[composition]
The delivery route creation system in the present invention is for a delivery company that undertakes delivery of a package (article) to create a delivery route for delivering the package. In particular, the delivery route creation system creates an appropriate delivery route that includes a flight route (flight delivery section) that delivers the package using an unmanned aerial vehicle, so-called drone, in response to the package delivery request. It is for doing. However, the delivery route is not necessarily limited to being created by the delivery company, and may be created by any person.

As shown in FIG. 1, the delivery route creation system in the present embodiment has a user terminal 1 operated by a user requesting delivery of a package W and a delivery company device 2 managed by a delivery company that delivers the package W. And a control device 3 managed by a control company (specific organization) that controls unmanned aerial vehicles. The user terminal 1, the delivery company device 2, and the control device 3 are connected to each other via a network so that information can be transmitted and received to each other.

The user terminal 1 is an information processing device operated by the user, for example, a notebook computer, a tablet terminal, or a smartphone. The user operates the user terminal 1 to access the delivery company device 2, transmits the delivery request information indicating the delivery request of the package W, and makes the delivery request. For example, the user terminal 1 includes package information including the size, weight, item, etc. of the package W for which delivery is requested, and the name, address, telephone number, etc. of the delivery source, as delivery request information according to the user's operation. A delivery request is made by transmitting the delivery source information, the delivery destination information including the name, address, telephone number, etc. of the delivery destination, and the delivery type information indicating the delivery type of the package W to the delivery company device 2. .. The content of the delivery type information is, for example, information for specifying a delivery type desired by the user among delivery types having different delivery charges and delivery speeds, such as a delivery type having a long delivery time but a low charge, and a delivery time. There are delivery types that are short but expensive. The information transmitted by the user terminal 1 to the delivery company device 2 at the time of delivery request is not limited to the above-mentioned information, and may be other information.

The delivery company device 2 is composed of one or a plurality of information processing devices including an arithmetic unit and a storage device. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the delivery company device 2 includes a delivery request reception unit 21, a delivery route creation unit 22, an approval request unit 23, and a delivery processing unit 24. Each function of the delivery request reception unit 21, the delivery route creation unit 22, the approval request unit 23, and the delivery processing unit 24 is performed by the arithmetic unit executing a program for realizing each function stored in the storage device. It can be realized. Further, the delivery company device 2 includes a delivery means information storage unit 25, a regional information storage unit 26, and a delivery route storage unit 27. The delivery means information storage unit 25, the regional information storage unit 26, and the delivery route storage unit 27 are configured by a storage device. Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail.

The delivery request receiving unit 21 receives from the user terminal 1 the above-mentioned package information, the delivery source information, the delivery destination information, and the delivery type information as the delivery request information of the package W, and makes a delivery request. accept. Then, these information as a delivery request are passed to the delivery route creation unit 22. The delivery request receiving unit 21 may receive delivery request information including other information, not limited to the delivery request information having the above-mentioned contents.

The delivery route creation unit 22 creates a delivery route for the package W in response to a delivery request from the user terminal 1. In the present embodiment, the delivery route creation unit 22 creates a delivery route using the truck T, which is a vehicle, and the drone D, which is an unmanned aerial vehicle, as delivery means. That is, as described later, the delivery route to be created is a delivery method by land route using truck T or walking by a person (second delivery method) and a delivery method by flight route using drone D (first delivery method). Delivery method) and one or both of them will be used. Then, in order to create the delivery route, the delivery means information storage unit 25 of the delivery company device 2 stores information about the delivery means such as the truck T and the drone D. For example, the delivery means information storage unit 25 stores information such as the usage status of the truck T and the drone D, and the size and weight of the deliverable package. However, the delivery route creation unit 22 may create a delivery route including a route for delivering luggage by using a train or a manned aircraft, in addition to the truck T and the drone D.

Further, in order for the delivery route creation unit 22 to create a delivery route, the regional information storage unit 26 of the delivery company device 2 stores regional information related to the delivery route in a predetermined region. For example, the regional information stored in the regional information storage unit 26 includes delivery impact information that may affect delivery, in addition to map information including road information of a predetermined area. The delivery impact information includes, for example, information that affects delivery on the truck T, such as road congestion, and information that affects the flight of the drone D (flight impact information). For example, flight impact information that affects the flight of the drone D includes event holding information, meteorological information, flying object information such as birds, position information of the drone port, and the like. Further, as the delivery impact information, as will be described later, the approval information indicating whether or not the control operator has approved the past flight route is also stored.

Then, the delivery route creation unit 22 generates a delivery route including at least a part of the flight route or a delivery route not including the flight route according to the delivery request information received in accordance with the above-mentioned delivery request. , To determine. As an example, when the delivery type information is "short delivery time" in the delivery request information, the delivery route creation unit 22 generates a delivery route including a flight route so that the delivery time is short. To decide. Further, as another example, the delivery route creation unit 22 includes a flight route when the package information includes the content indicating "the size of the package W can be held by the drone D" in the delivery request information. Decide to generate a delivery route. Further, as another example, when the delivery type information is "cheap delivery fee" in the delivery request information, the delivery route creation unit 22 is a delivery route only for the land route so that the delivery fee is low. Decide to generate. The delivery route creation unit 22 may decide to generate a delivery route including at least a part of the flight route based on other information of the delivery request information.

Then, the delivery route creation unit 22 uses the regional information stored in the regional information storage unit 26 to deliver the package W from the delivery source address included in the delivery source information to the delivery destination address included in the delivery destination information. Generate a delivery route to do. For example, the delivery route creation unit 22 delivers by referring to road information in the area information, road congestion information, event holding information, weather information, flying object information such as birds, location information of the drone port, and the like. Create a delivery route that shortens the time and a flight route that can safely and reliably fly Drone D. As an example, when creating a flight route, avoid the sky above the event venue, or create a flight route that flies in areas where it is not raining and the wind speed is low or where there are few flying objects such as birds. .. At this time, the delivery route creation unit 22 also refers to the approval information indicating whether or not the control operator has approved the past flight route, and creates a delivery route including the flight route that has been approved. In this way, as described above, the delivery route creation unit 22 creates a flight route that allows the drone D to fly safely and reliably, and a flight route that has been approved in the past by the air traffic control operator. , Will create a flight route that is expected to be approved by the air traffic control operator.

Here, FIG. 3 shows an example of a delivery route generated by the delivery route creation unit 22. First, the example of FIG. 3 (1) is a case where the drone ports P1 and P2 exist at the delivery source address H1 and the delivery destination address H2, and only the flight route for delivering the luggage W by the drone D is delivered. The route. The example of FIG. 3 (2) is a case where the delivery source address H1 does not have a drone port and the delivery company's collection and delivery office H3 and the delivery destination address H2 have drone ports P3 and P2. The address H1 to the collection and delivery station H3 is a land route for delivering the luggage W by the truck T, and the delivery address H2 from the collection and delivery station H3 is a delivery route for delivering the luggage W by the drone D. In the example of FIG. 3 (3), all the packages W are delivered by the truck T only by the land route and the delivery route.

The delivery route creation unit 22 creates a plurality of delivery routes in the case of the above-mentioned example of FIG. At this time, the delivery route creation unit 22 has decided to create a delivery route including a flight route, but may create a delivery route only for the land route shown in FIG. 3 (3). Then, the delivery route creation unit 22 stores the created plurality of delivery routes in the delivery route storage unit 27. The delivery route creation unit 22 is not necessarily limited to creating a plurality of delivery routes, and may create only one delivery route.

The approval requesting unit 23 (creating means) requests the control device 3 to approve the flight route in the delivery route created by the delivery route creating unit 22. For example, when the delivery route shown in FIG. 3 is created, the approval requesting unit 23 transmits information on each flight route included in FIGS. 3 (1) and 3 (2) to the control device 3. Request approval for each flight route. Then, the approval requesting unit 23 acquires the approval result of each flight route from the control device 3. At this time, the approval requesting unit 23 acquires a plurality of types of approval results, such as provisional approval, approval, and final approval, from the control device 3, for example. Then, the approval requesting unit 23 sets a delivery route including the flight route for which provisional approval or approval has been obtained as a candidate delivery route, and stores it in the delivery route storage unit 27. At this time, the approval requesting unit 23 also sets a delivery route only for the land route that does not include the flight route, that is, a delivery route that does not need to be approved by the control operator, as a candidate delivery route.

Further, when the approval request unit 23 obtains the approval result of the final approval for the predetermined flight route from the control device 3, the approval request unit 23 notifies the delivery processing unit 24 of the delivery route including the flight route. In response to this, the delivery processing unit 24 (determining means) actually delivers the delivery route including the flight route for which the final approval has been obtained from the candidate delivery routes stored in the delivery route storage unit 27. Determine as the specific delivery route to perform. Then, the delivery processing unit 24 outputs an instruction to perform delivery processing on the determined specific delivery route. For example, if the delivery processing unit 24 does not obtain the final approval of the flight route shown in FIG. 3 (1) and obtains the final approval of the flight route shown in FIG. 3 (2), FIG. 3 (2) Determine the delivery route shown in. Further, if approval is not obtained for each flight route shown in FIGS. 3 (1) and 3 (2), the delivery processing unit 24 determines the delivery route only for the land route shown in FIG. 3 (3). In response to this, the delivery company collects the package W at the delivery source address H1 and delivers it to the delivery address H2 by using the truck T or the drone D according to the determined specific delivery route.

The above-mentioned approval requesting unit 23 is not necessarily limited to setting a delivery route including a flight route approved by the control device 3 as a candidate delivery route, and the delivery route created by the delivery route creation unit 22 is used. , All may be set as candidate delivery routes.

The control device 3 is composed of one or a plurality of information processing devices including an arithmetic unit and a storage device. Then, the control device 3 determines whether or not to approve the flight route in response to the flight route approval request from the delivery company device 2, and transmits the approval result to the delivery company device 2. For example, the control device 3 requests approval for the flight route information transmitted from the delivery company device 2 based on the flight routes of other unmanned aerial vehicles and the approval criteria set in advance. Judgment of provisional approval, approval, and final approval. At this time, the control device 3 may automatically determine the approval content based on the preset approval determination criteria and send the approval result to the delivery company device 2, and the operator determines the approval content. The approval result input by the operator may be transmitted to the delivery company device 2.

The above-mentioned approval results such as provisional approval, approval, and final approval may be determined in stages according to the passage of time. In that case, the control device 3 transmits the determined approval results to the delivery company device 2 each time various approval results are determined.

[motion]
Next, the operation of the above-mentioned delivery route creation system, particularly the delivery company apparatus 2, will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5. Note that FIG. 4 shows the flow of processing in the entire delivery route creation system, and FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of the processing operation of the delivery company device.

First, when the user wishes to deliver the package W, the user terminal 1 accesses the delivery company device 2, sends delivery request information indicating the request for delivery of the package W, and makes a delivery request (FIG. 4). Arrow Y1). For example, the user terminal 1 makes a delivery request by transmitting information such as the above-mentioned package information, delivery source information, delivery destination information, delivery type information, and the like as delivery request information to the delivery company device 2. .. Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that information specifying that the delivery time is short is transmitted as the content of the delivery type information.

The delivery company device 2 receives the delivery request information of the package W transmitted from the user terminal 1 and accepts the delivery request of the package W (step S1 in FIG. 5). Then, the delivery company device 2 creates a delivery route for the package W in response to the delivery request from the user terminal 1. At this time, the delivery company device 2 determines whether to generate a delivery route including at least a part of the flight route according to the content of the received delivery request information. Here, since the delivery type information in the delivery request information is "short delivery time", the delivery company device 2 determines to generate a delivery route including a flight route so that the delivery time is short. (Yes in step S2 of FIG. 5). However, the delivery company device 2 may decide to generate a delivery route including a flight route according to other information.

Subsequently, the delivery company device 2 includes a flight route for delivering the luggage W using the drone D with reference to the delivery source information, the delivery destination information, and the stored area information included in the delivery request information. Create a delivery route (step S3 in FIG. 5). For example, the delivery company device 2 can be used for road information in the area information, road congestion information, event holding information, weather information, flying object information such as birds, drone port position information, and flight routes by the control company. With reference to the presence or absence of approval in the past, a delivery route that shortens the delivery time and a delivery route that includes a flight route that allows the drone D to fly safely and reliably are created. As an example, the delivery company device 2 creates a delivery route including a flight route for delivering the cargo W by the drone D as shown in FIGS. 3 (1) and 3 (2). At this time, even if the delivery company device 2 decides to create a delivery route including the flight route as described above, delivery of only the land route not including the flight route as shown in FIG. 3 (3). You may create a route.

Subsequently, the delivery company device 2 requests the control device 3 to approve the flight route in the created delivery route (arrow Y2 in FIG. 4, step S4 in FIG. 5). For example, the delivery company device 2 transmits information on each flight route included in FIGS. 3 (1) and 3 (2) among the delivery routes shown in FIG. 3 to the control device 3, and each flight route. Request approval. In response to this, the control device 3 determines whether or not to approve the flight route, and transmits the approval result to the delivery company device 2 (arrow Y3 in FIG. 4). For example, the control device 3 provisionally approves the flight route for which approval is requested based on other preset flight routes and approval criteria for the flight route information transmitted from the delivery company device 2. , Approval, final approval is determined, and the determination result is transmitted to the delivery company device 2. When the approval result is determined step by step, such as provisional approval, approval, and final approval, the control device 3 delivers the determined approval result each time the approval result is determined. Send to device 2.

The delivery company device 2 acquires the approval result each time the approval result of each flight route is determined from the control device 3 (arrow Y3 in FIG. 4). At this time, when the delivery company device 2 obtains the provisional approval or the determination result of the approval, the delivery route including the flight route is set as the candidate delivery route (step S5 in FIG. 5). Further, the delivery company device 2 also sets a delivery route that does not include the flight route as a candidate delivery route. As described above, the delivery company device 2 sets all or part of the delivery routes created by predicting that approval will be obtained as candidate delivery routes, regardless of the approval result from the control device 3. You may. Then, when the delivery company device 2 obtains the approval result of the final approval for the predetermined flight route from the control device 3 (arrow Y3 in FIG. 4), the delivery company device 2 actually delivers the delivery route including the flight route. It is determined as a specific delivery route (step S6 in FIG. 5). If the delivery operator device 2 does not obtain approval for any of the flight routes, the delivery operator device 2 may determine a delivery route that does not include the flight route as a specific delivery route for actual delivery.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, a delivery route including a flight route using the drone D is created in response to the delivery request of the package W from the user. Therefore, it is possible to perform appropriate delivery by taking advantage of the delivery by the drone D. Further, in the present embodiment, a flight route is created based on information indicating the influence on flight, and a flight route for which approval is obtained from air traffic control or the like is created. Therefore, it is possible to perform appropriate delivery by taking advantage of the delivery by the drone D.
