(Knowledge that became the basis of this disclosure)
In recent years, research and development of self-driving cars have become active, and the spread of self-driving cars has been gradually progressing. Self-driving vehicles include a fully automatic driving vehicle that does not require any manual driving by a driver and a semi-automatic driving vehicle that switches between manual driving and automatic driving by a driver as necessary. In the case of a semi-automatic driving vehicle, it is necessary to switch to manual driving as necessary, so the driver needs to get on, whereas in the case of a fully automatic driving vehicle, it is not necessary to switch to manual driving. There is no need to board. Therefore, for example, when a fully automatic driving vehicle is applied in the delivery business of goods or people, it is not necessary for the driver to get on, so it is possible to reduce the labor cost required for the driver and to reduce the cost. It becomes possible to perform delivery work.

  From this, it is expected that delivery companies will introduce fully automatic driving vehicles (hereinafter also referred to as “unmanned vehicles”) in the future. Here, the delivery company means a courier company delivering goods and a taxi company delivering people. When an existing delivery company introduces unmanned vehicles, from the viewpoint of introduction cost and maintenance of the quality of existing services, gradually replace the vehicles driven by existing drivers (hereinafter also referred to as “driver vehicles”) with unmanned vehicles. It is expected to go. Therefore, the delivery company performs delivery work in a situation where two types of vehicles, ie, driver vehicles and unmanned vehicles, coexist until all driver vehicles are replaced with unmanned vehicles.

  As described above, in the case of an unmanned vehicle, the labor cost required for the driver can be reduced, and the delivery operation can be performed at a lower cost. Therefore, it is possible to provide a delivery service for a user who uses a delivery company at a lower charge. For example, in the case of a taxi, unmanned vehicles can provide services at a lower price than driver vehicles even when traveling on the same route from the user's boarding position to the getting-off position.

  In a situation where the driver vehicle and the unmanned vehicle coexist, it is possible to use a different fee structure for the driver vehicle and the unmanned vehicle (here, the fee structure for the unmanned vehicle is cheaper than the driver vehicle fee). . In such a situation, unmanned vehicles may be more advantageous (cheap) in terms of tolls, whereas driver vehicles may be more advantageous (shorter) in terms of arrival times. . For this reason, vehicle allocation candidate vehicles suitable for the delivery operation are selected for each vehicle group (here, the driver vehicle group and the unmanned vehicle group) with different fee systems, and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group is presented to the user. There is a need for a vehicle allocation system in which a user selects a vehicle that matches his request from the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles for each vehicle group presented.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, a taxi fare introduction host computer is searched from a host computer of a plurality of taxi companies based on a search request including a user's boarding point and destination, The search result including the taxi arrival time and the required boarding time to the destination is transmitted to the user-side portable information terminal device, and the user-side portable information terminal device displays the received search result and makes a taxi reservation.

  However, in Patent Document 1, for each of a plurality of taxi companies, a search result including a taxi use fee, an arrival waiting time until the taxi arrives at the boarding point, and a required boarding time from the boarding point to the destination point is displayed. . Therefore, it is necessary for the user to always select a taxi that meets his / her conditions from a plurality of displayed search results, and there is a problem that the process of selecting this taxi is a burden on the user. .

  In general, the user considers both the tax aspect and other time aspects such as the waiting time until arrival at the boarding point or the required boarding time from the boarding point to the destination point. I often choose a taxi. Therefore, if there is an optimal vehicle allocation candidate vehicle on both sides of the fee and time, it is desirable to present only the optimal vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to the user. Thereby, the user does not have to perform taxi selection processing every time, and the burden on the user can be reduced.

  In order to solve the above problems, a vehicle allocation support method according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a vehicle allocation support method in a vehicle allocation support device that allocates a vehicle to a user, and the location of a vehicle allocation destination to which the vehicle is allocated is determined. Vehicle identification for acquiring vehicle allocation request information including at least position information to be shown from a user terminal and identifying a vehicle belonging to either the first vehicle group or a second vehicle group different from the first vehicle group Vehicle information including information, vehicle group identification information for identifying whether the vehicle belongs to the first vehicle group or the second vehicle group, and position information indicating a position of the vehicle, and Based on the allocation request information, a first vehicle that is a candidate for allocation is determined from the first vehicle group, a second vehicle that is a candidate for allocation is determined from the second vehicle group, and the first vehicle is determined. And each of the second vehicles On the other hand, a first parameter related to a charge is calculated, a second parameter related to time is calculated for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle, and the first vehicle and the second vehicle are calculated. Among the vehicles, the vehicle in which the first parameter satisfies the first condition is specified, and the vehicle in which the second parameter satisfies the second condition is specified among the first vehicle and the second vehicle. When the vehicle in which the first parameter satisfies the first condition and the vehicle in which the second parameter satisfies the second condition are the same, the first parameter satisfies the first condition. A vehicle that satisfies the second condition and presents information related to the vehicle that satisfies the second condition to the user, and the first parameter satisfies the first condition. The second parameter Each of the vehicle satisfying the second condition satisfies the second parameter and the second parameter satisfies the second condition. Presentation information for presenting information on the user to the user is generated, and the generated presentation information is transmitted to the user terminal.

  According to this configuration, the vehicle allocation request information including at least the location information indicating the location of the vehicle allocation destination where the vehicle is allocated is acquired from the user terminal. Vehicle identification information for identifying a vehicle belonging to one of the first vehicle group and the second vehicle group different from the first vehicle group, and the vehicle is either the first vehicle group or the second vehicle group A first vehicle that is a candidate for dispatch is determined from the first vehicle group based on vehicle information including vehicle group identification information for identifying whether the vehicle belongs to and position information indicating the position of the vehicle, and dispatch request information. In addition, a second vehicle that is a dispatch candidate is determined from the second vehicle group. A first parameter relating to a charge is calculated for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. A second parameter related to time is calculated for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. Among the first vehicle and the second vehicle, a vehicle whose first parameter satisfies the first condition is identified. Among the first vehicle and the second vehicle, a vehicle in which the second parameter satisfies the second condition is identified. When the vehicle in which the first parameter satisfies the first condition and the vehicle in which the second parameter satisfies the second condition are the same, the first parameter satisfies the first condition, and the second parameter Present information for presenting information related to the vehicle that satisfies the second condition to the user. When the vehicle in which the first parameter satisfies the first condition and the vehicle in which the second parameter satisfies the second condition are not the same, the vehicle and the second parameter in which the first parameter satisfies the first condition Presentation information for presenting information about each vehicle with the second condition to the user is generated. The generated presentation information is transmitted to the user terminal.

  Therefore, when the vehicle in which the first parameter relating to the fee satisfies the first condition and the vehicle in which the second parameter relating to the time satisfies the second condition are the same, the first parameter satisfies the first condition, In addition, since information related only to vehicles whose second parameter satisfies the second condition is presented to the user, it is possible to save the user from having to select a vehicle and to reduce the burden on the user. it can.

  Further, in the above-described dispatching support method, the first vehicle and the second vehicle move with respect to each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on predetermined fee structure information. The required required fee is calculated as the first parameter, and the first vehicle and the second vehicle are respectively determined based on a predetermined required time calculation rule for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The time required to move is calculated as the second parameter, and the vehicle having the lower required fee is specified among the first vehicle and the second vehicle, and the first vehicle and the second vehicle are identified. Among the two vehicles, the vehicle having the shorter required time is specified, and when the vehicle having the lower required fee and the vehicle having the shorter required time are the same, the required fee is low, and For vehicles with short travel time If the vehicle with the lower required fee and the vehicle with the shorter required time are not the same, the vehicle with the lower required fee and the required time are generated. Presentation information for presenting information about each vehicle with a short vehicle to the user may be generated.

  According to this configuration, for the first vehicle and the second vehicle, the required fee required for the first vehicle and the second vehicle to move based on the predetermined fee structure information is the first parameter. Is calculated as The time required for the first vehicle and the second vehicle to move is calculated as the second parameter for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on a predetermined required time calculation rule. Of the first vehicle and the second vehicle, the vehicle with the lower required fee is identified. Of the first vehicle and the second vehicle, the vehicle having the shorter required time is identified. When a vehicle with a low required fee and a vehicle with a short required time are the same, presentation information for presenting information about a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time to the user is generated. If the vehicle with the low required fee and the vehicle with the short required time are not the same, the presentation information for presenting the user with information about the vehicle with the low required fee and the vehicle with the short required time is generated.

  Therefore, if a vehicle with a low required fee is the same as a vehicle with a short required time, information about only the vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is presented to the user. This saves time and effort for the user.

  Further, in the above dispatching support method, when the vehicle with the lower required fee and the vehicle with the shorter required time are the same, it is further determined whether or not the third condition is satisfied, If it is determined that the condition 3 is satisfied, the present invention generates presentation information for presenting information related to each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle having a low required charge and a short required time to the user, When it is determined that the third condition is not satisfied, presentation information for presenting information regarding only the one vehicle to the user may be generated.

  According to this configuration, when the vehicle with the low required fee and the vehicle with the short required time are the same, it is further determined whether or not the third condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the third condition is satisfied, the presentation information for presenting the user with information on one vehicle and the other vehicle with a low required charge and a short required time is generated. When it is determined that the third condition is not satisfied, presentation information for presenting information related to only one vehicle to the user is generated.

  Therefore, when it is determined by the third condition that the other vehicle is more optimal than one vehicle, information on each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle is used in addition to the one vehicle. Therefore, the user can select the dispatch vehicle not only from the required fee and the required time but also from a viewpoint other than the required fee and the required time.

  Further, in the above-described dispatching support method, the third condition is that a difference between the required fee for the first vehicle and the required fee for the second vehicle is smaller than a first threshold, and / or The condition may be that a difference between the required time of the first vehicle and the required time of the second vehicle is smaller than a second threshold.

  According to this configuration, the difference between the required fee for the first vehicle and the required fee for the second vehicle is smaller than the first threshold, and / or the required time for the first vehicle and the required amount for the second vehicle. When it is determined that the difference from the time is smaller than the second threshold, the presentation information for presenting the user with information about one vehicle and the other vehicle with a low required charge and a short required time Is generated.

  Therefore, if the difference between the required fee for the first vehicle and the required fee for the second vehicle is small and / or if the difference between the required time for the first vehicle and the required time for the second vehicle is small, Information about not only one vehicle but also each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle is presented to the user, so the user can not only view the required fee and required time but also from a viewpoint other than the required fee and required time. You can also select a dispatch vehicle.

  Further, in the above-described dispatching support method, the dispatching request information further includes position information indicating a position of a destination of the vehicle to be dispatched, and further, based on the dispatching request information and the vehicle information, For each of the vehicle and the second vehicle, route information including at least a route from the destination to the destination is generated, and the third condition is that the route of the first vehicle and the second vehicle It may be a condition that the route of the second vehicle is different.

  According to this configuration, the dispatch request information further includes position information indicating the position of the destination of the vehicle to be dispatched. Based on the vehicle allocation request information and the vehicle information, route information including at least a route from the vehicle allocation destination to the destination is generated for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. If it is determined that the route of the first vehicle and the route of the second vehicle are different, the user is provided with information on each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle with a low required charge and a short required time. Presented information for presenting is generated.

  Therefore, when the route of the first vehicle and the route of the second vehicle are different from each other, information on each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle is presented to the user, The user can select a dispatch vehicle in consideration of not only the required fee and the required time but also the moving route of one vehicle and the other vehicle.

  Further, in the above-described vehicle allocation support method, the vehicle allocation request information further includes positional information indicating a location of a destination of the vehicle to be allocated, and the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an autonomous driving vehicle, The vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is a driver vehicle driven by a human, and the third condition is that the required fee is low and the vehicle required for a short time is the driver vehicle, and The condition that the distance from the destination to the destination is shorter than a predetermined distance, the vehicle having the low required fee and the short required time is the driver vehicle, and the destination to the destination It may be either one of the conditions that the required fee is less than a predetermined fee.

  According to this configuration, the dispatch request information further includes position information indicating the position of the destination of the vehicle to be dispatched. Vehicles belonging to the first vehicle group are autonomous driving vehicles, and vehicles belonging to the second vehicle group are driver vehicles driven by humans. If it is determined that a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is a driver vehicle and the distance from the destination to the destination is shorter than a predetermined distance, the required fee is low and the required time is low. Presentation information for presenting information about each of the short driver vehicle and the autonomous driving vehicle to the user is generated. In addition, when it is determined that the vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is a driver vehicle and the required fee from the destination to the destination is lower than the predetermined fee, the required fee is low, and Presentation information for presenting information about each of the driver vehicle and the autonomous driving vehicle having a short required time to the user is generated.

  Therefore, when a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is a driver vehicle, and the distance from the destination to the destination is shorter than a predetermined distance, not only the driver vehicle but also the driver vehicle and the autonomous driving vehicle Therefore, the user can select a dispatch vehicle in consideration of not only the required fee and the required time but also the distance from the destination to the destination. In addition, if it is determined that the vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is a driver vehicle and the required fee from the destination to the destination is lower than the predetermined fee, not only the driver vehicle but also the driver Since the information regarding each of the vehicle and the autonomous driving vehicle is presented to the user, the user can select the dispatch vehicle in consideration of the low required fee from the dispatch destination to the destination.

  Further, in the above vehicle allocation support method, the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an autonomous driving vehicle, the vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is a driver vehicle driven by a human, The condition is that the vehicle with the low required fee and the short required time is the driver vehicle, the delivery object to be delivered by the vehicle is a person, and the number of people is larger than a predetermined number. It may be the condition.

  According to this configuration, the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an autonomous driving vehicle, and the vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is a driver vehicle driven by a human. If it is determined that the vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is a driver vehicle, and the delivery target delivered by the vehicle is a person, and the number of people is greater than the predetermined number, the required fee The presentation information for presenting the user with information related to each of the driver vehicle and the autonomous driving vehicle having a low required time and a short required time is generated.

  Therefore, if the required fee is low and the required time is short, the vehicle is a driver vehicle, and if the delivery target to be delivered by the vehicle is a person and the number of people is greater than the predetermined number, only the driver vehicle In addition, since information on each of the driver vehicle and the autonomous driving vehicle is presented to the user, the user considers not only the required fee and the required time but also whether or not a private in-vehicle space is provided. A dispatch vehicle can be selected.

  Further, in the above vehicle allocation support method, the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an autonomous driving vehicle, the vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is a driver vehicle driven by a human, The condition may be a condition that the vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is the autonomous driving vehicle, and a delivery object delivered by the vehicle is an object.

  According to this configuration, the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an autonomous driving vehicle, and the vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is a driver vehicle driven by a human. When it is determined that a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is an autonomous driving vehicle, and the delivery target delivered by the vehicle is an object, an automatic driving with a low required fee and a short required time Presentation information for presenting information about each of the vehicle and the driver vehicle to the user is generated.

  Therefore, when a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is an autonomous driving vehicle, and a delivery object to be delivered by the vehicle is an object, not only an autonomous driving vehicle but also an autonomous driving vehicle and a driver vehicle. Therefore, the user can select the dispatch vehicle in consideration of not only the required fee and the required time but also the loading and unloading of the delivery target by the driver.

  Further, in the above vehicle allocation support method, the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an autonomous driving vehicle, the vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is a driver vehicle driven by a human, The conditions are that the required fee is low and the vehicle having a short required time is the autonomous driving vehicle, and the number of luggage to be loaded on the autonomous driving vehicle is larger than a predetermined number, and the required fee is low. In addition, the vehicle having the short required time may be any one of the conditions that the vehicle is the autonomous driving vehicle and the weight of the load is heavier than a predetermined value.

  According to this configuration, the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an autonomous driving vehicle, and the vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is a driver vehicle driven by a human. If it is determined that the vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is an autonomous driving vehicle and the number of luggage to be loaded on the autonomous driving vehicle is larger than a predetermined number, the required fee is low and the required time is low. Presentation information for presenting information about each of the short autonomous driving vehicle and the driver vehicle to the user is generated. In addition, if it is determined that a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is an autonomous driving vehicle and the weight of the luggage is heavier than a predetermined value, the required fee is low and the required time is short. Presentation information for presenting information about each of the driving vehicle and the driver vehicle to the user is generated.

  Therefore, when a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is an autonomous driving vehicle and the number of luggage to be loaded on the autonomous driving vehicle is larger than a predetermined number, not only the autonomous driving vehicle but also the autonomous driving vehicle Since information related to each of the driver vehicles is presented to the user, the user can select a dispatch vehicle in consideration of not only the required fee and required time but also the loading and unloading of the luggage by the driver. In addition, when the required fee is low and the required time is a self-driving vehicle and the weight of the baggage is heavier than a predetermined value, not only the self-driving vehicle but also the self-driving vehicle and the driver vehicle Since the information about each is presented to the user, the user can select a dispatch vehicle in consideration of not only the required fee and required time but also the loading and unloading of the luggage by the driver.

  Further, in the above vehicle allocation support method, the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an autonomous driving vehicle, the vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is a driver vehicle driven by a human, When it is determined that the condition is satisfied and the one vehicle is the autonomous driving vehicle, presentation information for presenting information on only the one vehicle to the user may be generated.

  According to this configuration, the vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group is an autonomous driving vehicle, and the vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group is a driver vehicle driven by a human. When it is determined that the third condition is satisfied and one of the vehicles is an autonomous driving vehicle, presentation information for presenting information on only one of the vehicles to the user is generated.

  Therefore, even if it is determined that the third condition is satisfied, if one of the vehicles is an autonomous driving vehicle, information on only the autonomous driving vehicle is presented to the user, so an unmanned vehicle is selected for the user. It is possible to increase the possibility of selecting the unmanned vehicle.

  Further, in the above-described vehicle allocation support method, when it is determined that the third condition is satisfied, the presentation information may include information indicating a reason for presenting the information related to the other vehicle to the user.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the following embodiment is an example in which the present disclosure is embodied, and does not limit the technical scope of the present disclosure.

(Embodiment 1)
In the first embodiment, when a taxi operator management device that manages one or more vehicles for each of a plurality of vehicle groups having different fee systems receives a vehicle allocation request from a user, a vehicle allocation request for each vehicle group is issued. The optimal allocation candidate vehicle is determined, and among the allocation candidate vehicles determined for each vehicle group, a suitable allocation candidate vehicle is identified in each of the price and time planes, and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle and the time suitable for the price are determined. A vehicle allocation support method for generating presentation information to be presented to the user based on whether or not a suitable vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is the same in terms of the aspect and presenting the generated presentation information to the user will be described.

  In the first embodiment, a case will be described in which there are two vehicle groups, a group composed of unmanned vehicles and a group composed of driver vehicles, as vehicle groups having different fee systems.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram conceptually illustrating the overall configuration of the vehicle allocation support system according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

  In the dispatching support system shown in FIG. 1, the taxi operator's management device 1, the user terminal 2 of the user who makes a dispatch request to the management device 1, and the management device 1 manage and the first vehicle group 3A. And a driver vehicle 32 that is managed by the management device 1 and that belongs to the second vehicle group 3B that has a different fee structure from the first vehicle group 3A.

  At least one unmanned vehicle 31 belongs to the first vehicle group 3A, and at least one driver vehicle 32 belongs to the second vehicle group 3B. The unmanned vehicle 31 is a fully automatic driving vehicle that does not require any manual driving by a driver. The driver vehicle 32 is a manually operated vehicle that is driven by a driver.

  The management device 1 is a server device on the cloud, for example, and receives the vehicle allocation request information from the user terminal 2 via the network 4 such as the Internet or presents the vehicle to be allocated determined according to the vehicle allocation request information. The presentation information is transmitted to the user terminal 2 or a dispatch instruction is transmitted to the dispatch vehicle. The management apparatus 1 dispatches a vehicle to a user.

  In the first embodiment, the management device 1 first receives the vehicle allocation request information including the boarding position and the getting-off position from the user terminal 2. Next, the management apparatus 1 determines a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle from each of the 1st vehicle group 3A and the 2nd vehicle group 3B with respect to vehicle allocation request information. Then, the management device 1 calculates a required fee and a required time for the allocation request for each determined allocation candidate vehicle. And the management apparatus 1 specifies a suitable vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in each of a fee surface and a time surface among vehicle allocation candidate vehicles. The management device 1 determines whether or not a suitable vehicle allocation candidate vehicle in terms of price and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle preferable in time are the same, and generates display information to be displayed to the user based on the determination result. Then, the management device 1 transmits the generated display information to the user terminal 2. Thereafter, when the management apparatus 1 receives selection information indicating the dispatched vehicle selected based on the display information from the user terminal 2, the management apparatus 1 transmits a dispatching instruction to the vehicle indicated in the selection information.

  The user terminal 2 is a terminal that the user has, and is, for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer. For example, the user terminal 2 transmits vehicle allocation request information for requesting vehicle allocation to the management device 1 using wireless communication. The dispatch request information includes at least user identification information for identifying the user, boarding position information, and getting-off position information.

  As a method for instructing the dispatch request to the management device 1 by the user, for example, an application program for making a dispatch request provided by the management device 1 or the like is installed in the user terminal 2 and dispatched using the application program. A method for indicating the request is conceivable. As another method, a method in which the user accesses a dedicated WEB page for making a vehicle allocation request provided by the management apparatus 1 and instructs the vehicle allocation request through the dedicated WEB page can be considered. Note that the method of instructing the vehicle allocation request by the user is not limited to these methods, and any method may be used as long as the user instructs the management device 1 to issue the vehicle allocation request using the user terminal 2. It may be a configuration.

  Note that the user identification information included in the dispatch request information may be identification information for identifying the user terminal 2 used by the user. When both the user identification information for identifying the user and the user terminal identification information for identifying the user terminal 2 are used separately, the vehicle allocation request information includes the user identification information and the user terminal identification information. Both may be included.

  In addition, the user terminal 2 acquires information on the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation request from the management device 1 and displays it to the user. The user terminal 2 receives the selection by the user of the vehicle that desires to dispatch from the displayed information on the candidate vehicle allocation. Then, the user terminal 2 transmits the selection information selected by the user to the management device 1.

  The first vehicle group 3A is composed of one or more unmanned vehicles 31, and the second vehicle group 3B is composed of one or more driver vehicles 32. Further, the charge system of the unmanned vehicle 31 and the charge system of the driver vehicle 32 are different. The unmanned vehicle 31 belonging to the first vehicle group 3 </ b> A and the driver vehicle 32 belonging to the second vehicle group 3 </ b> B communicate at least via a vehicle position measurement unit that measures the current position, and the management device 1 via the network 4. A part. Each vehicle 31, 32 periodically measures the current position and transmits the current position information to the management device 1. The vehicle position measurement unit is, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System). The communication unit is, for example, a communication module such as a LAN (Local Area Network) or a WAN (Wide Area Network). With this configuration, the management device 1 can manage the positions of the vehicles 31 and 32.

  Below, the structure of the management apparatus 1 and the user terminal 2 is demonstrated in detail.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the management device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The management device 1 includes a communication unit 11, a control unit 12, and a storage unit 13.

  The communication unit 11 transmits and receives various information to and from external devices such as the user terminal 2, the unmanned vehicle 31 belonging to the first vehicle group 3A, and the driver vehicle 32 belonging to the second vehicle group 3B. The communication unit 11 transmits and receives various information to and from an external device via, for example, a WAN, a LAN, or the Internet.

  The control unit 12 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and a vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121, a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122, a required fee calculation unit 123, a required time calculation unit 124, a minimum required fee vehicle identification unit 125, a shortest A required time vehicle identification unit 126, a display information generation unit 127, and a display information transmission unit 128 are provided.

  The vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121 acquires vehicle allocation request information including at least position information indicating the location of the vehicle allocation destination to which the vehicle is allocated from the user terminal 2. The dispatch destination is a delivery source of a delivery target delivered by the vehicle. The dispatch request information may further include position information indicating the position of the destination of the vehicle to be dispatched. The destination is a delivery destination to be delivered. The dispatch request information acquisition unit 121 includes at least user identification information for identifying the user, boarding position information indicating a boarding position at which the user gets on the dispatched vehicle, and an exit position at which the user gets off the dispatching vehicle. The allocation request information including the getting-off position information shown is acquired from the user terminal 2. The dispatch request information acquisition unit 121 stores the acquired dispatch request information in the dispatch request information storage unit 131 of the storage unit 13.

  The vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 determines a first vehicle to be a vehicle allocation candidate from the first vehicle group 3A based on the vehicle information and the vehicle allocation request information, and a second vehicle allocation candidate from the second vehicle group 3B. Determine the vehicle. The vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 determines an optimal vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation request information for each vehicle group using a predetermined vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm based on the vehicle information stored in the vehicle information storage unit 133.

  Here, the vehicle information managed by the management device 1 includes vehicle identification information for identifying the vehicle, vehicle group identification information representing a vehicle group to which the vehicle belongs, vehicle position information acquired from the vehicle, and at least delivery. It includes vehicle state information that indicates whether the vehicle is in the middle. The allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm is stored in advance in the control program storage unit 137.

  The vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm may be an arbitrary algorithm as long as the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation request information can be determined. As an example of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 determines, for example, a vehicle that is present at a position closest to the boarding position included in the vehicle allocation request information among the vehicles belonging to the vehicle group as the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. .

  As another example of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 calculates a required fee when a vehicle is allocated in response to a vehicle allocation request for each vehicle belonging to the vehicle group, and the vehicle with the lowest required fee is calculated. May be determined as a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle.

  Further, as another example of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 generates a route from the vehicle position to the boarding position for each vehicle, and based on the route, from the vehicle position to the boarding position. The required time may be calculated, and the vehicle having the shortest required time may be determined as a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. In addition, the control program storage unit 137 stores a plurality of vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithms in advance, and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 selects among the plurality of vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithms, for example, according to an administrator's preference. One allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm may be determined.

  The required fee calculation unit 123 calculates a first parameter related to a fee for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The required fee calculation unit 123 determines the first fee required for the first vehicle and the second vehicle to move based on predetermined fee structure information for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. Calculate as a parameter. Note that the predetermined fee structure information may be stored in advance in the fee structure information storage unit 135 or may be acquired from the outside.

  The required fee calculation unit 123 is based on predetermined fee structure information stored in the fee structure information storage unit 135 for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122. Calculate the required fee. The fee structure information will be described later.

  The required time calculation unit 124 calculates a second parameter related to time for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The required time calculation unit 124 calculates the required time required for the first vehicle and the second vehicle to move based on a predetermined required time calculation rule for each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. Calculated as two parameters. The predetermined required time calculation rule may be stored in advance in the control program storage unit 137 or may be acquired from the outside.

  The required time calculation unit 124 calculates the required time based on a predetermined required time calculation rule for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for each vehicle group determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122. The predetermined required time calculation rule is stored in the control program storage unit 137 in advance.

  As an example of the required time calculation rule, the required time calculation unit 124 generates a route from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle, and the vehicle moves the distance of the generated route. The required time is calculated by dividing by the running speed. In the case of this required time calculation rule, the required time is the travel time for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to move from the current position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets on the vehicle allocation vehicle. Note that the traveling speed at which the vehicle moves is determined based on, for example, the legal speed of the road used as a route. The legal speed of each road is included in the map information in advance and acquired from the map information, for example. When the legal speed differs for each road used as a route, it is preferable to calculate the required time by changing the legal speed used for each road. Further, since the vehicle cannot always travel at the legal speed due to a signal or traffic jam, it is preferable to determine the travel speed in consideration of traffic information such as the signal or traffic jam. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the difference between the required time calculated by applying the required time calculation rule and the actual required time.

  As another example of the required time calculation rule, the storage unit 13 stores the past travel history of the vehicle, and the required time calculation unit 124 gets off from the boarding position in the dispatch request from the travel history. The travel history of the route to the position may be extracted, and the travel time from the boarding position to the getting-off position may be calculated as the required time from the extracted travel history. In the case of this configuration, it is desirable not to simply extract the travel history of the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position in the vehicle allocation request, but to extract the travel history narrowed down by conditions such as the time zone of travel or the vehicle type. With this configuration, it is possible to determine the required time with higher accuracy. In the case of this configuration, since it is the required time actually traveled in the past, it is considered that the deviation from the actual required time is small. However, when this configuration is used, a travel history of the vehicle is required in advance. Therefore, this required time calculation rule may be applied when there is a travel history of the vehicle, and another required time calculation rule may be applied when there is no travel history of the vehicle.

  As another example of the required time calculation rule, the required time calculation unit 124, from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle, the user gets off the dispatch vehicle via the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle. A route to the getting-off position is generated, and the required time is calculated by dividing the distance of the generated route by the traveling speed at which the vehicle moves. In the case of this required time calculation rule, the required time is determined as the unloading position where the user gets off the dispatch vehicle from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle via the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle. Travel time to move to.

  As the required time calculation rule, other required time calculation rules may be used as long as the required time can be calculated.

  In the above example, the required time is the travel time from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle, that is, the dispatch vehicle from the current position. Waiting time until arrival at the boarding position, travel time until the candidate vehicle is moved from the boarding position where the user gets on the boarding vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets off the boarding vehicle, that is, the dispatching vehicle The ride time from the boarding position until it arrives at the drop-off position, or the user can get off the dispatch vehicle from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle via the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle. It has been explained that there are three types of travel time to move to the unloading position, that is, total travel time until the dispatched vehicle arrives at the unloading position from the current position. It may be.

  The required time calculation unit 124 may calculate a plurality of required times. This is because the calculated required time may be information used to determine the dispatch vehicle from the temporal aspect when determining the dispatch vehicle. When a user selects a dispatch vehicle in terms of time, it is different depending on the user whether the waiting time until the dispatch vehicle arrives at the boarding position, the boarding time, or the total travel time. Therefore, it is preferable that the user can set which time is important. With this configuration, it is possible to calculate temporal information according to the user's wishes.

  The minimum required vehicle specifying unit 125 specifies a vehicle in which the first parameter satisfies the first condition among the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 specifies a vehicle having a lower required fee among the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 compares the required fee with respect to each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles for each vehicle group calculated by the required fee calculating unit 123, and specifies the lowest required fee vehicle having the lowest required fee.

  The shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 specifies a vehicle in which the second parameter satisfies the second condition among the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 specifies a vehicle having a shorter required time out of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. The shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 compares the required time for each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles for each vehicle group calculated by the required time calculating unit 124, and specifies the shortest required time vehicle having the shortest required time.

  When the vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 and the vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 are the same, the display information generating unit 127 satisfies the first condition. And the presentation information for showing the user the information regarding the vehicle in which the second parameter satisfies the second condition is generated. When the vehicle specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 and the vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 are the same, the display information generating unit 127 has a low required fee and a short required time. Presentation information for presenting information about the vehicle to the user is generated.

  Further, when the vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 and the vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 are not the same, the display information generating unit 127 sets the first parameter to the first condition. Presentation information for presenting information about a vehicle satisfying the condition and a vehicle whose second parameter satisfies the second condition to the user is generated. When the vehicle specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 and the vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 are not the same, the display information generating unit 127 has a low required fee and a short required time. And presenting information for presenting information related to each to the user.

  The display information generation unit 127 determines whether or not the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required charge vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 are the same. .

Unit 136 and control program storage unit 137.

  The vehicle allocation request information storage unit 131 stores the vehicle allocation request information acquired from the user terminal 2 by the vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of vehicle allocation request information stored in the vehicle allocation request information storage unit. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the dispatch request information storage unit 131 stores three dispatch request information. The vehicle allocation request information includes a vehicle allocation request ID for identifying the vehicle allocation request information, a user ID for identifying the user, boarding position information indicating the boarding position, boarding position information indicating the boarding position, and actual allocation Allocation vehicle information indicating the vehicle is included. In this example, in the column of dispatch vehicle information, information related to the vehicle actually dispatched with respect to the dispatch request information is also stored. The dispatch vehicle information is not information extracted from the dispatch request information received from the user terminal 2 but information indicating a dispatch vehicle determined based on the dispatch request information after the dispatch request information is acquired.

  The user information storage unit 132 stores user information about the user acquired from the user terminal 2. The user information is acquired from the user terminal 2 when, for example, the user terminal 2 is registered in the management device 1 at the start of use of the dispatch service. The user information includes at least address information of the user terminal 2 necessary for transmitting / receiving information to / from the user terminal 2.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of user information stored in the user information storage unit. The user information includes, for example, a user ID for identifying the user and address information for transmitting / receiving information to / from the user terminal 2. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, a mail address is stored as address information necessary for transmitting / receiving information to / from the user terminal 2. The address information necessary for transmitting / receiving information to / from the user terminal 2 is not limited to a mail address, and may be, for example, an IP (Internet Protocol) address or a MAC (Media Access Control) address. The address information may be any information as long as it is address information that can be used to transmit / receive information to / from the user terminal 2.

  The vehicle information storage unit 133 stores vehicle information related to each vehicle in the vehicle group managed by the management device 1. The vehicle information indicates at least vehicle identification information for identifying the vehicle, vehicle group identification information indicating a vehicle group to which the vehicle belongs, vehicle position information acquired from the vehicle, and vehicle status indicating whether delivery is in progress.

  The management device 1 periodically acquires position information from each vehicle. Each vehicle includes a vehicle position measurement unit for acquiring position information of the host vehicle, and periodically transmits the position information to the management device 1. The management device 1 updates the position information of the vehicle information based on the acquired position information of the vehicle.

  The vehicle state information is information indicating the state of the vehicle and is updated when the state of the vehicle changes. As a method for updating the vehicle state information, for example, the management device 1 first sets the vehicle state information of all the vehicles to “empty vehicle”. Thereafter, when a dispatch instruction for the dispatch request information is transmitted to the vehicle, the management device 1 sets the vehicle state information of the vehicle that has transmitted the dispatch instruction to “delivering”. Thereafter, when it is detected that the position information of the vehicle being delivered has moved to a position according to the dispatch instruction, the management device 1 sets the vehicle state information to “empty vehicle”.

  In the case of this configuration, the management device 1 considers that the delivery has been completed simply based on the position information of the vehicle, but the vehicle may include a sensor for detecting the person's getting on and off, and the boarding position is determined by the sensor. It is also possible to detect that a person has got on and detect that a person has got off at the position of getting off. The vehicle may transmit the boarding detection information indicating that the person has got on to the management apparatus 1, and may transmit the boarding detection information indicating that the person has got off to the management apparatus 1. The management device 1 may determine that the delivery has been completed based on the boarding detection information and the getting-off detection information received from the vehicle. With this configuration, it can be determined that delivery has been completed more reliably. In addition, while detecting that a person got on at the boarding position and detecting that a person got off at the getting-off position, an infrared sensor installed in the car detects the presence of a person, or a camera installed in the car The presence / absence of a person may be detected by using a sensor, and the presence / absence of a person can be detected by various sensors.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of vehicle information stored in the vehicle information storage unit. For example, the vehicle information includes a vehicle ID for identifying the vehicle, vehicle group identification information for identifying the vehicle group to which the vehicle belongs, position information indicating the position of the vehicle, and whether the vehicle is empty or in delivery. It includes vehicle status information indicating whether or not there is. The example shown in FIG. 5 shows a case where there are a vehicle group of unmanned vehicles and a vehicle group of driver vehicles as vehicle groups.

Map information is, for example, road data for providing or guiding road data related to road links, intersection data related to intersections, facility data related to facilities, and various driving information (eg, legal speed information) to driving vehicles. The display object data etc. which show the display object installed or formed on are included. The map information is acquired from, for example, an external server and stored in advance. In addition, since a road condition changes when a road or a facility is newly formed or changed, the management apparatus 1 periodically accesses an external server or the like, acquires map information, and maps information It is desirable to update. The map information is used, for example, to generate a route from the current position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets on the vehicle to be allocated, and to generate a route from the boarding position to the boarding position.

  The fee structure information storage unit 135 stores fee structure information indicating a fee structure for each vehicle group. The fee structure information storage unit 135 stores fee structure information used when the required fee calculation unit 123 calculates a required fee for each of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles for each vehicle group. The required fee calculation unit 123 calculates the required fee for the allocation candidate vehicle belonging to the unmanned vehicle group and the required fee for the allocation candidate vehicle belonging to the driver vehicle group based on the fee structure information.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of fee structure information stored in the fee structure information storage unit. FIG. 6 shows a fee structure for each of the unmanned vehicle and the driver vehicle. The example shown in FIG. 6 shows a fee system composed of a distance fee and a time / distance combined fee. The distance-based fee is a method of adding a fee according to the travel distance. The time-distance combined fee is a method in which a fee is added according to the travel distance when the vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined value, and a charge is added according to the travel time when the vehicle speed is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

  Specifically, how the required fee is calculated will be described using an unmanned vehicle as an example. First, as the first boarding fee, it costs 500 yen until the first 2000 m, and then 80 yen is added every 250 m (distance fee). When the speed is 10 km / h or less, the distance is replaced with time, and 80 yen is added every 1 minute and 30 seconds (time-distance combined charge).

  The fee structure information shown in FIG. 6 is an example, and the fee structure information is not limited to the example shown here as long as it is information that can be used when calculating the fee. The fee system information may use, for example, a time-based fee method in which a fee is added according to travel time. The fee structure information may be a method of charging a fee for picking up the vehicle from the current position of the vehicle to the boarding position, or a method of charging a midnight charge that adds a charge further to the normal charge at midnight.

  The vehicle allocation candidate vehicle information storage unit 136 stores vehicle allocation candidate vehicle information related to vehicle allocation candidate vehicles for each vehicle group determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of vehicle allocation candidate vehicle information stored in the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle information storage unit. In FIG. 7, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle information includes a vehicle allocation request ID for identifying vehicle allocation request information, a required time calculated by the required time calculation unit 124, a required fee calculated by the required fee calculation unit 123, and a minimum required time vehicle. It includes information indicating the minimum required time vehicle specified by the specifying unit 126 and information indicating the minimum required fee vehicle specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125.

  In the first embodiment, the management device 1 corresponds to an example of a vehicle allocation support device, the vehicle information storage unit 133 corresponds to an example of a vehicle information storage unit, and the vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121 corresponds to an allocation request information acquisition unit. The vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 corresponds to an example of a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit, the required fee calculation unit 123 corresponds to an example of a first parameter calculation unit, and the required time calculation unit 124 The minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 corresponds to an example of a first vehicle specifying unit, the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 corresponds to an example of a second vehicle specifying unit, The display information generation unit 127 corresponds to an example of a presentation information generation unit, and the display information transmission unit 128 corresponds to an example of a presentation information transmission unit.

  Next, the configuration of the user terminal 2 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a user terminal according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The user terminal 2 includes a communication unit 21, a display unit 22, an input unit 23, a control unit 24, and a storage unit 25.

  The communication unit 21 transmits vehicle allocation request information to the management device 1 and receives display information from the management device 1 for assisting the user in determining the vehicle to be allocated. The communication unit 21 transmits / receives information to / from an external device such as the management device 1. The communication unit 21 transmits and receives information via the network 4 such as WAN, LAN, and the Internet.

  The display unit 22 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays an input screen for inputting dispatch request information, or displays display information for assisting a user to determine a dispatch vehicle received from the management device 1. To do.

  The input unit 23 is, for example, a keyboard or a mouse, and accepts an input operation by a user. The user inputs information to the user terminal 2 via the input unit 23. In addition, the display part 22 and the input part 23 may be comprised integrally like the touch panel of a smart phone. In this case, the user inputs information by touching the touch panel of the display unit 22. The user inputs the boarding position where the user gets on and the boarding position where the user gets off, included in the dispatch request information, via the input unit 23. In addition, when display information for presenting a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation request information to the user is received from the management device 1 and displayed, the input unit 23 receives a selection by the user of the vehicle that desires the vehicle allocation.

  An example in which the user inputs the boarding position and the getting-off position from the vehicle allocation request input screen displayed on the display unit 22 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a dispatch request input screen displayed on the display unit for inputting dispatch request information, and FIG. 10 is a dispatch request displayed on the display unit for inputting dispatch request information. It is a figure which shows the other example of an input screen.

  In the dispatch request input screen shown in FIG. 9, a map for inputting the boarding position and the getting-off position is displayed. The user inputs the boarding position and the getting-off position by designating the boarding position and the getting-off position on the map displayed on the display unit 22.

  On the other hand, in the dispatch request input screen shown in FIG. 10, an input field for inputting the boarding position and the getting-off position is displayed. The user inputs the boarding position and the getting-off position by inputting an address in the entry field of the boarding position and the getting-off position displayed on the display unit 22.

  The dispatch request information including the boarding position and the getting-off position input by the input unit 23 is transmitted to the management device 1 by the communication unit 21. If the management apparatus 1 manages the information input in different forms as shown in FIG. 9 or FIG. 10 as it is, processing becomes complicated. Therefore, the management apparatus 1 may manage the input information after unifying it. For example, the management device 1 may manage the boarding position information and the getting-off position information represented by the longitude and the latitude by converting the transmitted boarding position information and the getting-off position information into an expression using longitude and latitude. As another example, the user terminal 2 converts the boarding position information and the getting-off position information input from the input unit 23 into an expression using longitude and latitude, and includes the converted boarding position information and getting-off position information. The vehicle allocation request information may be transmitted to the management device 1. The boarding position and the getting-off position may be input via a dedicated application for making a vehicle allocation request, or may be performed via a dedicated WEB page for making a vehicle allocation request.

  The control unit 24 is, for example, a CPU, and performs processing related to various controls of the user terminal 2.

  The storage unit 25 is, for example, a semiconductor memory or the like, and stores various information such as an application for making a vehicle allocation request, information acquired from the management device 1 and information input from a user. In addition, the storage unit 25 stores address information of the management device 1 in order to transmit vehicle allocation request information to the management device 1. The address information may be acquired from, for example, a dedicated application for transmitting the vehicle allocation request information provided by the management device 1, or when a dedicated web page for transmitting the vehicle allocation request information is provided. You may acquire from the WEB page. In addition, the acquisition method of the address information of the management apparatus 1 is not limited to these methods, You may acquire using another method.

  In the first embodiment, the communication unit 21 corresponds to an example of a transmission unit and a reception unit, and the display unit 22 corresponds to an example of a presentation unit.

  Next, when the management device 1 that manages one or more vehicles for each vehicle group with a different fee structure receives the vehicle allocation request information transmitted by the user terminal 2, the vehicle allocation request information for each vehicle group The optimal vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is determined, and among the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles determined for each vehicle group, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle suitable for each of the price and time is specified, and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle suitable for the price and time Vehicle allocation support for generating display information for assisting the user in determining the vehicle to be allocated based on whether the suitable vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is the same, and transmitting the generated display information to the user terminal 2 The method will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the dispatching support process of the management device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

  First, the dispatch request information acquisition unit 121 includes at least user identification information for identifying a user, boarding position information indicating a boarding position at which the user gets on the dispatched vehicle, and a user getting off from the dispatching vehicle. The allocation request information including the getting-off position information indicating the position is acquired from the user terminal 2 (step S1). The vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121 acquires vehicle allocation request information via the communication unit 11. The dispatch request information acquisition unit 121 stores the acquired dispatch request information in the dispatch request information storage unit 131 of the storage unit 13.

  Next, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 uses the predetermined vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm based on the vehicle information stored in the vehicle information storage unit 133 to determine an optimal vehicle allocation candidate vehicle for the vehicle allocation request information for each vehicle group. Determine (step S2).

  Here, the vehicle information managed by the management device 1 includes vehicle identification information for identifying the vehicle, vehicle group identification information representing a vehicle group to which the vehicle belongs, vehicle position information acquired from the vehicle, and at least delivery. It includes vehicle state information that indicates whether the vehicle is in the middle. The allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm is stored in advance in the control program storage unit 137.

  The allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm may be an arbitrary algorithm as long as the allocation candidate vehicle for the allocation request information can be determined. As an example of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 determines, for example, a vehicle that is present at a position closest to the boarding position included in the vehicle allocation request information among the vehicles belonging to the vehicle group as the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. .

  Moreover, as another example of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 may determine, as a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle, a vehicle with the lowest required fee among vehicles belonging to the vehicle group. Further, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 may determine a vehicle that arrives at the boarding position in the shortest time among the vehicles belonging to the vehicle group as the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. The control program storage unit 137 stores a plurality of vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithms in advance, and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 selects a predetermined condition or an administrator's preference from the plurality of vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithms. Thus, one allocation candidate vehicle determination algorithm may be selected.

  Next, the required fee calculation unit 123 calculates a required fee for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 based on predetermined fee system information stored in the fee system information storage unit 135 ( Step S3). For example, when the fee structure information is a distance-based fee method in which a fixed amount is added for each distance to determine the fee, the required fee calculation unit 123 uses the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle from the current position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. Generates a route for the user to travel from the boarding vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets off the vehicle, and calculates the required fee using the generated route distance and fee structure information. To do. In addition, the required fee calculation unit 123 generates a route in which the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle moves from the boarding position where the user gets on the vehicle to get off the vehicle from the boarding vehicle, and the distance of the generated route The required fee may be calculated using the fee structure information.

  Next, the required time calculation unit 124 calculates the required time for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determined by the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determination unit 122 based on a predetermined required time calculation rule (step S4). The predetermined required time calculation rule is stored in the control program storage unit 137 in advance.

  As an example of the required time calculation rule, the required time calculation unit 124 generates a route from the current position of the candidate vehicle for allocation to the boarding position where the user gets on the allocation vehicle, and the vehicle travels the distance of the generated route. The required time is calculated by dividing by the speed. In the case of this required time calculation rule, the required time is the travel time for the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to move from the current position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets on the vehicle allocation vehicle. Note that the traveling speed at which the vehicle moves can be determined based on the legal speed of the road used as a route. When the legal speed is different for each road used as a route, the traveling speed may be determined according to the legal speed. Further, since the vehicle cannot always travel at the legal speed due to a signal or traffic jam, it is preferable to determine the travel speed in consideration of traffic information such as the signal or traffic jam. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the difference between the required time calculated by applying the required time calculation rule and the actual required time.

  As another example of the required time calculation rule, the required time calculation unit 124 determines that the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle moves from the boarding position where the user gets on the vehicle to be transferred to the boarding position where the user gets off the vehicle. And the required time may be calculated by dividing the distance of the generated route by the traveling speed at which the vehicle moves. In the case of this required time calculation rule, the required time is a moving time from when the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle moves from the boarding position at which the user gets on the vehicle to the boarding position at which the user gets off the vehicle.

  Further, as another example of the required time calculation rule, the required time calculation unit 124 is configured so that the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle moves from the current position of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle via the boarding position where the user gets on the vehicle allocation vehicle. A required time may be calculated by generating a route from the dispatched vehicle to the disembarking position at which the vehicle gets off and dividing the distance of the generated route by the traveling speed at which the vehicle moves. In the case of this required time calculation rule, the required time is determined as the unloading position where the user gets off the dispatch vehicle from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle via the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle. It becomes the movement time until moving to. As the required time calculation rule, other rules may be used as long as the required time can be calculated.

  In the above example, the required time is the travel time from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle, that is, the dispatch vehicle from the current position. Waiting time until arrival at the boarding position, travel time until the candidate vehicle is moved from the boarding position where the user gets on the boarding vehicle to the boarding position where the user gets off the boarding vehicle, that is, the dispatching vehicle The ride time from the boarding position until it arrives at the drop-off position, or the user can get off the dispatch vehicle from the current position of the dispatch candidate vehicle via the boarding position where the user gets on the dispatch vehicle. It has been explained that there are three types of travel time to move to the unloading position, that is, total travel time until the dispatched vehicle arrives at the unloading position from the current position. It may be. The required time calculation unit 124 may calculate a plurality of required times. This is because the calculated required time may be information used to determine the dispatch vehicle from the temporal aspect when determining the dispatch vehicle.

  Note that the process of step S3 and the process of step S4 may be interchanged.

  Next, the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 compares the required fee for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle calculated by the required fee calculating unit 123, and specifies the lowest required fee vehicle having the lowest required fee (step S5). For example, in the case of FIG. 7, since the required fee for the unmanned vehicle A is 2400 yen and the required fee for the driver vehicle D is 2500 yen, the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 sets the minimum required fee for the unmanned vehicle A. Identifies as a vehicle.

  Next, the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 compares the required time for each vehicle allocation candidate vehicle calculated by the required time calculating unit 124, and specifies the shortest required time vehicle having the shortest required time (step S6). For example, in the case of FIG. 7, since the required time of the unmanned vehicle A is 5 minutes and the required time of the driver vehicle D is 1 minute, the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 sets the driver vehicle D to the shortest required time. Identifies as a vehicle.

  Note that the process of step S5 and the process of step S6 may be interchanged.

  Next, the display information generation unit 127 determines whether or not the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required charge vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 are the same. Is determined (step S7). The display information generation unit 127 generates display information for assisting the user in determining the dispatch vehicle based on the determination result. Specifically, when it is determined that the shortest required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are the same (YES in step S7), the display information generation unit 127 has the shortest required time and the required fee is Display information about the lowest vehicle is generated (step S8).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the minimum required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are different (NO in step S7), the display information generating unit 127 determines that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the vehicle having the minimum required fee. Display information relating to each of these is generated (step S9).

  Next, the display information transmission unit 128 transmits the display information generated by the display information generation unit 127 to the user terminal 2 (step S10).

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen that displays display information regarding a vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. When the shortest required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are the same, the display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 displays display information regarding the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee. In FIG. 12, the required time represents the travel time from the current position of the dispatched vehicle to the boarding position, that is, the waiting time of the user.

  In the display information shown in FIG. 12, the unmanned vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is presented to the user as a dispatch vehicle. The display information includes not only the dispatch vehicle but also the route from the current position of the dispatch vehicle to the user's getting-off position, the user's waiting time (required time), and the usage fee (required fee).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen that displays display information regarding each of the vehicle having the shortest required time and the vehicle having the minimum required fee in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. When the shortest required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are different, the display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 displays display information regarding the vehicle having the shortest required time and the vehicle having the minimum required fee. In FIG. 13, as in FIG. 12, the required time represents the travel time from the current position of the dispatched vehicle to the boarding position, that is, the waiting time of the user.

  In the display information shown in FIG. 13, the driver vehicle having the shortest required time and the unmanned vehicle having the minimum required fee are presented to the user as the dispatch vehicle. The display information includes not only the dispatch vehicle but also the route from the current position of the dispatch vehicle to the user's getting-off position, the user's waiting time (required time), and the usage fee (required fee).

  After the display information is transmitted to the user terminal 2, the user selects a vehicle for which a vehicle is desired to be allocated from among the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles displayed on the user terminal 2. The user terminal 2 transmits vehicle selection information indicating the vehicle selected by the user to the management device 1. The management device 1 stands by until vehicle selection information indicating a vehicle that the user desires to dispatch is received from the user terminal 2. And the management apparatus 1 will transmit a vehicle allocation instruction | indication with respect to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle shown by vehicle selection information, if vehicle selection information is received from the user terminal 2. FIG.

  With the above configuration, there are multiple vehicle groups with different fee systems, and when presenting a candidate vehicle for allocation to a user, if there is a candidate vehicle for allocation that is optimal on both the price and time sides, Since only the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is presented to the user, the user is not required to select from the plurality of vehicle allocation candidate vehicles presented, and the burden on the user can be reduced.

  In the first embodiment, an example in which there are two vehicle groups has been described. However, even if there are three or more vehicle groups, the dispatching support system according to the present disclosure can be applied. . When there are three or more vehicle groups, if there are vehicle allocation candidate vehicles that are optimal on both the price and time sides, only the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is presented to the user, and When a certain vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is different from the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in terms of time, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in terms of time are presented to the user. With this configuration, it is possible to display only useful information for the user, so that the burden on the user to select a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle can be reduced.

  In the first embodiment, a service for dispatching a taxi has been described, but the same effect can be obtained in a service for delivering goods. A service for delivering an object is a service for delivering an object from one point to another in response to a user request. The difference between a taxi and a service that delivers goods is the difference in whether the delivery target is a person or a thing. In the case of a service for delivering an object, the user terminal 2 manages vehicle allocation request information including location information of a delivery source indicating a position where the delivery target is loaded and location information of a delivery destination indicating a location where the delivery target is lowered. 1 to send. In the case of a service that dispatches taxis, the location information of the delivery source that indicates the location where the delivery target is loaded corresponds to the location where the person is placed, that is, the location where the user gets on, and the delivery destination that indicates the location where the delivery target is lowered This position information corresponds to the position where the person is dropped, that is, the position where the user gets off.

(Embodiment 2)
In the second embodiment, even if there is a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal on both sides of the fee side and the time side, if the management device has a predetermined condition, A method of presenting information to the user regarding the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal on both sides of the vehicle and the vehicle other than the optimal vehicle allocation candidate vehicle will be described.

  In the second embodiment, when the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal on the side other than the both sides of the fee surface and the time surface is different from the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal on both sides of the fee surface and the time surface, Both the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal on both sides of the fee surface and the time surface and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal on the side other than the both surfaces of the fee surface and the time surface are presented to the user. Accordingly, the user can select a vehicle for which a vehicle is desired to be allocated from among a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time and a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in other aspects.

  In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, there are two vehicle groups, namely, an unmanned vehicle group and a driver vehicle group, as vehicle groups having different fee systems, and the unmanned vehicle and the driver vehicle are taxis. A case will be described.

  The difference between an unmanned vehicle and a driver vehicle is whether or not there is a driver. In the second embodiment, as a side other than both sides of the fee side and the time side, the user can determine the vehicle that he / she wants to dispatch from the side of whether or not a predetermined service is provided by the driver. A vehicle allocation support system will be described.

  The management device 1A shown in FIG. 14 differs from the management device 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control unit 12A and a storage unit 13A.

  The control unit 12A differs from the control unit 12 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121A and a display information generation unit 127A.

  The dispatch request information acquisition unit 121A includes at least user identification information for identifying the user, boarding position information indicating a position where the user gets on the dispatched vehicle, and an exit position indicating the position where the user gets off the dispatched vehicle. The vehicle allocation request information including information and information related to the luggage that the user puts on the vehicle is acquired from the user terminal 2. The information regarding the package is, for example, information such as the type of package, the number of packages, or the weight of packages, and includes at least the number of packages in the example of the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the user terminal 2 transmits vehicle allocation request information further including information related to the luggage.

  The display information generation unit 127A determines whether or not the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required charge vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 are the same. . The display information generation unit 127A generates display information for assisting the user in determining the dispatch vehicle based on the determination result. Specifically, when the display information generation unit 127A determines that the shortest required time vehicle is different from the minimum required fee vehicle, the display information generating unit 127A displays information on each of the vehicle having the shortest required time and the vehicle having the lowest required fee. Display information for display is generated. This process is the same process as the display information generation unit 127 of the first embodiment.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the minimum required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are the same, the display information generation unit 127A further determines whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. When the minimum required fee vehicle specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 and the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 are the same, the display information generating unit 127A further has a predetermined condition. It is determined whether or not (third condition) is satisfied. When the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A provides the user with information related to each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time. Generate presentation information. Further, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A generates presentation information for presenting information related to only one vehicle to the user. The predetermined condition is, for example, a condition that a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is an unmanned vehicle (automated driving vehicle), and the number of luggage to be loaded on the unmanned vehicle is larger than a predetermined number.

  In the second embodiment, the display information generation unit 127A determines whether the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is an unmanned vehicle as a predetermined condition. In some cases, it is further determined whether or not the number of packages exceeds a predetermined value.

  When the display information generation unit 127A determines that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is not an unmanned vehicle, the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee. Display information for displaying the information on is generated. The display information generation unit 127A determines that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is an unmanned vehicle, and determines that the number of luggage does not exceed the predetermined value. Display information for displaying information on the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is generated.

  Furthermore, if the display information generation unit 127A determines that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is an unmanned vehicle and determines that the number of luggage is greater than the predetermined number, Display information for displaying information on one vehicle (unmanned vehicle) having the shortest time and the minimum required fee and other vehicles (driver vehicle) other than that is generated.

  The storage unit 13A is different from the storage unit 13 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control program storage unit 137A.

  The control program storage unit 137A stores the control program of the vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121A and the display information generation unit 127A.

  In the second embodiment, the management device 1A corresponds to an example of a vehicle allocation support device, the vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit 121A corresponds to an example of a vehicle allocation request information acquisition unit, and the display information generation unit 127A includes a presentation information generation unit. It corresponds to an example of a route generation unit.

  Next, even if the management apparatus 1A configured as described above has a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal on both sides of the price plane and the time plane, FIG. 15 shows a vehicle allocation support process for presenting information to the user regarding one vehicle that is optimal on both sides of the vehicle and time, and the other vehicle that is optimal on the side other than the price and time. It explains using.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the dispatching support process of the management device according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in steps S21 to S28, step S32, and step S33 shown in FIG. 15 are the same as the processes in steps S1 to S10 shown in FIG.

  When it is determined in step S27 that the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required charge vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 are the same (in step S27). YES), the display information generation unit 127A determines whether or not the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is an unmanned vehicle (step S29).

  If it is determined in step S29 that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is an unmanned vehicle (YES in step S29), the display information generating unit 127A determines that the number of packages is It is determined whether the number is greater than the predetermined number (step S30). Here, the information regarding the number of packages can be extracted from the dispatch request information acquired from the user terminal 2. In this case, it is assumed that the vehicle allocation request information includes information regarding the number of packages.

  If it is determined in step S30 that the number of packages is greater than the predetermined number (YES in step S30), the display information generation unit 127A has the shortest required time and the lowest required fee. Display information relating to the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (unmanned vehicle) and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) is generated (step S31).

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the determination in step S29 that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is not an unmanned vehicle (NO in step S29), or the determination in step S30 When it is determined that the number of vehicles is equal to or less than the predetermined number (NO in step S30), the display information generation unit 127A generates display information relating to only the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee. (Step S32).

  FIG. 16 is a display for displaying display information regarding one vehicle (unmanned vehicle) and the other vehicle (driver vehicle) having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee in the second embodiment of the present disclosure. It is a figure which shows an example of a screen. When the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is an unmanned vehicle and the number of luggage is larger than a predetermined number, the display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 has the shortest required time. And the display information regarding one vehicle (unmanned vehicle) and the other vehicle (driver vehicle) whose required fee is the lowest is displayed.

  In FIG. 16, information on an unmanned vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee and information on a driver vehicle having a minimum required time and the minimum required fee are displayed. . The information on the driver vehicle also displays information on aspects other than the fee and time aspects that make the driver vehicle more suitable. That is, if the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information (presentation information) includes other information indicating the reason for presenting information regarding the other vehicle to the user. The other information is, for example, information indicating that the driver supports the loading / unloading of the user's luggage when the dispatch vehicle is a driver vehicle.

  As shown in the example of FIG. 16, by displaying information related to aspects other than the charge and time aspects, the user can recognize aspects other than the charge and time aspects. Considering this aspect, it is possible to determine a vehicle for which a vehicle is desired. If information related to aspects other than price and time is not displayed, the user simply determines that a vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is not optimal in terms of price and time is displayed. Without considering this aspect, there is a possibility that a vehicle desired to be dispatched is determined.

  With the above configuration, when one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is different from the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is considered optimal in aspects other than the fee and time planes, one vehicle allocation By displaying both the candidate vehicle and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle to the user, the user wishes to dispatch in consideration of the aspect other than the fee and time in addition to the fee and time. The vehicle to be selected can be selected.

  In step S27 of FIG. 15, it is determined that the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required charge vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 are not the same. In this case (NO in step S27), the display information generation unit 127A generates display information regarding each of the vehicle having the shortest required time and the vehicle having the minimum required fee. Other information indicating the reason for presenting the information on the user to the user may be included. Thereby, the user can select a vehicle in consideration of the third condition when it is difficult to select the vehicle under the first condition and the second condition.

  Further, in step S31 of FIG. 15, the display information generation unit 127A has one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (unmanned vehicle) and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee. Display information about is generated. At this time, the control unit 12A displays the selection history of which one of the vehicle allocation candidate vehicles and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle has been selected by the user, the user position information, the vehicle usage time, and the weather information. The information may be stored in association with at least one of the sex of the user and the age of the user. Then, after a predetermined amount of stored selection history information is accumulated, the control unit 12A selects the other vehicle when presenting one vehicle and the other vehicle with the shortest required time and the minimum required fee. A condition that increases the possibility of being performed may be extracted by machine learning. Then, only when the extracted conditions are met, the display information generation unit 127A may present one vehicle and the other vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee. As a result, the information on the other vehicle is presented to the user only when there is a high possibility that the user needs information on the other vehicle, so that appropriate information can be provided to the user in a timely manner.

  When using a taxi, the user may load his / her baggage together on the vehicle. When the number of luggage is large, it is a burden on the user to load or unload the luggage on the vehicle. When the vehicle to be used is an unmanned vehicle, the user needs to perform the work of loading and unloading the luggage by himself / herself. On the other hand, when the vehicle to be used is a driver vehicle, the driver may support the work of loading and unloading luggage. Therefore, there may be a user who wants to determine a dispatch vehicle in consideration of the service of loading and unloading luggage. In the case of the configuration described in the second embodiment, the user considers the aspect of whether the driver supports the work of loading and unloading the luggage on the vehicle in addition to the price and time. Thus, it is possible to determine a vehicle that is desired to be dispatched.

  In the second embodiment, in step S30, the display information generation unit 127A determines whether or not the number of packages is greater than a predetermined number, but whether or not the weight of the packages is heavier than a predetermined value. May be determined. In this case, the display information generation unit 127A performs the process of step S31 when it is determined that the weight of the package is heavier than a predetermined value, and when it is determined that the weight of the package is equal to or less than the predetermined value, step S32 Perform the process.

  The information on the weight of the luggage can be acquired from the dispatch request information, for example, as with the number of luggage. In the case of this configuration, the user inputs vehicle allocation request information including the weight of the package. However, since the user is not necessarily in an environment where the weight of the package can be measured, the user cannot know the weight of the package and may input the information on the package weight inaccurately. Therefore, the management device 1A may acquire the vehicle allocation request information including the type of the package from the user terminal 2 instead of the weight of the package. The display information generation unit 127A may determine the weight of the package corresponding to the type of package with reference to a database in which the weight is associated with each type of package. In the case of this configuration, the management apparatus 1A may include a database in which the weight is associated with each type of luggage. In addition, the management device 1A transmits the type of the package to the external device including a database in which the weight is associated with each type of package, and receives the weight of the package corresponding to the type of package from the external device. Also good.

  In the second embodiment, the presence / absence of support for loading / unloading of the luggage has been described as the side other than the charge side and the time side, but other sides other than the charge side and the time side may be used. Below, the modification of this Embodiment 2 about another side is explained.

<Modification 1>
In the first modification of the second embodiment, the presence / absence of a private space will be described as a side other than the charge side and the time side. When a plurality of friends or acquaintances use a taxi together, it is conceivable that a plurality of persons talk in the car. At this time, if the dispatch vehicle is a driver vehicle, a plurality of persons will have a conversation in the same space as the driver, and the plurality of persons may limit the content of the conversation due to the presence of the driver. . However, when the dispatch vehicle is an unmanned vehicle, the driver is absent, and the vehicle becomes a private space, so that a plurality of persons can talk without worrying about the driver.

  Therefore, in the first modification of the second embodiment, when the vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is a driver vehicle and the number of users is two or more, in terms of price and time FIG. 17 shows a vehicle allocation support process that presents to the user both an optimal driver vehicle and an unmanned vehicle that is optimal in terms of providing a private space other than the toll and time aspects. It explains using.

  In the first modification of the second embodiment, the display information generating unit 127A includes the minimum required fee vehicle specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 and the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126. Are the same, it is further determined whether or not a predetermined condition (third condition) is satisfied. When the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A provides the user with information related to each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time. Generate presentation information. Further, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A generates presentation information for presenting information related to only one vehicle to the user. The predetermined condition is, for example, that a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is a driver vehicle, a person to be delivered is a person, and the number of persons is greater than a predetermined number (for example, one person). It is a condition that there are many.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart for describing the vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the first modification of the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in steps S41 to S48 and steps S51 to S53 shown in FIG. 17 are the same as the processes in steps S21 to S28 and steps S31 to S33 shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S47 that the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required fee vehicle specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 are the same (in step S47). YES), the display information generation unit 127A determines whether or not the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is a driver vehicle (step S49).

  If it is determined in step S49 that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is a driver vehicle (YES in step S49), the display information generating unit 127A has the number of users. It is determined whether or not the number is greater than the predetermined number (step S50). Here, the information regarding the number of users can be extracted from the vehicle allocation request information acquired from the user terminal 2, for example. In this case, it is assumed that the vehicle allocation request information includes the number of users. The predetermined number is, for example, one person.

  If it is determined in step S50 that the number of users is greater than the predetermined number (YES in step S50), the display information generation unit 127A has the shortest required time and the minimum required fee. Display information regarding the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (unmanned vehicle) is generated (step S51).

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the determination in step S49 that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is not a driver vehicle (NO in step S49), or if the vehicle is used by the determination in step S50. When it is determined that the number of persons is equal to or less than the predetermined number (NO in step S50), the display information generation unit 127A generates display information relating only to the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee. (Step S52).

  FIG. 18 shows display information related to one vehicle (driver vehicle) and the other vehicle (unmanned vehicle) having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee in Modification 1 of Embodiment 2 of the present disclosure. It is a figure which shows an example of the display screen which displays. When the required time is the shortest and the vehicle with the lowest required fee is a driver vehicle and the number of users is greater than a predetermined number, the display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 displays the minimum required time. Display information regarding one vehicle (driver vehicle) and the other vehicle (unmanned vehicle) that are present and have the lowest required fee is displayed.

  In FIG. 18, information on the driver vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee and information on the unmanned vehicle having the minimum required time and the minimum required fee are displayed. . In addition, in the information on the unmanned vehicle, information on aspects other than the fee and time aspects that are suitable for the unmanned vehicle is also displayed. That is, if the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information (presentation information) includes other information indicating the reason for presenting information regarding the other vehicle to the user. The other information is information indicating that, for example, when the dispatch vehicle is an unmanned vehicle, a plurality of users can enjoy a conversation without worrying about the driver.

  With the above configuration, the user decides the vehicle that he / she wants to dispatch in consideration of the aspect other than the price and time, such as whether to provide a private space, in addition to the price and time. Can do.

  In the first modification of the second embodiment, only when the required time is the shortest and the vehicle with the minimum required fee is a driver vehicle and the number of users is greater than a predetermined number, Display information about one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (unmanned vehicle) whose required time is the shortest and the minimum required fee is displayed to the user. When the vehicle with the shortest time and the minimum required fee is a driver vehicle, the number of users is greater than the specified number, and other users who are not acquainted with the user do not share In addition, display information regarding one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (unmanned vehicle) having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee may be provided to the user.

  With this configuration, when another user who is not familiar with the user rides on the same vehicle, it is possible to suppress display of display information regarding the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (unmanned vehicle) of the other vehicle group. When other users who are not acquainted with the user share the same vehicle, the inside of the vehicle does not become a private space, and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (unmanned vehicle) of the other vehicle group becomes unnecessary for the user. . In addition, the information regarding whether to share with other users who are not acquainted with the user can be extracted from, for example, the dispatch request information acquired from the user terminal 2. In this case, it is assumed that the vehicle allocation request information includes information regarding whether or not to share with other users who are not acquainted with the user.

<Modification 2>
In the second modification of the second embodiment, the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position will be described as a side surface other than the toll surface and the time surface. When a user uses a taxi, if the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position is short, the fare will be reduced, so the user should refrain from the driver who wants to make a long-distance transportation and increase profits and go to the driver vehicle There is a risk of hesitating to board. Therefore, some users want to give priority to unmanned vehicles when the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position is short.

  Therefore, in the second modification of the second embodiment, the vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is a driver vehicle, and the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position is shorter than a predetermined distance, or If the vehicle that is optimal in terms of time and time is a driver vehicle, and the required fee from the boarding position to the getting-off position is lower than the predetermined fee, A vehicle allocation support process for presenting both the unmanned vehicle that is optimal in aspects other than the time aspect to the user will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the second modification of the second embodiment, the display information generating unit 127A includes the minimum required fee vehicle specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 and the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126.

When the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A provides the user with information related to each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time. Generate presentation information. Further, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A generates presentation information for presenting information related to only one vehicle to the user. The predetermined condition is, for example, a condition that a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is a driver vehicle, and a distance from a delivery source to a delivery destination is shorter than a predetermined distance.

  The predetermined condition may be a condition that a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is a driver vehicle, and a required fee from a delivery source to a delivery destination is lower than a predetermined fee.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart for describing a vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the second modification of the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in steps S61 to S68 and steps S71 to S73 shown in FIG. 19 are the same as the processes in steps S21 to S28 and steps S31 to S33 shown in FIG.

  When it is determined in step S67 that the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required fee vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 are the same (in step S67). YES), the display information generation unit 127A determines whether or not the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is a driver vehicle (step S69).

  If it is determined in step S69 that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is a driver vehicle (YES in step S69), the display information generating unit 127A gets off from the boarding position. It is determined whether or not the distance to the position is shorter than a predetermined distance (step S70). Here, for example, the display information generation unit 127A generates a route from the boarding position to the getting-off position, and calculates a distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position from the generated route.

  When it is determined in step S70 that the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position is shorter than the predetermined distance (YES in step S70), the display information generation unit 127A has the shortest required time and the required fee. Display information regarding one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (unmanned vehicle) having the lowest is generated (step S71).

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the determination in step S69 that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is not a driver vehicle (NO in step S69), When it is determined that the distance from the position to the getting-off position is equal to or greater than the predetermined distance (NO in step S70), the display information generation unit 127A only requires the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee. The display information regarding is generated (step S72).

The other information is, for example, information indicating that the user can use a taxi without worrying about the driver when the dispatch vehicle is an unmanned vehicle.

  With the above configuration, the user can determine a vehicle for which a vehicle is desired to be dispatched in consideration of aspects other than the price and time aspects of the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position in addition to the price and time aspects. .

  In the second modification of the second embodiment, the determination is made by using the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position, but the fee from the boarding position to the getting-off position is used instead of the distance from the boarding position to the getting-off position. The same effect as described above can be obtained.

<Modification 3>
In the third modification of the second embodiment, user preferences will be described as aspects other than the charge and time aspects. Modification 3 is basically effective for a user who wishes to determine a vehicle to be dispatched in consideration of the price and time, although there are vehicle types desired by the user. For example, a user who wants to use an unmanned vehicle, if possible, because he does not like conversations with a driver, even if the optimal vehicle in terms of price and time is a driver vehicle, the unmanned vehicle that is the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle If the difference between the required fee and required time of the driver and the required fee and required time of the driver vehicle is small, there is a possibility of selecting an unmanned vehicle. Therefore, in the third modification, when one vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is compared with the other vehicle, and the difference between the price and time is smaller than a predetermined value, the optimal in terms of price and time A vehicle allocation support process for presenting both one vehicle and the other vehicle in which the difference in price and time are smaller than a predetermined value will be described with reference to FIG.

Generate presentation information. Further, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A generates presentation information for presenting information related to only one vehicle to the user. The predetermined condition is, for example, that the difference between the required fee of the unmanned vehicle (first vehicle) and the required fee of the driver vehicle (second vehicle) is smaller than the first threshold and / or the unmanned vehicle (first vehicle). The difference between the required time of the vehicle and the required time of the driver vehicle (second vehicle) is smaller than the second threshold value.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart for describing a vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the third modification of the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in steps S81 to S88 and steps S90 to S92 shown in FIG. 21 are the same as the processes in steps S21 to S28 and steps S31 to S33 shown in FIG.

  When it is determined in step S87 that the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required fee vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 are the same (in step S87). YES), the display information generation unit 127A has the shortest required time and the difference in the required fee between the one vehicle having the minimum required fee and the other vehicle is smaller than the first threshold and the required time Is the shortest, and it is determined whether or not the difference in required time between the one vehicle having the minimum required fee and the other vehicle is smaller than the second threshold (step S89).

  As a result of the determination in step S89, the required time is the shortest and the difference in the required fee between the one vehicle having the minimum required fee and the other vehicle is smaller than the first threshold and the required time is the shortest. And when it determines with satisfy | filling the conditions that the difference of the required time of one vehicle with the minimum required charge and the other vehicle is smaller than a 2nd threshold value (it is YES at step S89), 127 A of display information generation parts Generates display information relating to one vehicle and the other vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee (step S90).

  On the other hand, according to the determination in step S89, the required time is the shortest and the difference in the required fee between the one vehicle having the lowest required fee and the other vehicle is smaller than the first threshold, and the required time is the shortest. If it is determined that the condition that the difference in required time between the one vehicle having the lowest required fee and the other vehicle is smaller than the second threshold is not satisfied (NO in step S89), display information generation is performed. The unit 127A generates display information related to only the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee (step S91).

It is a figure which shows an example of the display screen which displays. The difference in the required fee between the one vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee and the other vehicle is smaller than the first threshold, the required time is the shortest, and the required fee is When the difference in required time between the lowest vehicle and the other vehicle is smaller than the second threshold, the display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 has the shortest required time and the lowest required fee. Display information about one vehicle (unmanned vehicle) and the other vehicle (driver vehicle) is displayed.

  FIG. 22 shows an example in which the first threshold is 200 yen and the second threshold is 5 minutes. In FIG. 22, the difference in required time between the unmanned vehicle (one vehicle) and the driver vehicle (the other vehicle) having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is 4 minutes, and the difference in required fee Is 100 yen. Therefore, since the difference in the required fee is smaller than the first threshold and the difference in the required time is smaller than the second threshold, both the unmanned vehicle and the driver vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee Is displayed.

  Further, in FIG. 22, information on the unmanned vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee and information on the driver vehicle having the minimum required time and the minimum required fee are displayed. ing. The information on the driver vehicle also displays information on aspects other than the fee and time aspects that make the driver vehicle more suitable. That is, if the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information (presentation information) includes other information indicating the reason for presenting information regarding the other vehicle to the user. The other information is, for example, information indicating that there is a driver vehicle whose arrival waiting time and fare are similar to an unmanned vehicle.

  With the above-described configuration, the user can determine a vehicle for which a vehicle is desired to be dispatched in consideration of aspects other than the price and time aspects of user preference in addition to the price and time aspects.

  In the third modification of the second embodiment, the display information generation unit 127A satisfies the condition that the difference in required fee is smaller than the first threshold and the difference in required time is smaller than the second threshold. If it is determined, display information about one vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee and the other vehicle is generated, but the difference between the required fees is smaller than the first threshold or required When it is determined that the time difference is smaller than the second threshold, display information regarding one vehicle and the other vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee may be generated.

<Modification 4>
In the fourth modification of the second embodiment, a route from the boarding position to the getting-off position will be described as a side surface other than the toll surface and the time surface. When a user uses a taxi, some users want to enjoy the scenery from inside the car. For a user who wants to enjoy the scenery, if the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position is different between the one vehicle with the shortest required time and the minimum required fee, and the other vehicle, In addition to this information, there is a possibility of wishing to present information on the other vehicle.

  In particular, in the case of an unmanned vehicle, the place where the vehicle can travel may be limited due to road conditions. Therefore, in the situation where the unmanned vehicle and the driver vehicle coexist, the unmanned vehicle and the driver vehicle have the same boarding position. And even if it is the same getting off position, the route may be different. When the vehicle belonging to the first group is a driver vehicle and the vehicle belonging to the second group is also a driver vehicle, or the vehicle belonging to the first group is an unmanned vehicle and the vehicle belongs to the second group. When the vehicle to which the vehicle belongs is also an unmanned vehicle, the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determined from the first group and the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle determined from the second group have the same place where the vehicle can travel, so the boarding positions are mutually If they are the same, the getting-off positions are the same, and the route generation algorithms are the same, the route is likely to be the same.

  As an example of the road situation, for example, the width of the road can be considered. Various situations may occur on narrow roads compared to main roads. Therefore, it is difficult to drive an unmanned vehicle on a narrow road. For example, there can be a situation in which an unmanned vehicle can travel only on a main road and cannot travel on a narrow road. For example, on a narrow road, the road width is narrow, so there may be no space for passing vehicles depending on the location. In that case, the unmanned vehicle needs to find a wide place where the vehicles can pass each other and move to the found wide place. Such a situation is unlikely to occur on a highway with a fixed lane.

  In the fourth modification of the second embodiment, the route of one vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is compared with the route of the other vehicle. A vehicle allocation support process for presenting both the optimal one vehicle and the other vehicle to the user will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the fourth modification of the second embodiment, the display information generating unit 127A includes the minimum required fee vehicle specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 and the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126. Are the same, it is further determined whether or not a predetermined condition (third condition) is satisfied. When the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A provides the user with information related to each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time. Generate presentation information. Further, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A generates presentation information for presenting information related to only one vehicle to the user. The display information generation unit 127A performs at least the first allocation candidate vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group and the second allocation candidate vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group based on the allocation request information and the vehicle information. Route information including the route from the delivery source to the delivery destination is generated. The predetermined condition is, for example, a condition that the route of the first vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is different from the route of the second vehicle allocation candidate vehicle.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart for describing a vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the fourth modification of the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in steps S101 to S108 and steps S110 to S112 shown in FIG. 23 are the same as the processes in steps S21 to S28 and steps S31 to S33 shown in FIG.

  When it is determined in step S107 that the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required charge vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 are the same (in step S107). YES), the display information generation unit 127A determines whether the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position of the one vehicle and the other vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is different from each other. (Step S109).

  When it is determined by the determination in step S109 that the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position is different between the one vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee and the other vehicle (in step S109) YES), the display information generation unit 127A generates display information relating to one vehicle and the other vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee (step S110).

  On the other hand, when it is determined by the determination in step S109 that the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position is the same for one vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee and the other vehicle ( In step S109, NO, the display information generation unit 127A generates display information related to only the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee (step S111).

  FIG. 24 shows display information related to one vehicle (driver vehicle) and the other vehicle (unmanned vehicle) having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee in Modification 4 of Embodiment 2 of the present disclosure. It is a figure which shows an example of the display screen which displays. When the route of the driver vehicle (one vehicle) having the shortest required time and the required fee is different from the route of the unmanned vehicle (the other vehicle), the display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 Display information about the driver vehicle and the unmanned vehicle having the shortest time and the minimum required fee is displayed.

  In FIG. 24, information on the driver vehicle whose required time is the shortest and the minimum required fee and information on the unmanned vehicle whose required time is not the shortest and the required fee is not the minimum are displayed. . In addition, in the information on the unmanned vehicle, information on aspects other than the fee and time aspects that are suitable for the unmanned vehicle is also displayed. That is, if the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information (presentation information) includes other information indicating the reason for presenting information regarding the other vehicle to the user. The other information is information indicating that there is an unmanned vehicle whose route from the boarding position to the getting-off position is different from that of the driver vehicle, for example.

  With the above configuration, the user can determine a vehicle for which the vehicle is desired to be dispatched in consideration of the aspect other than the toll and time aspects of the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position in addition to the toll and time aspects. .

  In the fourth modification of the second embodiment, the display information generation unit 127A has the shortest required time and the minimum required fee among the routes from the boarding position of one vehicle to the unloading position. The ratio of the overlapping part with the route from the boarding position of the other vehicle to the getting-off position is calculated, and the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position between one vehicle and the other vehicle is different based on the ratio of the overlapping part. It may be determined whether or not. Specifically, as a method of calculating the ratio of the overlapping portions, the display information generation unit 127A has the total distance of the route from the boarding position of one vehicle to the boarding position, and from the boarding position of the other vehicle to the boarding position. By calculating the proportion of the distance of the route that overlaps with the route up to, the proportion of the overlapping portion (duplication rate) is calculated.

  With this configuration, the display information generation unit 127A, for example, has the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is the same as the route of one vehicle and the other vehicle, that is, overlap When the ratio of the parts to be processed is high, display information relating to only one vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is generated. If the route is almost the same, the user is unlikely to determine the vehicle to be dispatched according to the route from the boarding position to the getting-off position, so the user should present unnecessary information to the user. Can be suppressed. In the above description, the display information generation unit 127A calculates the ratio of overlapping parts, but may calculate the ratio (difference ratio) of non-overlapping parts.

<Modification 5>
In the fifth modification of the second embodiment, the fact that the delivery target is an object will be described as a side other than the charge side and the time side. In the examples so far, a service for distributing a taxi and delivering a person has been described. However, in the fifth modification of the second embodiment, a vehicle such as a taxi is not limited to a person and a service for delivering an object. explain. Here, the service for delivering an article means a service for delivering an article from one point to another in response to a user request. In the case of a service for delivering an object, the user terminal 2 uses a delivery source position information indicating a position where the delivery target is loaded instead of the boarding position information, and a delivery indicating a position where the delivery target is lowered instead of the getting-off position information. The allocation request information including the previous position information is transmitted to the management apparatus 1A.

  In the service of delivering goods, in the case of a driver vehicle, the driver supports loading of a package on the vehicle after arrival at the delivery source, or the driver supports unloading from the vehicle after arrival at the delivery destination. However, in the case of an unmanned vehicle, since there is no driver, it is necessary for the user to load the cargo at the delivery source and unload it at the delivery destination.

  Therefore, in the fifth modification of the second embodiment, when the vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is an unmanned vehicle and the delivery target is an object, the unmanned that is optimal in terms of price and time Referring to FIG. 25, a description will be given of a vehicle allocation support process that presents both a vehicle and a driver vehicle that has support for unloading of a delivery object and that is optimal in terms of aspects other than toll and time.

  In the fifth modification of the second embodiment, the display information generating unit 127A includes the minimum required fee vehicle specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125 and the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126. Are the same, it is further determined whether or not a predetermined condition (third condition) is satisfied. When the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A provides the user with information related to each of the one vehicle and the other vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time. Generate presentation information. Further, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the display information generation unit 127A generates presentation information for presenting information related to only one vehicle to the user. The predetermined condition is, for example, a condition that a vehicle with a low required fee and a short required time is an unmanned vehicle (automated driving vehicle), and a delivery target is an object.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart for describing a vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the fifth modification of the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

  The processes in steps S121 to S128 and steps S131 to S133 shown in FIG. 25 are the same as the processes in steps S21 to S28 and steps S31 to S33 shown in FIG.

  When it is determined in step S127 that the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126 and the minimum required charge vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125 are the same (in step S127). YES), the display information generation unit 127A determines whether or not the vehicle having the shortest required time and the lowest required fee is an unmanned vehicle (step S129).

  If it is determined in step S129 that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is an unmanned vehicle (YES in step S129), the display information generating unit 127A It is determined whether or not (step S130). Here, the process for determining whether or not the delivery target is an object is a process for determining whether the object is a delivery service for goods or a delivery service for people by taxi. For example, the vehicle allocation request information includes delivery type information indicating whether a person using a taxi or a delivery of goods, and the display information generation unit 127A includes the vehicle allocation request information received from the user terminal 2. Based on the included delivery type information, it is determined whether the delivery target is an object.

  As another configuration, the vehicle allocation request information does not include the delivery type information, but the user terminal 2 may transmit the delivery type information to the management apparatus 1A separately from the vehicle allocation request information. Then, the display information generation unit 127A may determine whether the delivery target is an object based on the delivery type information received from the management device 1A. For example, the user terminal 2 accepts a selection of either a service for delivering a person or a service for delivering an object by taxi, and delivery type information indicating either a service for delivering a person or a service for delivering an object Is transmitted to the management apparatus 1A. Thereafter, the user terminal 2 transmits vehicle allocation request information corresponding to the selected service to the management apparatus 1A.

  If it is determined in step S130 that the delivery target is an object (YES in step S130), the display information generation unit 127A has one dispatch candidate with the shortest required time and the lowest required fee. Display information relating to the vehicle (unmanned vehicle) and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle (driver vehicle) is generated (step S131).

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the determination in step S129 that the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is not an unmanned vehicle (NO in step S129), or if the determination in step S130 When it is determined that the target is not an object (NO in step S130), the display information generation unit 127A generates display information related to only the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee (step S132). ).

  FIG. 26 shows display information related to one vehicle (unmanned vehicle) and the other vehicle (driver vehicle) having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee in Modification 5 of Embodiment 2 of the present disclosure. It is a figure which shows an example of the display screen which displays. When the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is an unmanned vehicle and the delivery target is an object, the display unit 22 of the user terminal 2 has the shortest required time, and The display information regarding one vehicle (unmanned vehicle) and the other vehicle (driver vehicle) having the lowest required fee is displayed.

  In FIG. 26, the information of the unmanned vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee and the information of the driver vehicle having the minimum required time and the minimum required fee are displayed. . The information on the driver vehicle also displays information on aspects other than the fee and time aspects that make the driver vehicle more suitable. That is, if the display information generation unit 127A determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display information (presentation information) includes other information indicating the reason for presenting information regarding the other vehicle to the user. The other information is, for example, information indicating that the driver delivers the package to the delivery destination entrance when the dispatch vehicle is a driver vehicle.

  In FIG. 26, for example, when the dispatch vehicle is a driver vehicle, the other information may be information indicating that the driver goes to receive the package to the entrance of the delivery source. In this case, the display unit 22 displays other information on the screen, such as “In the case of a driver's vehicle, the driver asks the delivery source to pick up the package.”

  With the above configuration, the user determines the vehicle to be dispatched in consideration of the aspect other than the price and time aspects such as whether to support the loading and unloading of the package to be delivered in addition to the price and time aspects. be able to.

  In the fifth modification of the second embodiment, it is assumed that the vehicle allocation support system provides both a person delivery service by taxi and an article delivery service, so the delivery target is an article. However, the same effect as that of the present disclosure can be obtained even when the vehicle allocation support system provides only the delivery service of goods. When the dispatching support system provides only a delivery service for goods, it is not necessary to determine whether or not the delivery target is an article. Therefore, the display information generation unit 127A generates display information based on the determination result of whether or not the vehicle having the shortest required time and the minimum required fee is an unmanned vehicle.

  Further, in the fifth modification of the second embodiment, the vehicle allocation support system provides a delivery service in which a package is loaded at the delivery source and then the package is lowered at the delivery destination. However, the present disclosure is particularly limited to this. Alternatively, a collection service for loading packages at a delivery source or a home delivery service for dropping packages at a delivery destination may be provided. The collection service is a service that collects packages from the collection center to the delivery source, and the home delivery service is a service that delivers packages from the collection center to the delivery destination. In the collection service, the destination is the delivery source, and in the home delivery service, the destination is the delivery destination.

  As described above, examples of aspects other than the charge and time aspects have been described, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration where each example is used alone, and may be a configuration where the respective examples are combined. Moreover, in order to fix the combination of each example, it is preferable that it is the structure determined by users, such as an administrator.

  The display information generation unit 127A presents information related to the unmanned vehicle, which is the other vehicle, to the user when one vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is a driver vehicle and satisfies a predetermined condition. If the vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is an unmanned vehicle, even if a predetermined condition is met, information related to the driver vehicle that is the other vehicle should be presented to the user. Instead, display information for presenting information about only one vehicle to the user may be generated.

  With this configuration, if the vehicle with the minimum required fee and the shortest required time is an unmanned vehicle, only information about the unmanned vehicle is displayed, and the minimum required fee is the minimum required When the vehicle which is the required time is a driver vehicle and satisfies a predetermined condition, information on the driver vehicle and the unmanned vehicle is displayed. Therefore, the opportunity for selecting an unmanned vehicle for the user can be increased, and the possibility that the user selects the unmanned vehicle can be increased. For delivery companies, if a user uses an unmanned vehicle rather than a driver vehicle, there is a higher possibility that it will lead to profits because labor costs are not incurred. With this configuration, the delivery company can obtain more profit.

  In the second embodiment, when one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is different from the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in aspects other than the fee and time, Although both the vehicle allocation candidate vehicle and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle are displayed to the user, the display modes of one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle and the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle may be displayed differently. Generally, when deciding a vehicle for which a vehicle is desired to be dispatched, it is often considered to place importance on the price and time, so for example, one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time is allocated to the other It may be displayed more emphasized than the candidate vehicle. As an example of highlighting, for example, the display range of one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is made larger than the display range of the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle, or the character font for displaying one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle is changed to the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. The font of the character to be displayed is different, or a color other than white and black (for example, red or blue) is used as a color for displaying one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle. With this configuration, it is possible to make it easier for the user to visually recognize one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is most suitable in terms of price and time, which the user considers most important.

  The contents of information to be displayed may be different between one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time and another vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in aspects other than the fee and time. For example, the information related to one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is optimal in terms of price and time includes vehicle group identification information, required fee, and required time, and other vehicle allocation candidates that are optimal in aspects other than the fee and time aspects. The vehicle information may include vehicle group identification information and information indicating the reason for presenting the other vehicle information to the user.

  With this configuration, it is possible to provide detailed notification of information related to one vehicle allocation candidate vehicle that is most suitable in terms of price and time, which is considered to be the most important by the user, and it is optimal in aspects other than the price and time aspects. Necessary minimum information can be notified about a certain other allocation candidate vehicle. If you want to check the details of other vehicle allocation candidate vehicles that are optimal in aspects other than price and time, request the detailed display of the other vehicle allocation candidate vehicles, and check the details if the configuration is displayed You can also.

(Embodiment 3)
In the third embodiment, as in the first embodiment, there are two vehicle groups, namely, an unmanned vehicle group and a driver vehicle group, as vehicle groups having different fee systems, and the unmanned vehicle and the driver vehicle are taxis. A case will be described.

  FIG. 27 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a management device according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component same as FIG. 2, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The management device 1B shown in FIG. 27 differs from the management device 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control unit 12B and a storage unit 13B.

  The control unit 12B, with respect to the control unit 12 of the management device 1 shown in FIG. 2, is a required fee calculating unit 123B, a required time calculating unit 124B, a minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125B, a minimum required time vehicle specifying unit 126B, and display information. The generation unit 127B is different.

  The required time calculation unit 124B identifies a vehicle that belongs to either the first vehicle group that is the first fee structure or the second vehicle group that is the second fee structure that is higher than the first fee structure. Vehicle identification information, vehicle allocation information including vehicle group identification information for identifying whether the vehicle belongs to the first vehicle group or the second vehicle group, and position information indicating the position of the vehicle, and a vehicle allocation request Based on the information, a first parameter relating to time is calculated for all vehicles including at least one vehicle belonging to the first vehicle group and at least one vehicle belonging to the second vehicle group. The required time calculation unit 124B calculates the required time required for the vehicle to move as the first parameter for all vehicles based on a predetermined required time calculation rule. The required time calculation rule in the third embodiment is the same as the required time calculation rule described in the first embodiment.

  The shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126B specifies the first vehicle out of all the vehicles that the first parameter satisfies the first condition. The shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126B specifies the vehicle having the shortest required time among all the vehicles as the first vehicle.

  The display information generation unit 127B determines whether or not the first vehicle belongs to the first vehicle group. When the display information generation unit 127B determines that the first vehicle belongs to the first vehicle group, the display information generation unit 127B generates presentation information for presenting information related to the first vehicle to the user.

  When the display information generation unit 127B determines that the first vehicle does not belong to the first vehicle group, the required fee calculation unit 123B determines the fee for all vehicles based on the vehicle information and the dispatch request information. A second parameter for is calculated. The required fee calculation unit 123B moves the vehicle based on the first fee structure information indicating the first fee structure and the second fee structure information indicating the second fee structure for all the vehicles. The required fee is calculated as the second parameter. The first fee structure information indicates the first fee structure for the unmanned vehicle shown in FIG. 6, and the second fee structure information indicates the second fee structure for the driver vehicle shown in FIG.

  The minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125B specifies, among all the vehicles, a second vehicle in which the second parameter satisfies the second condition. The minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125B specifies the vehicle having the lowest required fee among all the vehicles as the second vehicle.

  The display information generation unit 127B determines whether or not the first vehicle and the second vehicle are the same. When the first vehicle and the second vehicle are the same, the display information generation unit 127B relates to a vehicle in which the first parameter satisfies the first condition and the second parameter satisfies the second condition. Presentation information for presenting information to the user is generated. Moreover, the display information generation unit 127B displays presentation information for presenting information about each of the first vehicle and the second vehicle to the user when the first vehicle and the second vehicle are not the same. Generate.

  The storage unit 13B is different from the storage unit 13 of the management apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 in a control program storage unit 137B.

  The control program storage unit 137B stores control programs for the required fee calculating unit 123B, the required time calculating unit 124B, the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125B, the minimum required time vehicle specifying unit 126B, and the display information generating unit 127B.

  In the second embodiment, the management device 1B corresponds to an example of a dispatching support device, the required time calculation unit 124B corresponds to an example of a first parameter calculation unit, and the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126B is the first. The required fee calculation unit 123B corresponds to an example of a second parameter calculation unit, the minimum required fee vehicle specification unit 125B corresponds to an example of a second vehicle specification unit, and display information The generation unit 127B corresponds to an example of a determination unit, a first presentation information generation unit, and a second presentation information generation unit.

  Next, the vehicle allocation support method according to the third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart for describing a vehicle allocation support process of the management device according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure.

  Since the process of step S141 shown in FIG. 28 is the same as the process of step S1 shown in FIG. 11, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Next, the required time calculation unit 124B calculates the required time for all the vehicles based on a predetermined required time calculation rule (step S142). The predetermined required time calculation rule is stored in advance in the control program storage unit 137B.

  Next, the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126B compares the required times of all the vehicles calculated by the required time calculating unit 124B, and specifies the shortest required time vehicle having the shortest required time (step S143).

  Next, the display information generation unit 127B determines whether or not the vehicle having the shortest required time belongs to the first vehicle group (step S144). The first vehicle group is a group to which unmanned vehicles belong, and the second vehicle group is a group to which driver vehicles belong. The charge system of the first vehicle group is cheaper than the charge system of the second group.

  If it is determined that the shortest required time vehicle belongs to the first vehicle group (YES in step S144), the display information generating unit 127B determines the shortest required time specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126B. Display information about the vehicle is generated (step S145). That is, when the shortest required time vehicle is an unmanned vehicle, the shortest required time can be regarded as the shortest distance. Therefore, the unmanned vehicle that is the shortest required time vehicle is also the minimum required fee vehicle. That is, the shortest required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are the same unmanned vehicle.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the shortest required time vehicle does not belong to the first vehicle group, that is, when it is determined that the shortest required time vehicle belongs to the second vehicle group (NO in step S144), The required fee calculation unit 123B calculates the required fee for all vehicles based on the first fee structure information and the second fee structure information stored in the fee structure information storage unit 135 (step S146). The required fee calculation unit 123B calculates a required fee based on the first fee structure information for vehicles belonging to the first vehicle group, and uses the second fee structure information for vehicles belonging to the second vehicle group. Calculate the required fee based on this. The required fee calculation unit 123B generates a route through which the vehicle moves from the current position of the vehicle to a dismounting position at which the user gets off the dispatched vehicle via a boarding position at which the user gets on the dispatching vehicle. The required fee is calculated using the distance of the route and the first fee structure information or the second fee structure information.

  Next, the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125B compares the required fees of all the vehicles calculated by the required fee calculating unit 123B, and specifies the lowest required fee vehicle having the lowest required fee (step S147).

  Next, the display information generation unit 127B determines whether or not the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126B is the same as the minimum required charge vehicle specified by the minimum required charge vehicle specifying unit 125B. Is determined (step S148). When the minimum required time vehicle is a driver vehicle, the minimum required fee vehicle is either an unmanned vehicle or a driver vehicle. This is because the charge system is different between the first vehicle group and the second vehicle group. When the minimum required fee vehicle is a driver vehicle, the shortest required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are the same driver vehicle.

  Here, when it is determined that the minimum required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are the same (YES in step S148), the display information generation unit 127B is the minimum required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle. Display information relating to a certain vehicle is generated (step S149). In this case, the minimum required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are the driver vehicles specified from the second vehicle group.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the shortest required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle are not the same (NO in step S148), the display information generating unit 127B displays information regarding each of the shortest required time vehicle and the minimum required fee vehicle. Is generated (step S150). In this case, the minimum required time vehicle is a driver vehicle, and the minimum required fee vehicle is an unmanned vehicle.

  The process in step S151 shown in FIG. 28 is the same as the process in step S10 shown in FIG.

  In step S148 of FIG. 28, the display information generating unit 127B includes the vehicle group to which the shortest required time vehicle specified by the shortest required time vehicle specifying unit 126B belongs, and the minimum required fee specified by the minimum required fee vehicle specifying unit 125B. It may be determined whether or not the vehicle group to which the toll vehicle belongs is the same.

  In the third embodiment, when the minimum required time vehicle belongs to the first vehicle group, the minimum required fee vehicle is the same as the minimum required time vehicle without specifying the minimum required fee vehicle.
