LUGGAGE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM USING AN ELECTRIC RAILWAY AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a package delivery system and a delivery method using a train, and more particularly, to a package delivery system and a delivery method for delivering a package to a recipient using a train constructed in a metropolitan area more quickly. .

A general package delivery service is a package delivery service in which a service courier visits a sender in person, receives goods and documents delivered, and then visits and delivers a recipient to receive the package. Air courier service that delivers packages quickly to the airport, and motorcycle courier service that delivers packages relatively quickly in large urban areas where traffic jams occur frequently, using small land transportation such as motorcycles. In the case of a courier service, a package can be delivered more quickly and conveniently than a normal postal service delivered through a post office, and the number of users is increasing rapidly in recent years.

However, in the case of using the motorcycle courier service as described above, the sender may bring the package to be delivered to the courier service counter and receive it directly, or after calling the courier service courier, the courier service courier may visit the sender directly. You have to wait at the place of call until you deliver the package yourself. In fact, only a few couriers are open in the metropolitan area, so they usually wait at the place of call until the courier delivers them directly, then deliver the package directly. Most of the time.

Therefore, the sender must wait at the place of call such as an office until the courier service person visits the person directly, and it is difficult for the recipient to accurately predict the time required for delivering the package in the metropolitan area where frequent traffic jams occur. There is an inconvenience to wait for the arrival of the blindly.

Moreover, when the payee is away due to urgent work, there is a problem that the package is frequently returned or processed on behalf of the recipient so that the package is not delivered correctly to the payee.

Therefore, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages, by using a train built in the metropolitan area to deliver the package quickly to the train station to be transported, the delivered package is quickly and accurately received by the recipient It is an object of the present invention to provide a package delivery system and method thereof.

In addition, another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to deliver a package using a train, by classifying the train station according to a certain method, and then select a delivery route between the train stations, a package delivery system having a smooth delivery system And to provide a method thereof.

It includes.

Here, the delivery route calculating unit calculates a delivery route as follows when the first base station closest to the sending station and the second base station closest to the arrival station are the same.

Delivery route = first route + second route

First route: the route from the sending station to the first base station

Second Route: Route from the first base station to the arrival station

In this case, the delivery time calculating unit calculates the delivery time along the calculated delivery route according to the train times of the first freight transport means and the second freight transport means as follows.

Delivery time = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

t1: waiting time for the second means of transport at the dispatch station

t2: time to deliver the package from the sending station to the first base station

t3: waiting time for the second freight transportation means at the first base station (or the second base station)

t4 is the time for transporting the package from the first base station (or the second base station) to the arrival station.

The delivery route calculating unit may further include a case in which the first base station closest to the sending station and the second base station closest to the arrival station are not the same, and the sending station and the arrival station are located on the same line, and the nearest station to the sending station. When the first base station and the second base station closest to the arrival station are not the same and the sending station and the arrival station are located on different lines, a delivery route is calculated as follows.

Delivery Route = First Route + Second Route + Third Route

First route: the route from the sending station to the first base station

Second Route: Route from the first base station to the arrival station

Third route: the route from the first base station to the second base station

At this time, the delivery time calculation unit calculates the delivery time as follows according to the calculated delivery route.

Delivery time = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

t1: waiting time for the second means of transport at the dispatch station

t2: time to deliver the package from the sending station to the first base station

t3: waiting time for the second freight transportation means at the first base station (or the second base station)

t4 is the time for transporting the package from the first base station (or the second base station) to the arrival station.

The delivery time calculation unit may be configured when the first base station and the second base station are not the same according to the train times of the first freight transporter and the second freight transporter, and the dispatching station and the arrival station are located on different routes. The delivery time according to the calculated delivery route is calculated as follows.

Delivery time = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4 + t5 + t6

t1: waiting time for the second means of transport at the dispatch station

t2: time to deliver the package from the sending station to the first base station

t3: waiting time for the second freight transportation means at the first base station (or the second base station)

t4 is the time for transporting the package from the first base station (or the second base station) to the arrival station.

t5: waiting time for the first freight transportation means at the first base station

t6: time for transporting packages from the first base station to the second base station

Here, the base station may be a transit station located on a circular route, wherein the first freight transport means performs loading and unloading of the cargo, and the second freight transport means operates a line in which an individual station is located. In this case, it is preferable to load the cargo and only unload the cargo when traveling in a direction corresponding to the driving direction.

In addition, the delivery system according to a feature of the present invention further includes a ticket issuing unit for issuing a delivery table in which the arrival station and the dispatch station, the calculated delivery route and delivery time, and the recipient information are displayed.

Here, the train includes a subway, and thus, the train station also includes a subway station.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with which those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention.

1 illustrates a train route diagram of the city of Seoul.

As shown in FIG. 1, trains are generally constructed and operated like a mesh network throughout metropolitan areas such as Seoul and Busan. For example, in the case of Seoul City, adjacent train stations such as Suwon, Incheon, Bundang and Ilsan, etc. In connection with the city, it is currently used as a public transportation with the highest utilization rate.

As such, trains with the highest utilization rate of public transportation have proven rapid and accurate transit times and operational stability, and new train lines are being further developed despite huge investments in development. And it is clear that it will be an essential means of transportation in the metropolitan area directly connecting homes.

In the case of Seoul shown in FIG. 1, 379 stations (including 68 unopened stations as of January 2000) are constructed on eight lines managed by the Seoul Subway Corporation, the Urban Railway Corporation, and the Korean National Railroad Administration. Seoul and the suburbs of Seoul are covered with a net.

As such, in a state in which the train lines are intricately intertwined, it is not easy to select a route for delivering a package between a departure station at which package delivery starts and an arrival station at which the package is delivered among 379 stations. In addition, when selecting a station through which a package is routed in consideration of the shortest transport distance or the minimum transport time, various variables such as a slight difference in transport distance or a difference in transport time must be considered in advance. If not taken into account, efficient package delivery may not be achieved, and may not serve the purpose of delivering packages quickly.

Therefore, in the present invention, after setting the most important line (for example, a circular line) among a plurality of train lines crossing each other, the main transfer station of the set core line is set as a base station, and this base station is set. As a reference, a delivery route between the departure station and the arrival station is established.

2 illustrates a delivery route of a package delivered by a package delivery system using a train according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In the present invention, as shown in the accompanying FIG. 2, the main line is a main transit station with a circular line (for example, line 2 in the case of Seoul) as a base station. In this case, the base station (ma, m2, m3) is selected as a station where the circulation line and other lines intersect, and serve as a distributed logistics base, and each has several substations (s1, s2, s3).

As such, when a plurality of train stations are classified into a base station and a sub-station, which are distributed logistics bases, it is possible to systematically design a delivery system for transporting cargo using train lines, which are infrastructure networks.

The advantage of such a system is that, firstly, considering the transit station, it can cope properly with the railway lines in which different routes are complicated. In other words, given that the logistics base cannot be rescued at all transit stations, it is possible to make use of the fact that cross-stations in the circulation line intersect a plurality of lines as the main logistics base.

Second, since only cargo is sent from the lower station to the base station and cargo is received from the base station to the lower station, it is possible to absolutely save time as well as manpower and expenses in consideration of numerous subway stations and numerous events. There is an advantage.

In other words, the cargo to be delivered to the subordinate station is classified in the vehicle because the quantity of the cargo is relatively small in light of the entire subway station, and the cargo to be transported to other routes is collected at the base station. Can then be shipped.

In such a delivery system, a train vehicle can be used as a means of transporting cargo, for example, a train to transport cargo to a locomotive section can be used as a transportation means, or a space for loading cargo can be provided by modifying a vehicle in operation. Can be used for transportation.

In order to operate a freight train that delivers cargo between base stations on a circulation line, freight trains can be divided into ascending and descending lines depending on the type of operation.

Therefore, you can choose the up or down line according to the location of the base station where the cargo is transported.For example, if you are transporting cargo from one base station to the next base station, even if the base station you want to transport the cargo is in the opposite position, Regardless of whether the freight train is a descending line or an uplink line, the train can be selected and delivered according to the train operation time, and thus the time required for the delivery can be estimated within the set maximum limit.

In this embodiment, it is preferable that the freight transport train starting from the base station and operating along the circulation line delivers freight after a predetermined time behind the passenger-only train. This is because freight trains, unlike passenger-only trains, do not stop at all stations in the circulation line, but only stop at the base station to send and receive freight, which takes a certain amount of time depending on the loading and unloading of such freight. That is, it is preferable that the passenger-only train and the freight transportation train operate at predetermined time intervals because the time required for the passenger to get on and off may be longer than the time required for exchanging and receiving cargo.

Therefore, the freight train can be operated by utilizing the allocation interval of the passenger-only train appropriately. For this purpose, the passenger-only train can be operated for a predetermined time, for example, when the operating interval of the passenger-only train is 7 minutes. Carrying freight with time intervals and freight trains can prevent passengers from having to wait for freight trains to leave without interrupting the flow of passenger-only trains.

Using this method, it is easy to calculate the maximum value of cargo delivery time between base stations. That is, the maximum time can be considered by using a specific method rather than the benefit of the optimal method considering various events.

Next, we will explain the delivery method between the base station and the lower station.

As shown in FIG. 2, a first base station m1 and a second base station m3 are set between the departure station A and the arrival station C. As shown in FIG. In this case, the cargo is delivered from the departure station, ie, the dispatch station A, to the arrival station C via the first base station m1 and the second base station m3.

Cargo is transported between the base station (A) and the first base station (m1) and between the second base station (m3) and the arrival station (C) by a train operating between the base station and the individual station, and the first base station (m1). Cargo is transported between the base station and the second base station (m3) by a train operating between the base stations.

According to this delivery route, the present invention may define the total freight delivery time in several embodiments as follows.

(1) Waiting time (t1) when delivering cargo from individual station (shipping station) to base station

t1: min1 ≤ t1 ≤ max1

(2) Time required to deliver cargo from individual station (shipping station) to base station (t2)

t2: min2 ≤ t2 ≤ max2

(3) Waiting time for delivering cargo from the base station to the base station (t3)

t3: min3 ≤ t3 ≤ max3

(4) Time required to deliver the cargo from the base station to the base station (t4)

t4: min4 ≤ t4 ≤ max4

(5) Waiting time (t5) when delivering cargo from base station to individual station (arrival station)

t5: min5 ≤t5 ≤max5

(6) Time required to deliver the cargo from the base station to the individual station (arrival station) (t6)

t6: min6 ≤ t6 ≤ max6

Here, the maximum time max of each step may be estimated, and the minimum time min may also be estimated.

In this way, when estimating the time required to deliver the cargo from the dispatch station to the arrival station, the maximum delivery time f (t) according to the arrival and delivery of the train delivering the cargo satisfies the relationship of min1 + min2 + min3 + min4 + min5 + min6 ≤f (t) ≤max1 + max2 + max3 + max4 + max5 + max6 Done.

On the other hand, the base station can be designated as the logistics classification base, and the individual station can be defined as a station that only sends cargo to the base station or receives it as the base station.

More specifically, if a large number of stations each serve to receive, sort and deliver cargo, the amount of work is increased, and each individual station then judges the loading or unloading of the train according to the cargo. shall. Therefore, when the amount of cargo is congested, there is a problem that individual stations (except for the station station) cannot function properly.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the train heading from the individual station to the base station is designated as a down train and the train heading from the base station to the individual station is a down train, the upstream train carries cargo and the down train is a cargo. The task is to perform a task that only lowers the cost.

According to this method, the base station classifies the cargo transported from the individual station, especially if the destination of the cargo is located on the same route as the individual station to which the cargo is carried, the cargo is handed over to the downstream train, and the arrival station of the cargo When located on a separate route from the transported individual station, the cargo is handed over to a freight train operating between the base stations. Therefore, the sorting, loading or unloading of the cargo does not occur at each of the numerous stations, and only what happens at each station is determined by what kind of station the route corresponds to. This can be managed systematically and comprehensively.

According to this concept, the delivery system according to the embodiment of the present invention operates as follows.

(1) Each railway station is classified into a base station and an individual station according to its position on the line, where individual stations serve only to receive or deliver cargo, and the base station serves as a cargo sorting base in addition to receiving or delivering such cargo. It also plays a role.

(2) A freight transport train operating between a base station and an individual station performs only one of loading or unloading cargo depending on the direction of each train and at each point in time, and both may be performed at the base station. have. Here, each time point may be determined according to the geographical relationship between the individual station where the train enters when the freight train is located between the base stations.

(3) Freight transport trains operating between base stations shall not stop at individual stations between base stations.

The structure and operation of a delivery system according to an embodiment of the present invention for delivering a cargo under such an assumption will be described in detail.

3 shows the structure of a package delivery system using a train according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the package delivery system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a key input unit 10, a memory 15, a processing device 20, an image signal processing unit 25, a display unit 30, A code / text processor 35, a ticket issuance unit 40, and a code reader 45, a voice message storage unit 50, an audio signal processor 55, and a communication network connection unit 60 are included.

The key input unit 10 inputs the arrival station and the recipient information where the package will finally arrive at the time of shipment of the package, and also inputs the recipient information such as a password at the time of receipt of the package. The memory 15 stores train route information for setting a delivery route, and delivery information including a consignee information and a delivery processing state.

The code / character processing unit 35 converts the input destination station, the addressee information, and the information such as the delivery route and the package identification number calculated by the control device 20 into text and electronic recognition codes, and performs signal processing, and the ticket issuing unit 40 ) Outputs a ticket in which the character and the electronic recognition code signaled by the code / character processing unit 35 are displayed. The ticket output from the ticket generating unit 40 is a delivery table for the delivery of the cargo by the courier service deliveryman, a receipt table that is a receipt for delivery, an exchange ticket for receiving a package, and the like.

The image signal processor 25 processes the information input through the key input unit 10 or the result processed by the control device 20 into an image, and the display unit 30 performs the signal processed by the image signal processor 25. Is displayed. Therefore, the user can directly check various information such as whether the package is received or not, the delivery result, through the display unit 30.

The code reading unit 45 reads a plurality of pieces of information recorded in the form of an electronic recognition code on a plurality of tickets output from the ticket issuing unit 40 for package delivery, and is recorded in, for example, an exchange table for package receipt. Read the package identification number.

The voice message storage unit 50 stores voice data for guiding a package delivery path, a package arrival fact, etc. according to the package delivery reception, and the audio signal processor 55 controls the voice message under the control of the controller 20. The audio data stored in the storage unit 50 is converted into an audio signal.

The communication network connection unit 60 connects to a telephone network (PSTN) or a wireless communication network under the control of the control device 20 and transmits an audio signal output from the audio signal processing unit 55 to a specific terminal. For example, the memory 15 In accordance with the recipient information stored in), an audio signal indicating the package delivery path or the fact that the package has arrived according to the package delivery is transmitted to the recipient's landline telephone or wireless terminal.

The control device 20 controls the operation of each of the above-described components so that delivery, receipt, etc. of the package can be smoothly performed. More specifically, the delivery route calculation unit controlling the package delivery operation according to package delivery reception. (21), a delivery time calculating section 22 and a delivery processing section 23, and a cargo receipt processing section 24 for controlling the package receipt processing according to the package delivery completion, and controls the display and transmission operation of various information An information providing unit 25 is included.

When the operation mode is set by the key input unit 10 to the delivery ticket release mode according to the package delivery reception, the delivery route calculation unit 21 transfers the package from the current dispatching station to the arrival station according to the positional relationship between the dispatching station and the arrival station. The delivery route for delivery is calculated, and the delivery time calculation unit 22 calculates the delivery time required according to the calculated delivery route.

The delivery processing unit 23 controls the code / character processing unit 35 and the ticket issuing unit 40 according to the calculated delivery route and delivery time so as to output the delivery table, and in addition, the audio signal processing unit 55 and the communication network. The connection unit 60 is controlled so that the calculated delivery route is notified to the recipient or sender, or transmitted to a delivery system installed at another subway station.

The load receiving processing unit 24 compares the payee information input through the key input unit 10 with the payee information stored in the memory 15 to perform a checkee confirmation process, and according to the check result, the code / character processing unit 35 and the ticket The issuer 40 is controlled to issue an exchange ticket for receiving the package.

The information providing unit 25 controls operations of the image signal processing unit 25, the display unit 30, and the like so that the user can know various types of information generated according to the package delivery process. In particular, the image signal processing unit 25 and the display unit The control unit 30 controls the display unit 30 to display information such as the results processed by the delivery processing unit 23 and the cargo receipt processing unit 24, or information input through the key input unit 10.

A delivery system having such a structure is located in each subway station, and performs processing such as package delivery and package receipt, and each delivery system can exchange information generated through the network.

Next, a package delivery method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the delivery system.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a package delivery method performed in a delivery system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the user who requests a package delivery, that is, the sender selects the delivery ticket release mode through the key input unit 10, the control device 20 sets the operation mode to the delivery ticket release mode. Next, according to the plurality of information input through the key input unit 10 performs a delivery processing operation (S100).

When the sender operates the key input unit 10 to input the arrival station and the recipient information to which the package is to be delivered, the delivery route calculation unit 21 of the control device 20 is currently based on the train route information stored in the memory 15. A delivery route for delivering the package from the train station to the destination station entered by the sender is calculated (S110).

Here, the payee information includes a payee phone number for automatically notifying the recipient of the package receipt, a password identifying the payee when the package is delivered, and a package identification number or payee name and package for identifying the package. The sender's telephone number may be additionally included to notify the sender when the delivery is complete.

The delivery route calculating unit 21 finds a base station closest to the dispatch station and sets it as the first base station, and then sets a path from the dispatch station to the first base station as the first path (S120). Then, the base station closest to the arrival station is found and set as the second base station, and then the path from the second base station to the arrival station is set as the second path (S130).

Next, it is determined whether the first base station and the second base station are the same to determine how many base stations must pass from the dispatch station to the arrival station (S140). When the first base station and the second base station are the same, it is determined that the delivery cargo passes through only one base station, and the delivery route is set as the sum of the first route and the second route (S150).

In this way, when the delivery route corresponding to the case where the package is delivered via only one base station is calculated, the delivery time calculation unit 22 calculates the delivery time based on the calculated delivery route.

The delivery time calculation unit 22 calculates the delivery time according to the calculated delivery route by referring to the cargo transportation train time between the base station and the individual station and the cargo transportation train time between the base station, and the package is delivered via only one base station. (T1), the time at which the freight train transports packages from the sending station to the first base station (t2), and the first base after t1 + t2 hours. The delivery time (t1 + t2 + t5 + t6) is calculated by adding up the time (t5) of waiting for a freight transport train from the station to the unloading station, and the time (t6) of the freight train transporting the package from the first base station to the arrival station. S160).

On the other hand, if the first base station and the second base station is not the same in step S140, it is determined that there are two base stations that need to pass through when the package is delivered, and it is again determined whether the sending station and the arrival station are located on the same line ( S170).

The delivery route calculation unit 21, when the sending station and the arrival station are located on the same line while the first base station and the second base station are not the same, the first route station, the second route, the first base station and the second base station The route between the sum is set as a delivery route (S180). In addition, a time at which the delivery time calculation unit 22 waits for a freight transport train carrying the cargo based on the delivery route (t1), and the freight transport train transports the package from the dispatch station to the first base station. Time t2, and time t3 to wait for a freight transport train between the base stations which will depart from the first base station after t1 + t2 hours to transport the cargo to the second base station, and 2 Time to transport the cargo to the base station (t4), waiting time for the freight transport train between the base station and individual stations (t5) and transport time (t6) which will only be unloaded by transporting the cargo from the second base station to the destination station. The sum is calculated to calculate the delivery time t1 + t2 + t3t + t4 + t5 + t6 (S190).

However, in step S170, the delivery route calculation unit 21, if the first station and the second station station is not the same and the dispatch station and the arrival station are located on different routes, the first route and the second route and The sum of the path between the first base station and the second base station is set as a delivery route (S200), the time when the delivery time calculation unit 22 waits for a freight transportation train to come to the loading station and load the cargo (t1), The time at which the transport train transports the package from the dispatch station to the first base station (t2), and after t1 + t2 hours, waiting for a freight transport train operating between the base stations starting from the first base station and transporting the cargo to the second base station. Time (t3), time for this freight train to transport cargo from the first base station to the second base station (t4), time to wait for a freight transport train from the second base station to the cargo to the destination station ( t5) and the cargo number The combined time (t6) that the train Freight arrival station in a second base station calculates a delivery time (t1 + t2 + t3 + t4 + t5 + t6) (S210).

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first station and the second station are not the same and the sending station and the arrival station are located on the same line, the delivery time is not determined as t1 + t2 + t5 + t6, and the first and second base stations are not the same. The delivery time is determined in the same way as if the origin and destination stations are not located on the same route. This is based on the principle that the train time interval can be very small and the quantity of cargo can be large in some cases, so that the delivered cargo will be unloaded at the first point of departure, so that the necessary step-by-step action is required. To simplify.

When the appropriate delivery route is calculated according to the positional relationship between the sending station and the arrival station and the delivery time is calculated, the delivery processing unit 23 reads the recipient telephone number stored in the memory 15 and outputs it to the communication network connection unit 60. do.

Accordingly, the communication network connection unit 60 attempts to connect with the communication terminal corresponding to the input telephone number, and when the connection with the corresponding communication terminal is made, the delivery processing unit 23 voices for notifying the calculated delivery route and delivery time. The guide data is read from the voice message storage unit 50 and provided to the audio signal processing unit 55. Accordingly, the audio signal processing unit 55 converts the voice guide data into an audio signal and communicates with the audio network through the network connection unit 60. Notify the recipient of the route and time of delivery of the package.

For example, "This is an automatic voice guidance service for the station service. The package to be delivered from (Gwacheon) Station to (Hong Gil-dong) will arrive at (Junggak) Station via (Sangdang) Station and (City Hall) Station. Is about (1 hour). It provides an automatic voice service such as "(S220). In this case, information such as a delivery route and a delivery time may be provided to a delivery system located at an arrival station through a network.
