図5は、車両管理システム10による配車概略シーケンスを示す。ここでは、車両50Aがユーザ31に対して配車予定であり、当該配車前にもタクシーとして使用されていたものとする。
図6は、車内臭の種別判定フローを示す。図6に示すように、車両管理システム10(データベースサーバ100)は、車両50Aから車内臭データを取得する(S110)。
図7は、臭いレベルの判定フローを示す。図7に示すように、車両管理システム10(車両管理サーバ200)は、車両50Aの車両情報を取得する(S210)。具体的には、車両管理サーバ200は、車両50Aの種別、及び車両50Aの環境(車内外の温湿度など)を取得する。
図8は、提供オプションの選択フローを示す。図8に示すように、車両管理システム10(車両管理サーバ200)は、ユーザ31に対して配車される車両50Aにおいて発生している車内臭の種別を取得する(S310)。具体的には、車両管理サーバ200は、臭いレベルの判定フロー(図7参照)を実行することによって取得した車内臭の種別を取得する。
・車内臭の種別
・検出された臭いレベル
・配車時(乗車時)の推定臭いレベル
・予定配車時刻からの遅延時間
・提供料金の減額理由
・配車要求時
・所定基準を満たさない臭いレベルの検出時
・配車予定時刻の所定時間(例えば、30分)前
以上、実施例に沿って本発明の内容を説明したが、本発明はこれらの記載に限定されるものではなく、種々の変形及び改良が可能であることは、当業者には自明である。
