Description

System and method for providing tolerance driving information using internet {AN EMPTY CAR INFORMATION SERVICE SYSTEM AND SERVICE PROCESS USING INTERNET}

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing tolerance driving information using the Internet, and more particularly, by providing tolerance driving information to members connected by using an Internet communication network, so that users can use the vehicle at a low price, and to the owners. It relates to a system for allowing additional benefits from tolerances.

As is well known, tourist buses are rented for group tours at companies or schools.But until now, the bus owner does not want to exchange bus information and user usage information. In most cases, the car was operated with a tolerance at the time of return to the starting point.

In addition, even after the itinerary was over, the bus had to travel to the destination for the purpose of picking up the traveler, and then picked up the passengers from the destination and transported them back to the starting point.

As a result, the user has to pay the bus owner a round trip cost to the bus owner for one round trip, not the one-way cost from origin to destination. In addition to the waste, there was a problem that directly affects the increase in bus rental costs.

The present invention has been proposed to improve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides travelers and borrowers with buses by providing an information providing system and method for providing tolerance information between the traveler and the car owner to minimize the tolerance operation. The purpose is to reduce the cost of rental and to prevent unnecessary waste of energy.
