.

Specifically, since the out-of-area area includes adjacent areas and other areas, the origin and destination may be combined according to the adjacent areas and other areas. The first dispatch request may correspond to a dispatch request within each of the adjacent areas and other areas, and to and from the adjacent areas and other areas.

In other words, the first dispatch request is a dispatch request where the departure point is an adjacent area and the destination is another area, a dispatch request where the departure point is an adjacent area and the destination is an adjacent area, a dispatch request where the departure point is an adjacent area and the destination is another area, and a dispatch request where the departure point is an adjacent area and the destination is other areas. It may correspond to any one of the dispatch requests that are in a region and the destination is an adjacent region.

Figure 3(B) corresponds to a diagram showing the second dispatch request.

The second dispatch request may correspond to a request for dispatch from an area outside the jurisdiction to an area within the jurisdiction.

Specifically, since the out-of-area area includes adjacent areas and other areas, the starting point may correspond to each of the adjacent areas and other areas.

In other words, the second dispatch request may correspond to one of a dispatch request where the departure point is an adjacent area and the destination area is an area within the jurisdiction, and a dispatch request where the departure point is another area and the destination area is within the jurisdiction.

Figure 4 schematically shows the first rule and the second rule among the preset rules according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the preset rule is based on the last destination after operating any one of the out-of-area dispatch request, the first dispatch request, and the second dispatch request of the call taxi 2000. Includes a first rule for allocating the first dispatch request or the second dispatch request to a departure point within a set radius, and among the out-of-area dispatch request, the first dispatch request, and the second dispatch request of the call taxi (2000) It may include a second rule for assigning the first dispatch request or the second dispatch request to a departure point that can be moved within a preset reference time based on the last destination after operating either one.

Figure 4(A) corresponds to a diagram illustrating the first rule.

The preset rules applied in the internal/external distribution step (S200) may include the first rule.

The first rule may correspond to a rule that assigns to the call taxi (2000) a dispatch request that includes a departure point within a preset radius based on the destination of the dispatch request operated by the call taxi (2000).

Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the call taxi 2000 operates an out-of-area dispatch request according to the out-of-area dispatch step (S100), and may be located at a destination within an out-of-area area included in the out-of-area dispatch request. . For the call taxi 2000, the service server 1000 performs an internal and external dispatch step (S200) and can apply the first rule.

In other words, the service server 1000 can apply the first rule and assign the first or second dispatch request to the call taxi (2000) for the departure point within a preset radius based on the destination of the out-of-area dispatch request. there is.

In Figure 4 (A), if the first rule is applied in the internal/external dispatch step (S200), dispatch can be assigned to the destination (B) within a preset radius (A) based on the destination where the call taxi (2000) is located. However, dispatch assignment is not possible for destinations (C) outside the preset radius (A).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, by applying the first rule in the internal/external dispatch step (S200), the effect of not wasting the movement line of the call taxi (2000) can be achieved.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, in the internal/external dispatch step (S200), the service server 1000 may assign one or more of the first dispatch request and the second dispatch request to the call taxi 2000 by applying the first rule. there is. For example, a first dispatch request may be assigned first, and a second dispatch request may be assigned to a departure location within a preset radius of the destination of the first dispatch request.

Figure 4(B) corresponds to a diagram illustrating the second rule.

The preset rules applied in the internal/external distribution step (S200) may include the second rule.

The second rule may correspond to a rule that assigns to the call taxi (2000) a dispatch request that includes a departure point within a preset standard time based on the destination of the dispatch request operated by the call taxi (2000).

Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the call taxi 2000 operates an out-of-area dispatch request according to the out-of-area dispatch step (S100), and may be located at a destination within an out-of-area area included in the out-of-area dispatch request. . For the call taxi 2000, the service server 1000 performs an internal and external dispatch step (S200), and the second rule can be applied.

In other words, the service server 1000 applies the second rule and sends the first or second dispatch request to the departure point that can be moved within the preset standard time based on the destination of the out-of-area dispatch request to the corresponding call taxi (2000). can be assigned to.

In Figure 4 (B), if the second rule is applied in the internal/external dispatch step (S200), the call taxi (2000) can travel within a preset reference time (B' minutes and C' minutes) based on the destination. Dispatching is possible for destinations (B and C), but not for destinations (D) that can travel beyond the preset standard time (D' minutes).

According to one embodiment of the present invention, when applying the second rule in the internal/external dispatch step (S200), it can be implemented by drawing an isochronous line from the corresponding location to each departure point for each time within the preset reference time. there is.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, since the second rule is applied in the intra- and external bus dispatch step (S200), it is possible to save time on picking up transportation vulnerable people.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the service server 1000 may apply one or more of the first rule and the second rule in the internal and external distribution step (S200).

Figure 5 schematically shows the third and fourth rules among the preset rules according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the preset rule allows the call taxi 2000 to operate on one or more of the first dispatch request and the second dispatch request to be assigned in the in-area/outside dispatch step (S200). Then, a third rule may be included for assigning the first dispatch request and the second dispatch request so that the return time from the last destination to the garage corresponds to the work regulation time.

The preset rules applied in the internal/external distribution step (S200) may include the third rule.

The third rule may correspond to a rule that requires call taxis (2000) to arrive at the garage within the working hours based on the last destination of the dispatch request.

Specifically, according to an embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 5, the service server 1000 sends the first dispatch request (B) and the second dispatch request (C and D) according to the internal and external dispatch step (S200). can be assigned to Call Taxi (2000). When applying the third rule in allocation, the time of moving from the final destination (E, the destination of dispatch request D) for the dispatch request assigned in the above internal/external dispatch step (S200) to the garage is within the work regulation time. You can assign a dispatch request that can be operated accordingly.

In other words, the service server 1000 can apply the third rule and assign a vehicle to return to the garage within the working hours in the internal/external dispatch step (S200).

The working hours may preferably refer to work time.

In Figure 5, for convenience in representing the drawing, the origin and destination of the dispatch request are connected, but the call taxi (2000) can move from the destination of the previous dispatch request to the origin of the subsequent dispatch request according to the dispatch request.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the third rule is applied in the internal/external dispatch step (S200), so that the call taxi (2000) driver can comply with the working hours regulations.

Meanwhile, the preset rules applied in the internal/external distribution step (S200) may include the fourth rule.

The fourth rule is that the call taxi (2000) is dispatched so as not to disturb the rest time according to the operating time for one or more of the first dispatch request and the second dispatch request to be assigned in the intra- and external dispatch step (S200). This may correspond to the allocation rule.

Specifically, since the driver of a call taxi (2000) must be guaranteed rest time according to the work regulations, the service server (1000) applies the fourth rule and determines the destination of the dispatch request, including the first and second dispatch requests. Dispatch can be assigned by adjusting the arrival time to do not infringe on the rest time, and adjust the departure time from the origin of the dispatch request, including the first and second dispatch requests, so that it does not infringe on the rest time. This allows you to assign dispatch.

In Figure 5, it can be seen that the arrival time of dispatch request B does not violate the rest time, and dispatch request C also does not violate the rest time.

Figure 6 schematically shows the fifth rule among the preset rules according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 6 (A) corresponds to a diagram showing a comparison between waiting time and reference time.

Figure 6 (B) corresponds to a diagram showing the allocation of dispatch requests within the outlying area.

As shown in FIG. 6, the pre-established rule is that, in the case where a transportation vulnerable person located in an outside area is not assigned a dispatch request and the waiting time is longer than the standard time, the transportation disadvantaged person is provided with a call taxi located in an outside area (2000). ) may be included in the fifth rule that assigns priority.

Specifically, in cases where transportation-disadvantaged people in out-of-area areas who have requested dispatch are not assigned a dispatch request and the waiting time is longer than the standard time, call taxis (2000) belonging to out-of-area areas are used due to the high operating rate. You may be in a situation where you are not assigned. To solve this problem, in the present invention, a dispatch can be assigned to a call taxi (2000) from another area.

In other words, according to the out-of-area dispatch step (S100), a call taxi (2000) located in an out-of-area area may be assigned a dispatch request from a mobility-disadvantaged person whose waiting time is longer than the standard time according to the inside-outside dispatch step (S200).

For example, in (B) of Figure 6, the operation rate in area B is high, and B taxis #1 and #2, which are call taxis (2000) belonging to area B, are assigned to the dispatch request of transportation vulnerable people located in area B. In cases where taxis cannot be received (e.g., when taxi B #1 or #2 is in operation or a subsequent dispatch request has been assigned, etc.), taxi A, a call taxi (2000) belonging to area A, is assigned according to the assignment suitability judgment stage. If suitable, the dispatch request for the above-mentioned transportation area may be assigned to Taxi A.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, wide-area dispatch can be made for call taxis (2000) belonging to other regions according to the fifth rule, so that dispatch can be quickly assigned to mobility-disadvantaged people whose waiting time is more than the preset standard time. It can be effective.
