DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a taxi operating data collecting apparatus for collecting data on taxi operating conditions in a time series for each business.

[0002]

2. Description of the Prior Art FIG.
Indicates a system configuration connected to the taxi meter 30. Taxi meter 10 includes pick-up, rental, payment,
There is a tariff such as a surcharge or an empty car, and the boarding fee is calculated based on a fare system predetermined from the traveling distance and time of the vehicle in accordance with the pressed tariff and displayed on the display.

[0003] In addition to the calculation and display of fares, the taxi meter also includes, for example, the number of business hours, the number of business hours, the business mileage, the total mileage, the number of times of pick-up, the vacant distance, the pick-up mileage, The cumulative total, running time, business running time, business hours, and the like are integrated and recorded as operation data.

As shown in FIG. 9, the taxi meter 30 and the taxi operation data collection device 10 output an actual vehicle signal when a taxi for taxi pickup, taxi, and payment are depressed, and an empty car tariff is depressed. In this case, they are connected by a signal line for transmitting an empty vehicle signal, a signal line for transmitting data collected by a taxi meter, and a signal line for requesting data transfer from a taxi operation data collection device.

The taxi meter 30 performs the operation shown in FIG. That is, in the process S60, it is determined whether the pressed state of the tariff is the empty state or the actual vehicle state,
If the vehicle is empty, the process proceeds to step S61 to transmit an empty signal on the signal line. In the process S62, it is determined whether the empty vehicle determined to be empty in the process S60 has been changed from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle and becomes an empty vehicle, or whether the empty vehicle is an ongoing empty vehicle. If it becomes, the process moves to step S63.

In the process S63, the collected operation data described in FIG. 11 is transmitted to the signal line, and the integrated fare transferred to the process S64 is reset. When the fare is reset to zero, the displayed fare also displays zero. When it is determined in step S62 that the empty vehicle is continuing, the process proceeds to step S65 to collect the operation data of the empty vehicle. That is, measurement and collection processing such as total running distance, empty vehicle distance, and running time shown in FIG. 11 is performed.

In step S60, if the vehicle is a real vehicle, step S6
Then, the process goes to 6 to transmit an actual vehicle signal from the signal line. Processing S6
In step S7, it is determined whether the actual vehicle determined to be an actual vehicle in step S60 has changed from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle and has become an actual vehicle, or whether the actual vehicle is an actual vehicle that is continuing. If the actual vehicle is continuing, the process proceeds to step S69.

In step S68, the recorded value of the number of sales is incremented by one as described with reference to FIG. In step S69, a fee corresponding to the depressed tariff is calculated, and the result is displayed on the display unit. In step S60, operation data in the actual vehicle state is collected. That is, the measurement and collection processing of the number of times thereafter, the business travel distance, the number of pick-up times, the number of pick-up travel distances, the total of the fare, the running time, the business running time, and the total of the business hours shown in FIG.

In step S71, it is determined whether or not a data transfer request signal has been transferred from the data request signal line. If the determination is YES, the process moves to step S72, where data is collected and recorded on the signal line as shown in FIG. Send data. Also,
The taxi operation data collection device 10 collects data other than the operation data collected by the taxi meter, for example, data such as the maximum vehicle speed during business hours, and transmits the empty signal when the actual vehicle signal is transmitted from the signal line. During this time period, data such as the maximum vehicle speed when the vehicle is empty is collected.

[0010] In the taxi operation data collection device,
When the signal transferred from the signal line changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle (or from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle), it is determined that one business operation has ended, and the operation data collected by the taxi meter and the operation collected by the taxi operation data collection device Data is recorded on a magnetic card as shown in FIG.

FIG. 12A shows a specific example of recording on a magnetic card. Management data, warehousing data and the like are recorded at address 0, and time-series data for every business except address 1 is shown. The data is recorded. FIG. 12B is still a specific example of the time-series data, and is composed of data collected and transferred by a taxi meter, the maximum speed of an actual vehicle, the maximum speed of an empty vehicle, the time of recording, and the like.

[0012]

As described above, the conventional taxi operation data collection device measures and collects data of the actual vehicle state while the actual vehicle signal is being transmitted from the taxi meter, and transmits the empty vehicle signal. During the period when the vehicle is empty, data is collected and collected.
Time-series operation data was recorded on magnetic cards after the business was closed.

As shown in FIG. 9, an actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal transmitted from the taxi meter transmits "0" to the transistor T1 when the vehicle is in the actual vehicle state and " ₁ " when the vehicle is in the empty vehicle state. As shown in FIG. 13, the taxi operation data collection device determines that the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal level of the signal line is "H", that the vehicle is an actual vehicle, and that "L", that the vehicle is empty.

Therefore, for example, when a cell motor for starting an engine in an actual vehicle is rotated, a larger current flows through the cell motor than the battery, and the battery voltage drops significantly.
Vehicle / unladen signal voltage changes as shown in the time t = t ₃ ~t ₄ of Figure 13. Thus actual vehicle / unladen signal varies, taxi operation data collection device, the time t ₃ ~t ₄
It is determined that the vehicle is in an empty state even though the period is in an actual vehicle state, and the operation data is measured and collected.

At t = t ₃ , the vehicle changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle, and it is considered that one business has ended, and an erroneous record is recorded on the magnetic card. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a taxi operation data collection device improved to record correct operation data without errors.

[0016]

Means adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems will be described. Before describing means for solving the problems, the principle of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The first means is that, as described with reference to FIG. 10, in the taxi meter, when the tariff is empty, the charge (ride) is 0, and when the tariff is in the actual vehicle state , the fare is a value other than 0 which is integrated. Use Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8 (A) and (B), requests transfer of the fee data to the taxi meter when vehicle / unladen signal goes unladen than vehicle at time t = t _3, the request If the toll data value transferred in step (1) is 0, it is determined that the vehicle has changed from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle. Therefore, t
= Without _{t 3} the recording of data, _{t = t} 3 ~t ₄ is to take place by measuring the collection of operational data as vehicle state.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the time t =
Sometimes t ₈ ~t ₉ in such a noise or the like is mixed, so that normal data can be collected and recorded even if such occurs, vehicle / unladen signal changes in the actual vehicle from the unladen At times, it also requests the taxi meter to transfer the toll data.

Therefore, the toll data transferred at t = t ₈ becomes 0, and it is determined that the vehicle is empty. Also it is determined that the unladen state even t = t _9, but recorded in the operational data since t = t ₉ earlier even is unladen state is not performed.
The second means is that, in the taxi meter, as described in FIG. 10, when the tariff changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, the number of business hours is incremented by one.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
Each time the empty signal changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, the taxi meter requests business count data. Further, every time the vehicle changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle, the operation data is recorded. If the number of business transfers transferred in response to the transfer request when the vehicle is changed from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle matches the previous business number, it can be determined that the vehicle is empty, and if it does not match, it can be determined that the vehicle is an actual vehicle.

Therefore, at time t = t ₄ in FIG. 8C, the number of business matches, so the data recorded at t = t ₃ is discarded, and the data collected at time t = t _{3 to} t ₄ is It is included in the data of the actual vehicle condition. That is, it is assumed that the actual vehicle is continuing. Next, the means employed by the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a basic configuration diagram of the present invention.

In the first means, it is determined whether or not a taxi vehicle is operating based on the actual / empty signal output from the taxi meter, and toll data and the like obtained from the taxi meter are recorded for each business. In the taxi operation data collection device recorded in a memory, a data transfer request for requesting the taxi meter to transfer toll data every time the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle or from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle. Means 1 and an actual empty determining means 2 for determining whether the taxi is empty or in an actual vehicle state based on the toll data transferred from the taxi meter in response to the request from the data transfer requesting means 1.

A request for the transfer of toll data by the data transfer request means 1 is made every time the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle. If the data value of the toll data transferred from the taxi meter is not 0, it is determined that the vehicle is in the actual vehicle state.

Further, a request for transfer of toll data by the data transfer request means 1 is requested every time the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, and the determination by the actual empty determination means 2 is made. When the data value of the toll data transferred from the taxi meter is 0, it is determined that the vehicle is empty.

When the actual / empty vehicle signal from the taxi meter changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle, when the actual empty determination means 2 determines that the vehicle is empty, operation data is recorded in the recording memory. Also, when the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle,
The operation data is recorded in the recording memory when it is determined that the actual empty state determining means 2 has changed from the actual vehicle state to the empty state.

When the actual / empty vehicle signal from the taxi meter changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, when the actual sky determination means 2 determines that the vehicle is in an actual vehicle state, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory. When the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle,
The operation data is recorded in the recording memory when it is determined that the actual empty state determining means 2 has changed from the empty state to the actual vehicle state.

In the second means, it is determined whether or not the taxi vehicle is open based on the actual vehicle / empty signal output from the taxi meter, and the toll data and the like obtained from the taxi meter are used for each business. In the taxi operation data collection device recorded in the recording memory, the data requesting the taxi meter to transfer the number of business times each time the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle and from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle The transfer request means 3 determines whether the taxi is vacant or actual based on the difference between the number of business transfers from the taxi meter and the number of previous transfers in response to the request from the data transfer request means 1. Actual sky determining means 4 for performing the operation.

Further, the judgment by the actual / empty judgment means 4 is based on the fact that the actual vehicle / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle and the number of business operations transferred from the taxi meter and the previous actual vehicle changes to the empty vehicle. When the number of business transfers transferred to the vehicle matches, the actual vehicle state is determined to be continuous during the period from the time when the actual vehicle changed to an empty vehicle to the time when the current vehicle changed to an empty vehicle, and when the number of business does not match, the actual vehicle is used. It is determined that the state has changed.

When the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal from the taxi meter changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle, operation data is recorded in the recording memory. When the next actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, the actual empty vehicle judgment is made. When the means 4 determines that the actual vehicle state is continuing, the previous operation data recorded in the memory is discarded.

When the actual / empty vehicle signal from the taxi meter changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory when the actual empty judgment means 4 judges that the actual vehicle state has changed. Let it.

[0031]

In the first means, the data transfer request means 1
Requests the taxi meter to transfer toll data every time the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle or from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle.

The actual / empty determining means 2 is a data transfer requesting means 1
It is determined from the toll data transferred from the taxi meter in response to the request that the taxi is empty or actual. Further, the determination by the actual / empty determination means 2 is made by requesting the data transfer request means 1 to request a transfer of toll data each time the actual / empty signal changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle, and the data of the toll data transferred from the taxi meter. When the value is not 0, it is determined that the vehicle is in the actual vehicle state.

The judgment by the actual sky judgment means 2 is based on the actual vehicle /
Each time the empty signal changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, a request for transfer of toll data is requested by the data transfer requesting means 1. When the data value of the toll data transferred from the taxi meter is not 0, it is determined that the vehicle is empty. In addition, when the actual / empty vehicle signal changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle and the actual sky determination means 2 determines that the vehicle is empty, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory.

When the actual / empty vehicle signal changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle, the actual empty judgment means 2 also causes the recording memory to record the operation data when it is judged that the actual vehicle state has changed to the empty vehicle state. I do. Further, when the actual / empty vehicle signal changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle and the actual sky determination means 2 determines that the vehicle is in the actual vehicle state, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory.

When the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, the determination by the actual empty determining means 2 is made to record the operation data in the recording memory when it is determined that the vehicle has changed from the empty vehicle state to the actual vehicle state. I do. Further, in the second means, the data transfer request means 3 requests the taxi meter to transfer the number of times of operation to the taxi meter every time the actual vehicle / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle and from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle. I do.

The real / empty determining means 4 is a data transfer requesting means 3
It is determined from the difference between the number of business operations transferred from the taxi meter in response to the request and the number of business operations previously transmitted from the taxi meter whether the taxi is vacant but in an actual vehicle. The determination by the actual / empty determination means 4 is based on the fact that the number of business transfers from the taxi meter when the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle coincides with the number of business transfers transmitted when the previous actual vehicle changes to an empty vehicle. At the time, the actual vehicle state is determined to be ongoing during the period from the time when the vehicle was changed to an empty vehicle to the empty vehicle from the previous vehicle to the time when the vehicle was changed to the actual vehicle from the previous vehicle, and when the number of business hours did not match, it was determined that the actual vehicle state was changed I do.

When the actual / empty vehicle signal changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory, and when the next actual / empty vehicle signal changes from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle, the judgment of the actual / empty determining means 4 determines the actual vehicle state. If it is determined that the operation data is being continued, the previously recorded operation data recorded in the recording memory is discarded.

When the actual / empty vehicle signal changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle and the actual empty determination means 4 also determines that the actual vehicle state has been changed, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory. As described above, in the first means, every time the actual vehicle / vacant vehicle signal from the taxi meter changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle or from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle, the taxi meter requests the taxi meter to transmit the toll data and is transmitted. If the data value of the toll data is 0, it is determined that the vehicle is empty, and if the data value is other than 0, it is determined that the vehicle is in the actual vehicle condition. Can be measured and collected.

Also, when the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle, the judgment of the actual vehicle is empty, and when the actual vehicle / empty signal changes from the empty vehicle to the empty vehicle, the actual vehicle / empty signal is changed from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle. The operation data is recorded in the recording memory when it is determined that the actual vehicle is empty when it is determined that the vehicle is empty, so that erroneous business records can be eliminated.

In the second means, every time the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from an empty vehicle to an empty vehicle or from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, the taxi meter requests the taxi meter to transfer the number of business times. The actual vehicle state is determined to be ongoing when the number of business transfers transferred from the vehicle and the number of business transfers previously transferred match, and it is determined that the actual vehicle state has been changed when they do not match. Measurement and collection of state data is possible.

When the actual / empty vehicle signal changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory, and when the next actual / empty vehicle signal changes from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle, the determination of the actual vehicle / vacant vehicle is determined to be continued. When this is done, the previously recorded operation data is discarded, so that incorrect business records can be eliminated.

When the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory when the judgment of the actual vehicle is determined to have changed to the actual vehicle state. Is recorded.

The process then proceeds to step S2, and if the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal input from the I / O 18 is an actual vehicle, the process proceeds to step S12.
If the vehicle is empty, the process proceeds to step S3.

In the process S3, the real sky judgment unit 13 performs the process S
Although the empty vehicle determined in step 2 is an empty vehicle that has changed from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle, it is determined whether the empty vehicle is an empty vehicle that is continuing. If the empty vehicle is still empty, the process proceeds to step S12. In the process S4, as described with reference to FIG. 10, when the taxi meter changes the tariff from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle, the operation data shown in FIG. 11 is automatically transferred to the taxi operation data recording device. The operation data is recorded in a memory (not shown).

In step S5, the data transfer request unit 14
Request data transfer to the taxi meter. In step S6, the actual / empty determining unit 13 receives the operation data transferred from the taxi meter in response to the transfer request in step S5, and proceeds to step S6, where the data value of the toll in the transferred operation data is displayed. It is determined whether it is 0 or not, and the determination is YES
In the case of, the process proceeds to step S8, and in the case of NO, the process proceeds to step S10.

In the processing S8, the measurement collecting section 15 executes the processing S

Time series data is created, and the created time series data is recorded in the recording memory 11 by the data writing unit 12.

In the process S9, the real sky judging section 13 sets the flag F1 to 0. In the processing S10, the measurement collection unit 1
Step 5 clears the record of the automatic output data from the taxi meter recorded in the process S4. In processing S11,
The real sky determination unit 13 sets the flag F1 to 1.

In the embodiment, the data transfer is requested in the process S5. However, since the actually necessary data is the charge data, the transfer of the charge data may be requested in the process S5. In the processing S12, the measurement collection unit 15 determines whether or not the flag F1 is 1;
The process proceeds to 14 to perform measurement and collection of data in the actual vehicle, and in the case of NO, proceeds to process S13 to perform measurement and collection of data in the empty vehicle.

That is, the running speed of the vehicle is input from the I / O 21, the optimum speed data during the period when it is determined that the vehicle is empty is recorded in step S13, and the optimum speed data during the period when it is determined that the vehicle is actually running is recorded in step S14. Record the maximum speed. Processing S1
In 5, the print control unit 16 determines whether or not a receipt issue button (not shown) has been pressed. If the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S2; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S16.

In the process S16, a data transfer request is made to the taxi meter, the process proceeds to a process S17, and the data transferred from the taxi meter is received in response to the data transfer request, and the process proceeds to a process S18 in the process S17. The printing unit 17 prints out a receipt based on the received data.

The above operation will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. 8A. When the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle (t = t ₁ , t ₂ , t ₆ ), the operation of the taxi meter is stopped. The transfer of the charge data is requested (S5). It is determined whether or not the data value of the fee data transferred from the taxi meter is 0 (S7), and the determination is YES (t = t,
t ₆₎ in the case of recording in the recording memory 11 that created the operational data of the time series (S8).

If the toll data is not 0 (t = t ₃ ), the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal is empty but the actual state is determined to be the actual vehicle, and the flag F1 is set to 1. Therefore, the time t
= Period t ₃ ~t ₄ is vehicle / unladen signal is a empty car flag F1 is to perform the measurement data collection in the vehicle proceeds to step S14 in step S12 is determined as YES because it is 1.

Next, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG.
The operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 shows the second embodiment.
This corresponds to (B). That is, this is an operation when the taxi meter tariff changes to the actual vehicle state due to superimposition of noise even when the taxi meter is empty at time t = t _{8 to} t ₉ in FIG. 8B.

In FIGS. 5 and 6, processes S1 to S18 are performed.
Is the same as the operation of the first embodiment described with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment, processes S20 to S27 are added. In processing S21, the real sky determination unit 13 performs processing S2
The actual vehicle determined in the above, the actual vehicle changed from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle,
It is determined whether or not the vehicle is an actual vehicle that is being continued. If the vehicle has changed from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, the process proceeds to step S22.

In step S22, the data transfer request unit 14
Requests the taxi meter to transfer data.
In process 23, the actual / empty determination unit 23 receives the data transferred from the taxi meter in response to the transfer request in process S22, and proceeds to process S24 to determine whether the data value of the fee data in the received data is zero. The process proceeds to step S25 to set the flag F2 to 1 if the determination is YES, and proceeds to step S26 to set F2 = 0 if NO.

That is, in the second embodiment, the transfer of the toll data is requested even when the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle. If the data value of the transferred toll data is 0, it is determined that the vehicle is in the empty state. judge. That is, the flag F2 is set to 1
In the case of, the actual vehicle / vacant vehicle signal indicates that the vehicle is an actual vehicle, but the actual taxi meter is in an actual vehicle state.

In step S27, the measurement collection section 15 determines whether or not the flag F2 is 1 when it is determined in step S21 that the vehicle is in the actual vehicle. When the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S27.
Then, the process proceeds to step S13, where the measurement and collection of the empty data are performed. In step S20, the real sky determination unit 13 determines whether or not the flag F2 is 0 if the determination in step S7 is YES. If F2 = 0, the process proceeds to step S8. If NO, the process proceeds to step S8. Move to S10.

The above operation will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. 8B. In the second embodiment, when the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle (t = t ₂ , t ₄ , t)
₈ ) also transfers the charge data, and if the transferred charge data is 0, it is determined that the vehicle is empty (t = t ₈ ) (S24).

Therefore, during the period from t = t _{8 to} t ₉ , the data measurement / collection in the empty vehicle is performed even though the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal is the actual vehicle. At time t = t ₉ , the actual vehicle /
Unladen signal changes unladen than vehicle, albeit at for recording data in the recording memory, t = t ₈ ~t ₉ is unladen state, so that only perform recording when changed from the actual vehicle state to unladen state (Process S20).

In the embodiment, the data is recorded in the recording memory 11 when the vehicle changes from the actual vehicle state to the empty vehicle state. However, the processing S8 is followed by the processing S26, and the processing S10 is performed by the processing S25. Subsequently, the recording may be performed when the state changes from the empty state to the actual vehicle state.

Next, the operation of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the third embodiment corresponds to FIG. In process S31, the real sky determination unit 13
If the actual / empty vehicle signal is empty from I / O18, process S3
The process proceeds to step S38 if the vehicle is an actual vehicle.

In the process S32, the actual / empty determination unit 13 proceeds to the process S33 if the empty vehicle determined to be empty in the process S31 has been changed from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle, and to the empty vehicle which is continuously empty. Move to S37. In step S33, the measurement and collection unit 15 determines whether or not data automatically output from the taxi meter has been received. If the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S34 to instruct the data transfer unit 14 to send the data to the taxi meter. Request data transfer to.

In step S 35, the measurement / collection unit 15 creates time-series data by adding the data measured and collected by the taxi operation data collection device to the data transferred from the taxi meter, and stores the data in the data writing unit 12 in the recording memory 11. Writes.
In step S36, the real-sky determining unit 13 temporarily records the number of business hours in the data transferred from the taxi meter in step S33.

In step S37, the measurement collection unit 15
Performs measurement and collection of empty vehicle data. That is, the maximum speed in the empty state is collected. In processing S38, the actual sky determination unit 1
3 determines whether the actual vehicle that has changed from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle in the actual vehicle in process S30 is an actual vehicle that is being continued from an empty vehicle. If the actual vehicle has changed from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, the process proceeds to step S45. In the case of an actual vehicle, the process proceeds to step S39.

In step S39, the measurement and collection unit 15 performs measurement and collection of data in actual vehicles. In the process S40, the print control unit 16 determines whether or not a receipt issue button (not shown) has been pressed. If the determination is YES, the process proceeds to the process S41 to request the taxi meter to transfer data, and the process S42. Then, the data is received from the taxi meter, and the process proceeds to step S43, in which the printing unit 17 is instructed based on the data received in step S42 to print out the receipt.

In step S45, the data transfer request unit 14
Requests the taxi meter to transfer data, proceeds to step S46, and receives the data transferred from the taxi meter. In step S47, the actual sky determination unit 13 determines whether or not the number of business hours in the data transferred from the taxi meter in step S46 matches the previous number of business hours recorded in step S36. When the determination is NO, that is, when they do not match, the process proceeds to step S50, and when the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S48.

In step S48, the measurement / collection section 15 corrects the in-vehicle data being measured and collected in step S37 to the in-vehicle data being measured and collected in step S39. In step S49, the real-sky determining unit 13 instructs the data writing unit 15 to record the data in the previous recording memory 11 (S3).
5) Discard the record of the time series data.

In the process S50, the real sky judging section 13
By instructing the data writing unit 12 to increment the write address to be recorded in the recording memory 11, the previous recording (S35) is determined. That is, as shown in FIG. 12A, if the write address for recording the time-series data in the recording memory 11 of the data writing unit 12 is now 3, the recording in the processing S35 is performed at the address 3 Is done. However, processing S47
Is YES, the recording of the address 3 is discarded in the processing S49, and the recording is performed again at the address 3 next time.

[0074]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. In the first means, every time the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from an actual vehicle to an empty vehicle or from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle, a request is made to the taxi meter to transfer the toll data. If the value is 0, it is determined that the vehicle is empty, and if it is other than 0, it is determined that the vehicle is in the actual vehicle state. Can be.

Further, when the actual / empty signal from the taxi meter changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle, the judgment of the actual vehicle / empty state is made to be the empty state, when the actual vehicle state changes to the empty state, and when the actual / empty signal changes from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle. The operation data is recorded in the recording memory when it is determined that the actual vehicle is empty when it is determined that the vehicle is empty, so that erroneous business records can be eliminated.

In the second means, the taxi meter requests the taxi meter to transfer the number of times of operation each time the actual vehicle / vacant vehicle signal from the taxi meter changes from an empty vehicle to an empty vehicle or from an empty vehicle to an actual vehicle. The actual vehicle state is determined to be ongoing when the number of business transfers transferred from the vehicle and the number of business transfers previously transferred match, and it is determined that the actual vehicle state has been changed when they do not match. Measurement and collection of state data is possible.

When the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from the actual vehicle to the empty vehicle, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory, and when the next actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle, it is determined that the actual vehicle / vacant vehicle is continuing. When this is done, the previously recorded operation data is discarded, so that incorrect business records can be eliminated.

When the actual vehicle / empty vehicle signal changes from the empty vehicle to the actual vehicle, the operation data is recorded in the recording memory when the judgment of the actual vehicle / vacant vehicle is determined to have changed to the actual vehicle state. Is recorded.
