Description
本發明揭露了一種運輸方法及運輸系統,尤指一種具有自動駕駛載具的運輸方法及運輸系統。The invention discloses a transportation method and a transportation system, in particular to a transportation method and a transportation system with an automatic driving vehicle.
隨著科技日新月異,各種自動化的運輸機具也越來越普及。許多廠商為了安全以及節省人力,會使用自動導引運輸車(Automated Guided Vehicle,AGV),來輔助物資的運送或是人員的運送。自動導引運輸車通常被應用於倉儲業、製造業、郵局、圖書館、港口碼頭、機場、或是危險場所和特種行業。自動導引運輸車與物料輸送中常用的其他設備相比,具有行動快捷、工作效率高、結構簡單、可控性強、安全性好等優勢。自動導引運輸車的活動區域也可不鋪設軌道、支架等固定裝置,因此不受場地、道路和空間的限制。因此,自動導引運輸車應用於物流系統時,能充分地增加生產的自動性和效率,並實現經濟及靈活的無人化生產模式。With the rapid development of technology, various automated transportation tools are becoming more and more popular. Many manufacturers use Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to assist in the transportation of goods or the transportation of personnel for safety and labor saving. Automated guided vehicles are commonly used in warehousing, manufacturing, post offices, libraries, port terminals, airports, or hazardous locations and specialty industries. Compared with other equipment commonly used in material transportation, the automatic guided transport vehicle has the advantages of quick action, high work efficiency, simple structure, strong controllability and good safety. The active area of the self-guided transport vehicle may also be free of fixtures such as rails and brackets, and thus is not limited by the site, road and space. Therefore, when the automatic guided transport vehicle is applied to the logistics system, it can fully increase the automation and efficiency of production, and realize an economical and flexible unmanned production mode.
一般的自動導引運輸車具有電磁或光學等自動導引裝置,能夠沿著規定的導引路徑行駛。自動導引運輸車可用充電之蓄電池為其動力來源。一般可透過本身電腦來控制其行進路線以及行為,或利用黏貼於地板上的電磁軌道(Electromagnetic Path-following System)來設定其行進路線。因此,自動導引運輸車可以取代搬運人員,以避免搬運人員暴露於危險的環境。例如,在輻射環境下使用自動導引運輸車,即可避免搬運人員遭到輻射傷害。自動導引運輸車也可以在黑暗的環境中,準確地且可靠地的運送物料和成品。A general self-guided transport vehicle has an automatic guiding device such as electromagnetic or optical, and is capable of traveling along a prescribed guiding path. The self-guided transport vehicle can be powered by a rechargeable battery. It is generally possible to control its course of travel and behavior through its own computer, or to set its course of travel by using an Electromagnetic Path-following System attached to the floor. Therefore, the automated guided transport vehicle can replace the transporter to avoid exposure of the transporter to dangerous environments. For example, the use of an automated guided transport vehicle in a radiation environment can protect the transporter from radiation damage. Automated guided transport vehicles also deliver materials and finished products accurately and reliably in a dark environment.
然而,目前的自動導引運輸車由於無法經由控制中心或是透過雲端網路即時調度。目前的自動導引運輸車是利用本身機體內之記憶體預存的路徑資料進行物資或人員的運輸。因此,目前的自動導引運輸車無法應用於瞬息萬變的醫療系統(例如醫院)。換句話說,由於目前的自動導引運輸車缺乏由控制中心的即時控制以及調度的能力,因此,若應用於醫療系統反而會造成看診程序的效率變差以及看診之動線混亂的問題。However, current automated guided vehicles cannot be dispatched instantaneously via the control center or through the cloud network. At present, the automatic guided transport vehicle uses the path data pre-stored in the memory of the body to transport the materials or personnel. Therefore, current automated guided transport vehicles cannot be used in rapidly changing medical systems (such as hospitals). In other words, because the current self-guided transport vehicle lacks the ability to control and dispatch from the control center, if it is applied to the medical system, it will cause the efficiency of the visit procedure to deteriorate and the movement of the visit is confused. .
本發明一實施例提出一種運輸方法。運輸方法包含感應裝置感應識別裝置以產生感應訊號,傳送感應訊號至伺服器,依據感應訊號,伺服器辨識感應訊號對應之個人身分資料,依據感應訊號對應之個人身分資料,伺服器的資料庫產生路徑排程資料,及伺服器控制自動駕駛載具前往路徑排程資料中之第一指定地點。An embodiment of the invention provides a method of transportation.

The path scheduling data, and the server controls the autopilot vehicle to go to the first designated location in the route schedule data.

第1圖係為本發明之運輸系統100之實施例的方塊圖。本發明之運輸系統100可運用於任何地點以及場所,為了描述簡潔,下文將以運輸系統100應用於醫療系統(例如醫院)之下進行說明,然而,運輸系統100之任何合理的應用並不侷限於本發明。運輸系統100包含自動駕駛載具12、伺服器10以及感應裝置12a。自動駕駛載具12可為自動導引運輸車(Automated Guided Vehicle,AGV),可用輪子或履帶等任何的移動裝置移動,並有承載重物的能力。自動駕駛載具12用以提供乘客的載送服務。伺服器10連結於自動駕駛載具12,用以控制自動駕駛載具12。伺服器10可為任何形式的中央控制機台,例如雲端控制伺服器、中央主控室、終端控制中心、智慧型資料中心系統等等。伺服器10可與自動駕駛載具12進行雙向通訊。伺服器10也可以與多個醫療機台連結,以獲取這些醫療機台的狀態。例如,伺服器10可與診療室11a、掛號處11b、繳費處11c以及抽血室11d等等的機台連結,以獲取這些地點的狀態資料。感應裝置12a連結於伺服器10,可設置於自動駕駛載具12上,用以感應乘客的識別裝置14(於第3圖所示),以識別乘客之個人身分資料。識別裝置14可為識別卡,例如健保卡、保險卡、醫保卡、智能卡或是條碼卡等等,其他例如指紋,臉部辨識亦可應用。感應裝置12a可為晶片讀卡機、近場通訊(Near-field communication,NFC)無線感應裝置、無線射頻識別(Radio Frequency Identification、RFID)感應裝置或是紅外線掃瞄裝置等等。在運輸系統100中,感應裝置12a可感應識別裝置14,並產生感應訊號。接著,感應訊號會被傳送至伺服器10。感應訊號被伺服器10接收後,伺服器10可依據感應訊號辨識個人身分資料,並依據個人身分資料利用資料庫10c(如第2圖所示)產生路徑排程資料。伺服器10將可控制自動駕駛載具12前往路徑排程資料中之第一指定地點。詳細的運輸方法將於後文詳述。1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a transportation system 100 of the present invention. The transport system 100 of the present invention can be applied to any location as well as to a location. For the sake of brevity of description, the following description will be made with the transport system 100 applied to a medical system (e.g., a hospital), however, any reasonable application of the transport system 100 is not limited. In the present invention. The transport system 100 includes an autopilot carrier 12, a servo 10, and an inductive device 12a. The self-driving vehicle 12 can be an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) that can be moved by any mobile device such as wheels or tracks and has the ability to carry heavy loads. The self-driving vehicle 12 is used to provide a passenger carrying service. The server 10 is coupled to the self-driving carrier 12 for controlling the self-driving carrier 12. The server 10 can be any form of central control machine, such as a cloud control server, a central control room, a terminal control center, a smart data center system, and the like. The server 10 can communicate bidirectionally with the self-driving carrier 12. The server 10 can also be coupled to a plurality of medical machines to obtain the status of these medical machines. For example, the server 10 may be coupled to a machine such as the medical office 11a, the registration office 11b, the payment facility 11c, and the blood drawing room 11d to obtain status information of these locations. The sensing device 12a is coupled to the servo 10 and can be disposed on the self-driving carrier 12 for sensing the passenger identification device 14 (shown in FIG. 3) to identify the personal identity of the passenger. The identification device 14 can be an identification card, such as a health insurance card, an insurance card, a medical insurance card, a smart card or a barcode card, etc., such as fingerprints, facial recognition can also be applied. The sensing device 12a can be a chip reader, a near-field communication (NFC) wireless sensing device, a radio frequency identification (RFID) sensing device, or an infrared scanning device. In the transport system 100, the sensing device 12a can sense the identification device 14 and generate an inductive signal. The inductive signal is then transmitted to the server 10. After the sensing signal is received by the server 10, the server 10 can identify the personal identity data according to the sensing signal, and generate the path scheduling data according to the personal identity data using the database 10c (as shown in FIG. 2). The server 10 will control the autopilot carrier 12 to the first designated location in the route schedule data. Detailed shipping methods will be detailed later.
運輸系統100可另包含感應站13。感應站13的數量以及位置並不被第1圖所限制。感應站13可於固定地點架設,例如醫院的出入門口或是櫃台等等地點架設。感應裝置也可以設置於感應站13上,然而,為了避免混淆,後文將設置於感應站13上感應裝置以感應裝置13a稱之。然而應當理解的是,感應裝置13a與感應裝置12a的功能類似,均具有可感應識別裝置14而產生感應訊號至伺服器10的能力,因此其識別類型及通訊協定將不再贅述。後文將以一個看診的例子,並配合第2圖的伺服器10之架構來說明運輸系統100的運輸方法。The transportation system 100 can additionally include an inductive station 13. The number and location of the sensing stations 13 are not limited by Figure 1. The sensing station 13 can be erected at a fixed location, such as a hospital entrance door or a counter. The sensing device can also be arranged on the sensing station 13, however, in order to avoid confusion, the sensing device will be referred to as the sensing device 13a. It should be understood, however, that the sensing device 13a functions similarly to the sensing device 12a, and each has the ability to sense the device 14 to generate an inductive signal to the server 10. Therefore, the type of identification and the communication protocol will not be described again. The transport method of the transport system 100 will be described later with an example of a visit and in conjunction with the architecture of the server 10 of FIG.
第2圖係為運輸系統100中伺服器10的方塊圖。在本發明中,乘客的定義為持有識別裝置14(例如健保卡)的使用者。當乘客前往醫院並開始看診流程時,乘客可以前往感應站13,並將識別裝置14靠近感應裝置13a以產生感應訊號。或者,乘客可以直接乘坐空任務的自動駕駛載具12,並將識別裝置14靠近感應裝置12a以產生感應訊號。於此說明,本發明的自動駕駛載具12可利用燈號顏色的變化或是聲音頻率的變化等任何方式讓乘客識別其為任務中的狀態或是空任務的狀態。在第一種情況下,乘客將識別裝置14靠近感應裝置13a以產生感應訊號後,感應訊號將會被傳送至伺服器10之收發裝置10a。接著,收發裝置10a會利用處理器10b將感應訊號解調變或解碼,以辨識乘客的個人身分資料。由於伺服器10可辨識乘客的個人身分資料,因此伺服器10即可透過資料庫10c,擷取對應個人身分資料之乘客的看診記錄、看診流程、以及看診習慣等資料,並依此產生路徑排程資料。例如,伺服器10可產生掛號處11b→診療室11a→抽血室11d→返回診療室11a→繳費處11c的路徑排程資料。因此,伺服器10所產生的路徑排程資料可視為具有複數個地點的資料。接著,伺服器10會派送自動駕駛載具12來接乘客,乘客可再次出示識別裝置14讓感應裝置12a辨識身分,自動駕駛載具12隨後將載送乘客至路徑排程資料中之第一指定地點,例如第一站,掛號處11b。如前述提及,自動駕駛載具12的初始化狀態可為空任務狀態,當自動駕駛載具12接收到由伺服器10的收發裝置10a所發出的派遣訊號後,會將其狀態由空任務狀態變更為任務中狀態。因此,其他乘客無法直接使用於任務中狀態的自動駕駛載具12。2 is a block diagram of the server 10 in the transportation system 100. In the present invention, a passenger is defined as a user holding an identification device 14, such as a health care card. When the passenger goes to the hospital and begins the visit procedure, the passenger can go to the sensing station 13 and bring the identification device 14 close to the sensing device 13a to generate an inductive signal. Alternatively, the passenger can take the self-driving vehicle 12 of the empty mission directly and bring the identification device 14 close to the sensing device 12a to generate an inductive signal. As described herein, the self-driving vehicle 12 of the present invention can identify the passenger as a state in a mission or an empty mission by any means such as a change in the color of the light or a change in the sound frequency. In the first case, after the passenger brings the identification device 14 close to the sensing device 13a to generate the sensing signal, the sensing signal will be transmitted to the transceiver device 10a of the server 10. Then, the transceiver 10a uses the processor 10b to demodulate or decode the sensing signal to identify the personal identity of the passenger. Since the server 10 can recognize the personal identity data of the passenger, the server 10 can retrieve the medical record of the passenger corresponding to the personal identity data, the visiting process, and the visiting habits through the database 10c, and accordingly Generate path schedule data. For example, the server 10 can generate route schedule data of the registration place 11b→the treatment room 11a→the blood collection room 11d→the return medical treatment room 11a→the payment place 11c. Therefore, the path scheduling data generated by the server 10 can be regarded as data having a plurality of locations. Next, the server 10 will dispatch the autopilot carrier 12 to pick up the passenger. The passenger can again present the identification device 14 to identify the identity of the sensing device 12a, and the autopilot carrier 12 will then carry the passenger to the first designation in the route schedule data. Location, such as the first stop, registration office 11b. As mentioned above, the initialization state of the self-driving vehicle 12 may be an empty mission state, and when the automatic driving vehicle 12 receives the dispatch signal sent by the transceiver 10a of the server 10, its state is determined by the empty mission state. Change to the status in the task. Therefore, other passengers cannot directly use the self-driving vehicle 12 in the mission state.
在第二種情況下,乘客可以選擇直接搭乘空任務狀態的自動駕駛載具12,並將識別裝置14靠近感應裝置12a以產生感應訊號至伺服器10。類似地,感應訊號將會被傳送至伺服器10之收發裝置10a。接著,收發裝置10a會利用處理器10b將感應訊號解調變或解碼,以辨識乘客的個人身分資料。由於伺服器10可辨識乘客的個人身分資料,因此伺服器10即可透過資料庫10c,擷取對應個人身分資料之乘客的看診記錄、看診流程、以及看診習慣等資料,並依此產生路徑排程資料。接著,伺服器10會就控制自動駕駛載具12將乘客載送至路徑排程資料中之第一指定地點,例如第一站,掛號處11b。而伺服器也能夠依據乘客資料以及乘客已經先完成之程序,動態地調整第一站。例如複診者不須掛號而直接前往診間,只要識別裝置14於感應裝置12a、13a感應後,伺服器就會再重新排程一次。例如,於前述提及,伺服器10可產生如掛號處11b→診療室11a→抽血室11d→返回診療室11a→繳費處11c的路徑排程資料。然而,對於不須掛號而可直接前往診間的複診者,伺服器10可以重新排程其默認路徑,如省略掛號處11b而將其排程變更為診療室11a→抽血室11d→返回診療室11a→繳費處11c。類似地,自動駕駛載具12的初始化狀態可為空任務狀態,當自動駕駛載具12開始執行載送乘客的任務後,會將其狀態由空任務狀態變更為任務中狀態。因此,其他乘客無法直接使用於任務中狀態的自動駕駛載具12。In the second case, the passenger may choose to directly ride the autopilot vehicle 12 in the empty mission state and bring the identification device 14 close to the sensing device 12a to generate an inductive signal to the server 10. Similarly, the inductive signal will be transmitted to the transceiver 10a of the server 10. Then, the transceiver 10a uses the processor 10b to demodulate or decode the sensing signal to identify the personal identity of the passenger. Since the server 10 can recognize the personal identity data of the passenger, the server 10 can retrieve the medical record of the passenger corresponding to the personal identity data, the visiting process, and the visiting habits through the database 10c, and accordingly Generate path schedule data. Next, the server 10 will control the autopilot carrier 12 to carry the passenger to the first designated location in the route schedule data, such as the first station, registration office 11b. The server can also dynamically adjust the first station based on the passenger data and the procedures that the passenger has completed first. For example, the referral directly goes to the clinic without registration, and the server will re-schedule once the identification device 14 senses the sensing devices 12a, 13a. For example, as mentioned above, the server 10 can generate path schedule data such as the registration area 11b→the treatment room 11a→the blood collection room 11d→the return medical treatment room 11a→the payment place 11c. However, for a referral who can go directly to the clinic without registration, the server 10 can reschedule its default path, such as omitting the registration 11b and changing its schedule to the treatment room 11a → the blood collection room 11d → returning to the clinic Room 11a → payment place 11c. Similarly, the initialization state of the self-driving vehicle 12 may be an empty mission state, and when the automatic driving vehicle 12 begins to perform the task of carrying the passenger, its state is changed from the empty mission state to the mission state. Therefore, other passengers cannot directly use the self-driving vehicle 12 in the mission state.
由於運輸系統100可應用於瞬息萬變的醫院,因此運輸系統100可對前述提及的路徑排程資料進行最佳化。在第1圖中,伺服器10的收發裝置10a可與診療室11a、掛號處11b、繳費處11c以及抽血室11d等等的機台連結,因此伺服器10可以獲取這些地點的狀態資料。狀態資料包含目前排隊人數資料、突發狀況資料、目前的排隊號碼資料等等。亦即,伺服器10產生路徑排程資料後,可接收路徑排程資料內之複數個地點的狀態資料。接著,伺服器10會依據這些地點的狀態資料,產生第一順序資料。特別是針對需要進行多種檢驗的乘客,將複數個地點的順序最佳化。例如,若乘客需要進入X光室、心電圖室、抽血室、超音波室等等。伺服器10可依據排隊人數的多寡與目前排隊號碼,將這些地點的順序最佳化,以避免浪費乘客時間。換句話說,伺服器10所擷取到的這些地點的狀態資料可為外部數據對應的即時變動資料或內部的資料庫10c所存之統計資料,伺服器10會將乘客載送至第一順序資料中,優先順序較高的地點,以增加看診流程的效率。另外,為了加強運輸系統100的方便性,當識別裝置14於感應裝置12a、13a感應後,可視為已報到(Check-in)的狀態,故不會因為運輸時間而延誤使用者的報到時間。Since the transportation system 100 can be applied to a rapidly changing hospital, the transportation system 100 can optimize the aforementioned route scheduling data. In Fig. 1, the transceiver 10a of the server 10 can be connected to the machine of the medical examination room 11a, the registration area 11b, the payment place 11c, and the blood drawing room 11d, and the server 10 can acquire the status data of these places. The status data includes current queue number data, emergency status data, current queuing number data, and so on. That is, after the server 10 generates the path scheduling data, it can receive the status data of the plurality of locations in the path scheduling data. Next, the server 10 generates the first sequence of data based on the status data of the locations. In particular, the order of a plurality of locations is optimized for passengers who need to perform multiple inspections. For example, if a passenger needs to enter an X-ray room, an electrocardiogram room, a blood draw room, an ultrasound chamber, and the like. The server 10 can optimize the order of these locations based on the number of queues and the current queuing number to avoid wasting passenger time. In other words, the status data of the locations retrieved by the server 10 may be the real-time change data corresponding to the external data or the statistics stored in the internal database 10c, and the server 10 carries the passengers to the first sequence data. Medium, higher priority locations to increase the efficiency of the visit process. In addition, in order to enhance the convenience of the transportation system 100, when the identification device 14 is sensed by the sensing devices 12a, 13a, it can be regarded as a checked-in state, so that the user's registration time is not delayed due to the transportation time.
由於在路徑排程資料中,診療室11a是一個必要的地點,乘客來醫院看診必須要進入診療室11a才能得到醫生專業的醫囑。因此,伺服器10可以配合醫生的醫囑動態地調整、變動或更新路徑排程資料。例如,與診療室11a之機台連結的伺服器10接收到醫生之指示,此乘客(病患)必須要立即採取X光的檢驗措施。診療室11a之機台會產生指令訊號至伺服器10,伺服器10會依據指令訊號,立刻更新路徑排程資料,將X光室的地點插入至下一站。並且,伺服器10會產生控制訊號,控制空任務的自動駕駛載具12前往乘客地點,以載送乘客至對應指令訊號的地點(X光室)。甚至,伺服器10可以依據醫生所採取的措施或乘客的控制而機動性地改變複數個地點的順序(例如同時掛多診的情況)。因此,運輸系統100可具有高度的即時機動性。Since the clinic 11a is a necessary place in the route schedule data, the passenger must come to the clinic 11a to see the doctor's professional doctor's advice. Therefore, the server 10 can dynamically adjust, change, or update the path scheduling data in accordance with the doctor's order. For example, the server 10 connected to the machine of the medical treatment room 11a receives an instruction from the doctor, and the passenger (patient) must immediately take an X-ray inspection measure. The machine of the treatment room 11a generates a command signal to the server 10, and the server 10 immediately updates the path schedule data according to the command signal, and inserts the location of the X-ray room into the next station. Moreover, the server 10 generates a control signal to control the airborne autopilot carrier 12 to the passenger location to carry the passenger to the location (X-ray room) corresponding to the command signal. Even, the server 10 can flexibly change the order of a plurality of locations according to measures taken by the doctor or the control of the passenger (for example, the case of simultaneous multi-diagnosis). Thus, the transportation system 100 can have a high degree of immediate maneuverability.
運輸系統100也可具備排程插入的功能。乘客也可以手動插入一些自訂排程。例如,乘客可以透過自動駕駛載具12的互動裝置(例如螢幕或鍵盤)插入至少一個地點。自動駕駛載具12會產生排程插入訊號至伺服器10。接著,伺服器10的收發裝置10a接收排程插入訊號後,依據排程插入訊號以及預定的路徑排程資料,伺服器10將接收排程插入訊號及路徑排程資料內複數個地點的狀態資料。例如,在伺服器10的資料庫10c中,原本對應乘客之個人身分資料的路徑排程資料包含五個地點。在乘客自行插入三個地點的排程後,伺服器10的處理器10b就會透過收發裝置10a接收八個地點的狀態資料,並將這八個地點的順序最佳化。亦即,伺服器10會依據這些地點的狀態資料,產生第二順序資料。並且,由於至少一個新的地點被插入到原始的路徑排程資料內,因此伺服器10會更新原始的路徑排程資料,以產生更新後的路徑排程資料。隨後,伺服器10將會控制自動駕駛載具12前往更新後的路徑排程資料中之第二指定地點。類似前述提及的特性,伺服器10所擷取到的這些地點的狀態資料可為外部數據對應的即時變動資料或內部的資料庫10c所存之統計資料,伺服器10會將乘客載送至第二順序資料中,優先順序較高的地點,以增加看診流程的效率。The transportation system 100 can also have a function of scheduling insertion. Passengers can also manually insert some custom schedules. For example, a passenger may insert at least one location through an interactive device (eg, a screen or keyboard) that automatically drives the vehicle 12. The autopilot carrier 12 generates a scheduled insertion signal to the server 10. Then, after the transceiver 10a of the server 10 receives the scheduled insertion signal, the server 10 receives the scheduled insertion signal and the status data of the plurality of locations in the path scheduling data according to the scheduled insertion signal and the predetermined path scheduling data. . For example, in the database 10c of the server 10, the route schedule data originally corresponding to the personal identity data of the passenger includes five locations. After the passengers insert the schedule of the three locations themselves, the processor 10b of the server 10 receives the status data of the eight locations through the transceiver 10a and optimizes the order of the eight locations. That is, the server 10 generates a second sequence of data based on the status data of the locations. And, since at least one new location is inserted into the original route schedule data, the server 10 updates the original route schedule data to generate updated route schedule data. Subsequently, the server 10 will control the autopilot carrier 12 to go to the second designated location in the updated route schedule data. Similar to the characteristics mentioned above, the status data of the locations retrieved by the server 10 may be the real-time fluctuation data corresponding to the external data or the statistics stored in the internal database 10c, and the server 10 will carry the passengers to the first In the second order data, the places with higher priority order are used to increase the efficiency of the consultation process.
為了加強運輸系統100的機動性以及執行效率,自動駕駛載具12可以引入計時器的概念。如前述提及,自動駕駛載具12被伺服器10控制之前的狀態為空任務狀態,而當自動駕駛載具12被伺服器10控制時(例如派遣任務)時即變更為任務中狀態。然而,當伺服器10控制自動駕駛載具12前往乘客所在位置的地點或是路徑排程資料內的一個地點(第一指定地點)後,自動駕駛載具12仍為任務中狀態,並啟動計時器。此機制的目的在於,運輸系統100要避免自動駕駛載具12因閒置過長的時間而造成運輸資源浪費。因此,當計時器啟動時間大於預定閒置時間且自動駕駛載具12仍在待命模式(例如乘客沒有搭乘自動駕駛載具12,並利用識別裝置14驗證身分以繼續看診流程),則自動駕駛載具12的狀態可由任務中狀態變更為空任務狀態。如此,自動駕駛載具12即可被需要使用的乘客利用,不會因過長的閒置時間而造成運輸資源浪費。並且,為了強化運輸彈性,運輸系統100也可以引入了等待時間的機制。舉例而言,當伺服器10控制自動駕駛載具12載送乘客前往路徑排程資料內的一個地點(第一指定地點)後,乘客可以在合理的時間範圍內設定一個等待時間。例如,自動駕駛載具12載送乘客前往抽血室11d後,乘客可以於自動駕駛載具12上設定3分鐘的等待時間。等待時間可以比可容忍的閒置時間稍長。在等待時間內,自動駕駛載具12的狀態為任務中狀態。換句話說,倘若乘客於等待時間內完成現階段的醫療行為(例如抽血),此乘客仍可搭乘先前乘坐的自動駕駛載具12繼續前往下一個地點。To enhance the mobility and efficiency of the transportation system 100, the self-driving vehicle 12 can introduce the concept of a timer. As mentioned above, the state before the automatic driving vehicle 12 is controlled by the server 10 is an empty task state, and when the automatic driving vehicle 12 is controlled by the server 10 (for example, dispatching a task), it is changed to the in-task state. However, when the server 10 controls the autopilot carrier 12 to the location of the passenger's location or a location within the route schedule data (the first designated location), the autopilot carrier 12 remains in the mission state and starts timing. Device. The purpose of this mechanism is that the transportation system 100 is to avoid wasting transportation resources due to the idle driving vehicle 12 being idle for too long. Therefore, when the timer start time is greater than the predetermined idle time and the autopilot vehicle 12 is still in the standby mode (eg, the passenger does not board the autopilot vehicle 12 and uses the identification device 14 to verify the identity to continue the visit process), the autopilot is loaded. The state with 12 can be changed from the state in the task to the state in the empty task. In this way, the self-driving vehicle 12 can be utilized by passengers who need to use it, without wasting transportation resources due to excessive idle time. Also, to enhance transportation flexibility, the transportation system 100 can also introduce a mechanism for waiting time. For example, when the server 10 controls the autopilot carrier 12 to carry passengers to a location (first designated location) within the routing data, the passenger can set a waiting time within a reasonable time frame. For example, after the self-driving vehicle 12 carries the passenger to the blood drawing chamber 11d, the passenger can set a waiting time of 3 minutes on the automatic driving vehicle 12. The wait time can be slightly longer than the tolerable idle time. During the waiting time, the state of the self-driving vehicle 12 is the state in the mission. In other words, if the passenger completes the current medical action (such as blood draw) within the waiting time, the passenger can continue to the next location by taking the previously used autopilot vehicle 12.
運輸系統100也具備了中斷任務的功能,以應付各種緊急狀況。例如,自動駕駛載具12搭載乘客前往第一指定地點時,乘客忽然感覺身體不適或忽然有突發事件(例如乘客想去洗手間或是電話站聯絡親屬),乘客可以中斷自動駕駛載具12的任務。例如,乘客可以於自動駕駛載具12上利用鍵盤或是觸控螢幕等互動裝置輸入任務中斷訊號。自動駕駛載具12接收到任務中斷訊號後,會將其狀態由任務中狀態變更為空任務狀態,並將狀態變更的訊息傳送至伺服器10,且停止目前載送乘客的任務。如此,空任務狀態的自動駕駛載具12即可被需要使用的乘客利用,而中斷任務的乘客也可以隨時下車處理事件。因此,運輸系統100具有很高的操作彈性。The transportation system 100 also has the function of interrupting tasks to cope with various emergency situations. For example, when the self-driving vehicle 12 carries passengers to the first designated place, the passenger suddenly feels uncomfortable or suddenly has an emergency (for example, the passenger wants to go to the bathroom or the telephone station to contact relatives), and the passenger can interrupt the automatic driving vehicle 12. task. For example, the passenger can input a task interruption signal on the self-driving vehicle 12 using an interactive device such as a keyboard or a touch screen. After receiving the task interruption signal, the automatic driving vehicle 12 changes its state from the status in the task to the empty task state, and transmits the status change message to the server 10, and stops the task of currently carrying the passenger. In this way, the autopilot vehicle 12 in the empty mission state can be utilized by the passengers who need to use, and the passenger who interrupts the mission can also get off the vehicle to handle the event at any time. Therefore, the transportation system 100 has high operational flexibility.
第3圖係為運輸系統100中,識別裝置14、感應裝置12a、自動駕駛載具12之內部元件與伺服器10之間通訊的示意圖。自動駕駛載具12包含收發裝置12e、處理器12b、避撞系統12c及顯示裝置12d。收發裝置12e用以接收由伺服器10發出之控制訊號,以及用以傳送感應訊號至伺服器10。如前述提及,感應訊號可由感應裝置12a感應識別裝置14而產生,而感應裝置12a可耦接於處理器12b,並透過收發裝置12e將感應訊號傳送至伺服器10。收發裝置12e另可以用於傳送前述提及之排程插入訊號及任務中斷訊號至伺服器10。處理器12b耦接感應裝置12a及收發裝置12e,用以處理感應訊號(例如將感應訊號編碼或調變、加密等),及依據控制訊號控制自動駕駛載具12的行進路線。並且,自動駕駛載具12也包含互動裝置,例如第3圖所示之顯示裝置12d、觸控螢幕、鍵盤或滑鼠等任何的資料輸入/輸出裝置。例如,顯示裝置12d可具有觸控功能,並耦接於處理器12b。前述提及之設定等待時間、插入地點、輸入任務中斷指令都可透過顯示裝置12d輸入至自動駕駛載具12中。自動駕駛載具12之處理器12b也可以具有計時器的功能。當計時器的啟動時間大於預定閒置時間且自動駕駛載具12仍在待命模式時,處理器12b會將自動駕駛載具12的狀態由任務中狀態變更為空任務狀態,並透過收發裝置12e與伺服器10同步。並且,避撞系統12c耦接於處理器12b,用以迴避自動駕駛載具12周邊的障礙物。因此,自動駕駛載具12在前進時不會發生碰撞的風險。自動駕駛載具12也可以引入喇叭及指示燈,可用語音提醒乘客及告知乘客目前自動駕駛載具12的任務狀態。自動駕駛載具12內任何硬體的合理變更都屬於本發明所揭露的範疇。在第3圖中,自動駕駛載具12內部的所有狀態皆可透過收發裝置12e與伺服器10同步,例如自動駕駛載具12的目前位置、車速、乘客狀態、任務狀態、甚至電量等等都可以與伺服器10同步。因此,當許多的自動駕駛載具12被分派到不同地點執行載送乘客的任務時,伺服器10可以隨時掌握每一輛自動駕駛載具12的所有狀態,以最佳化每一個乘客的看診效率。例如,由於伺服器10可取得所有自動駕駛載具12的位置,因此可以派遣離乘客所在之感應站13最近的空任務自動駕駛載具12去接送乘客,以提高乘客的看診效率。3 is a schematic diagram of communication between the identification device 14, the sensing device 12a, the internal components of the automated driving vehicle 12, and the server 10 in the transportation system 100. The autopilot carrier 12 includes a transceiver 12e, a processor 12b, an collision avoidance system 12c, and a display device 12d. The transceiver 12e is configured to receive the control signal sent by the server 10 and to transmit the sensing signal to the server 10. As mentioned above, the sensing signal can be generated by the sensing device 12a, and the sensing device 12a can be coupled to the processor 12b and transmit the sensing signal to the server 10 through the transceiver 12e. The transceiver 12e can be further configured to transmit the aforementioned scheduled insertion signal and task interruption signal to the server 10. The processor 12b is coupled to the sensing device 12a and the transceiver device 12e for processing the sensing signal (for example, encoding or modulating the inductive signal, encrypting, etc.), and controlling the traveling route of the self-driving vehicle 12 according to the control signal. Moreover, the self-driving vehicle 12 also includes an interactive device such as a display device 12d shown in FIG. 3, a touch screen, a keyboard, or a mouse, and any data input/output device. For example, the display device 12d can have a touch function and is coupled to the processor 12b. The aforementioned set waiting time, insertion place, and input task interruption command can be input to the automatic driving vehicle 12 through the display device 12d. The processor 12b of the autopilot vehicle 12 can also have the function of a timer. When the start time of the timer is greater than the predetermined idle time and the autopilot vehicle 12 is still in the standby mode, the processor 12b changes the state of the autopilot carrier 12 from the state in the mission to the idle mission state, and transmits through the transceiver 12e The server 10 is synchronized. Moreover, the collision avoidance system 12c is coupled to the processor 12b for avoiding obstacles around the self-driving vehicle 12. Therefore, there is no risk that the self-driving carrier 12 will collide when it is advanced. The self-driving vehicle 12 can also introduce a horn and an indicator light, which can be used to alert the passenger and inform the passenger of the current mission state of the self-driving vehicle 12. Reasonable variations of any hardware within the self-driving vehicle 12 are within the scope of the present invention. In Fig. 3, all states inside the self-driving vehicle 12 can be synchronized with the server 10 via the transceiver 12e, such as the current position of the self-driving vehicle 12, the speed of the vehicle, the state of the passenger, the status of the mission, and even the amount of power, etc. It can be synchronized with the server 10. Therefore, when a plurality of autopilot vehicles 12 are dispatched to different locations to perform the task of carrying passengers, the server 10 can grasp all the states of each of the autopilot vehicles 12 at any time to optimize the look of each passenger. Diagnostic efficiency. For example, since the server 10 can obtain the positions of all the self-driving vehicles 12, it is possible to dispatch an airborne self-driving vehicle 12 that is closest to the sensing station 13 where the passenger is located to pick up and drop passengers to improve the efficiency of the passengers.

步驟S401至步驟S405的說明已於前文詳述,故於此將不再贅述。由於運輸系統100中的自動駕駛載具12與伺服器10連結,因此伺服器10可用即時性以及動態性的操作方式,控制自動駕駛載具12行進最佳化的路線。伺服器10也可以在路徑排程資料之每一站的流程結束後,產生標示的識別狀態並顯示於自動駕駛載具12的顯示裝置12d,以讓乘客能輕而易舉地了解目前看診流程的進度。並且,也因為伺服器10可利用資料庫10c產生路徑排程資料,因此對於具有識別裝置14的使用者而言,去醫院看診可變成一種非常輕鬆且自動化的生活行為,因此可以提升看診流程的效率。The description of steps S401 to S405 has been described in detail above, and thus will not be described again. Since the autopilot carrier 12 in the transport system 100 is coupled to the server 10, the server 10 can control the route optimized for the autopilot carrier 12 to travel in an instant and dynamic manner. The server 10 can also generate a marked identification status and display it on the display device 12d of the self-driving vehicle 12 after the end of the process of each station of the route scheduling data, so that the passenger can easily understand the progress of the current medical consultation process. . Moreover, also because the server 10 can generate the path scheduling data by using the database 10c, for the user having the identification device 14, going to the hospital can become a very easy and automated life behavior, so the consultation can be improved. The efficiency of the process.
