[0038] The special message set is a message set with license plate information.

[0039] The dispatch algorithm dispatches vehicles based on the estimated arrival time of the vehicle, the amount of fuel, the vehicle type and the type of fuel, combined with the current number and type of fuel stations, the number of queues and the amount of fuel at the gas station. Specifically:

[0040] Calculate the estimated arrival time of the vehicle: T = Tc + Dis / Speed,

[0041] Where, T is the estimated arrival time; Tc is the current time, Speed ​​is the current speed of the vehicle; Dis is the relative distance;

[0042]

[0043] d = R·c,

[0044] Among them, φ1 and φ2 represent the latitude of the vehicle and the gas station respectively, Δφ represents the difference between the latitude of the vehicle and the gas station, Δλ is the difference between the longitude of the vehicle and the gas station, R represents the radius of the earth, a and c are intermediate variables; d represents the distance Dis between the vehicle and the gas station;

[0045] Calculate refueling time: T f =Fa / Fr,
