Description

The present invention relates to a resting place information presentation device, a labor management device, a resting place presenting on-vehicle device, a resting place information presenting system, and a resting place presenting program.

For example, companies such as transportation companies and manufacturing companies routinely carry out the business of transporting various types of packages from a starting point to a destination using various types of trucks. In addition, in a company that carries out such transportation business, it is necessary to carry out management for maintaining safe driving conditions of vehicles and labor management for maintaining the health of drivers.

For example, according to the regulations established by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, in long-distance transportation, "a 30-minute break must be secured every four hours of continuous operation." In addition, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Standards for Working Hours and Riding Hours for Drivers of Commercial Vehicles, the driver's restraint time, rest time, maximum driving time, continuous driving time, holiday work, etc. Standards are set.

Therefore, techniques for assisting drivers in safe driving and labor management have been proposed in the past. Patent Literature 1 discloses that a vehicle-mounted device detects a resting position of a vehicle and transmits it to a server. Further, it is disclosed that the vehicle-mounted device receives the area map and notifies the crew of the break point when it is on the route of the area map.

JP 2014-21840 A

However, when a truck or other vehicle is actually traveling along a predetermined route, even if the driver tries to take a break to comply with the regulations on "continuous driving time" and "restricted time," A suitable location may not be found.

In particular, in the case of vehicles such as large trucks and trailers, a large space is required for parking, and even if there is a parking space on the opposite lane side, it is not possible to make a U-turn easily on the road. Difficult to find parking.

Also, in order to comply with regulations such as "restricted time", vehicles may be operated according to an operation plan so as to rest at a pre-designated resting place during a pre-designated time period. However, there are cases in which the vehicle cannot arrive at a specific resting place designated by the operation plan by a predetermined time due to traffic congestion, road construction, or the like. In such a case, the driver needs to search for a different resting place from the map or the like and drive to that place. However, if the space of the resting place that the driver finds by himself is narrow compared to the size of his vehicle or is full, he gives up using the resting place and drives to the original resting place designated by the operation plan. I have no choice but to continue. As a result, a situation occurs in which the driver goes to rest after the "restricted time" of the driver exceeds the regulation value (for example, 13 hours).

In addition, when the technique of Patent Document 1 is adopted, only rest points on the predetermined route are managed. Information cannot be given to the driver. Furthermore, it is not possible to know whether or not there is a space large enough to actually park each vehicle at the resting point.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration example of the vehicle-mounted device 10. As shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle-mounted device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a CPU 11, a speed signal processing unit 12, an engine signal processing unit 13, a GPS receiver 14, an analog signal processing unit 15, an external input processing unit 16, a wide area communication It has a module 17 , a nonvolatile memory 18 , a volatile memory 19 , an SD card 20 , a SW input section 21 and a liquid crystal display section 22 .

The CPU 11 is composed of an integrated circuit having the main functions of a microcomputer. The CPU 11 executes a program prepared in advance to perform processing for realizing various functions required for the vehicle-mounted device 10 depending on the situation.

The speed signal processing unit 12 receives a vehicle speed pulse signal output from the vehicle side, and generates a signal necessary for the CPU 11 to grasp the running speed (vehicle speed: km/h) of the own vehicle.
The engine signal processing unit 13 receives an engine rotation signal output from the vehicle, and generates a signal necessary for the CPU 11 to grasp the rotation speed (rpm) of the engine of the own vehicle.

The GPS receiver 14 can receive radio waves from a plurality of GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites and calculate the latitude/longitude representing the current position of the vehicle based on the time information of the received radio waves.

The analog signal processing unit 15 can receive various analog signals output from, for example, a temperature sensor and generate digital signals that can be processed by the CPU 11 .
The external input processing unit 16 can input a signal such as an image output from an in-vehicle camera (not shown) and give the signal to the CPU 11 . Also, an ignition signal IGN output from the vehicle 51 side is input to the CPU 11 .

The wide area communication module 17 is a module that enables wireless data communication compatible with communication standards such as LTE (Long Term Evolution). The CPU 11 can connect to the wide area network 53 via the antenna 52 by using the wide area communication module 17 .

The nonvolatile memory 18 holds data such as programs, constant data, and tables that are prepared in advance and are necessary for realizing the functions of the vehicle-mounted device 10 . Further, vehicle type information 18 a is held in a predetermined area of the non-volatile memory 18 in this embodiment.

The vehicle type information 18a represents the type of the vehicle 51 on which the vehicle-mounted device 10 is mounted, and is data capable of identifying classifications such as a large-sized truck, a large-sized trailer, a medium-sized truck, and a small-sized truck.

The volatile memory 19 has a storage area used to temporarily store data temporarily used by the CPU 11, image data captured by the vehicle-mounted camera, and the like.
The SD card 20 is detachably attached to a slot of a card reader incorporated in the vehicle-mounted device 10. - 特許庁For example, a crew member of the vehicle 51 can remove the SD card 20 and carry it to transfer data to and from the office PC 70 . The storage area of the SD card 20 is used to hold management information for each crew member, and to store hazard map data representing high-risk locations on the travel route of the vehicle 51, and the like.

The SW (switch) input unit 21 includes a plurality of switches capable of receiving input operations on various buttons located at positions operable by a crew member (driver) sitting in the driver's seat.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) 22 has a screen capable of displaying visible information such as various characters, symbols, numbers, figures, and images under the control of the CPU 11 as needed. The liquid crystal display unit 22 also includes a function of outputting voice for guidance.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing processing of each unit for generating performance data of resting places. The processing of FIG. 3 will be described below.

When the CPU 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 recognizes that the predetermined SD card 20 is attached to the vehicle-mounted device 10, the ignition signal IGN is turned on, and the vehicle 51 has started to move, it is assumed that the vehicle 51 has started operation. (S11). The SD card 20 holds management information such as an ID assigned to each crew member by the company.

After that, the CPU 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 periodically monitors the vehicle speed and the ON/OFF of the ignition signal IGN, for example, to detect the state in which the driver in the own vehicle has started the "rest" and the state in which the "rest" has ended. can.

When a "break" state occurs and ends, the processing of the CPU 11 advances from S12 to S13. Then, the CPU 11 transmits a set of performance data representing the current "break" to the server 60 in S13. The set of performance data transmitted here includes information on the break start time, the latitude/longitude of the break point, the break end time (or the length of the break time), and the vehicle type.

Note that the time such as "rest start time" can be specified based on the current time ascertained by the GPS receiver 14, for example. The latitude/longitude information is the current position calculated by the GPS receiver 14 when the own vehicle is stopped in the "rest" state. The vehicle type information has the same content as the vehicle type information 18 a held by the non-volatile memory 18 .

When the CPU 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 recognizes that the vehicle 51 has started to move after transmitting one set of performance data, it considers that the operation of the vehicle 51 has been restarted (S14).
After that, the CPU 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 can detect the occurrence of "rest" by monitoring the vehicle speed and the ON/OFF state of the ignition signal IGN again. Then, when detecting the occurrence of "rest", the CPU 11 performs the same processing as the above S12 and S13 again.

On the other hand, when the server 60 receives in S21 the set of performance data transmitted by the vehicle-mounted device 10 in S13, it analyzes the contents. That is, the break start time, latitude/longitude, break end time (or break time length), and vehicle type information are extracted, and the details of the break result are grasped.

The server 60 compares the length of the break time associated with the current break with threshold values predetermined in S22 and S24, respectively. If the break time is less than 10 minutes, the process proceeds to S23. In this case, since the break time is too short, the actual result data of this time is not adopted as the actual break result and is treated as being invalidated.

If the break time for the current break is 10 minutes or more and less than 4 hours, the process of the server 60 proceeds from S24 to S25. In this case, the server 60 adopts the actual result data of this time as a possible result of "rest" and registers it in the operation result database 61 in S25.

Also, if the length of the break time for this break is four hours or more, the process of the server 60 proceeds from S24 to S26. In this case, the server 60 adopts the actual result data of this time as a possible result of "rest" and registers it in the operation result database 61 in S26.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of the operation record database 61. As shown in FIG.
In the example shown in FIG. 4, the operation record database 61 holds a plurality of break point record data D01 and D02. Also, each of the resting place performance data D01 and D02 includes data items of data number 61a, latitude 61b, longitude 61c, place name 61d, status 61e, and vehicle type classification 61f.

4, the status 61e of the rest point record data D01 is registered in the operation record database 61 as "rest" and the vehicle type classification 61f as "large". This is because the vehicle type of the specific vehicle 51 in which this break record occurred is a large vehicle, and the content of the vehicle type information 18a held in the nonvolatile memory 18 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 mounted on the vehicle 51 is "large". is meant to be It also means that the length of break time in this break record is 10 minutes or more and less than 4 hours (when performing the processing in FIG. 3).

Further, the resting place record data D02 is registered in the operation record database 61 with the status 61e as "rest" and the vehicle type classification 61f as "large trailer". This is because the vehicle type of the specific vehicle 51 in which this break record occurred is a large trailer, and the content of the vehicle type information 18a held in the non-volatile memory 18 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 mounted on the vehicle 51 is "large trailer. is meant to be Also, it means that the length of break time in this break record is 4 hours or more (when performing the processing of FIG. 3).

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the operation of each part when the advance warning of the continuous running time is issued.

For example, according to the regulations established by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, in long-distance transportation, "a 30-minute break must be secured every four hours of continuous operation." That is, the driver takes a break during long-distance transportation and avoids driving continuously for a long time, thereby facilitating maintenance of a safe driving state.

In order to support compliance with this rule, the rest point information presentation system 100 of FIG. It is possible to guide the place where "rest" is possible for. The operation shown in FIG. 5 will be described below.

The CPU 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 always grasps the length of the continuous driving time after the break occurs (after S14). Then, before the continuous running time reaches four hours, an advance warning of the continuous running time is generated in S15. Specifically, it transmits to the server 60 an advance warning including the current position (latitude/longitude) of the own vehicle, the direction of travel, the average running speed, and the vehicle type of the own vehicle.

Note that the traveling direction of the own vehicle can be specified, for example, based on a change in the current position of the own vehicle. Also, the average running speed can be calculated by averaging the grasped vehicle speed. Information on the vehicle type of the own vehicle can be obtained from the non-volatile memory 18 as vehicle type information 18a.

When the server 60 receives the advance warning of the continuous running time from the vehicle-mounted device 10 of each vehicle 51, based on the information of the current position, traveling direction, average speed, and vehicle type included in the advance warning, the operation record database 61 The optimum resting point is searched and specified from the actual data of the resting place registered in .

Here, the server 60 searches considering the current position of the vehicle, so that a resting point near the current position can be preferentially selected. In addition, by searching in consideration of the traveling direction of the vehicle, it is possible to preferentially select a rest point in a direction in which the vehicle does not need to make a U-turn to reach the rest point. For example, in the case of a large vehicle, it is often difficult to make a U-turn on a general road, so it is desirable to suppress the selection of rest points along the opposite lane. In addition, the server 60 can estimate the estimated time of arrival at each rest point by searching considering the average speed of the vehicle, which is optimal for preventing the continuous running time from exceeding the regulation value. This makes it easier to select suitable resting points.

Also, even if other vehicles have actually used rest points in the past, large vehicles cannot park unless there is a large enough space, so all actual data rest points can actually be used. Do not mean. Therefore, the server 60 can exclude selection of rest points where the vehicle cannot be used by performing a search considering the vehicle type, especially the size, etc. of the vehicle.

In S28, the server 60 transmits the search result of S27 indicating the optimum resting point for the vehicle for which the advance warning of the continuous running time has occurred to the vehicle-mounted device 10 that transmitted the advance warning.
The vehicle-mounted device 10 of the vehicle in which the advance warning of the continuous running time has occurred performs a process PR1 for guiding the vehicle to an appropriate resting point.

That is, the CPU 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 receives the rest point information transmitted from the server 60 in S16, and grasps the place name of the rest point and the distance from the current point to the rest point. Furthermore, the CPU 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 utilizes the screen display and voice output using the liquid crystal display unit 22 to notify the information of the place name of the rest point as the destination and the distance from the current point to the rest point in S17. guide the driver.

In addition, the CPU 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 repeatedly calculates the remaining distance from the current location to the rest point by successively subtracting the increment of the traveling distance of the own vehicle. Then, the process proceeds from S18 to S19. Then, the CPU 11 of the vehicle-mounted device 10 informs the driver that the vehicle has arrived at the intended resting point by using the screen display using the liquid crystal display unit 22 and voice output (S19).

In addition, the server 60 transmits it to office PC70, when the advance warning of continuous driving time is received from the onboard equipment 10. FIG. Also, the office PC 70 can display the received advance warning on the screen. Therefore, the administrator who operates the office PC 70 can confirm the advance warning for each vehicle of the continuous running time by the screen display of the office PC 70 .

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the operation of each part for managing the constraint time.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Standards for Working Hours and Riding Hours for Business Vehicle Drivers, there are standards for driver restraint time, rest time, maximum driving time, continuous driving time, and work on holidays. It is defined.

Therefore, a company that manages the labor of drivers must manage, for example, the "duty time" of each driver on the day not exceeding a reference value (for example, 13 hours or 16 hours). The resting place information presentation system 100 has a function of supporting management of this "restricted time". In other words, the operation shown in FIG. 6 can assist labor management so that the "duty time" of each driver does not exceed the reference value. The operation of FIG. 6 will be described below.

When each crew member (driver of the vehicle) arrives at the office of the company, he or she performs a predetermined attendance procedure. By this procedure, the office PC 70 can grasp the time when each crew member came to work. Then, the office PC 70 transmits to the server 60 in S31 information indicating the time when each crew member came to work.

When the server 60 receives the information of coming to work from the office PC 70 in S41, it starts counting the "duty time" for each crew member in the next S42. Here, the "restricted time" is counted as the elapsed time from the starting time. is detected, the "restricted time" is automatically corrected so as to subtract the current rest time.

The server 60 periodically confirms the "duty time" for each crew member, and sets a predetermined threshold value of "12 hours" and "duty time" that is smaller than a standard value (for example, 13 hours) defined by the rules in S43. Compare with Then, when the "restraint time" reaches "12 hours", the process proceeds to the next step S44.

The server 60 requests the vehicle-mounted device 10 mounted on the vehicle 51 driven by the crew member to transmit information on the current position, traveling direction, average traveling speed, and vehicle type (S44). .

On the other hand, the vehicle-mounted device 10 mounted on each vehicle 51 constantly grasps the operation status such as the current position, traveling direction, average traveling speed, etc. after detecting the start of operation of the own vehicle in S51. Also, the vehicle type of the own vehicle can be grasped from the vehicle type information 18a. Therefore, when receiving the transmission request from the server 60 at S52, the vehicle-mounted device 10 transmits the current location information (latitude/longitude), traveling direction, average running speed, and vehicle type information at S53. .

After receiving the information from the vehicle-mounted device 10 of the request destination in S45, the server 60 searches the operation record database 61 based on the current position, traveling direction, average traveling speed, and vehicle type included in the received information. , information on the optimum resting point (place where rest is possible) is extracted in S46.

Here, the server 60 searches considering the current position of the vehicle, so that a resting point near the current position can be preferentially selected. In addition, by searching in consideration of the traveling direction of the vehicle, it is possible to preferentially select a rest point in a direction in which the vehicle does not need to make a U-turn to reach the rest point. For example, it is difficult for a large vehicle to make a U-turn on a general road, so it is desirable for the server 60 to suppress the selection of rest points that exist along the opposite lane. In addition, the server 60 can estimate the estimated time of arrival at each rest point by searching considering the average speed of the relevant vehicle, and the "restriction time" of the relevant driver exceeds the regulation value. This facilitates the selection of the optimum resting point to prevent

Also, even if other vehicles have actually used rest points in the past, large vehicles cannot park unless there is a large enough space, so all actual data rest points can actually be used. Do not mean. Therefore, the server 60 can eliminate the selection of rest points where the vehicle cannot be used by performing a search considering the vehicle type, especially the size, etc. of the vehicle. In addition, the server 60 preferentially selects a rest point whose status 61e is "rest" in the operation record database 61, thereby selecting a highly convenient place for the driver who needs a long rest. .

In S47, the server 60 transmits information representing the specific rest point selected in S46 to the vehicle-mounted device 10 mounted on the vehicle 51 driven by the crew member.

When receiving the rest point information from the server 60 in S54, the vehicle-mounted device 10 performs the same operation as the process PR1 shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to guide the driver to head to a resting point where he/she can "rest" for a long time before the "restraint time" of the relevant driver exceeds the regulation value.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the details of processing of break performance data.
It is desirable that the performance data of each rest area registered in the operation performance database 61 is reliable and can actually be used by the driver of each vehicle as a parking space for breaks and rests. By executing the processing shown in FIG. 7, for example, by the server 60, the reliability of the performance data of each resting place on the operation performance database 61 can be improved.

In the processing shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that an in-vehicle camera is connected to the in-vehicle device 10 and data of an image taken in front or behind the vehicle can be obtained when the vehicle is in a resting state. . A case where the server 60 executes the processing shown in FIG. 7 will be described below.

For example, the server 60 can acquire the break record data from the vehicle-mounted device 10 in S21 shown in FIG. When receiving this rest record data, the server 60 proceeds to the processing from S101 to S102 in FIG. Then, the server 60 further acquires from the vehicle-mounted device 10 an image captured by the vehicle-mounted camera during the break, analyzes this image in S102, and identifies whether or not the vehicle is parked on the road in S102. In place of the server 60, the vehicle-mounted device 10 may identify whether or not the vehicle is parked on the road.

When the server 60 detects on-street parking, the process proceeds from S103 to S104, and excludes the current break result from the target of the break point. Therefore, when the driver stops the vehicle 51 on the road and takes a rest, the rest point is not registered in the operation record database 61 .

When the server 60 detects that the vehicle is not parked on the street, the process proceeds from S103 to S105. Then, the break record of this time is registered in the operation record database 61 as a break point. In addition, when the break record of the break point having almost the same place is already registered in the operation record database 61, the server 60 collects the break record of the same break point into one and manages the number of times of detection. Of the rest records registered in the operation record database 61, only those for which the number of times of detection is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of times (N times) are treated as valid rest area data.

For example, when the driver takes a break while parked on the road, there is little possibility that the break record will occur repeatedly at the same spot. Therefore, it is possible to exclude resting places for on-street parking from the operation record database 61 by treating only resting records for which the number of times of detection is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of times as valid resting places.

The server 60 refers to the transmission history of rest point information in S106. For example, when the server 60 transmits the information of the break point P1 to a specific vehicle 51 in S28 of FIG. is transmitted, the information of the resting point P1 is acquired in S106. Then, the server 60 identifies whether or not the rest points P1 and P2 match in the next step S107.

If it is detected that the rest points P1 and P2 do not match, the server 60 proceeds from S107 to S108. Then, "1" is added to the number of times of non-use Nz assigned to the information of the rest point P1 transmitted by the server 60 immediately before, and the result is stored in the operation record database 61.例文帳に追加Further, the server 60 compares the non-use count Nz after addition in S108 with a predetermined threshold value Nmax, and proceeds to the processing of S110 when the non-use count Nz exceeds the threshold value Nmax.

In S110, the server 60 invalidates or deletes the content registered in the operation record database 61 for the rest point P1 where the number of times of non-use Nz exceeds the threshold value Nmax.

In other words, if a mismatch occurs in S107, the vehicle does not head to the resting point P1 determined by the server 60 as an appropriate resting place, and the driver rests at another place. There may be reliability issues. Further, if the number of times the same rest point P1 selected by the server 60 is not used for rest exceeds the threshold value Nmax, there is a high possibility that the rest point P1 is inappropriate as a rest point. Exclude from registration. For example, even a parking lot that was available in the past may become unavailable due to various factors. It is highly likely that such a rest point will not be available for rest in the future, so it is desirable to delete it from the registration of the operation record database 61 .

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing details of the processing of break performance data relating to large parking lots.

For example, in the case of using a parking lot such as a relatively large service area, in spite of being a common place, at various rest positions that are close to each other, the actual rest data of each vehicle 51 is stored. There is a high possibility that it will be sent from the device 10 to the server 60 . Therefore, there is a high possibility that the record data of the same resting place will be registered in the operation record database 61 in a state of being duplicated. By the server 60 executing the processing shown in FIG. 8, a large number of performance data of common rest areas are collected into one. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of data in the operation record database 61 and improve the processing efficiency.

The processing of FIG. 8 will be described below.
The server 60 sequentially acquires the position data Px for each of the various rest points registered in the operation record database 61 in S111.

If the position of the position data Px is in the vicinity of a large parking lot registered on a road map or the like, the server 60 compares the range of the area of the corresponding large parking lot with the position data Px in S112. Then, when the position data Px exists within the area of the large parking lot, the processing proceeds from S113 to S114, and the performance data of the corresponding break point and the area of the large parking lot are associated.

When the processing of S111 to S114 is completed for all rest areas on the operation record database 61, the server 60 proceeds to the processing of S115 to S116. Then, the server 60 combines the performance data of the plurality of rest points associated with the common large parking lot into one and re-registers it in the operation performance database 61 .

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified, improved, etc. as appropriate. In addition, the material, shape, size, number, location, etc. of each component in the above-described embodiment are arbitrary and not limited as long as the present invention can be achieved.

For example, in the rest area information presentation system 100 shown in FIG. For example, the SD card 20 can be used and placed on the vehicle-mounted device 10 . If this database is on the SD card 20, the vehicle-mounted device 10 can operate independently without communicating with the server 60 by installing a function (S27) for searching the operation record database on the vehicle-mounted device 10 side. You can present information about rest areas to the driver.
