A system for visualizing the delivery status of parcels by the vehicle based on the positional information of the vehicle and the delivery plan of parcels has been developed, for the worker to know the movement of a parcel or a vehicle in a series of delivery tasks from the collecting packages from the delivery source to delivering them to the delivery destination by vehicle.
The collection and delivery service management device described in PTL 1 displays a collection and delivery route and a current position of a collection and delivery worker on a map based on a collection and delivery plan and the current position of the collection and delivery worker. In this collection and delivery service management device, points of collection or delivery of parcels are indicated by icons, and the points are connected by lines to indicate a collection and delivery route. The icon indicates the order of visiting. Thus, the user who sees the display on which the map is displayed can understand the order of visiting each point. However, in PTL 1, a case where the worker visits the same point a plurality of times for collection or delivery is not assumed. Therefore, for example, when the user visits the same point as the second and sixth destination, only one order of visiting may be displayed and the other orders of visiting may not be displayed. As described above, the conventional collection and delivery service management device has a problem that the number of visits to each point cannot be intuitively known.

Therefore, when the vehicle visits the same point a plurality of times, the user can check the scheduled arrival time of the plurality of times at the point.
According to this configuration, the user can know the number of scheduled visits to the point by viewing the figure.
According to this configuration, the user can intuitively know the number of scheduled visits from the display form of the figure. For example, when the size of the figure is larger as the number of scheduled visits is larger, the number of scheduled visits can be intuitively known from the size of the figure.
According to this configuration, the scheduled arrival time at the point corresponding to the figure is displayed in association with the figure. Therefore, when the vehicle visits the same point a plurality of times, the user can check the scheduled arrival time of the plurality of times at the point.
According to this configuration, a figure indicating the scheduled arrival time in association with the time axis is displayed at a position corresponding to the point. Therefore, the user can know the scheduled arrival time and the number of scheduled visits of each point.

The following delivery plan is shown in traveling plan information 52 shown in
As described above with reference to
Referring again to
Traveling record information generating unit 57 generates traveling record information 53 indicating the traveling record of vehicle 7 based on the traveling plan information acquired by traveling plan information acquiring unit 55 and the probe information acquired by probe information acquiring unit 56. That is, traveling record information generating unit 57 determines the number of visits completed (the number of visit records) to each point indicated in the traveling plan information based on the probe information.
For example, the latitude and longitude of each point are determined in advance. Further, for example, a circular area around each point is set as the geofence.
Traveling record information generating unit 57 determines, for each point, the time at which vehicle 7 moves from the outside of the geofence of the point to the inside of the geofence and the traveling speed first becomes zero in the geofence, as the actual arrival time at the point. When vehicle 7 moves from the inside of the geofence to the outside of the geofence, traveling record information generating unit 57 determines that the time at which the traveling speed finally becomes zero in the geofence is the actual departure time from the point. The traveling speed is calculated based on the probe information. When the probe information includes information on the traveling speed, the actual arrival time and the actual departure time may be determined using the information. The shape of the geofence is not limited to a circle, and may be other shapes such as an ellipse and a polygon.
Traveling record information generating unit 57 determines the number of visits completed to each point based on the determined actual arrival time at each point and actual departure time for each point. For example, traveling record information generating unit 57 may determine the number of actual arrival times determined for each point as the number of visits completed to the point. Further, when the actual arrival time at the second point to be visited after the first point is after the actual departure time from an arbitrary first point indicated in traveling plan information 52, traveling record information generating unit 57 may determine that vehicle 7 has visited the second point and may determine the number of visits completed to the second point.
Traveling record information generating unit 57 stores traveling record information 53 indicating the determined number of visits completed to each point in memory 42.
Display data generating unit 58 generates display data to be displayed on the display devices of parcel owner terminal 2, manager terminal 5, and driver terminal 6, and transmits the generated display data to each terminal via communication I/F unit 40. Each terminal receives the display data, generates a display based on the display data, and causes the display device of the terminal to display the generated display.
The display includes map 60, circle 70 is arranged at a position corresponding to the base on map 60, and a figure set 71A to a figure set 71E which are the superimposing information sets are arranged in a superimposed manner at positions corresponding to the point A to the point E on map 60. The superimposing information set is information that has a display form. The display form may identify a point for which a number of scheduled visits of vehicle 7 is one and a point for which the number of scheduled visits of vehicle 7 is plural. Hereinafter, figure sets 71A to 71E are also referred to as figure sets 71 when they are not distinguished from each other. The moving direction of vehicle 7 from the base to the point and the moving direction of vehicle 7 from the point to another point are indicated by arrows.
Figure set 71 will be described. Figure set 71 is an arrangement including one or more column diagrams in the vertical direction, and the number of column diagrams indicates the number of scheduled visits of vehicle 7 to the point where figure set 71 is arranged. For example, figure set 71A is an arrangement including three column diagrams in the vertical direction. In this case, the number of scheduled visits of vehicle 7 to point A is three. Each of figure sets 71B to 71E includes one column diagram. In this case, the number of scheduled visits of vehicle 7 from point B to point E is one in each.
The column diagram has two types of display forms. Here, the number of hatched column diagrams (hereinafter referred to as “hatched figure”) indicates the number of visits completed to the point, and the number of unhatched column diagram (hereinafter referred to as “unhatched figure”) indicates the number of visits not made yet. The number of visits not made yet can be calculated by subtracting the number of visits completed from the number of scheduled visits. Here, figure set 71A includes one hatched figure and two unhatched figures. In this case, the number of visits completed to the point A is one, and the number of visits not made yet is two. It is noted that, each column diagram corresponds to one visit, and column diagrams for earlier order of visiting are arranged at lower positions. That is, in figure set 71A, the column diagrams corresponding to the visiting orders “No. 1”, “No. 4”, and “No. 7” in order from the bottom are arranged.
Figure set 71B includes one hatched figure and does not include an unhatched figure. Therefore, the number of visits completed to the point B is one, and the number of visits not made yet is zero. Each of figure sets 71C to 71E includes one unhatched figure and does not include a hatched figure. Therefore, the number of visits not made yet of each of the points C to E is one, and the number of visits completed is zero. Instead of changing the hatching, the color or pattern of the column diagram may be changed to indicate whether the user has visited the site or not.
The description “n/m” is arranged at the position corresponding to each point. Here, m represents the number of scheduled visits, and n represents the number of visits completed. For example, when “⅓” is described in the point A, the number of scheduled visits and the number of visits completed to the point A are three and one, respectively. When “1/1” is described in the point B, both the number of scheduled visits and the number of visits completed to the point B are one. When “0/1” is described in each of the points C to E, the number of scheduled visits and the number of visits completed from the point C to the point E are one and zero, respectively.
When display data generating unit 58 receives a selection input of any figure set 71 from the manager or the driver, visit record data 72 showing the visit record of the point corresponding to selected figure set 71 are imparted to the display data arranged at the position corresponding to figure set 71. The selection of figure set 71 is performed by, for example, clicking or tapping figure set 71 on the display. Visit record data 72 includes the same number of subdata as the number of scheduled visits, and each subdata includes the order of visiting indicated by a circled number, the scheduled arrival time, and the parcel number (the sum of the number of parcels to be delivered and the number of parcels to be collected). Visit record data 72 displayed when figure set 71A is selected includes three subdata. In the subdata corresponding to the first order of visiting, the scheduled arrival time is 10:00, and the number of parcels is two. In the subdata, the number of parcels to be delivered and the number of parcels to be collected may be displayed separately.
The subdata corresponding to the order of visiting to the points visited and the subdata corresponding to the order of visiting to the points not visited yet are displayed in different display forms. Here, hatching is applied to the former subdata, and hatching is not applied to the latter subdata. For example, according to visit record data 72 shown in
Traveling plan information 52 shown in
Traveling plan information 52 shown in
Traveling plan information acquiring unit 55 reads traveling plan information 52 from memory 42 (step S1).
Probe information acquiring unit 56 receives probe information from vehicle 7 via communication I/F unit 40 (step S2).
Traveling record information generating unit 57 generates traveling record information 53 of vehicle 7 based on traveling plan information 52 and the probe information (step S3).
Display data generating unit 58 determines whether or not a request for display has been received from the terminal via communication I/F unit 40 (step S4). When the request of display has not been received (NO in step S4), the processes in steps S2 and S3 are repeatedly performed.
When the request of display has been received (YES in step S4), display data generating unit 58 generates display data corresponding to the user who has transmitted the request of display, based on traveling plan information 52 and traveling record information 53 (step S6). The user who has transmitted the request of display may be identified by, for example, a user ID included in the request of display or an identifier of the terminal that has transmitted the request of display. When the user is the parcel owner, it is necessary to determine whether the user is in the position of the sender or in the position of the recipient. Therefore, when the user is the parcel owner, information for distinguishing the sender or the recipient is included in the request of display.
Display data generating unit 58 generates display data for display as shown in
As shown in
Display data generating unit 58 transmits the generated display data to the sender of the request of display via communication I/F unit 40 (step S7). The terminal generates a display based on the display data and displays the display on the display device.
Processor 43 determines whether or not the end condition is satisfied (step S8). The end condition is not limited, but for example, the reception of the end instruction of the travel management process may be set as the end condition, or the elapse of a predetermined time after vehicle 7 completes the delivery to all the points may be set as the end condition.
When the end condition is not satisfied (NO in step S8), the processing in step S2 and subsequent steps is repeatedly executed. When the end condition is satisfied (YES in step S8), traveling management device 4 terminates the travel management process.
As described above, according to embodiment 1 of the present disclosure, figure set 71 which it is possible to identify a point for which a number of scheduled visits is one and a point for which the number of scheduled visits is plural, can be displayed at the position corresponding to each point. This allows the user to intuitively know the number of scheduled visits of each point.
The user can intuitively know the number of scheduled visits to each point from the height of figure set 71, and can know the number of scheduled visits to each point in detail by checking the number of column diagrams included in figure set 71.
The user can know the number of visits completed and the number of visits not made yet for each point by checking the number of hatched figures and the number of unhatched figures included in figure set 71.
Since visit record data 72 indicating the visit record to each point is displayed on the display device, the user can know the visit record to each point.
The scheduled arrival time is displayed in visit record data 72. When vehicle 7 visits the same point a plurality of times, the user can check a plurality of the scheduled arrival times at the point.
Parcel owner terminal 2 displays figure set 71 corresponding to the number of scheduled visits to the destination point of the parcel related to the parcel owner. This allows the parcel owner to intuitively know the number of scheduled visits to the parcel destination associated with the parcel owner's own parcel. Further, the privacy of the user other than the parcel owner can be protected.
In the embodiment 1, whether the point has been visited or not is indicated by the display form of the column diagram included in figure set 71. In this modification, the number of column diagrams included in figure set 71 indicates the number of visits not made yet.
Display data generating unit 58 generates display data in which figure set 71 including column diagrams of the same number as the number of visits not made yet in the number of scheduled visits is arranged on map 60 for each point. Thus, the column diagram included in figure set 71 is decreased by one each time the visit to the point is completed.
Figure set 71A including two column diagrams is arranged at the point A. This indicates that the number of visits not made yet to point A (the remaining number of scheduled visits to point A) is two. A circle 70B is arranged at the point B. This indicates that the visit to the point B has been completed and the number of visits not made yet is 0. Figure sets 71C to 71E including one column diagram are arranged at the points C to E, respectively. This indicates that the number of visits not made yet from the point C to the point E is one.
Figure set 71 is changed in the same manner in the display displayed on parcel owner terminal 2 of the sender and the recipient.
When the visit to the point B having the visiting order of “No. 2” is completed in traveling plan information 52, the display displayed on parcel owner terminal 2 of the sender C is the same as that shown in
Figure set 71A including one column diagram is arranged at the point A. This indicates that the number of visits not made yet (the remaining number of scheduled visits) out of the number of scheduled visits for delivery of the parcel to the recipient A is one.
According to this modification, the number of visits not made yet to each point can be intuitively known from the height of figure set 71, and the number of visits not made yet to each point can be known in detail by checking the number of column diagrams included in figure set 71.
In the embodiment 1, figure set 71 represents the number of scheduled visits, the number of visits not made yet, or the number of visits completed to each point. In the embodiment 2, the number of scheduled visits to each point is represented by icon.
The other configuration of traveling management system 1 is the same as that shown in the embodiment 1. Therefore, the detailed description thereof will not be repeated.
The display data for generating a display to be displayed on the terminal, which will be described below, is generated by display data generating unit 58.
The display includes map 60, circle 70 is arranged at a position corresponding to the base on map 60, and an icon 73A to an icon 73E which are the superimposing information sets are arranged at positions corresponding to the point A to the point E on map 60. Hereinafter, when icons 73A to 73E are not distinguished from each other, they are also referred to as icon 73. Other indications are the same as those shown in
An icon 73 is a figure having a predetermined figure. The number of scheduled visits is described in icon 73. In
Icon 73A describes the number of scheduled visits “1” to the point A for delivery of the parcel from the sender C.
Icon 73A indicates the number of scheduled visits “2” to the point A for delivery of the parcel to the recipient A. An icon 73C describes the number of scheduled visits “1” to the point C for delivery of the parcel to the recipient A. Icon 73E describes the number of scheduled visits “1” to the point E for delivery of the parcel to the recipient A.
According to the second embodiment, the user can know the number of scheduled visits of the point indicated by icon 73 by viewing icon 73 in which the number of scheduled visits is described.
The scheduled arrival time is displayed in visit record data 72. Therefore, when vehicle 7 visits the same point a plurality of times, the user can check a plurality of the scheduled arrival times at the point.
In the second embodiment, the number of scheduled visits is described in icon 73. In this modification, the number of scheduled visits is expressed in the display form of icon 73. The display form is, for example, the size of icon 73. For example, icon 73 of a larger size may be arranged for a point having a larger number of scheduled visits.
The number of scheduled visits from point B to point E is one. An icon 74B to an icon 74E respectively arranged at the point B to the point E have the same size corresponding to the number of scheduled visits “1”. The number of scheduled visits to point A is three, which is greater than the number of scheduled visits from point B to point E. An icon 74A arranged at the point A has a size corresponding to the number of scheduled visits “3”, and is larger than the size of icons 74B to 74E.
Icon 73A has a size corresponding to the number of scheduled visits “1” to the point A for delivery of the parcel from the sender C.
The number of scheduled visits to the points C and E for delivery of the parcel to the recipient A is “1”. Icons 74C and 74E have the same size corresponding to the number of scheduled visits “1”. The number of scheduled visits to point A for delivery of the parcel to recipient A is “2”. Icon 74A has a size corresponding to the number of scheduled visits “2”, and is larger than the size of icons 74C and 74E.
According to this modification, the user can intuitively know the number of scheduled visits from the display form of an icon 74. For example, when the size of icon 74 is larger as the number of scheduled visits is larger, the number of scheduled visits can be intuitively known from the size of icon 74.
The display form is not limited to the size of icon 74. For example, the display form may be the color of icon 74. For example, the hue of the color may be closer to red as the number of scheduled visits increases, and may be closer to blue as the number of scheduled visits decreases. The saturation of the color may be increased as the number of scheduled visits increases, and the saturation of the color may be decreased as the number of scheduled visits decreases. The brightness of the color may be increased as the number of scheduled visits increases, and the brightness of the color may be decreased as the number of scheduled visits decreases.
Icon 74 may be hatched in accordance with the number of scheduled visits to indicate the number of scheduled visits.
The number of scheduled visits may be represented by the thickness of the line of the frame of icon 74. For example, the line may be made thicker as the number of scheduled visits is larger.
In the embodiment 1, figure set 71 represents the number of scheduled visits, the number of visits not made yet, or the number of visits completed to each point.
In the third embodiment, a timetable indicating the scheduled arrival time of vehicle 7 in association with the time axis is displayed instead of figure set 71.
The other configuration of traveling management system 1 is the same as that shown in the embodiment 1. Therefore, the detailed description thereof will not be repeated.
Display data generating unit 58 generates display data for generating a display to be displayed on a terminal to be described below.
The display includes map 60, circle 70 is arranged at a position corresponding to the base on map 60, and circle 70A to circle 70E and a timetable 75A to a timetable 75E which are the superimposing information sets are arranged at positions corresponding to the point A to the point E on map 60. Hereinafter, timetables 75A to 75E are also referred to as timetable 75 when they are not distinguished from each other. Other indications are the same as those shown in
A timetable 75 is a figure indicating the scheduled arrival time of vehicle 7 at each point in association with the time axis. The vertical direction of timetable 75 indicates time. In timetable 75, the time has elapsed as the time is displayed at the lower position. Here, timetable 75 indicates information from 8:00 to 18:00, the scheduled arrival time is indicated by a bold line, and the current time is indicated by a dashed line. In timetable 75A, a bold line is drawn at the positions of 10:00, 12:45, and 15:00, and a dashed line is drawn at the position of 11:35. In timetable 75A, the scheduled arrival times at the point A are 10:00, 12:45, and 15:00, and the current time is 11:35. The number of scheduled visits to point A is three times because of the number of bold lines.
In a timetable 75B, the scheduled arrival time at the point B is 11:05, and the current time is 11:35. In a timetable 75C, the scheduled arrival time at the point C is 12:00, and the current time is 11:35. In a timetable 75D, the scheduled arrival time at the point D is 13:30, and the current time is 11:35. In timetable 75E, the scheduled arrival time at the point E is 14:00, and the current time is 11:35.
When display data generating unit 58 receives an input of selecting any of the bold lines from the manager or the driver, visit record data 72 indicating the visit record corresponding to the selected bold line are imparted to the display data arranged at the position corresponding to timetable 75. The selection of the bold line is performed by, for example, clicking or tapping the bold line on the display. For example, when the bold line at the position of 10:00 of timetable 75A is selected, visit record data 72 of the scheduled arrival time is displayed. Visit record data 72 includes order of visiting, scheduled arrival time, and parcel number (the sum of number of parcels to be delivered and number of parcels to be collected), which are indicated by circled numbers. In
In timetable 75A, a bold line is shown at the position of 12:45, which is the scheduled arrival time at point A for delivery of the parcel from sender C.
In timetable 75A, the bold line is shown at the positions of 12:45 and 15:00. These times indicate the scheduled arrival time at point A for delivery of the parcel to recipient A.
