Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle information management method and system using a mobile network,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a vehicle network (using a recording medium together) which enables integrated management of vehicle information. In addition, the manager and the crew member on the transport vehicle side share the information transmitted from the transport vehicle and / or the information transmitted to the transport vehicle in real time through the wide area network, that is, by sharing the driving / operation information. , Prevention of accidents, reduction of variable costs for operation, and environmental protection, fairness of personnel evaluations, certainty of collection and delivery of cargo, and improvement of efficiency.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a shipping company, it is a corporate social responsibility (safety responsibility, environmental protection responsibility, etc.) how to safely and efficiently manage and operate transport vehicles that travel a number of routes. This is an important issue for meeting the above requirements and reducing variable operating costs (fuel costs, tire wear costs, accident handling costs, etc.) that are directly linked to profits.

Conventionally, as a method of operation management, for example, a method using a GPS (Global Positioning System) and a communication system has been used, and an administrator side grasps position information of a transportation vehicle in real time by using these systems. Then
Vehicles are dispatched based on this information.

In addition, vehicle speed information and engine speed information are obtained from a vehicle-mounted operation recorder (tachometer).
Fuel consumption information is obtained by the so-called full tank method (the amount of refueling when the fuel tank is full and then full), and operation management is performed by combining these information.

By using the GPS and the communication system described above, the position information of the transportation vehicle can be known in real time. However, the vehicle speed information and the engine speed information cannot be obtained unless the transportation vehicle returns because the operation recorder is mounted on the vehicle. Similarly, the fuel consumption information cannot be obtained unless the transport vehicle returns and refuels.

[0006] Then, the transportation vehicle returns, and the driving situation is judged based on the information obtained from the operation recorder and the fuel consumption amount, such as whether the crew member was driving safely or wasting fuel unnecessarily. The result is reflected in the personnel evaluation. For example, when the engine speed is high but the speed is slow and the fuel consumption is high, the following operating conditions are inferred. (1) When operating on an uphill road. (2) When the inter-vehicle distance from the preceding vehicle is short. (When the inter-vehicle distance is short, the gear is set to the low speed side and the engine is operated with the brakes working.) (3) The transmission is not properly operated even on a flat road.

In the case of (1) above, there is no particular problem in operation management, but in the case of (2), there is a problem from the viewpoint of safety (there is wasteful consumption of fuel), and in the case of (3). Is a problem from the viewpoint of wasteful consumption of fuel, that is, variable operation costs.

[0008]

However, even if the operating conditions of the crew member during transportation are as described in (2) and (3) above, those operating conditions are only available after the transport vehicle returns. I can't know. Therefore, it has not been possible to prevent the occurrence of an accident with respect to a transport vehicle that is in operation, or to prevent the waste of fuel consumption.

That is, it is impossible to manage the safety and the management of the variable operating cost in real time, and these management are always delayed. This means that important preventive measures, such as accident prevention and wasteful fuel consumption prevention, can only be reported after an accident has occurred or after the fuel has been consumed.

[0010] Further, the reduction of the variable cost of operation, especially the fuel cost directly leads to a profit. For this reason, it is important to objectively evaluate the crew members who contributed to the reduction and those who do not, and to increase the motivation of the crew members to reduce their expenses.

[0011] For example, when a plurality of crews are driving a transport vehicle, the vehicle often wastes fuel, such as sudden start, excessive speed, and idling while the air conditioner is on during breaks. Crew members who are driving the car should be rated low and those who are driving in the opposite direction should be rated high. In particular, wasteful consumption of fuel
Prevention of waste of natural resources, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, NO _x ,
It is also emphasized from the viewpoint of preventing the generation of harmful substances such as solid suspended matter and protecting the natural environment.

However, it is difficult to specify the relationship between the crew member and the amount of fuel consumed by the conventional fill-up method. Also, from one refueling to the next refueling, even when one crew member is in charge of driving the transport vehicle, there was variation in the refueling amount among the crew members, making it difficult to objectively evaluate the crew members. . Further, in the full tank method, since it is not possible to measure and record the fuel consumption amount in time series, it is impossible to determine what caused the fuel to be wasted (wasted).

[0013] In addition, when the passengers are transported on holidays, the luggage must be loaded. For example, if the transport vehicle is a refrigerated vehicle and the crew fails to manage it properly due to the holidays, If the engine of the refrigerator, which had been stopped for temperature adjustment, was not restarted, the product could rot and suffer great damage.

Further, in the conventional transportation management system, there is no particular limitation in performing the delivery ending operation, and it is left to the crew. Therefore, in an extreme example, when the pickup and delivery of cargo is delayed due to inefficient transportation routes, some crewmembers disguise themselves as delivering undelivered cargo. There was a case where the cargo was reported to the company and delivered the next day, and the shipper later complained. Moreover, there is no end to erroneous delivery where the delivery destination is wrong.

Further, if the transportation route is wasteful as described above, the daily collection and delivery quota may not be achieved. In the conventional transportation management system, the route from one collection / delivery destination to the next collection / delivery destination depends on the memory of the crew, so if the crew with little experience or the route in charge has just changed,
There was a tendency for transportation to be wasteful on the route, such as making a mistake in the route.

In the road transportation management system, unless the administrator knows which one of the general road and the expressway the vehicle is traveling on, it is naturally impossible to manage the operation charge and speed. For example, even if the position information is obtained by GPS, the highway and the general road are usually running in parallel or close to each other, and it is difficult to identify which one is running only by the position information from the GPS.

The inventor of the present invention was conducting research to prevent accidents in driving and operating transport vehicles, reduce variable operating costs, and ensure fairness in personnel evaluation. We paid attention to the fact that it is composed of a driving and operation manager and crew members who are "," and automobiles, which are "things." And driving that is transmitted from a car that is a "thing"
If operation information is shared in real time by the operation / operation manager, who is a person, and the crew, both parties will be able to communicate with each other and both parties will be able to manage operation / operation. The present invention has been completed by further inventing the idea that the reduction of the environmental impact and the fairness of the personnel evaluation can be achieved.

(Object of the Invention) Therefore, the object of the present invention is to
It is to enable integrated management of vehicle information by using a mobile network (using a recording medium together).

By doing so, it is possible to accurately measure the fuel consumption etc. of each crew member while driving,
By properly evaluating the attitudes and driving skills of each crew member for safe driving and energy-saving driving, which are directly linked to profits, and reflecting them in personnel evaluations such as salaries, we aim to raise awareness of crew attitudes toward driving and improvement of driving skills. As a result, it is to reduce the variable cost of operation.

Another object of the present invention is to enable a driving / operation manager and crew to share driving / operation information transmitted from a transportation vehicle or / and information transmitted to a transportation vehicle via a wide area network. By doing so, it is possible for the manager side to grasp the functional state of the transportation vehicle in real time, such as temperature information for refrigerated vehicles and frozen vehicles, door opening / closing information for cash transportation vehicles, etc. ,
It is to be able to deal quickly in case of emergency.

Another object of the present invention is to enable a driving / operation manager and a crew member to share driving / operation information transmitted from a transportation vehicle and / or information transmitted to a transportation vehicle via a wide area network. By doing so, it is possible to prevent fraud, for example, by disguising the cargo that the crew has not delivered as if it had been delivered, reporting it to the company, and delivering it the next day.

Another object of the present invention is to enable a driving / operation manager and a crew member to share driving / operation information transmitted from a transportation vehicle or / and information transmitted to a transportation vehicle via a wide area network. By doing so, it is possible to prevent erroneous delivery in which the delivery destination is wrong.

Another object of the present invention is to enable a driving / operation manager and crew to share driving / operation information transmitted from a transportation vehicle or / and information transmitted to a transportation vehicle via a wide area network. By doing so, even if an inexperienced crew member or a route in charge has just changed, it is possible to carry out efficient transportation without making a mistake in the transportation route.

Another object of the present invention is to enable a driving / operation manager and crew to share driving / operation information transmitted from a transportation vehicle or / and information transmitted to a transportation vehicle via a wide area network. By doing so, it is possible for the administrator to know whether the transport vehicle is traveling on the general road or the highway, so that the operation fee and the speed can be surely controlled. .

(Operation) In the road transportation management system according to the present invention, first, the driving information of the transportation vehicle is detected by the driving information detecting means, and the functional information of the transportation vehicle is detected by the functional information detecting means. Then, based on the detected driving information and function information, the in-vehicle computer performs a predetermined calculation to perform analysis. The vehicle-mounted computer sends the detection information or the analysis information to the manager-side computer via the communication means. The detection information or the analysis information can be sent directly to the administrator's computer, or indirectly via a server via a wide area network such as the Internet.

The information sent to the administrator computer is
It is possible for the administrator to recognize it by the administrator side information display means such as a display. Then, by transmitting the information in real time, when there is a problem in driving such as the speed and fuel efficiency of the transportation vehicle, it is possible to give real-time guidance from the manager side to the crew side.

If the transportation vehicle side is also provided with transportation vehicle side information display means for displaying the detection information or the analysis information, the information can be shared between the crew member side and the manager side. According to this, by checking the information by the crew members, it is possible to raise the awareness of the crew members about safe driving and energy-saving driving, and it is possible to make the operation more efficient by cooperating between the crew members and the manager side. It will be possible.

Further, the vehicle-mounted computer sends the above information and records the information in a recording means such as a recording medium. The crew submits the recording medium to the manager after the operation is completed. The administrator side analyzes the information recorded on the recording medium in more detail by using the administrator computer, etc., and based on the information obtained by the analysis, for more efficient road transportation. Can be managed.

As described above, the driving / operation manager and the crew can share the driving / operation information transmitted from the transportation vehicle or / and the instruction information transmitted to the transportation vehicle in real time through the wide area network. As a result, various actions and effects described above are produced. Furthermore, there are the following actions and effects.

Since the same information can be shared in real time, it becomes possible to communicate the intentions between the driving / operation manager and the crew members, and the shared management of driving / operation can be performed. This will prevent accidents, reduce variable operating costs, protect the environment, and ensure fairness in personnel appraisals to fulfill corporate social responsibility and reduce costs (fuel costs, tire consumption costs, accident processing costs, etc.). Reduction of profits) can be pursued. For example, if you are using an unreasonable engine speed range,
It is possible for both parties to understand that, and by paying attention to each other, it is possible to reduce the toxic components in the exhaust gas and protect the environment.

Even if the computer on the side of the driving / operation manager displays that the vehicle speed is 80 km / h, for example, it can be discriminated whether it is an expressway or a general road by combining it with the position information, and it is appropriate. You can judge whether it is the vehicle speed.
Furthermore, when a crew member takes a nap during long-distance driving, it is necessary to calculate the time required for later operation depending on the parking position and send a wake-up signal at an appropriate time so as not to interfere. In such a case, it is not possible to determine whether or not the vehicle is in a nap based on the GPS-based position information alone. However, by combining the position information and the driving information, for example, when the position does not move and the engine speed is 0, a nap is taken. It is possible to get accurate information such as high possibility and make appropriate contact.

In addition, even if the driver is driving unreasonably,
Since the operation manager can understand, the effect is great, such as being able to call attention by using a wide area network or by calling a mobile phone.

At the time of collecting and delivering the goods at the destination and inputting the completion of the delivery to the computer as information, the position information of the destination stored beforehand is compared with the actual position information of the automobile by GPS. , If the deviation of the position information is within the preset allowable error range, the completion of the pickup and delivery of the cargo is input as information, or the road transportation management system that enables input is If the above conditions are not met, the completion of pickup and delivery cannot be input as information to the computer. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent fraud such as fake delivery or false declaration by a crew member who pretends that the cargo is delivered although it is not actually delivered to the collection destination.

When a package is to be collected and delivered at the collection destination and the completion of the collection is to be input to the computer as information, the identification information of the package and the preset association information between the package and the collection destination are collated to collect the package. If there is no mistake in the place where the cargo is to be picked up and delivered, the completion of the pickup and delivery of the above-mentioned goods is input as information, or the input is made possible. If
It is not possible to input the completion of pickup and delivery to the computer as information. Therefore, for example, it becomes possible to prevent erroneous delivery in which the load is delivered to another collection / delivery destination other than the actual collection / delivery destination.

By collecting and delivering the cargo at the delivery destination and inputting the completion of the delivery to the computer as information, the location information of the delivery destination stored in advance is used to display the next delivery destination from the current location on the display unit of the computer. If the route to the destination is displayed together with the map, you can program the order of the destinations in the most efficient order by linking with the map, for example, by using information on traffic congestion and distance. Since the next collection / delivery destination and the route from the current location to the collection / delivery destination can be visually confirmed, it is difficult to make a mistake in the collection / delivery destination, and efficient transportation without waste becomes possible. The order of the delivery destinations may be programmed in advance as described above, or by inputting the completion of the delivery to a computer at a certain delivery destination, for example, the delivery destination closest to the current location or In some cases, it is programmed to calculate or search and display the most efficient destination in terms of distance in the route to return to work.

When the sensing means senses that the crew has stored or holds the expressway pass ticket in a predetermined means, the administrator is notified that the transport vehicle has moved from the open road to the expressway, and the pass ticket is set. If the sensing means detects that the storage or holding of the vehicle has been released, it informs the administrator that the transport vehicle has exited the highway and moved to the open road. Automatically notify the administrator if the traveling ticket is accommodated or held in a predetermined means such as a container or holder when moving to the expressway, and the accommodation or holding of the passing ticket is released when moving to the general road. You can As a result, the administrator can always identify whether the transport vehicle is running on an open road or an expressway, so that the operation charge and speed can be surely managed. .

It has a card reader 51 for reading the information of item 2. Further, the administrator computer 5 can access the server 4 on the Internet.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a bubble separator arranged in the feed path of the fuel pump. As will be described later, the fuel consumption is measured by the difference between the fuel (light oil) supplied to the fuel injection pump and the fuel returned from the fuel injection pump. However, when the surplus fuel is returned by the fuel injection pump, the fuel may contain bubbles, which makes accurate measurement difficult. Therefore, a bubble separator 19 is provided in the middle of the fuel return pipe to remove bubbles contained in the fuel.

The bubble separator 19 has a casing (or housing) 190. The casing 190 has a fuel inlet 191 on the side, a fuel outlet 192 on the bottom, and a small air outlet 193 on the top. The inside of the casing 190 is divided by a separator 194 into a lower fuel storage chamber 195 and an upper air storage chamber 196. The separator 194 has a required number of air vent holes 1
97 and a guide hole 198e into which a valve rod (needle) 198a of the float 198 described later is inserted and guided. The fuel introduction port 191 is formed to have a size such that the inflowing fuel is larger than the exhausting fuel.

Inside the casing 190, the float 198
Are arranged. As the float 198, a container (bag or the like) in which air is enclosed is used. Above the float 198, a valve rod 1 having a (needle) valve body 198b at its tip.
98a is erected. On the other hand, on the lower side, a valve rod 198c having a valve body 198d at the lower end is vertically installed. Valve seats 192a and 193a are formed at positions where they come into contact with the respective valves.

The bubble separator 19 is configured as described above, and when the fuel containing bubbles flows into the fuel storage chamber 195 from the fuel inlet port 191, the fuel is temporarily stored in the fuel storage chamber 19.
Store in 5. The float 198 is lifted by the fuel that continuously flows in and is stored, and the valve 198d is opened at the fuel outlet 1.
The valve seat 192a of 92 is separated. As a result, the fuel is discharged from the fuel storage chamber 195.

Bubbles contained in the inflowing fuel are separated from the fuel and transferred to the air storage chamber 196 to be stored therein. As the fuel flows in, the float 198 floats up, and the valve 198b contacts the discharge side valve seat to close the air discharge port 193. In that state, the fuel is discharged. With the inflow of fuel, the amount of stored air also increases, and when the pressure in the air storage chamber 196 exceeds a certain level, air pressure is applied to the float 198 and pushes it down. Along with this, the valve 198b moves toward the valve seat 193 on the discharge side.
The air is discharged from the air discharge port 193 apart from a.

The air in the fuel can be separated from the fuel by repeating the above operation. Since the fuel having a certain pressure is discharged from the fuel discharge port 192 by the return pressure of the injection pump, the flow meter can be operated smoothly by this outflow pressure.
