The purpose is to secure passengers efficiently by enabling direct access to.

First , the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system of the present invention.
System before using the system.
-Customer waiting time grasping method, that is, the taxi passenger waiting time of the present invention
After explaining the grasping method, grasp the taxi passenger waiting time of the present invention
Describe the system. Taxis Kyakumachi time grasping method of the invention is the following method. That is, a taxi is one of a plurality of predetermined taxi stands, and waiting start information in which taxi identification information for identifying the taxi and taxi position information are added to the waiting start signal generated at the start of waiting, and the waiting end is completed. A standby end signal generated at times is transmitted to the taxi center with standby end information in which the taxi identification information and the taxi position information are added, and the taxi center receives the standby start information and the standby end information. When the name of the specific taxi stand identified from the taxi position information that is also added to each of the waiting both information is the same, the waiting start information of the taxi identification information The standby start reception time, which is the reception time, and the reception time of the standby end information, The waiting time is calculated based on the waiting end reception time, and the waiting end reception time and the waiting time are displayed on the taxi center display device in association with the name of the specific taxi stand, and the specific taxi stand is also displayed. This is a method for grasping the waiting time for taxi passengers, which is updated every time the latest waiting time is calculated.

[0006] Figure 2 is a block diagram of taxis Kyakumachi time grasping method of the present invention. Based on Figure 2, the operation and action of the taxis Kyakumachi time grasping method of the present invention. In addition, in the block diagram of this specification, (SA number) represents a block number. In FIG. 2, when a taxi starts waiting at one of a plurality of predetermined taxi stands, the taxi identification information, which is information for identifying the taxi in a waiting start signal generated at the start of the waiting, and the taxi The waiting start information with the taxi position information indicating the existing position of the vehicle is transmitted from the taxi to the taxi center in real time (S
A1). The taxi center receives this (SA2),
This is recorded together with the reception time (SA3). Similarly, when a taxi finishes waiting by placing a passenger on it, the taxi identification information and taxi position information added to the waiting end signal generated at the end of the waiting are sent from the taxi to the taxi center in real time. (SA4), the taxi center receives this (SA5) and records it together with the reception time (SA6).

Next, the taxi center collates each taxi identification information for identifying each taxi included in both the waiting start information and the waiting end information (SA).
7). If the two taxi identification information match, it can be seen that the waiting start information and the waiting end information are both transmitted from the same taxi. If they do not match (SA
8) The waiting start information and the waiting end information are for different taxis, and in this case, the process is stopped at that point (SA13). When both taxi identification information match (SA8), next, the names of both specific taxi stands, which are specified from the respective taxi position information included in both the waiting start information and the waiting end information, are individually determined. ,
The names of both specific taxi stands are collated (S
A9). If the names of the two specific taxi ranks match, it can be seen that the waiting start information and the waiting end information are both transmitted from the taxis of the same specific taxi rank. If they do not match, the waiting start information and the waiting end information are from taxis in different taxi stands, and in this case, the processing is stopped at that point (SA1).
3). If the names of both specific taxi stands match (S
(A10) Next, the waiting time is calculated based on the waiting start reception time which is the reception time of the waiting start information and the waiting end reception time which is the reception time of the waiting end information (SA11). That is, since the standby start information and the standby end information are transmitted from the taxi in real time, the standby start reception time is subtracted from the standby end reception time to obtain the standby time. Corresponding the waiting end reception time and waiting time with the name of the specific taxi stand identified from the taxi position information,
It is displayed on the taxi center display device (SA12). This display is updated for each specific taxi stand each time the latest waiting time is calculated. Based on this display, the taxi center notifies the vacant taxi of the taxi stand where the waiting time is the shortest by using a taxi radio or the like.

In the above, when determining the waiting time, the taxi identification information included in both the waiting start information and the waiting end information and the names of the specific taxi ranks specified from the taxi position information included in both of the waiting information The reason for determining the coincidence is as follows. That is, the number of taxis waiting at a certain taxi stand is not limited to one, and multiple taxis may send information to the taxi center at the same time, and a taxi that once started waiting at a taxi stand. However, the taxi center does not know which taxi from which taxi stand the information sent is because the taxi center may move to another taxi stand without waiting for customers to wait. This is because accurate waiting information cannot be obtained.

According to taxis Kyakumachi time grasping method of the invention, the individual taxi waiting at the taxi rank, the wait start information and standby end information transmitted in real time by receiving taxi center, these two It confirms that the information is from the same taxi at the same taxi stand and calculates the waiting time based on the waiting start reception time and waiting end reception time. Can be grasped in real time. Therefore, the taxi center
It is possible to notify an empty taxi of the taxi stand that has the least waiting time, and the taxi driver can secure customers faster than other taxi stands without relying on experience and intuition. You can know the taxi rank. Alternatively, the taxi center may notify empty taxis of the waiting time information of a plurality of taxi stands, and leave it to the taxi driver to decide which taxi stand to go to. In addition, the taxi center can know the waiting time of the taxi at each taxi stand in real time together with the standby end reception time, so from the time difference between the contact time of the standby time information for the empty taxi and this standby end reception time, You can check the degree of reliability of the waiting time.

[0010] In the taxis Kyakumachi time grasp the method of the present invention, a taxi is only to send the waiting end information and the standby start information to the taxi center, there is no need for individual taxi to calculate the wait time on its own , it simplifies the apparatus comprising in taxis, therefore, if prepared even taxi center facilities, the cost of introducing into the individual a taxi, it is possible to reduce.

[0011] of the above mentioned, taxis Kyakumachi time understanding how the present invention
According to the law, the waiting time and the name of the taxi stand are only displayed on the taxi center display device provided in the taxi center, but this method can be displayed not only in the taxi center but also in each taxi. Conceivable.

[0012] In other words, taxis Kyakumachi time understanding how methods of the present invention
Oite, the standby completion received at time and both the name of the waiting time and the particular taxi stand, and transmits from the taxi center to the taxis, both the waiting time and the standby end received at time to, It is a method for grasping the waiting time of a taxi passenger, which is displayed on the display device in the taxi in association with the name of the specific taxi stand.

[0013] In Fig. 2, a portion surrounded by a dotted line, standby end when receiving time and standby time, and the name of a particular taxi stand, corresponding to the process of displaying on the taxi in the display device. In FIG. 2, the standby end reception time and standby time displayed on the taxi center display device, and the name of the specific taxi stand are transmitted from the taxi center to all taxis (SA14), and each taxi receives this (SA14). SA15). Then, the standby end reception time and the standby time are displayed on the in-cab display device in association with the name of the specific taxi stand (SA16). This display is updated every time the latest waiting time is transmitted from the center to the taxi for each specific taxi stand.

[0014] According to the above method, the waiting ends and the receiver during time <br/> standby time, and the name of a particular taxi stand, because it is displayed on the taxi in the display device provided in every taxi, By looking at this display, an empty taxi driver can know the taxi stand with the least waiting time. Therefore, the taxi driver can know the taxi landing that can secure the passengers surely earlier than other taxi landings without relying on experience and intuition. In addition, since the taxi driver can know the waiting time of a plurality of taxi stands in real time, he / she can select the optimum taxi stand by his / her own judgment in consideration of his / her driving position. Further, a taxi driver, a waiting time for a taxi in each particular taxi stand, can know both real-time and end when receiving time waiting, from the time difference between the standby end when receiving time with the time became vacant space, You can check the degree of reliability of the waiting time.

Next, the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system of the present invention will be explained. Taxis Kyakumachi time grasping system of the present invention is the following system. That is, a standby start in which a taxi identification information identifying the taxi and taxi position information are added to a standby start signal generated when the taxi starts standby at one of a plurality of predetermined taxi stands, and standby start information is generated. Information generating means, standby end information generating means for generating standby end information by adding the taxi identification information and the taxi position information to a standby end signal generated when the taxi ends standby, the standby start information or the standby start information. When the taxi is equipped with standby start end information transmitting means for transmitting the standby end information to the taxi center respectively, and when the standby start information or the standby end information is received, these reception time and Standby start / end information receiving means for recording information, the recorded standby start information and the standby When the taxi identification information added to the completion information matches, and the name of the specific taxi stand specified from the taxi position information also added to the waiting information matches, the waiting A standby time taxi center calculating means for calculating a standby time based on a standby start reception time which is the reception time of the start information and a standby end reception time which is the reception time of the standby end information, the standby end reception time and the standby The time is displayed on the taxi center display device in association with the name of the specific taxi stand, and the taxi center display means updates this display each time the latest waiting time is calculated for each specific taxi stand. Is a taxi passenger waiting time grasping system provided in the taxi center.

[0016] Figure 3 is a block diagram of taxis Kyakumachi time grasping system of the present invention. Based on Figure 3, the configuration and operation of data <br/> taxi Kyakumachi time grasping system of the present invention. The taxi 11a is provided with a waiting start information generating means 21, a waiting end information generating means 22 and a waiting start end information transmitting means 23, and the taxi center 13a is provided with a waiting start end information receiving means 24 and a waiting time taxi center calculating means. 25 and taxi center display means 2
6 is provided.

The waiting start information generating means 21 provided in the taxi 11a sends a waiting start signal 41 generated by a method described later when the taxi 11a starts waiting at one of a plurality of predetermined taxi stands. , Taxi 1
Taxi identification information 44a, which is information for identifying 1a, and taxi position information 43, which is obtained by a method described later and indicates the position where the taxi 11a exists.

Therefore, it has the effects described in the method for ascertaining the waiting time for each taxi passenger.

Next, a method of acquiring taxi position information, a method of generating a taxi standby start signal, and a method used in each of the taxi passenger waiting time grasping systems described above, and
A method of generating the taxi standby end signal will be described.

First, as a method of obtaining taxi position information, the taxi is provided with a plurality of taxi hall display switches corresponding to each taxi hall, and the taxi hall display switch is generated as the taxi location information. A method of using a signal to perform is considered.

In this case, when each taxi hall display switch is turned on, a signal representing the name of the taxi hall corresponding to the switch is output, so that taxi position information can be acquired by a simple device called a switch. The cost of taxi passenger waiting time grasping system can be reduced.

Similarly, as a method of obtaining taxi position information, a method of mounting a GPS device on the taxi and using position information output by the GPS device as the taxi position information can be considered.

Here, the GPS is a global positioning system, and is a positioning system that calculates its own position by calculation based on a signal transmitted by a GPS satellite. In this case, since the GPS is used to acquire the taxi position information, it is not necessary to manually input the position information, and the manual position information input operation can be omitted.

Next, as a method of generating the taxi standby start signal, a method of providing the taxi with a standby start switch and using the signal generated by the standby start switch as the standby start signal can be considered.

In this case, since the standby start signal is output when the standby start switch is turned on, the standby start signal can be generated by a simple device called a switch, and the cost of the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system can be reduced. .

Similarly, as a method of generating a taxi standby start signal, the taxi is provided with side brake operation detection means for detecting the operation of the side brake of the taxi, and the side brake operation is used as the standby start signal. A method using a signal generated by the detecting means is conceivable.

In this case, the standby start signal can be generated simply by operating the side brakes, and the manual standby start signal generating operation can be omitted.

Similarly, as a method of generating a taxi standby start signal, the taxi is provided with a stop time detecting means for detecting a stop of the taxi for a predetermined time, and the stop start signal is used as the stop vehicle. A method using a signal generated by the time detection means is conceivable.

In this case, the standby start signal can be generated only after a certain period of time has elapsed after the vehicle has stopped, and the manual standby start signal generating operation can be omitted as in the above case.

Next, as a method of generating the taxi standby end signal, a method of providing the taxi with a standby end switch and using the signal generated by the standby end switch as the standby end signal can be considered.

In this case, since the standby end signal is output when the standby end switch is turned on, the standby end signal can be generated by a simple device called a switch, and the cost of the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system can be reduced. .

Similarly, as a method of generating a taxi wait end signal, the taxi is equipped with taxi meter mode receiving means for receiving the fare mode of a taximeter provided in the taxi, and the taxi wait signal is used as the wait end signal. A method of using the fare mode signal output from the taximeter mode receiving means can be considered.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As described above, the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, when the taxi 2 waiting for a passenger at the taxi stand 4 puts on a passenger, information indicating the passenger waiting status is displayed. By sending to the taxi center 1, the taxi center 1 grasps the waiting time at each taxi stand 4, informs the waiting time information to the taxis 2 and 3, and the empty taxi 3 has less waiting time for passengers. The purpose is to secure passengers efficiently by going straight to the landing 4. Figure
4 is a block diagram showing the system configuration of the real施例taxi Kyakumachi time grasping system of the present invention.

In FIG. 4 , the taxi passenger waiting time ascertaining system of this embodiment comprises a device provided in the taxi center 80 and a device provided in the taxi 70. In addition, in FIG. 4 , (C) is a taxi center,
Further, (T) indicates that the taxi is equipped. The device of the taxi center 80 is composed of a CPU (C) 81 which is a microcomputer, an IC memory, etc., and a memory (C) 82 which stores data and programs necessary for controlling the device, and a CPU (C) 81 An input control unit (C) 83 that controls the input, an output control unit (C) 84 that controls the output from the CPU (C) 81, and a taxi 70.
And a display (C) 86 for wirelessly communicating with the display (C) 85. Also,
The CPU (C) 81 has a clock function for acquiring time information. The device configuration of the taxi 70 is similar to that of the device of the taxi center 80 described above.
(T) 71, memory (T) 72, input control unit (T) 7
3, the output control unit (T) 74, a transmission / reception unit (T) 75 that wirelessly communicates with the taxi center 80, and a display (T) 76. The function of each unit is the same as each unit of the taxi center 80. is there. In addition, the input control unit (T) 73 includes a standby start SW 77 and a standby end SW 7.
8 and the GPS vehicle-mounted device 79 are connected. GPS
The in-vehicle device 79 is a global positioning system (GPS) described above.
Is a device mounted on the vehicle, and is a device for calculating the location of the vehicle on which the GPS vehicle-mounted device 79 is mounted based on a signal transmitted from a GPS satellite. In this embodiment, it is used for outputting the location information of the taxi 70.

Next, the operation and action of the system of this embodiment will be described. The operation and action of the system of this embodiment are the same as the contents displayed in the block diagram of FIG. 2 described above, and therefore will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4 . However, in FIG. 2, the taxi center display device and the taxi display device are replaced with the display (C) 86 and the display (T) 76, respectively. Further, (SA number) represents the block number in FIG.

When the taxi 70 starts waiting at one of a plurality of predetermined taxi stands, when the driver turns on the waiting start SW 77, a waiting start signal is output,
It is input to the CPU (T) 71 via the input control unit (T) 73. At the same time, the taxi position information output from the in-vehicle GPS device 79 is also sent to the CP via the input control unit (T) 73.
It is input to the U (T) 71. Also, the memory (T) 72
The taxi identification information, which is information for identifying the taxi 70, such as the vehicle number of the taxi 70, is stored in the. The CPU (T) 71 adds the taxi identification information and taxi position information to the standby start signal, and transmits it as standby start information from the transmission / reception unit (T) 75 to the taxi center 80 via the output control unit (T) 74. Yes (SA1). Similarly, the taxi 70 ends the waiting by putting the customer on, and the driver finishes the waiting SW.
When 78 is turned on, a standby end signal is output and the CPU
The (T) 71 adds the taxi identification information and the taxi position information described above to this standby end signal, and transmits it to the taxi center 80 as standby end information (SA4).

In the taxi center 80, when the transmitting / receiving unit (C) 85 receives the standby start information and the standby end information (SA2), (SA5), these information are sent to the CPU via the input control unit (C) 83. While being sent to the (C) 81, the reception time of each information is stored in the memory (C) 82 (SA3), (SA6). Next, each taxi identification information that identifies each taxi included in both the waiting start information and the waiting end information,
Collation is performed to determine whether they match (SA7).
In this way, the determination of whether or not the taxi identification information included in both the waiting start information and the waiting end information is the same does not mean that only one taxi waits at the taxi stand, but multiple taxis may use the same time. Since it is possible to transmit information to the taxi center in the obi, the taxi center cannot obtain accurate waiting information unless it determines which taxi the transmitted information is from. By this collation, if the taxi identification information of both the waiting start information and the waiting end information match (SA8),
Taxi 70 with the same waiting start information and waiting end information
It can be seen that it was sent from. If they do not match (SA8), the waiting start information and the waiting end information are for different taxis, and in this case, the process is stopped at that point (SA13).

If both taxi identification information match, then the names of both specific taxi stands identified from the respective taxi position information contained in both the waiting start information and the waiting end information are determined and collated. Yes (SA
9). The taxi position information is output from the GPS vehicle-mounted device 79 provided in the taxi 70 as described above, but even at the same taxi stand, for example, a taxi waiting at a taxi stand at a large station, such as in front of JR Shin-Osaka Station. May be long, and the taxi position information may be different at the start of waiting and the end of waiting. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5 , the memory (C) 82 stores a table showing the correspondence between the position information output by GPS (GPS position information) and the taxi rank, which is the taxi position information. The name of the specific taxi stand is determined by comparing the GPS position information with the information in this table. Then, it is determined whether the names of the specific taxi stands specified from the taxi position information of both the waiting start information and the waiting end information match. In this way, it is possible for a taxi that once started waiting at a certain taxi stand to move to another taxi stand without waiting for passengers to wait for a match of the names of specific taxi stands. This is because the taxi center cannot obtain accurate waiting information unless it is determined which taxi stop the taxi from which the information sent is. By this collation, if the names of the specific taxi ranks in both the waiting start information and the waiting end information match (SA9), the waiting start information and the waiting end information are both transmitted from the taxi in the same specific taxi rank. I understand. If they do not match (SA9), the waiting start information and the waiting end information are from taxis in different taxi stands, and in this case, the processing is stopped at that point (SA13).

If the names of both taxi ranks match

According to the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system of the present embodiment, the name of the specific taxi stand, the waiting end reception time, and the waiting time are displayed on the display (C) 86 of the taxi center 80 and in all the taxis. Since it is displayed on the display (T) 76 provided in the, the taxi driver who is vacant can see the display to know the taxi stand with the least waiting time. Therefore, the taxi driver can know the taxi landing that can secure the customer surely earlier than other taxi landings without relying on his own experience and intuition. Also,
Since the taxi driver can know the waiting time of the taxi at each specific taxi stand in real time together with the standby end reception time, the reliability of the standby time can be calculated from the time difference between the time when the vehicle is empty and the standby end reception time. You can check the degree of Further, since the taxi driver can know the waiting time of a plurality of taxi stands in real time, he / she can also select the optimum taxi stand in consideration of his / her own driving position and the like.

Further, according to the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system of the present embodiment, the taxi 70 only transmits the waiting start information and the waiting end information to the taxi center 80, and the taxi 70 itself waits for the waiting time. Therefore, the device provided in the taxi 70 can be simplified. Therefore, introduction into individual taxis can be performed relatively easily if only the facilities of the taxi center are prepared.

In the taxi passenger waiting time ascertaining system of the present embodiment described above, each time the latest waiting time is calculated for each taxi stand, the information is provided to the taxi center 80.
Sent to the taxi 70 from the display (T) 76
However, there is also a method in which the information transmitted from the taxi center 80 to the taxi 70 is only the information on the taxi stand where the waiting time is the shortest at that time. In this case, the taxi driver only needs to act in accordance with the information, which has the advantage that unnecessary judgment is not required .

[0049] In the above SL taxi Kyakumachi time grasping system of the present embodiment, the names and waiting the end time of a particular taxi stand and, waiting time, the display of the taxi center 80 (C) of 86 and a taxi 70 Display (T) 76
However, the taxi 70 may not be provided with the display (T) 76 and may be displayed only on the display (C) 86 of the taxi center 80. This eliminates the need for the display (T) 76, the reception function of the transmission / reception unit (T) 75, and the transmission function of the transmission / reception unit (C) 85, thereby reducing the cost of each device. It can be reduced. In this case, from the taxi center 80, by taxi radio etc., for an empty taxi,
It will notify you of the taxi stand with the least waiting time, but this notification will allow the taxi driver to secure the customer surely faster than other taxi stops without relying on the experience and intuition of the taxi driver. You can know the taxi stands available. Further, a method of notifying information of a plurality of landings and allowing a taxi driver to select which taxi landing to go can be considered.

Further, in the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system of the present embodiment, the GPS vehicle-mounted device is used to acquire taxi position information, but instead of this, a plurality of taxi stands corresponding to each taxi stand. A display switch may be used. In this case, the taxi driver manually turns on the taxi stand display switch corresponding to the waiting taxi stand to generate a signal of the corresponding taxi stand as the taxi position information, and the memory of the taxi 70 is stored. The name of the taxi stand corresponding to this signal, which is accommodated in (T) 72, is searched and extracted. In this case, when each taxi hall display switch is turned on, a signal indicating the name of the taxi hall corresponding to the switch is output, so taxi position information can be obtained with a simple device called a switch. The cost of the waiting time grasping system can be reduced.

In the taxi passenger waiting time ascertaining system of the present embodiment, the waiting start signal is generated when the waiting start signal is generated.
Although W77 is used, instead of this, a side brake operation detection switch for detecting the operation of the side brake of the taxi 70 may be used. In this case, when the side brake is pulled, the standby start signal is generated, but when the side brake is pulled, the standby start signal is always generated, so it is necessary to determine the actual standby start signal in combination with the taxi position information. There is. Further, even if the passenger waits for a while and then pulls the side brake, the taxi 70 may gradually move forward in the queue of taxis waiting for passengers, and may generate a waiting start signal many times. Therefore, as the actual standby start signal, it is necessary to select the first standby start signal at the taxi stand in combination with the taxi position information. In the method using the side brake operation detection switch, the standby start signal can be generated only by operating the side brake, so that the manual standby start signal generating operation can be omitted.

Similarly, instead of the standby start SW 77 used to generate the standby start signal, a means for detecting the stop of the taxi 70 for a predetermined time can be used.
For example, a distance pulse generated by a distance pulse generator that is generally provided in a taxi for calculating a taxi charge can be used as an input control unit (T) 7 of the taxi 70.
It is carried out by taking it into the CPU (T) 71 through the No. 3 and measuring the time when the generation of this distance pulse is stopped. In this case, stop and set a predetermined time, for example,
Since the standby start signal is generated every one minute, it is necessary to select the actual standby start signal in combination with the taxi position information, as described above. In the method using the means for detecting the stop of the taxi for a predetermined time,
The standby start signal can be generated only after a lapse of a certain period of time after the vehicle has stopped, and the standby start signal generation operation by manual work can be omitted as described above.

Further, in the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system of the present embodiment, the waiting end signal is generated when the waiting end signal is generated.
Although W78 is used, instead of this, means for detecting the fare mode of the taxi meter, which is generally included in the taxi 70, may be used. This is because, for example, when a taxi rides a customer for business travel, the taxi meter is set to the fare mode, but when the fare mode is set, the fare mode signal output from the taxi meter is set. ,
CPU via the input control unit (T) 73 of the taxi 70
(T) 71 is a method of taking in. In this way, CP
When the output of the wage mode signal is detected by the U (T) 71, it is considered that the standby end signal is generated. In the method using the means for detecting the taxi mileage mode of the taxi meter, the standby end signal can be generated only by setting the taxi meter in the fare mode, and the manual standby end signal generating operation can be omitted.

In the taxi passenger waiting time grasping system of the present embodiment described above, the main problem is to grasp and display the waiting time at each taxi stand, but by using this system, it is more efficient. A system that realizes commercial operation of various taxis is also conceivable. That is, acquired by the position information and the like for outputting the GPS vehicle device location of taxis running in the empty car, and calculates the time required from the presence position of the cab to the movement to a certain taxi rank, the above present It is a system that selects the taxi landing that can secure the customer the fastest in total, together with the waiting time at the particular taxi landing acquired by the example taxi passenger waiting time grasping system. In this case, a method of performing this total treatment at the taxi center and a method of performing this total treatment inside the taxi can be considered. In addition, when calculating the time required to move to a specific taxi stand, a system can be configured in consideration of traffic congestion information by using the VICS system or the like. According to the system that selects the taxi stand that can secure customers as soon as possible in total, an empty taxi driver can realize efficient business operation by going to the designated taxi stand. .
