DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] An example of the configuration of a traffic management system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 1. The traffic management system 1 shown in Fig. 1 is a traffic management system operated by a service provider whose clients are businesses that manage the operation of vehicles such as trucks.

[0015] 1 includes a server 80 as an information providing device for managing vehicle operations, a plurality of on-board devices 10 used while mounted on vehicles such as trucks, and a customer PC 30 as a communication terminal. In the operation management system 1, the server 80 collects and stores video data captured by on-board cameras installed in vehicles and collected by the on-board devices 10, in association with accompanying information at the time of capture, and provides the video data and accompanying information to the customer PC 30 in response to a customer's request.

[0016] The customer PC 30 is installed in a designated office to manage each vehicle, driver, work content, etc. The server 80 is equipment on the service provider (support center) side that performs analysis based on vehicle operation information collected from the in-vehicle device 10 and provides various services to customers using the analysis results. The operation management system 1 includes multiple customer PCs 30 and multiple in-vehicle devices 10 installed in multiple customer offices, etc. The in-vehicle device 10 in this embodiment has a drive recorder function and a digital tachograph function.

[0017] In the in-vehicle device 10, vehicle operation information, including video data (image data) captured by the in-vehicle camera while the vehicle is in operation and operation data, which is an example of accompanying information at the time of capture, is recorded on a recording medium 65 such as a memory card. The operation data includes, for example, the vehicle's position, speed, engine RPM, alarm (in the case of a proximity alarm, the ID and location of a nearby beacon), trigger information such as a sharp turn, and is recorded in association with time information indicating the time the video data was captured. The vehicle operation information recorded on the recording medium 65 is read by the customer PC 30, for example, when the vehicle returns to the office after the day's operation is completed. The server 80 accumulates in a database the operation data transmitted from the in-vehicle devices 10 of each vehicle owned by multiple customers. The operation data is transmitted from the in-vehicle device 10 to the server 80 when requested by the customer PC 30, as described below, when requested by the server 80, or when automatic acquisition is set. Furthermore, when creating a video acquisition list, which will be described later, the server 80 acquires the relevant video data and the operation data associated with the video data from the vehicle-mounted device 10, and stores them in the database.

[0018] The vehicle video list stored in the server 80 can be accessed from the customer PC 30. The user can search the recorded data of the vehicle-mounted device 10 on the customer PC 30 to see if there is video data that the user wants to view.

[0019] The customer PC 30 is configured as a general-purpose computer device installed in an office. The customer PC 30 manages the vehicle's operating status, etc. The server 80 analyzes vehicle operation information, including video data and event information, collected by the vehicle-mounted device 10, and provides the information to the customer PC 30. In the example of FIG. 1 , data communication between the vehicle-mounted device 10 and the server 80 is performed via a base station 71. Data communication between the vehicle-mounted device 10 and the customer PC 30 is relayed by the base station 71, the server 80, and the network 70. Wireless communication between the base station 71 and the vehicle-mounted device 10 may be performed via a mobile communication network (cellular network) such as LTE (Long Term Evolution) / 5G (5th Generation) or a wireless LAN (Local Area Network). The network 70 is a network (packet communication network) such as the Internet, and relays data communication between the customer PC 30 and the server 80.

[0020] The vehicle-mounted device 10 is equipped with various interfaces (I / F) 12A, 12B, 13, 14, 16, 19, and 29 to enable input or output of various signals. The speed I / F 12A has a function for inputting a vehicle speed pulse signal output from a vehicle speed sensor 51 mounted on the vehicle side. The engine rotation I / F 12B has a function for inputting an engine rotation pulse signal output from the vehicle side. The external input I / F 13 is used to input various external signals.

[0021] The sensor input I / F 14 is used to input signals from various sensors. In the example of FIG. 1, a G sensor 28 and a gyro sensor 52 are connected to the sensor input I / F 14. The G sensor 28 detects the magnitude of accelerations (front-rear G, right-left G, and up-down G) applied to the vehicle in which the in-vehicle device 10 is mounted, for example, in the front-rear, left-right, and up-down directions of the vehicle. The gyro sensor 52 detects the rotational angular velocities around the pitch axis, yaw axis, and roll axis of the vehicle in which the in-vehicle device 10 is mounted, and outputs signals indicating changes in the pitch angle, yaw angle, and roll angle. Based on the outputs of the gyro sensor 52 and the G sensor 28, the control unit 11 detects a sharp turn of the vehicle.

[0022] The analog input I / F 29 is used to input various analog signals. The camera I / F 16 has a function for connecting the cameras 23A and 23B. That is, the camera I / F 16 has a function for capturing the video signals output by the cameras 23A and 23B, converting them into predetermined digital image data suitable for computer processing, and acquiring video data. The cameras 23A and 23B are imaging devices (imaging units) that capture images of the surroundings of the vehicle. The camera 23A can capture, for example, an image of the driver sitting in the driver's seat of the vehicle, and the camera 23B can capture, for example, road signs (display boards), road markings, etc. on the road that the vehicle has passed. The number of cameras connected to the camera I / F 16 may be one, three, or more.

[0023] The audio I / F 19 has a function of generating a predetermined audio signal that can be used for audio alerts and the like.

[0024] The control unit 11, which realizes the main functions of the vehicle-mounted device 10, is composed of electronic circuits mainly including a processor of a microcomputer (CPU). This microcomputer realizes the control functions of the vehicle-mounted device 10, which will be described later, by executing programs stored in advance in the non-volatile memory 26A or the like.

[0025] The above-mentioned interfaces 12A, 12B, 13, 14, 16, and 29 are connected to the input of the control unit 11. Also, a speaker 20 is connected to the output of the control unit 11 via an audio I / F 19.

[0026] In addition, the recording unit 17, the display unit 27, the power supply unit 25, the communication unit 24, the non-volatile memory 26A, the volatile memory 26B, the card I / F 18, the RTC unit 21, the beacon receiving unit 15, and the GPS receiving unit 9 are connected to the control unit 11.

[0027] The recording unit 17 records vehicle operation information, such as video data output by the cameras 23A and 23B, in a predetermined storage area (recording medium 65). The vehicle operation information will be described in detail later. The display unit 27 can be used to display visible information, such as text necessary for operating the vehicle-mounted device 10, and information to alert the driver regarding driving operations, so that the driver can see it. The power supply unit 25 generates stable power supply based on power supply supplied from the vehicle side, and supplies the generated power supply to each circuit in the vehicle-mounted device 10, including the control unit 11. The communication unit 24 provides a wireless communication function for data communication between the vehicle-mounted device 10 and a base station 71.

[0028] The non-volatile memory 26A is made up of semiconductor memory and stores in advance programs that can be executed by the microcomputer of the control unit 11, various constant data required for control, tables, etc. The volatile memory 26B is used to temporarily store data generated by the control unit 11 during processing, etc.

[0029] A recording medium 65 carried by the driver is removably connected to the card I / F 18. The control unit 11 can read data from the recording medium 65 attached to the card I / F 18, and can also write various data generated by the control unit 11 to the recording medium 65 via the card I / F 18.

[0030] The RTC (real time clock) unit 21 is configured by an integrated circuit having a clock function, that is, the RTC unit 21 can generate information on the current time and grasp elapsed time.

[0031] The beacon receiving unit 15 receives radio waves from beacons located within a predetermined range via the antenna 15a. Beacons include driver beacons, fixed beacons, and mobile beacons. A driver beacon is, for example, a card-type beacon carried by the driver, and emits a beacon signal including a driver ID. When a driver carrying a driver beacon approaches the in-vehicle device 10 (for example, sits in the driver's seat), the control unit 11 automatically recognizes the driver ID and identifies the driver. In other words, when the driver carries a driver beacon that stores his or her driver ID and gets into the driver's seat, the in-vehicle device 10 recognizes the driver ID, making it possible to manage data for each individual driver without requiring the driver to perform any specific operation.

[0032] Fixed beacons are fixedly placed at predetermined locations within a premises, for example, and are used to obtain information indicating the current location of a vehicle. Fixed beacons emit beacon signals containing identification information that specifies the location where they are placed. Mobile beacons are beacons carried by someone other than the driver of the vehicle, such as a worker, and are used to detect when someone approaches the vehicle. Mobile beacons emit beacon signals that contain identification information that specifies an individual, such as a driver ID or worker ID. In addition to using beacons, the control unit 11 may also perform positioning based on signals received by the GPS receiver 9, described below, to obtain information about the current location.

[0033] The GPS receiver 9 receives radio waves from multiple GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites via an antenna 9a. Based on the multiple received signals received by the GPS receiver 9, position information indicating the current position of the vehicle can be calculated and obtained. Furthermore, the position information based on the signals received by the GPS receiver 9 can be used to detect the movement of the vehicle. Furthermore, based on the signals received by the GPS receiver 9, time information can be obtained.

[0034] The customer PC 30 is a PC that runs on a general-purpose operating system. The customer PC 30 can be used as a management device for understanding and managing the vehicle's driving status, operating status, etc. The customer PC 30 has a control unit (CPU) 31, a communication unit 32, a display unit 33, a memory unit 34, a card I / F 35, an operation unit 36, an external I / F 37, and an audio I / F 38.

[0035] The control unit 31 comprehensively controls each unit of the customer PC 30. The communication unit 32 can communicate with the server 80 via the network 70. The display unit 33 can display various information that can be used for operation management of each vehicle. The memory unit 34 can acquire and manage data generated by the vehicle-mounted device 10 installed in each vehicle.

[0036] A recording medium 65 is removably attached to the card I / F 35. The card I / F 35 is used to input various data recorded in the vehicle-mounted device 10 from the recording medium 65. The operation unit 36 ​​has a keyboard, a mouse, etc., and accepts operations from the administrator of the customer PC 30. The external I / F 37 can be connected to external storage devices (not shown) such as an operation data database (DB) and a hazard map database (DB). The audio I / F 38 is connected to a microphone, a speaker, etc.

[0037] The server 80 has a control unit (CPU) 81, a communication unit 82, a storage unit 83, and an external I / F 84. The communication unit 82 communicates with the vehicle-mounted device 10 via the base station 71. The communication unit 82 can also communicate with the customer PC 30 via the network 70. The storage unit 83 is a memory capable of storing various data. The external I / F 84 can be connected to a database (DB) 85, etc. The DB 85 stores accompanying information transmitted from multiple vehicle-mounted devices 10 as a vehicle video list. The DB 85 can store vehicle operation information including video data and accompanying information transmitted from multiple vehicle-mounted devices 10. The DB 85 may also store video data, etc. transmitted from the customer PC 30.

[0038] The control unit 81 controls each unit of the server 80, analyzes vehicle operation data, and stores the analysis results, that is, operational data, in the DB 85 as accompanying information. An example of operational data analysis is shown below. The control unit 81 analyzes the type and number of alarms, and if the number of alarms of the same type exceeds a threshold, displays an increase in the number of alarms in a list or video data. The control unit 81 displays whether the vehicle was traveling forward, backward, or stopped when the alarm was issued. The control unit 81 creates a heat map using the worker's beacon position information, and compares the heat map with the time-series changes in the vehicle's position against the human proximity alarm to determine the positional relationship between the vehicle and the worker at the time of the alarm. The control unit 81 calculates a safety score based on the frequency of dangerous behavior, etc., from an analysis report that analyzes the operation data of each driver (crew member), and can use this score for driver safety education.

[0039] In this embodiment, the control unit 81 of the server 80 is mainly used for the operation described in Fig. 2, as opposed to the above analysis. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the operation management system 1. First, the vehicle-mounted device 10 acquires vehicle operation information including video data (image data) and operation data captured by the cameras 23A and 23B, which are the image capturing units (step S1). The vehicle operation information includes location information corresponding to the vehicle's location acquired by the beacon receiving unit 15, the GPS receiving unit 9, etc.

[0040] The vehicle operation information also includes driver identification information (driver ID) that identifies the driver of the vehicle and traffic regulation information on the roads that the vehicle has passed through. In this example, camera 23A photographs the driver in the driver's seat of the vehicle, thereby identifying the driver using methods such as facial recognition and acquiring the driver identification information. Camera 23B photographs road signs (display boards), road markings, etc. on the roads that the vehicle has passed through, and acquires the traffic regulation information written on the road signs, etc. The traffic regulation information written on the road signs, etc. can be acquired using existing image recognition methods, etc. The traffic regulation information includes various regulations such as speed limits, no lane changes, no turns, and stop signs.

[0041] The vehicle-mounted device 10 transmits the vehicle operation information from the communication unit 24 to the server 80 via the base station 71 (step S2). The transmission can be performed, for example, at predetermined intervals. The server 80 receives the vehicle operation information via the communication unit 82.

[0042] The control unit 81 of the server 80 determines whether a traffic violation has occurred based on the location information corresponding to the vehicle's location included in the vehicle operation information acquired from the in-vehicle device 10 and the traffic regulation information at that location (step S3). The control unit 81 can detect the vehicle's speed at that location, changes in behavior (lane change, development, etc.), etc., from changes in the location information, for example. Therefore, the control unit 81 can compare the vehicle's speed, changes in behavior, etc. with the traffic regulation information at that location to determine whether a traffic violation has occurred.

[0043] If a traffic violation has occurred (step S3; Yes), the control unit 81 generates traffic violation data that links at least the traffic violation corresponding to the traffic regulation information, the vehicle driver identification information, and the location information (step S4). The storage unit 83 may store the generated traffic violation data.

[0044] Meanwhile, the customer PC 30, which is a display device, can request selected traffic violation data, which is traffic violation data selected from a specific viewpoint, from the server 80. The selected traffic violation data is a portion of all traffic violation data stored in the server 80 that is selected by the user operating the customer PC 30 through a specified input using the operation unit 36. Specific examples of selected traffic violation data will be described later.

[0045] While generating and storing the traffic violation data, server 80 determines at any time whether or not there is a request for selected traffic violation data from customer PC 30 via communication unit 32 and network 70 (step S5). If there is a request (step S5; Yes), control unit 81 generates the selected traffic violation data in response to the request (step S6). Server 80 transmits the generated selected traffic violation data to customer PC 30 via communication unit 82 and network 70 (step S7). Customer PC 30 receives the selected traffic violation data via network 70 and communication unit 32, and display unit 33 displays the received selected traffic violation data (step S8).

[0046] The programs for performing the various processes described above may be stored in the non-volatile memory 26A of the vehicle-mounted device 10, the storage unit 83 of the server 80, or the storage unit 34 of the customer PC 30, for example.

[0047] The customer PC 30 is a display device that is installed, for example, in the office of a customer business operator, and is operated by a user such as a manager to grasp the status of traffic violations and verify and analyze the details of the traffic violations. FIG. 3 is a screen transition diagram showing the transition of display screens displayed on the display unit 33 of the customer PC 30. When a user logs in to the customer PC 30, a dashboard screen is displayed on the display unit 33. The user can use the operation unit 36 ​​to transition to the following screens.

[0048] Traffic violation occurrence display: A screen that displays the occurrence of traffic violations in the location and range (selected area) on the map selected by the user (see Figures 4 to 8 for specific examples). Compliance Check: Screen to check compliance with traffic regulations Compliance ranking: A screen showing the ranking of drivers according to compliance rate. -Rate by type of violation: Screen showing the rate of each type of traffic violation - Adherence rate trends: A screen showing the progress of adherence rates over time ·User list···List screen of drivers who operate vehicles Settings: Screen for configuring display settings

[0049] Figure 4 shows the initial screen that is first displayed by the display unit 33 in the traffic violation occurrence display of Figure 3. The range to be displayed on the map on the initial screen can be set using the setting screen of Figure 3. This screen shows the traffic violation, driver name, date and time at each position within the range initially displayed.

[0050] The user uses the operation unit 36 ​​to click on a specific location (point) on the map on the screen of FIG. 4. This click corresponds to the request in step S5 of FIG. 2. In response to this request, the server 80 generates traffic violation data for the clicked specific location (step S6 of FIG. 2) and sends it to the customer PC 30. When the customer PC 30 receives the traffic violation data for the specific location, the display unit 33 displays the screen of FIG. 5. On the left side, a map including the clicked location is displayed, and on the right side, the number of violations that occurred at the clicked location, the percentage of the number of specific types of violations (X violations in FIG. 5) at this location compared to the total number of violations, a street view, the names of drivers (crew members) with the most violations, etc. are displayed.

[0051] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, the user uses the operation unit 36 ​​to click on a specific area on the map on the screen of FIG. 4. This click corresponds to the request in step S5 of FIG. 2. In response to this request, the server 80 generates traffic violation data for the clicked specific area (step S6 of FIG. 2) and sends it to the customer PC 30. When the customer PC 30 receives the traffic violation data for the specific area, the display unit 33 displays the screen of FIG. 7. On the left side, a map including the clicked area is displayed, and on the right side, the number of violations that occurred at the clicked location, the ratio of the number of specific types of violations (displayed as "XX violation" in FIG. 5) at this point to the total number of violations, an enlarged map of the clicked area, the names of drivers (crew members) who committed the most violations, etc. are displayed.

[0052] As described above, according to the operation management system 1 of this embodiment, the server 80 receives vehicle operation information from the in-vehicle device 10 and generates traffic violation data. In parallel, the user can request selected traffic violation data, which is traffic violation data selected from a specific perspective, from the customer PC 30. In response to the request from the customer PC 30, the server 80 generates the selected traffic violation data and transmits it to the customer PC 30, and the customer PC 30 can display the selected traffic violation data.

[0053] Users can request selected traffic violation data from various perspectives. Therefore, by checking the selected traffic violation data displayed on the customer PC 30, vehicle operators can verify not only the evaluation of each driver but also the vehicle operation business from various perspectives, thereby reducing the risk of the business itself.

[0054] For example, in the examples of Figures 5 to 7, a business can verify its business from the perspective of a specific area in which a vehicle travels (the location in Figure 5 or the range in Figures 6 and 7). In this example, the selected traffic violation data refers to traffic violation data selected by a user by selecting a specific area on a map. When the customer PC 30 requests traffic violation data for a specific selected area on the map (step S5 in Figure 2), the server 80 generates selected traffic violation data for the selected area (step S6 in Figure 2) and transmits it to the customer PC 30 (step S7 in Figure 2). The customer PC 30 displays the selected traffic violation data as shown in Figures 5 and 7. This allows the selected traffic violation data for the selected area selected by the user of the customer PC 30 to be displayed, making it easy to verify traffic violations in the selected area.

[0055] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted device 10 acquires information about road traffic regulations captured by the camera 23B, which is the vehicle's imaging unit (step S1 in FIG. 2), and the server 80 can determine whether or not there is a traffic violation at that location based on the information about road traffic regulations (step S3 in FIG. 2). This allows the server 80 to acquire information about road traffic regulations at the location where the image was captured from the vehicle-mounted device 10, making it easy to determine whether or not there is a traffic violation at that location.

[0056] 5 to 7, the business operator selects traffic violation data from the viewpoint of the specific area that the vehicle travels in. Hereinafter, other viewpoints that the business operator may use to select specific traffic violation data will be described.

[0057] For example, an operator can request selected traffic violation data corresponding to a specific type of traffic violation from server 80. Specific types of traffic violations include speed limit violations, no lane change violations, no turn violations, stop sign violations, etc. In this case, customer PC 30 requests the selected traffic violation data corresponding to the specific type of traffic violation, server 80 generates the selected traffic violation data and sends it to customer PC 30, and customer PC 30 displays the selected traffic violation data. This allows the selected traffic violation data corresponding to the specific type of traffic violation selected by the user of customer PC 30 to be displayed, making it easy to verify the specific type of traffic violation.

[0058] For example, a business operator can request selected traffic violation data belonging to a specific group from server 80. The group here may be any group. In this case, customer PC 30 requests selected traffic violation data belonging to a specific group, server 80 generates the selected traffic violation data and sends it to customer PC 30, and customer PC 30 displays the selected traffic violation data. This allows the user of customer PC 30 to display selected traffic violation data belonging to a specific group selected, making it easy to verify traffic violations belonging to a specific group.

[0059] The specific group may be, for example, selected traffic violation data attributed to a specific establishment among multiple establishments (including offices, sales offices, etc.) owned by the business operator that operates the customer PC 30. This allows the user of the customer PC 30 to display selected traffic violation data attributed to the establishment selected, making it easy to verify traffic violations attributed to the specific establishment. Of course, selected traffic violation data attributed to all establishments may also be displayed.

[0060] Furthermore, the specific group is, for example, a group formed by the server 80 linking multiple traffic violations together. As a result, the server 80 forms a group by linking multiple traffic violations together, and the user of the customer PC 30 can easily select the group. Specifically, the server 80 can link multiple traffic violations that occurred at a specific location, for example. As a result, the user of the customer PC 30 can easily verify multiple traffic violations at a specific location selected by the user.

[0061] For example, the business operator can request selected traffic violation data attributed to two or more specific drivers from the server 80. In this case, the customer PC 30 requests the selected traffic violation data attributed to two or more specific drivers, the server 80 generates the selected traffic violation data and sends it to the customer PC 30, and the customer PC 30 displays the selected traffic violation data. This allows the selected traffic violation data attributed to two or more specific drivers selected by the user of the customer PC 30 to be displayed, making it easy to verify traffic violations attributed to two or more specific drivers.

[0062] The above-described embodiment is basically premised on the premise that a specific business operator or each business office of the business operator independently collects data from the in-vehicle device 10 and displays and verifies the data on the customer PC 30. However, data collected from multiple business operators may be utilized to generate larger big data and provide statistical information.

[0063] The above-described embodiment displays the ratio of the number of violations of a specific type to the total number of traffic violations at a specific location (FIGS. 5 and 7). The information about the ratio may be, for example, the ratio of the number of traffic violations selected by the user to the total number of times a vehicle has passed through the specific location (violation rate). In this case, it is possible to identify a location with a high number of violations even if the number of times a vehicle has passed through it is small, and to recognize the location as a location requiring caution due to a high violation rate.

[0064] The percentage information may also be, for example, the ratio of the number of traffic violations at the selected location to all of the selected traffic violations (all areas), or the percentage information may be, for example, the ratio of the number of selected traffic violations to the total number of violations at the specific location (including violations other than the selected violations).

[0065] Instead of a request for selected traffic violation data from the customer PC 30, the server 80 may automatically determine and generate selected traffic violation data by selecting traffic violation data from a specific perspective. For example, the server 80 may automatically determine the number of violations of the selected traffic violations and the locations where violations frequently occur, and highlight them on a map.

[0066] When the user operates the setting screen (Fig. 3) using the operation unit 36, the display unit 33 may display the selected location where a large number of traffic violations have occurred so that it is easy to see. Fig. 8 shows an example screen that plots the number of traffic violations, with the plot size being larger for locations with a large number of violations.
