Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for presenting information about trailers and tractors, a device for presenting information about trailers and tractors, and a program for presenting information about trailers and tractors. [Background technology]

[0002] In the transportation sector, the shortage of drivers is becoming more serious, and there is a growing need for efficient use of special vehicles (hereinafter referred to as "special vehicles") such as trailers and tractors as defined in Article 47-2 of the Road Act. For the above-mentioned special vehicles to travel on roads, special vehicle travel procedures are required, and in principle, an application for a special vehicle travel permit must be made to the road administrator and a special vehicle travel permit must be obtained. However, obtaining a special vehicle travel permit can take time, and it can take up to four months from the time the special vehicle is delivered to receive the permit. Therefore, in April 2022, a special vehicle travel confirmation system was launched, which allows vehicles that have been pre-registered with the Road New Industry Development Organization (Special Vehicle Registration Center), a general incorporated foundation, to travel online immediately on roads where road information has been digitized, but utilization is less than 1%.

[0003] When many transport businesses purchase trailers or tractors, they first consider hitching them to a vehicle when obtaining a vehicle inspection certificate, and then go through the special vehicle passage procedures. In processing these special vehicle passage procedures, it is necessary to collect information held by the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Association, the Logistics and Motor Vehicle Bureau, the vehicle manufacturer, and the business operator, and collecting this information requires a great deal of time and effort. Therefore, in order to efficiently utilize trailers, tractors, etc., it is necessary to shorten the time required to prepare for special vehicle entry procedures. However, currently there is no method for displaying trailer and tractor information that can meet such demands.

[0004] Currently, in Japan, there are 100,000 trailers used for logistics, with a loading rate of 60% for 20-ton trailers, a daily driving distance of 500 km (total including road and sea), and 250 operating days per year. Assuming this, the total annual transportation volume in Japan is 150 billion ton-kilometers (ton-km). The total annual transportation volume in Japan is 405 billion ton-kilometers. Assuming that 20% of the 40,000 tractors and 100,000 trailers currently have completed the special vehicle clearance procedures, then the calculation is 40,000 x 100,000 x 0.2 = 8 x 10 8 Each unit is equivalent to 150 billion ton-kilometers per year. To maintain the current level of transportation volume toward 2030, the tractors and trailers in question will need to handle at least 150 billion ton-kilometers per year, as mentioned above. However, if we assume that 30% of the 30,000 tractors and 100,000 trailers undergo special vehicle clearance procedures, the calculation is 30,000 x 100,000 x 0.3 = 9 x 10 8 This amounts to 168.8 billion ton-kilometers per year (680 million ton-kilometers per day). Therefore, even if the contribution of the trailer and tractor information display method of the present invention is only one-third, if the trailer and tractor information display method of the present invention cannot be used, a transportation volume of 230 million ton-kilometers per day will be lost. This is a major social issue that cannot be overlooked, but has not been recognized until now. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a method for presenting information about trailers and tractors, a device for presenting information about trailers and tractors, and a program for presenting information about trailers and tractors that can break through the current situation and shorten the time required to prepare for special vehicle passage procedures. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The means for solving the above problems are as follows: <1> This is a trailer and tractor information presentation method characterized by including a special vehicle passage procedure information presentation step that presents information on the trailer model and wheelbase required for special vehicle passage procedures, as well as information on the tractor model, wheelbase and coupler offset value. In the trailer and tractor information presentation method, the special vehicle passage procedure information presentation step presents information on the trailer model and wheelbase, as well as information on the tractor model, wheelbase, and coupler offset value, which are required for the special vehicle passage procedure. As a result, information held by the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Association (e.g., model), information held by the Logistics and Motor Vehicle Bureau and vehicle manufacturers (e.g., wheelbase), and information held by businesses (e.g., coupler offset value) will be available, shortening the time required to prepare for special vehicle passage procedures. <2> and a trailer / tractor information obtaining step, prior to the special vehicle passage procedure information presenting step, of obtaining information on the trailer model and wheelbase, and information on the tractor model, wheelbase, and coupler offset value, which are required for the special vehicle passage procedure; In the trailer / tractor information acquisition step, Obtaining information about the model and wheelbase of the tractor; obtaining information about the trailer model and wheelbase; After obtaining the information on the trailer model and the wheelbase, information on the coupler offset value of the tractor is obtained. <1> 1 is a method for displaying information about a trailer and a tractor according to the present invention. The aforementioned <2> The trailer and tractor information presentation method described above includes a trailer / tractor information acquisition step of acquiring information on the trailer model and axle distance, as well as information on the tractor model, axle distance and coupler offset value, which are necessary for the special vehicle passage procedure, before the special vehicle passage procedure information presentation step, and in the trailer / tractor information acquisition step, information on the tractor model and axle distance is acquired, information on the trailer model and axle distance is acquired, and after acquiring the trailer model and axle distance information, information on the tractor coupler offset value is acquired. Therefore, when trailer sharing is carried out, information on the tractor model and wheelbase can be obtained at any time, and businesses wishing to rent out trailers can first obtain information on the "special vehicle candidate trailer" and then obtain information on the coupler offset value of the "special vehicle eligible tractor" for which the special vehicle passage procedure will be carried out. This allows for the quick presentation of trailer and tractor information or the special vehicle passage procedure to be carried out. This further shortens the time required to prepare for the special vehicle passage procedure. <3> a operability presenting step of comparing information on a designated combination of a trailer and a tractor with information on a past combination of a trailer and a tractor that has a past operational record, and presenting the operability of the designated combination; <1> 1 is a method for displaying information about a trailer and a tractor according to the present invention. The aforementioned <3> In the trailer and tractor information presentation method described above, in the operation possibility presentation step, information on the specified combination of trailer and tractor is compared with information on actual combinations of trailers and tractors that have been operated in the past, and the operation possibility of the specified combination is presented. Therefore, when the specified combination of trailer and tractor is included in the combination of trailers and tractors that have been operated in the past, the operation possibility can be quickly presented. Therefore, the method for presenting information about trailers and tractors is suitably applicable to the efficient use (sharing, etc.) of the trailers, tractors, etc. <4> the operation possibility presenting step compares the total weight or total vehicle length of the specified combination with the total weight or total vehicle length of the past combination and presents whether or not the total weight or total vehicle length is within the range of the past combination; <3> 1 is a method for displaying information about a trailer and a tractor according to the present invention. The aforementioned <4> In the trailer and tractor information presentation method described above, in the operation possibility presentation step, the total weight or total vehicle length of the specified combination is compared with the total weight or total vehicle length of the actual combination, and a presentation is made as to whether or not the total weight or total vehicle length is within the range of the total weight or total vehicle length of the actual combination. Therefore, if the total weight or total length of the specified combination of trailer and tractor is within the range of the total weight or total length of the actual combination of trailer and tractor that has been operated in the past, the operation possibility can be quickly presented. Therefore, the trailer and tractor information presentation method can be suitably applied to the efficient use (sharing, etc.) of the trailer, tractor, etc. <5> and a trailer-tractor information group reference step of, before the operation possibility presentation step, referring to a trailer-tractor information group including information on the trailer or tractor and information on the tractor that can be connected to the trailer or the trailer that can be connected to the tractor, which is recorded on the motor vehicle inspection certificate, to determine whether the trailer and tractor relating to the specified combination can be connected. <3> 1 is a method for displaying information about a trailer and a tractor according to the present invention. The aforementioned <5> In the trailer and tractor information presentation method described above, in the trailer / tractor information group reference process prior to the operation possibility presentation process, a reference is made to a trailer / tractor information group that includes information on the trailer or tractor listed on the motor vehicle inspection certificate and information on tractors that can be connected to the trailer or trailers that can be connected to the tractor to determine whether the trailer and tractor related to the specified combination can be connected. A specific trailer or tractor vehicle inspection certificate lists the tractors or trailers that can be coupled to the trailer or tractor, but does not list them comprehensively. Therefore, by referencing a trailer-tractor information group that includes comprehensive information on tractors that can be coupled to the trailer or trailers that can be coupled to the tractor, it is possible to quickly indicate whether the trailer and tractor in the specified combination can be coupled. Therefore, the trailer and tractor information presentation method is suitable for efficient use (sharing, etc.) of trailers, tractors, etc. <6> a designated combination candidate presentation step, prior to the trailer-tractor information group reference step, of presenting candidates for the designated combination from a group of vehicles consisting of trailers and tractors that have a common transport record; The group of vehicles consisting of the trailer and the tractor includes: a candidate location selected for one trailer based on the transportation record of the trailer, the candidate location being a frequently used long-term parking location for the trailer; a trailer group that selects one of the trailers and another trailer that share a common location candidate among long-term parking and stopping locations of the other trailers, selected based on the transportation records of the other trailers; a tractor group that selects tractors that can be coupled to each trailer in the trailer group; Or, a candidate location selected for one tractor based on the transportation record of the tractor, the candidate location being a frequently occurring long-term parking location for the tractor; a tractor group that selects one of the tractors and another tractor that share a common location candidate among long-term parking and stopping locations of the other tractor, the location candidate being selected based on the transportation record of the other tractor; a trailer group that selects trailers that can be connected to each tractor in the tractor group; The aforementioned <5> 1 is a method for displaying information about a trailer and a tractor according to the present invention. The aforementioned <6> In the trailer and tractor information presentation method described above, in a designated combination candidate presentation process prior to the trailer / tractor information group reference process, candidates for the designated combination of the trailer and tractor are presented from a group of vehicles consisting of the trailer and tractor (a group of vehicles consisting of trailers and tractors with a common transportation history) selected based on the transportation history of the trailer or tractor. The presented candidates for the specified combination of trailer and tractor already have a common transport track record, and therefore are likely to be suitable for sharing the trailer, tractor, etc. Therefore, the method for presenting information on trailers and tractors can be suitably applied to the efficient use (sharing, etc.) of the trailers, tractors, etc. <7> a relationship presentation step of presenting a relationship between an owner of a trailer related to the specified combination and an owner of a tractor related to the specified combination, <3> 1 is a method for displaying information about a trailer and a tractor according to the present invention. The aforementioned <7> In the trailer and tractor information presentation method described in (1), the relationship between the owner of the trailer related to the designated combination and the owner of the tractor related to the designated combination is presented, so that the practicality of the designated combination can be easily understood. Therefore, the trailer and tractor information presentation method can be suitably applied to the efficient use (sharing, etc.) of the trailer, tractor, etc. <8> This is an information presentation device for trailers and tractors, characterized by including a special vehicle passage procedure information presentation means that presents information on the trailer model and wheelbase required for special vehicle passage procedures, as well as information on the tractor model, wheelbase and coupler offset value.

The trailer and tractor information presentation device of the present invention can be suitably operated by the trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention. Below, the trailer and tractor information presentation device of the present invention will also be described through the description of the trailer and tractor information presentation method of the present invention.

[0011] -Special vehicle passage procedure information presentation process- In the special vehicle passage procedure information presentation step, information on the trailer and tractor required for the special vehicle passage procedure is presented. The information necessary for the special vehicle entry procedure can be obtained in the trailer / tractor information acquisition process described below.

[0012] The special vehicle passage procedures are a system established to grant permission for and confirm passage when special vehicles, such as large (weight, size) vehicles, are allowed to travel on roads (expressways, national highways, prefectural roads, municipal roads, etc.), as they have a significant impact on the safety of roads and bridges and pose a high risk to the passage of ordinary vehicles. The special vehicle passage procedure is not particularly limited and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, and examples include procedures that allow special vehicles to pass, such as a special vehicle passage permit system and a special vehicle passage confirmation system.

[0013] The trailer is a storage means (towed vehicle) and is not particularly limited as long as it is towed by a towing vehicle, and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose. The trailer may be a special vehicle (special vehicle). The trailer is owned by a trailer-owning organization. Examples of the trailer-owning organization include a company or base (transportation company) that owns at least a trailer. The trailer-owning organization may also own a tractor. Examples of the company include a land transportation company, a shipping company, an air transportation company, etc. Examples of the base include a business office owned by a company.

[0014] The tractor is a transport means (tow vehicle) and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose without any particular limitation, as long as it is capable of towing a towed vehicle. The tractor may be a special vehicle (special vehicle). The tractor is owned by a tractor-owning organization. Examples of the tractor-owning organization include a company or base (transportation company) that owns at least a tractor. The tractor-owning organization may also own a trailer. Examples of the company include a land transport company, a shipping company, and an air transport company. Examples of the base include a business office owned by a company.

[0015] The term "special vehicle" refers to a vehicle with a special structure, or a vehicle carrying special cargo that exceeds any of the general limits for width, length, height, or total weight, or a vehicle that exceeds any of the general limits for total weight or height on bridges, elevated roads, tunnels, etc. (Article 47-2 of the Road Act). Examples of vehicles with special structures include self-propelled construction machinery such as truck cranes, five special types of trailer-mounted vehicles (van, tank, canopy frame, container, and automobile transport), and three additional types: tailgate, stanchion, and ship's bottom. The five special types and the three additional types are collectively referred to as the eight special types. Examples of vehicles carrying special cargo include construction machinery, large generators, train bodies, utility poles, and other cargo that cannot be separated and therefore exceed any of the general limits.

[0016] The trailer information required for the special vehicle passage procedure includes information on the model and wheelbase. The model is the model of the trailer. The wheelbase is the wheelbase of the trailer, and examples of such distances include the distance between the coupler (kingpin) position and the rear axle (L3), the distance between the fore-aft position of the center of gravity of the loaded cargo weight and the center between the rear axle and the rear front axle (L4: bed offset), the distance between the rear axle and the rear front axle (L5), the distance between the rear axle and the rear front axle (L5) divided by 2 (L6), and the distance between "L3" and "L6" (L7). Of these, the distance between the coupler (kingpin) position and the rear axle (L3), the distance between the fore-aft position of the center of gravity of the loaded cargo weight and the center between the rear axle and the rear front axle (L4: bed offset), or the distance between the rear axle and the rear front axle (L5) are preferred.

[0017] The information about the trailer required for the special vehicle passage procedure may be the information or numerical values ​​shown in FIG.

[0018] The tractor information required for the special vehicle entry procedure includes the model, wheelbase, and coupler offset value. The model is the model of the tractor. The axle distance (wheelbase) is the axle distance (wheelbase) of the tractor, and examples thereof include the distance (L1) between the front axle and the rear axle, and the distance (L2) obtained by subtracting the coupler offset from the distance (L1) between the front axle and the rear axle. Among these, the distance (L1) between the front axle and the rear axle is preferred. The coupler offset value is the distance from the rear wheel axle of the tractor to the coupler.

[0019] The information about the tractor required for the special vehicle passage procedure may be the information or numerical values ​​shown in FIG.

[0020] In Figures 1 and 2, "A" is information held by the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Association (AIRIA), a general incorporated foundation. "W" is information held by the Logistics and Motor Vehicle Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. "M" is information held by trailer or tractor manufacturers. "J" is information held by businesses.

[0021] In Figures 1 and 2, "SF" is the length from the trailer coupler to the front, "H-CO" is the tractor coupler offset, and "H-FO" is the tractor's front overhang. "(Non-input)" is not an input item for special vehicle passage procedures, but is a value necessary for calculating items that require input.

[0022] 3A and 3B, the corresponding locations on the trailer for some of the information (numerical values) shown in FIG. 1 are illustrated. 4A, 4B, and 4C illustrate the corresponding locations on the tractor for some of the information (numerical values) shown in FIG. In FIG. 5A, the corresponding locations of some of the information (values) shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 on the coupled tractor and trailer are illustrated. In Figure 5B, the corresponding location of "C-l1" on the coupled tractor and trailer is shown. Note that "C-l1" is "(H-g1) / 2", which is 1040 when "H-g1" is 2080. In Figure 5C, the corresponding location of "C-l2" on the coupled tractor and trailer is shown. Note that "C-l2" is "(S-g2) / 2", which is 925 when "S-g2" is 1850.

[0023] A schematic diagram of a vehicle in which a trailer and a tractor are coupled together is shown in Figure 6. Of these, the 1-1-2 type will be used as an example for explanation, but the present invention is applicable to all types.

[0024] The information held by the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Association (AIRIA), a general incorporated foundation, includes the trailer or tractor model, total engine displacement, load capacity, vehicle weight, gross vehicle weight, front axle load, rear axle load, model of the towing vehicle and towed vehicle, fifth wheel load, and rear axle load if the trailer has a lift axle, as shown in Figure 7. The top row (second line) of FIG. 7 is information about trailers, and the bottom row (third line) of FIG. 7 is information about tractors.

[0025] Examples of information held by the Logistics and Road Transport Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism include that shown in FIG. The upper part of FIG. 8 (reference number 1) is information about trailers, and the lower part of FIG. 8 (reference number 2) is information about tractors.

[0026] Examples of the information held by the trailer manufacturer include that shown in FIG. The trailer manufacturer can receive the corresponding information by providing the trailer manufacturer with the 12-digit vehicle registration number for each individual vehicle.

[0027] Examples of the information held by the tractor manufacturer include that shown in FIG. For the tractor manufacturer, information corresponding to each model can be obtained. For example, when a new "model" or a company-specific "auxiliary model identifier (category)" is issued by a tractor manufacturer, the information can be automatically provided. The largest mounted part of a tractor is the coupler. OEMs import products made by JOST (an automotive parts supplier based in Frankfurt, Germany), and each company prepares several types of auxiliary identifiers (categories) to deliver to customers' specifications. The auxiliary identifiers (categories) of the model make it possible to identify tractors with different coupler offset values. Many trailer models have the "kai" mark attached. Although the trailers are basically the same specifications, if the height of the reflectors is changed by a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism ordinance, for example, the "kai" mark is attached. On the other hand, there are almost no tractor models that have the "kai" mark attached, and it is thought that this is handled by the auxiliary identifier of the model.

[0028] The information held by the business (transport business) includes the value of the coupler offset (H-CO).

[0029] Figure 11 shows an example of the "number of wheels." In the case of a single tire shown in the top row of Figure 11, there is one wheel on each side, making two wheels. In the case of a double tire shown in the middle row of Figure 11, there is only one wheel, so it is counted as one wheel on each side, making two wheels in total. In the case of a double tire (both sides) shown in the bottom row of Figure 11, it is counted as two wheels on each side, making four wheels in total.

[0030] The wheelbase is the distance between the center of each axle and wheel (the distance between the centers of the outermost wheels). It is expressed by the corresponding code from 1 to 5 according to the G code table shown in Figure 12.

[0031] -Means for presenting information on special vehicle passage procedures- The special vehicle passage procedure information presentation means is not particularly limited as long as it can present information on the trailer model and wheelbase, as well as information on the tractor model, wheelbase, and coupler offset value, which are necessary for the special vehicle passage procedure, and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, for example, a known computer, server device, etc. It is preferable that the special vehicle passage procedure information presentation means is capable of recording (storing) the results of the presentation of the special vehicle passage procedure information. The special vehicle passage procedure information presentation means may be one or more. The special vehicle passage procedure information presentation means can function as a platform server, for example, when it is managed and operated by a sharing organization.

[0032] <Other steps and other means> The other processes are not particularly limited and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, and examples include a trailer / tractor information acquisition process, a drivability presentation process, a trailer / tractor information group reference process, a designated combination candidate presentation process, a relationship presentation process, a mutual use memorandum confirmation process, as well as a display process, a communication process, and an input process. The other means are not particularly limited and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, and examples include trailer / tractor information acquisition means, operation possibility presentation means, trailer / tractor information group reference means, designated combination candidate presentation means, relationship presentation means, mutual use memorandum confirmation means, as well as display means, communication means, input means, etc.

[0033] -Trailer and tractor information acquisition process- The trailer / tractor information acquisition step is a step of acquiring information on the trailer and tractor required for the special vehicle passage procedure. It is preferable that the trailer / tractor information obtaining step is performed before the special vehicle passage procedure information presenting step.

[0034] In the trailer-tractor information obtaining step, it is preferable to obtain information on the model and axle distance of the tractor, obtain information on the model and axle distance of the trailer, and after obtaining the information on the model and axle distance of the trailer, obtain information on the coupler offset value of the tractor. Among these, it is more preferable to obtain information on the model and axle distance of the tractor at any time, obtain information on the model and axle distance of the trailer, and then obtain information on the coupler offset value of the tractor after obtaining the information on the model and axle distance of the trailer. There are no particular restrictions on the aforementioned "at any time" and it can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, for example, when the tractor's "model" or "model auxiliary identifier (category)" is newly issued or updated.

[0035] The information held by the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Association (AIRIA), a general incorporated foundation, can be obtained on the same day. The information held by the Logistics and Road Transport Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is disclosed by requesting disclosure of information and can generally be obtained within one month. The information held by the trailer or tractor manufacturer can be obtained within approximately one month. Note that information held by the trailer manufacturer for each individual vehicle can also be obtained within approximately one month, while the specification information obtained from the tractor manufacturer can be obtained when the new tractor model is shipped from the manufacturer.

[0036] Figure 13 shows an example of the processing image for simplifying and speeding up special vehicle passage procedures. Figure 14 shows an example of the expected processing flow and time schedule.

[0037] As shown in Figures 13 and 14, by obtaining information on tractors corresponding to each tractor model (and its auxiliary identifier) ​​from affiliated tractor manufacturers at any time, it is possible to make it possible to process tractors that fall under the standard model using only this information, except for the coupler offset value ("0" in Figures 13 and 14).

[0038] Even if the timing for carrying out the special vehicle clearance procedure is not clear in the smart advance processing for special vehicles ("1" in Figures 13 and 14), in order to ensure the simplicity and speed of the actual special vehicle clearance procedure, information will be disclosed from the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Association (AIRIA), information held by the Logistics and Motor Vehicle Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (WB), etc., and information will be obtained from trailer manufacturers. As in the case of trailer sharing, businesses wishing to rent out trailers may prepare for the procedure application by designating the trailer in question as a "special vehicle candidate trailer."

[0039] Next, in the special vehicle smart last minute processing ("2" in Figures 13 and 14), the tractor undergoing the special vehicle passage procedure is designated as a "special vehicle target tractor," and the coupler offset value (CO) information is obtained and the procedure is applied for. AIRIS information is provided for this tractor. At the same time, the "special vehicle target trailer (pre-completed)" is clearly indicated (indicating that preparations for the procedure application have already been completed as a special vehicle candidate trailer).

[0040] Subsequently, or simultaneously with the special vehicle smart last minute processing ("2" in Figures 13 and 14), the special vehicle passage procedure can be carried out ("3" in Figures 13 and 14, main special vehicle application (actual processing)). Here, the vehicle group information is managed in a way that includes all of the vehicle information groups for the target trailers and tractors (i.e., the series of processes is completed when all of the target trailers and tractors are managed).

[0041] FIG. 15 shows an example of the input format for a processing request. For example, in a special vehicle smart advance processing application, if the trailer in question is manufactured by an affiliated trailer manufacturer, simple description is possible by entering the trailer registration number, chassis number, equipment ID number, etc., and if the trailer in question is manufactured by a non-affiliated trailer manufacturer, information (values) such as "SF," "S-axle distance-L4," "S-g1," and "S-g2" can be entered in addition to the trailer registration number, chassis number, equipment ID number, etc.

[0042] In a special vehicle smart last minute processing application, for example, if the tractor in question is manufactured by an affiliated tractor manufacturer, simple description is possible by entering the tractor registration number, chassis number, H-CO, equipment ID number, etc., and if the tractor in question is manufactured by a non-affiliated tractor manufacturer, in addition to the tractor registration number, chassis number, H-CO, equipment ID number, etc., information (values) such as "H-FO", "H-axle spacing-L1", "HA-number of wheels", "HB-number of wheels", "H-g1", "H-g2", etc. If the tractor in question has already undergone last minute processing, the tractor registration number should be entered. Also include the trailer registration number. When applying for actual processing of special vehicle smart vehicles, you can enter the registration number of the ``last minute processing application for special vehicle smart vehicles'' you are applying for.

[0043] Previously, the process was basically manual, with each transport company or commissioned administrative scrivener contacting manufacturers individually for trailers and tractors within the scope of their current work to carry out the procedures and preparations for special vehicle clearance, but with the method of this invention, a platform can be built to simplify and speed up the special vehicle clearance procedures by basically automatically aggregating information from vehicle inspection certificates held by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, as well as WB information measured by the Land Transport Bureau, and even information held only by manufacturers.This will allow any transport company or administrative scrivener to expand the combinations of trailers and tractors that can be connected and operated from a broad perspective, and prepare for the severe labor shortage that will become more severe in the future.

[0044] In the method of the present invention, the key vehicle in the special vehicle passage procedure is the tractor, not the trailer, the fee in the special vehicle passage procedure is charged to the tractor, not the trailer, the proportion of ``modifications'' given to the model is higher for trailers, information needs to be collected for each trailer, whereas for tractors, the model can be adjusted, trailers are not affected by the coupler, and the transportation company holds the tractor's coupler offset value, under these circumstances, by entering only the tractor's coupler offset value and submitting the application, a special vehicle application can be completed in as little as two business days.

[0045] -Operation feasibility presentation process- In the operation possibility presentation step, information on a specified combination of a trailer and a tractor is compared with information on past combinations of trailers and tractors that have been operated in the past, and the operation possibility of the specified combination is presented.

[0046] There are no particular restrictions on the presentation of the operability of the specified combination, and it can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose. For example, the total weight or total vehicle length of the specified combination can be compared with the total weight or total vehicle length of the actual combination, and a presentation can be made as to whether or not it is within the range of the total weight or total vehicle length of the actual combination. In addition to or instead of the total vehicle length, the height (vehicle height) and width (vehicle width) can also be compared.

[0047] The total weight is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, and examples thereof include the total vehicle weight of the trailer and tractor, the total gross vehicle weight of the trailer and tractor, etc. Among these, the total gross vehicle weight of the trailer and tractor is preferred.

[0048] The total vehicle length is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, and may be, for example, the total length when the trailer and tractor are coupled together.

[0049] There are no particular restrictions on the method of comparison and it can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose. For example, information on designated combinations of trailers and tractors is obtained from the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Service (Abbreviated as "AIRIS") provided by the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Association (Abbreviated as "AIRIA"), and this information is compared with information on actual combinations of trailers and tractors that have been operated in the past (trailers and tractors that have already been registered). Information on the combination of trailers and tractors with past operating records (trailers and tractors that have already been registered) can be obtained, for example, from the <<Vehicle Supplementary Layer>> or <<Special Vehicle Application Related Layer>> of the <Corporate Special Vehicle Related Information DB>> described below.

[0050] The information on the combinations of trailers and tractors with past operating records (trailers and tractors that have already been registered) can be created and updated as a vehicle-related data set shown in Fig. 16. The vehicle-related data set may be managed on the cloud.

[0051] The comparison can be limited to the same route (specified route). Specifically, the comparison can be made with actual combinations of trailers and tractors that have been operated in the past on the same route as the route that the specified combination of trailers and tractors is about to take. The route that the specified combination of trailers and tractors is about to take can be divided, and each divided route can be compared with actual combinations of trailers and tractors that have been operated in the past.

[0052] There are no particular restrictions on the method of presenting the operability of the specified combination, and it can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose. For example, if the information on the specified combination of trailer and tractor is within the range of information on actual combinations of trailers and tractors that have been operated in the past, the method may present the operability of the specified combination.

[0053] -Trailer and tractor information group reference process- In the trailer / tractor information group reference process, a trailer / tractor information group containing information on the trailer or tractor listed on the vehicle inspection certificate (vehicle inspection certificate) and information on tractors that can be connected to the trailer or trailers that can be connected to the tractor is referenced to determine whether the trailer and tractor related to the specified combination can be connected.

[0054] The trailer or tractor information is not particularly limited as long as it is information listed on the vehicle inspection certificate, and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, such as model information. The trailer / tractor information group (national standard information) includes information on the trailer or tractor listed on the motor vehicle inspection certificate, and information on the tractor that can be connected to the trailer or the trailer that can be connected to the tractor.

[0055] 17A and 17B show an example of a vehicle inspection certificate for a van-type semi-trailer. The vehicle inspection certificate for the van-type semi-trailer contains the vehicle registration number, chassis number, model, and a list of models of tractors that have been confirmed to be connected and are under consideration for coupling. The list of tractor models that have been confirmed for connection under the above-mentioned connection study is not comprehensive and only covers those that have been applied for by the applicant.

[0056] The trailer-tractor information group is not particularly limited and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, and can be obtained, for example, by the method shown in FIG.

[0057] Specifically, first, trailer and tractor information (sample information) is obtained, the obtained information is formatted for the AIRIS service, and a search request is sent to AIRIS.

[0058] Thereafter, the trailer information of the data received from the AIRIS service is sorted, for example, as in the trailer sorting sheet shown in FIG. The sorting method is not particularly limited and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, for example, sorting can be performed in ascending order of trailer type. Furthermore, sorting can also be performed in ascending order of connectable types. As can be seen from the results in Figure 19, even for the same trailer model, the number of types that can be hitched varies. This is because the types that can be hitched listed on the vehicle inspection certificate are not comprehensive, and only include the number of types that the transport business operator or other entity has applied for.

[0059] Similarly, the data received from the AIRIS service is sorted into tractor information, for example, as in the tractor sorting sheet shown in FIG. The sorting method is not particularly limited and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, for example, sorting can be performed in ascending order of tractor model. Furthermore, sorting can also be performed in ascending order of connectable model. As can be seen from the results in Figure 20, even for the same tractor model, the number of models that can be connected varies. This is because the connectable models listed on the vehicle inspection certificate are not comprehensive, and only include those applied for by the transport business operator, etc.

[0060] Finally, for example, information from the trailer organizing sheet and the tractor organizing sheet can be compiled into the output sheet shown in FIG. 21 to form the trailer / tractor information group. Specifically, for a particular type of trailer, all tractors that are considered to be capable of towing the trailer (all tractors that are considered to be capable of towing at least one trailer) are considered to be types of tractors that can be connected to the trailer. The trailer model master contains information covering all models of tractors that can be connected to all trailer models.

[0061] Similarly, for a particular type of tractor, all trailers that can be towed by the tractor (all trailers that can be towed by at least one tractor) are considered to be types of trailers that can be connected to the tractor. The tractor model master contains information covering all trailer models that can be connected to all tractor models.

[0062] As a result of the above, although the information on the types of vehicles that can be hitched listed on a specific motor vehicle inspection certificate is not comprehensive, the information on the types of vehicles that can be hitched included in the trailer / tractor information group is comprehensive.

[0063] In Figures 18 to 21, the results of 60 trailers and 30 tractors are shown as sample numbers, but by increasing the number of samples, a more comprehensive set of trailer and tractor information can be obtained.

[0064] There are no particular limitations on the method for checking whether the trailer and tractor relating to the specified combination can be connected from the trailer-tractor information group, and it can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose. For example, there is a method for searching the output sheet shown in Figure 21 for the model of the trailer relating to the specified combination and checking whether the tractor relating to the specified combination is a connectable tractor, and / or a method for searching the output sheet shown in Figure 21 for the model of the tractor relating to the specified combination and checking whether the trailer relating to the specified combination is a connectable trailer.

[0065] There is no particular restriction on the order in which the trailer-tractor information group reference step is performed, and it can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, but it is preferable to perform it before the operation possibility presentation step.

[0066] -Presenting candidate combinations- In the designated combination candidate presenting step, candidates for the designated combination are presented from a group of vehicles made up of trailers and tractors that have a common transport record.

[0067] The vehicle group consisting of trailers and tractors with a common transport history is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, but a trailer group that selects one trailer and another trailer that share a common location candidate for a long-term parking / stopping point of one trailer selected based on the transport history of the one trailer, and a trailer group that selects another trailer that share a common location candidate for a long-term parking / stopping point of another trailer selected based on the transport history of the other trailer, and a trailer group that selects one trailer and another trailer that can be connected to each trailer in the trailer group. a vehicle group consisting of a tractor group in which one tractor and another tractor are selected, or a vehicle group consisting of a tractor group in which one tractor and another tractor are selected that share a common location candidate for a long-term parking / stop of one tractor selected for one tractor based on the transportation history of the tractor and a common location candidate for a long-term parking / stop of another tractor selected for another tractor based on the transportation history of the other tractor, and a trailer group in which trailers that can be connected to each tractor in the tractor group are selected.

[0068] Among these, in terms of presenting candidates for the specified combinations with a particular focus on trailers, etc., a preferred vehicle group is one consisting of a trailer group that selects one trailer and another trailer that share a common location candidate for a long-term parking / stopping that is selected for one trailer based on the transport history of the one trailer, and a common location candidate for a long-term parking / stopping that is selected for another trailer based on the transport history of the other trailer, and a tractor group that selects tractors that can be coupled to each trailer in the trailer group.

[0069] In addition, "tractors that can be connected to each trailer in the trailer group" may also be "tractors that can be connected to one of the trailers in the trailer group," and "trailers that can be connected to each of the tractors in the tractor group" may also be "trailers that can be connected to one of the tractors in the tractor group."

[0070] The parking location refers to a location where the trailer or tractor has been staying for a predetermined period of time, based on location information obtained from a probe (e.g., a GPS tracking device) that is an IoT device mounted on the trailer or tractor. The "same location" refers to a location where the GPS information values ​​of the probe, such as a GPS tracking device, are the same (e.g., a location where "(latitude) X degrees Y minutes Z seconds, (longitude) X degrees Y minutes Z seconds" are the same). When the latitude and longitude are expressed as "X degrees Y minutes Z seconds," the "00 seconds" may be omitted. On the other hand, when the latitude and longitude are expressed numerically, for example, as "xx.yy," "xx" represents "xx degrees" and ".yy" represents the decimal point of the degree. That is, "aa degrees bb minutes cc seconds" is expressed as "xx" = "aa degrees," and the decimal point is "yy = bb / 60 + cc / 3600" (assuming two decimal points). Therefore, for "bb" and "cc", 0≦bb<59 and 0≦cc<59, and for "yy", 0≦yy<99.

[0071] The long-term parking point means a point where a trailer or tractor is parked for a long time to load or unload luggage or cargo, and does not include a point where a trailer or tractor is parked for a short time to connect, for example, for the driver to take a break, etc. "Long-term" refers to the time required for loading or unloading luggage or cargo, for example, a parking point of two hours or more. The term "high frequency" means that the frequency of long-term parking is high based on the trailer or tractor movement history (probe information). For example, if the locations are sorted in order of the number of long-term parking stops over the past three months, the top three locations in terms of frequency of long-term parking stops would be included.

[0072] The location candidate means a representative location used when grouping trailers or tractors into trailer groups or tractor groups. The candidate locations are either a representative location that is the average of the locations where one of the trailers or tractors has been parked for a long period of time, or an expanded representative location selected by expanding the extraction section if a different representative location exists in the vicinity of the representative location, and the representative location and the expanded representative location are selected in order of frequency. The representative position means the midpoint obtained by averaging the position information of parked vehicles within a certain area (for example, a 400 m square: 16 seconds north, south, east and west around 36 degrees north latitude). The enlarged representative position means the midpoint of a section that is reconstructed by lengthening the east-west, north-south, and north-south directions of the section when a different representative position exists near the representative position, and means, for example, the midpoint obtained by averaging representative positions within a section that is twice as long as the section of the representative position (for example, an 800m square).

[0073] Specifically, for example, if we extract the number of times a trailer or tractor has parked for more than two hours in the last three months, there are six long-term parking locations, x1 to x6, as shown in Figure 22, and the frequency of parking and stopping at these locations is as shown in Table 1 below. From the results in Table 1, if we select the three long-term parking locations with the highest frequency of stops out of the six locations, we get long-term parking locations x5, x3, and x6, as shown in Table 2 below, and these can be selected as "candidate locations."

[0074] [Table 1]

[0075] [Table 2]

[0076] A candidate location that is a frequent long-term parking location for one trailer or tractor and a candidate location that is a frequent long-term parking location for another trailer or tractor based on the transportation history of the other trailer or tractor are said to be common in common as long as the individual candidate locations are the same, and the ranking of frequency of the candidate locations may be the same or different.

[0077] An example of the fixed section is a square with each side being 400 m, as shown in Figure 23. 400 m corresponds to 16 seconds in all directions around 36 degrees north latitude. The representative position is, for example, as shown in FIG. 23, the midpoint (average) x1 of position information p1, p2, p3, and p4 in a square section with one side of 400 m. As shown in FIG. 24, when representative positions x1 and x2 are located close to each other, the area is expanded to a square section with each side being 800 m, and the intermediate average point X1 is set as the expanded representative position.

[0078] For the same location candidate, for example, the three most frequent locations are used, and their order does not matter. Furthermore, location candidates can be either representative locations or enlarged representative locations. For example, FIG. 25 shows a case where representative location x1 is included in enlarged representative location Y1, FIG. 26 shows a case where the sections of representative location x1 and enlarged representative location Y1 slightly overlap, and FIG. 27 shows a case where the section of representative location x1 and the section of enlarged representative location Y1 do not overlap. In FIGS. 25 and 26, representative location x1 and enlarged representative location Y1 correspond to the same location candidate, while in FIG. 27, representative location x1 and enlarged representative location Y1 do not correspond to the same location candidate.

[0079] The trailers tend to be parked for long periods of time at locations where loading and unloading of luggage and cargo is required. On the other hand, since the role of the tractor is to tow the trailer, it is not likely to be parked for long periods of time at the loading and unloading point of luggage and cargo, and a subordinate judgment can be made based on the "complete" (substantially identical) state of the tractor and trailer. It is possible to first construct and establish the concept of a trailer group by focusing on the movement of trailers as a means of storage, rather than tractors as a means of transportation, and then, by referring to various information, form a group of trailer and tractor vehicles, taking into account their relationship with tractors as a means of transportation.

[0080] Individual long-term parking locations of the trailer or tractor can also be selected as fixed base locations. The fixed bases refer to all representative locations that are the basis for route generation when applying for a special vehicle. Among the representative locations, the departure location (origin) and arrival location (destination) are sometimes abbreviated as "OD" (origin-destination).

[0081] The probe is not particularly limited as long as it can collect information related to the trailer or tractor, and examples thereof include a GPS capture device and a digital tachograph. Examples of information related to the trailer or tractor include location information, probe ID, collection time, trailer or tractor registration number, format ID information corresponding to the probe ID, etc., but it is preferable that the information includes at least the probe ID, collection time, trailer or tractor registration number, and location information.

[0082] The order in which the designated combination candidate presentation step is performed is not particularly limited and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, but it is preferable to perform the step before the trailer-tractor information group reference step.

[0083] The process of presenting the designated combination candidates can also be performed to determine the commonality of confirmed base points (long-term parking points) when there are target trailers or tractors, such as a specific trailer and tractor, a specific trailer and trailer, or a specific tractor and tractor. In this case, the commonality of the fixed bases (long-term parking points) of the target trailers or tractors is confirmed, and if there is a considerable degree of commonality, it is presented as a candidate for the specified combination.

[0084] -Relationship presentation process- In the relationship presentation step, the relationship between the owner of the trailer related to the specified combination and the owner of the tractor related to the specified combination is presented.

[0085] The relationship is evaluated based on the transportation performance of the trailer owner of the specified combination and the tractor owner of the specified combination during a specified period (φt), and the performance relationship between the trailer owner of the specified combination and the tractor owner of the specified combination. It is preferable that the relationship is evaluated by deriving a relationship evaluation value based on the value evaluation μ of the mileage, the advantage of alternative transportation, and the market shares of the trailer owner related to the designated combination and the tractor owner related to the designated combination, which are derived from the respective transportation performance of the trailer owner related to the designated combination and the tractor owner related to the designated combination during the specified period, and the performance relationship between the trailer owner related to the designated combination and the tractor owner related to the designated combination.

[0086] The specified period (φt) refers to a period in the past that has elapsed a certain period since the initial φ0, such as one week from the initial φ0, one month from the initial φ0, three months from the initial φ0, six months from the initial φ0, or one year from the initial φ0. If the predetermined period (φt) is too short, the evaluation may not be performed properly, whereas if the predetermined period (φt) is too long, the evaluation may require a lot of effort, time, and cost.

[0087] The relationship can be evaluated and presented, for example, by the method described in JP 2022-30758 A. The intensity of the relationship can be expressed, for example, by a relationship evaluation value shown in Table 3 below, and can be registered in advance in a database.

[0088] [Table 3]

[0089] The order in which the relationship presentation step is performed is not particularly limited and can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, but it is preferable to perform the relationship presentation step after the operation possibility presentation step.

[0090] -Mutual Use Memorandum Confirmation Process- In the mutual use memorandum confirmation step, it is indicated whether or not a mutual use memorandum has been concluded. If a mutual use memorandum has not been concluded, it is possible to conclude a mutual use memorandum. After the memorandum of mutual use is concluded, the special vehicle passage procedure will be completed by registering it on the cloud. The mutual use memorandum confirmation process is not necessary if the companies and bases are the same, or if the companies and bases are different but participate in the same sharing organization, as approval has already been given.

[0091] An example of cloud-based data related to the mutual use memorandum is shown in Figure 28.

[0092] The display means is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include the display screens of computers, mobile phones, car navigation systems, and the like. The communication means is not particularly limited as long as it is capable of communicating with the trailer and tractor information presentation device of the present invention, and any known means may be used as appropriate, such as a transceiver, an information and communication network, or the Internet. The input means is not particularly limited as long as it can accept various requests to the trailer and tractor information presentation device of the present invention, and any known means can be used as appropriate, such as a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, or microphone.

[0093] The types of information and relationships in the operation possibility presentation step, the trailer / tractor information group reference step, the designated combination candidate presentation step, the mutual use memorandum confirmation step, etc. are shown in FIG. 29.

[0094] FIG. 30 shows an example of the function of the trailer and tractor information presentation method of the present invention. Comprehensive collection of vehicle information is carried out as basic information (such as the trailer and tractor information group mentioned above). Here, registration numbers and device IDs (probe information) are combined with vehicle inspection certificate information to comprehensively collect vehicle information. Digital tachograph IDs and GPS tracking device IDs are collectively referred to as "device IDs." The detailed analysis and management of the vehicle information includes, for example, the operation possibility presentation step, the trailer / tractor information group reference step, the designated combination candidate presentation step, the mutual use memorandum confirmation step, and the like.

[0095] FIG. 31 shows a diagram comparing the conventional processing with the processing in the trailer and tractor information presentation method of the present invention. In the conventional process, the process is basically performed manually, whereas in the process of the trailer and tractor information presentation method of the present invention, the process is basically performed automatically. In particular, the operation possibility presentation process (automated based on AIRIS information) and the trailer / tractor information group reference process (simplified processing based on national standard information) can be fully automated. As a result, the process can be automated and simplified, making it possible to efficiently present information such as the operation possibility of trailers and tractors.

[0096] When presenting information about the trailers and tractors, the trailer and tractor information presentation device stores and centrally manages various information such as information about the companies and bases that own and operate the trailers, vehicle fleet information, OD fleet information, vehicle inspection certificates, and consolidation review documents, for example, as a <Corporate Special Vehicle Related Information DB> described below.

[0097] <Corporate special vehicle related information DB> The corporate special vehicle related information DB is a database that centrally manages information about companies and special vehicles by integrating information stored in five layers: the "organization" layer, the "company / base" layer, the "vehicle" layer, the "vehicle supplement" layer, and the "special vehicle application related" layer, as shown in Table 4 below. The five layers each have a table as shown in Table 4 below.

[0098] [Table 4]

[0099] (0) "Mechanism" layer The mechanism layer stores basic information about the sharing mechanism when sharing the trailer or tractor, information necessary to conceal the relationship between the base location such as a factory or warehouse and the trailer or tractor parked there so that it cannot be easily determined. The base location is a location where the trailer or tractor is parked, etc., and examples include factories, warehouses, and parking lots of companies, national or local public organizations, etc., and also includes locations where the trailer or tractor has been frequently parked for long periods of time in the past, and confirmed base locations.

[0100] Examples of tables included in the organization layer include an [organization basic information table], a [non-confidential area master table], a [confidential area master table], and a [participating company / base master].

[0101] (1) "Company / Location" Layer The company / location layer stores various information about companies and locations. Examples of tables included in the company / base layer include a trucking company table, a shipping company table, and an inter-company relationship table. The trucking company table and shipping company table are sometimes collectively referred to as the trucking company and shipping company tables.

[0102] (2) "Vehicle" layer The vehicle layer stores various information about special vehicles. Tables included in the vehicle layer include, for example, a motorcycle table, a tractor table, and a trailer table (hereinafter, trailers are used to represent towed vehicles), and these tables are sometimes collectively referred to as the motorcycle-tractor-trailer table.

[0103] (3) "Vehicle Supplement" Layer The vehicle supplemental layer stores information about specialized vehicles other than that stored in the vehicle layer. Examples of tables included in the vehicle supplementary layer include a vehicle inspection certificate table, a consolidated review document table, a location information processing (before processing) table, and a location display processing (after processing) table.

[0104] (4) "Special vehicle application related" layer Tables included in the special vehicle application related layer include, for example, the [Special Vehicle Application Main Table], [Vehicle Group Information Table], and [OD Group Information Table].

[0105] <<Mechanism Layer>> When there are a plurality of sharing mechanisms, the mechanism layer may exist for each of the sharing mechanisms. As shown in FIG. 32, the organization layer records and stores an organization basic information table, a non-secret area master table, a secret area master table, and a participating company / base master table. In the organization basic information table, in addition to information such as the name and location of the sharing organization, the pre-set non-confidential areas, the number of the confidential areas, etc. are recorded and stored. Information on the non-confidential areas is recorded and stored in the non-confidential area master table, such as the non-confidential area name and location information (e.g., northeast and southwest positions). Information on the confidential areas is recorded and stored in the confidential area master table, such as the confidential area name and location information (e.g., northeast and southwest positions). Company and location codes of the companies and locations participating in the sharing organization are recorded and stored in the participating company and location master table.

[0106] <<Company / Location Layer>> The company / base layer can be a single trucking or shipping company, but sharing is possible when there are multiple companies. The Trucking Company and Shipping Company Table, which summarizes information about trucking companies and shipping companies in the company and base layer, is shown in Table 5 below. This information is statically registered at the initial stage (when operations start, a company is added, a vehicle is added, or a special vehicle is applied for or changed). In this invention, the "owner code" of the "Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Service (Abbreviated as "AIRIS")" provided by the Automobile Inspection and Registration Information Association (Abbreviated as "AIRIA"), a general incorporated foundation, is used as the "company code α" and the "address code" is used as the "base code β". The AIRIS "owner code" and "owner code" are data assigned by a national agency, and are highly valuable information with guaranteed uniqueness.

[0107] [Truck and shipping company table] [Table 5] In Table 5, based on "AIRIS," for example, the company code is T-α for trucking companies and K-α for shipping companies. In Table 5, based on "AIRIS," for example, the company / base code is T-α·β for trucking companies and K-α·β for shipping companies.

[0108] [Intercompany Relationship Table] [Table 6]

[0109] In an environment where there are no companies or bases that utilize the sharing mechanism, the relationship evaluation value is "1" (only registration with the sharing mechanism, refusal to share all information), as shown in the [Inter-company relationship table] in Table 6 above. On the other hand, if there are companies or bases that utilize the sharing mechanism and are aware of sharing, the relationship evaluation value should be "4" or higher (special vehicle passage permits can be shared).

[0110] Major transport companies are already leasing trailers to shipping companies, while sea container (semi-trailer trucks for marine containers) operators near international strategic ports are also leasing container chassis between large and small companies. The above "relationships" are merely performance figures captured objectively from actual operational information, but by standardizing these for cases where trailers are shared in special vehicle applications, compliance with special vehicle applications will also improve, contributing to the visualization of various KPIs (key performance indicators) such as CO2 emissions.

[0111] Here, the relationship between companies and locations can be defined in accordance with the description in Patent Publication No. 2022-30758, for example. The strength of the relationships between the multiple companies and bases is expressed by the relationship evaluation values ​​shown in Table 7 below, and is registered in advance in the database. The relationship evaluation value is registered and changed at the time of initial and periodic (for example, every six months) review. In addition, if the strength of the relationship changes due to negotiations and negotiations between companies or bases, the database is updated as appropriate. The default value for the initial relationship evaluation value is "5." The closer the relationship evaluation value is to "9," the stronger the relationship, and the closer the relationship evaluation value is to "0," the weaker the relationship. A relationship evaluation value of "0" is an absolute competitor.

[0112] [Table 7]

[0113] <<Vehicle Layer>> The vehicle layer includes the [Motorcycle-Tractor-Trailer Table], which compiles information about motorcycles, tractors, and trailers, as shown in Table 8 below. This information is statically registered at the initial stage (when operations begin, a company is added, a vehicle is added, or a special vehicle application or change is made).

[0114] [Motorcycle, Tractor, Trailer Table] [Table 8]

[0115] The serial number "NN987654" of the "Transportation Order" in Table 8 above is registered with, for example, the sender company code, sender business code, sender business address, receiver company code, receiver business code, receiver business address, etc., as shown in Table 9 below.

[0116] [Table 9]

[0117] "Digital Tachograph ID" in Table 8 refers to the ID of the probe, which is an onboard device. Examples of the onboard device or probe include a digital tachograph (digital tachograph), a GPS capture device, and ETC2.0, and their characteristics are as shown in Table 10 below.

[0118] [Table 10]

[0119] Digital tachographs (sometimes abbreviated as "digitachos") are certified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Road Transport Bureau and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in cooperation with each other, with the aim of visualizing the working conditions of truck and bus operators and making it mandatory to keep driving records. Approximately 20 private companies are shipping certified equipment, including Transtron Co., Ltd. and Yazaki Energy Systems Co., Ltd. In this invention, we use a digital tachograph made by Transtron Co., Ltd., which is well-suited for cloud-based systems, but there are no particular restrictions as long as it is cloud-based. The digital tachograph has a power supply and the GPS acquisition interval is one second.

[0120] GPS tracking devices do not require a power supply and can only function when towed (trailers, container truck chassis, double-linked vehicles, etc.), so in recent years, grasping location information has become an issue for logistics companies. As a result, several private companies have begun to commercialize such devices. Furthermore, GPS tracking devices do not require a power supply, and the GPS acquisition interval can be changed from 5 seconds to 1 hour depending on the application, depending on the battery life.

[0121] ETC2.0 has been standardized for on-board ETC units for some time, as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Road Bureau is subject to expressway toll charges. However, to obtain information such as road congestion, roadside units are installed on the roadside, and data accumulated in the on-board units is uploaded when vehicles pass through the vicinity. ETC2.0 is powered, has a GPS acquisition interval of 200m, and a cumulative change in direction of travel of 45°. The introduction of ETC2.0 is being promoted through a highway discount system for logistics companies, and approximately 10 private companies have shipped certified equipment, including Panasonic Corporation.

[0122] <<Vehicle Supplementary Layer>> The vehicle supplementary layer includes the [Vehicle Inspection Certificate Table] in Table 11 below, the [Consolidation Review Document Table] in Table 12 below, the [Location Information Processing (Before Processing) Table] in Table 13, and the [Location Display Processing (After Processing) Table] in Table 14. If it is necessary to manage information on inspections other than vehicle inspections (three-month inspections, daily inspections, etc.), it can be managed in the [Vehicle Inspection Certificate Table] or [Motorcycle / Tractor / Trailer Table]. The information in these tables is statically registered at the initial stage (when operations begin, a company is added, a vehicle is added, or a special vehicle application or change is made).

[0123] The vehicle inspection certificate table shown in Table 11 below has the "vehicle registration number" as the linking key.

[0124] [Vehicle inspection certificate table] [Table 11]

[0125] The [Consolidation Review Table] shown in Table 12 below has the "chassis number" of the towing vehicle and the "chassis number" of the towed vehicle as linking keys.

[0126] [Consolidated Review Table] [Table 12] *The "Linkable Group ID" in Table 12 is a key that governs the <Special Vehicle Application Relationship Layer> described below. Based on "AIRIS," the linkable group IDs are T-α·β·γ for trucking companies and K-α·β·γ for shipping companies, where γ is a unique five-digit number representing the company and base code.

[0127] [Location information processing (before processing) table] [Table 13]

[0128] The [Location Information Processing (Before Processing) Table] records, for example, the probe's "GPS Capture Device ID," "Format ID," "Vehicle Registration Number," "Collection Date and Time," "GPS Location Information" (for example, the specific location information acquired, such as "(Latitude) X degrees Y minutes Z seconds, (Longitude) X degrees Y minutes Z seconds"), the pole number on the ship as "Optional Information," the temperature, etc.

[0129] [Position display processing (after processing) table] [Table 14]

[0130] The [Position Information Processing (After Processing) Table] records the same information as the [Position Information Processing (Before Processing) Table], but when the trailer or tractor is located in the secret area, the "GPS Position Information 0" is processed to be expanded to a certain area (for example, a rectangular shape), and "GPS Position Information 1," which is a "southwest position," and "GPS Position Information 2," which is a "northeast position" in the certain area, are recorded as the "expanded position information."

[0131] <<Special vehicle application related layer>> In the special vehicle application related layer, the information registered initially (when processing a special vehicle application or when processing an update) is the "permit number" assigned to the special vehicle application form, and the "linkable group ID" in the [linked review document table] is assigned to it. In the special vehicle application related layer, initially, a linkable group ID is assigned, and one [Special Vehicle Application Main Table] is prepared to manage the main part of the special vehicle application information shown in Table 15 below, one [Vehicle Group Information Table] is prepared to manage the "Vehicle Registration Number" belonging to the "Special Vehicle Application Main Table" shown in Table 16 below for the number of vehicles, and one [OD Group Information Table] is prepared to manage the OD groups belonging to the "Special Vehicle Application Main Table" shown in Table 17 below (way points 1, ..., way point n in this table are set to ODs other than (the number of confirmed points - 2 (excluding O·D))) as way points) for the number of OD groups.

[0132] The [Special Vehicle Application Main Table] shown in Table 15 below uses the "Linkable Group ID" as the jurisdiction key.

[0133] [Special vehicle application main table] [Table 15]

[0134] The Vehicle Group Information Table shown in Table 16 below manages the "vehicle registration number" using the "linkable group ID" as the administrative key. It is also possible to use the "representative vehicle number" from the "Special Vehicle Online Application Manual" (Road Bureau, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, All Japan Trucking Association) as the jurisdiction key. However, if the "representative vehicle number" is used as the jurisdiction key, the impact of changes would be significant if the relevant special vehicle were to be scrapped, etc. Therefore, in this invention, a "linkable group ID" has been newly established as a logical number system.

[0135] [Vehicle fleet information table] [Table 16] Regarding the [Vehicle Group Information Table], a provisional concept of "connectable group ID" will be introduced, which will be used when forming a vehicle group before a formal special vehicle application is submitted.

[0136] [OD Group Information Table] [Table 17] Regarding the [OD group information table], a provisional concept of "linkable group ID" is introduced, which is used when configuring an OD group before a formal special vehicle application.

[0137] OD group information management targets all "location candidates" (hereinafter referred to as "confirmed bases") for trailers in a vehicle group. In this case, the frequency of long-term parking and stopping does not have an effect. This makes it possible to reliably manage a wide range of locations where trailers have parked and stopped for long periods of time as confirmed bases, without omitting any.

[0138] The OD group information is information that selects individual long-term parking and stopping points of trailers included in a vehicle group as fixed bases. The section managed as "OD" refers to a section where a tractor as a transportation means hitches a trailer as a storage means and travels while towing it. At the special vehicle application stage, it is the "route," but in dynamic management before the special vehicle application, it is straightforward to manage the "OD."

[0139] The corporate special vehicle related information DB is updated based on the initial registration information in the tables included in the company / base layer, the tables included in the vehicle layer, the tables included in the vehicle supplementary layer, and the tables included in the special vehicle application related layer, and based on at least one of the current probe information collected from the onboard device installed in the special vehicle and the probe information accumulated in the past.

[0140] The current probe information is real-time probe information acquired at predetermined transmission intervals from each on-board device mounted on the special vehicle. The accumulated past probe information is big data that is current probe information acquired in real time and accumulated for a predetermined period of time. The predetermined period is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, and may be, for example, about six months.

[0141] The probe information includes, for example, data items such as "Vehicle ID," "Route ID," "Location (Longitude, Latitude)," "Speed," "Departure Date and Time," "Departure Point (Longitude, Latitude)," "Arrival Date and Time," "Destination (Longitude, Latitude)," "Distance Traveled," and "Time Required," as shown in Table 18 below.

[0142] [Table 18]

[0143] The data item "Vehicle ID" is data for identifying the vehicle in which the on-board device is installed, and is set in advance. The data item "travel route ID" is used to identify a travel route, which is a unit of travel from a certain departure point to a certain destination with a purpose. The data items "date and time" and "location (longitude, latitude)" are acquired by a GPS (Global Positioning System) unit installed in each vehicle-mounted device. The "speed" data item is acquired from the vehicle's axles using a speed sensor installed in the vehicle, synchronized with the GPS unit. The data items "departure date and time" and "departure point (longitude, latitude)" are the departure date and time and the longitude and latitude of the departure point for the travel route. The data items "Arrival date and time" and "Destination (longitude, latitude)" are the arrival date and time of the travel route and the longitude and latitude of the destination. The data item "travel distance" is the travel distance from the starting point to the current location. The data item "travel time" is the time required to travel from the departure point to the current location.

[0144] Next, the information stored in the corporate special vehicle related information DB includes, for example, (i) static information that is registered initially, (ii) dynamic information that is verified in daily operations, (iii) information that is updated in quasi-real time, and (iv) information that is fed back as a detection result and candidate for correction information on a cycle of about six months.

[0145] The static information that is initially registered is saved in the tables contained in the <Vehicle Layer>, the <Vehicle Supplementary Layer>, and the <Special Vehicle Application Related Layer> at the time of initial registration (when operations start, companies / locations are added, vehicles are added, and special vehicle applications / changes are made). The information verified during daily operations is dynamically collected and automatically updated to ensure and verify the consistency and recency of the special vehicle-related information integrated during daily operations. In addition, to grasp the latest vehicle location information, the "Location Information" and "Latest Date and Time" in the [Motorcycle, Truck, Trailer Table] of the <Vehicle Layer> are updated sequentially during daily operations.

[0146] Here, in the corporate special vehicle related information DB, at the time of initial registration (when operations begin, companies / bases are added, vehicles are added, and special vehicle applications / changes are made), information is statically registered in the <Company / Base Layer>, <Vehicle Layer>, <Vehicle Supplementary Layer>, and <Special Vehicle Application Related Layer>.

[0147] Also, as shown in Figure 33, a process is performed to register information requested by a transport company and information provided by the AIRS service based on that request information in the corporate special vehicle related information DB (the solid lines in Figure 33 indicate that the information is stored at the time of this registration, but the dotted lines in Figure 33 indicate that the information is not stored at this time but is stored separately).The dashed dotted line from the company / base code indicates the "linkable group ID", which is not stored at this time but is stored separately.

[0148] During daily operation verification, information is automatically updated in the <Vehicle Layer> and <Special Vehicle Application Related Layer> based on the acquired probe information. Specifically, information on the "complete" status of the digital tachograph and GPS tracking device for the same connectable group ID in the [Vehicle Group Information Table] for tractors and trailers is collected and verified, and if it is verified that the status is properly "complete," the "Latest Verification Date and Time" is automatically updated in the [Motor Vehicle Table] or "Tractor Table" in the <Vehicle Layer> and the [Connectivity Review Table] in the <Special Vehicle Application Related Layer>.

[0149] In addition, during daily operation, the "location information" and "latest date and time" of the probe information acquired by the onboard digital tachograph, ETC2.0, and GPS capture device are saved as "latest location information" in the <vehicle layer>.

[0150] Here, referring to Figure 34, we will explain the relationship between the information in the "Motorcycle / Tractor / Trailer Table" in the <<Vehicle Layer>> and the information in the "Vehicle Inspection Certificate Table" and "Consolidation Review Table" in the <<Vehicle Supplementary Layer>>.

[0151] As shown in Figure 34, a search is made for the "Vehicle Registration Number" in the [Motorcycle, Tractor, Trailer Table] that matches the "Vehicle Registration Number" in the [Vehicle Inspection Certificate Table], "Miyazaki 100 or 1111." This finds the "Vehicle Registration Number" in the [Tractor Table] as "Miyazaki 100 or 1111," and from the [Tractor Table] it is found that the "Chassis Number" for the "Vehicle Registration Number" of "Miyazaki 100 or 1111" is "SH1EDX-1234." Next, by searching for the "Chassis Number" in the [Consolidation Consideration Document Table] that matches "Chassis Number" "SH1EDX-1234," the "Towing Vehicle" chassis number "SH1EDX-1234" is found, and from the [Consolidation Consideration Document Table] it is determined that the "Towed Vehicle" chassis number is "CTB34003-666," and the "Consolidation Possible Group ID" between the "Towing Vehicle" chassis number "SH1EDX-1234" and the "Towed Vehicle" chassis number "CTB34003-666" is "T-α·β·γ."

[0152] As shown in Figure 35, by specifying a temporary "connectable group ID" for the trailer for which a special vehicle application is being made, the route group information can be obtained through the special vehicle application process, the documents required for the special vehicle application can be created, the "connectable group ID" can be determined, and the required special vehicle application can be made at that time.

[0153] When applying for a special vehicle, the vehicle group and route group are required. The vehicle group and route group that are always linked to a certain trailer are already optimally managed as a fixed base using a temporary "linkable group ID" thanks to the optimal dynamic management function for vehicle group and OD group. The route group required when applying for a special vehicle is derived from a group of points that take into account the confirmed base and the vehicle depot of the company / base in question. As a method for this, a method for deriving an optimal route group from an "OD" (origin / destination) group has already been proposed (see, for example, Patent Publication No. 6237801).

[0154] (Trailer and tractor information display program) The trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention causes a computer to perform processing to present information on the trailer model and wheelbase, as well as information on the tractor model, wheelbase, and coupler offset value, which are necessary for special vehicle passage procedures.

[0155] The trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention can be, for example, a program that causes a computer to execute the trailer and tractor information presentation method of the present invention. Furthermore, a preferred aspect of the trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention can be, for example, the same as a preferred aspect of the trailer and tractor information presentation method of the present invention.

[0156] The trailer and tractor information display program of the present invention can be created using various known programming languages ​​depending on the configuration of the computer system used and the type and version of the operating system.

[0157] The trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention may be recorded on a recording medium such as an internal hard disk or an external hard disk, or on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, MO disk, or USB memory. Furthermore, when the trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention is recorded on the above-mentioned recording medium, it can be used directly or by installing it on a hard disk via a recording medium reader possessed by a computer system, as needed. The trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention may also be recorded in an external storage area (such as another computer) accessible from the computer system via an information and communication network. In this case, the trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention recorded in the external storage area can be used directly or by installing it on a hard disk from the external storage area via an information and communication network, as needed. The trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention may be divided into arbitrary processing parts and recorded on a plurality of recording media.

[0158] <Computer-readable recording medium> A computer-readable recording medium according to the present invention stores the trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention. There are no particular limitations on the computer-readable recording medium related to the present invention and it can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose. Examples include an internal hard disk, an external hard disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, an MO disk, and a USB memory. Furthermore, the computer-readable recording medium related to the present invention may be a plurality of recording media on which the trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention is recorded, divided into arbitrary processing units.

[0159] An example of the technology disclosed in the present invention will be described in more detail below using an example of the configuration of the device. FIG. 36 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the trailer and tractor information presentation device of the present invention.

[0160] The control unit 101 performs calculations (arithmetic operations, comparison operations, etc.), controls the operation of hardware and software, etc. The control unit 101 may be, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), or may be part of a machine used in the trailer and tractor information presentation method of the present invention, or may be a combination of these. The control unit 101 realizes various functions by executing a program (such as the trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention) loaded into the main storage device 102 or the like. The position information processing in the trailer and tractor information presentation device 100 of the present invention can be performed by the control unit 101, for example.

[0161] The main memory device 102 stores various programs and also stores data necessary for executing the various programs. The main memory device 102 may include, for example, at least one of a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The ROM stores various programs such as a BIOS (Basic Input / Output System), etc. There are no particular limitations on the ROM, and it can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, and examples include mask ROM and PROM (Programmable ROM). The RAM functions as a working area in which various programs stored in, for example, the ROM or the auxiliary storage device 103 are deployed when they are executed by the control unit 101. There are no particular limitations on the RAM, and it can be selected appropriately depending on the purpose, and examples thereof include DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and SRAM (Static Random Access Memory).

[0162] The auxiliary storage device 103 is not particularly limited as long as it can store various types of information and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, and examples include a solid state drive (SSD), a hard disk drive (HDD), etc. The auxiliary storage device 103 may also be a portable storage device such as a CD drive, a DVD drive, or a BD (Blu-ray (registered trademark) Disc) drive. Furthermore, the trailer and tractor information presentation program of the present invention is stored in the auxiliary storage device 103, loaded into the RAM (main memory) of the main storage device 102, and executed by the control unit 101, for example.

[0163] The I / O interface 104 is an interface for connecting various external devices, and enables input and output of data from, for example, a CD-ROM (Compact Disc ROM), a DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disk ROM), an MO disk (Magneto-Optical disk), a USB memory (USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash drive), and the like.

[0164] The communication interface 105 is not particularly limited, and any known interface may be used as appropriate, such as a wireless or wired communication device.

[0166] The output device 107 is not particularly limited, and any known device can be used as appropriate, such as a printer. The display device 108 is not particularly limited, and any known display device can be used as appropriate, such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display.

[0167] FIG. 37 shows an example of the functional configuration of the trailer and tractor information presentation device 100 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 37, the trailer and tractor information presentation device 100 of the present invention includes a communication function unit 120, an input function unit 130, an output function unit 140, a display function unit 150, a memory function unit 160, and a control function unit 170.

[0168] The communication function unit 120 transmits and receives various types of data to and from external devices, for example, and may receive data such as probe information from external devices, for example. The input function unit 130 receives, for example, various instructions for the trailer and tractor information presentation device 100 of the present invention. The input function unit 130 also receives, for example, probe information from a storage means (trailer, etc.) and a transport means (tractor, etc.). The output function unit 140 prints out, for example, information relating to the determined vehicle group and information relating to the determined OD group. The display function unit 150 displays, for example, information relating to the determined vehicle group and information relating to the determined OD group on a display.

[0169] The storage function unit 160 stores, for example, various programs, and also has a company special vehicle (trailer or tractor) related information DB 161, a vehicle group information DB 162, and an OD group information DB 163. The corporate special vehicle related information DB is a DB that stores information on tables in the company / base layer, vehicle layer, vehicle supplementary layer, special vehicle application related layer, and detection result layer. The vehicle group information DB is a DB that stores information about a confirmed vehicle group. The OD group information DB is a DB that stores information about the determined OD group.

[0170] The control function unit 170 has a special vehicle passage procedure information presentation unit 171, a trailer / tractor information acquisition unit 172, and an operation possibility presentation unit 173. The control function unit 170 executes, for example, various programs stored in the memory function unit 160, and controls the overall operation of the trailer / tractor information presentation device 100 of the present invention.

[0171] The control function unit 170 further includes a trailer-tractor information group reference unit, a designated combination candidate presentation unit, a relationship presentation unit, and the like, all of which are not shown. [Example]

[0172] Examples of the present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to these examples in any way.

[0173] (Model settings) In this example, the 1-1-2 type (the type illustrated in FIG. 5A) of the vehicle schematic diagrams of the trailer and tractor coupled state shown in FIG. 6 was studied.

[0174] (Logic explanation) The common logic in each scene will be explained below. In each of "1", "2", and "3" in Figures 13 and 14, Figures 38, 39, and 40 function, respectively.

[0175] In FIG. 38, the processing of the pre-processing application target (trailer) will be described. First, AIRIS information is received and confirmed for all trailers that are "subject to pre-processing applications."

[0176] In step 11, if advance processing applications have not been completed for all of the target trailers, the process proceeds to step 12, and if advance processing applications have been completed for all of the target trailers, the process ends normally.

[0177] In step 12, if the trailer manufacturer is not an affiliated manufacturer, the process proceeds to step 13; if the trailer manufacturer is an affiliated manufacturer, the process proceeds to step 14.

[0178] In step 13, the parameter input is confirmed, and if it has been input, the process proceeds to step 14, and if it has not been input, an error is displayed.

[0179] In step 14, it is confirmed whether the trailer is a lift axle specification, and after considering the location where the axle load information is obtained, the information required for the special vehicle passage procedure is collected and determined and stored in the trailer table.

[0180] In FIG. 39, the processing of the immediately preceding processing application target (tractor) will be described. First, receive and confirm AIRIS information for all tractors that are "subject to pre-processing applications."

[0181] In step 21, if advance processing applications have not been completed for all of the target tractors, the process proceeds to step 22, and if advance processing applications have been completed for all of the target tractors, the process ends normally.

[0182] In step 22, it is confirmed whether coupler offset information has been entered into the parameters of the tractor. If coupler offset information has been entered, the process proceeds to step 223; if coupler offset information has not been entered, an error is displayed.

[0183] In step 23, if the manufacturer of the tractor is not an affiliated manufacturer, the process proceeds to step 24, and if the manufacturer of the tractor is an affiliated manufacturer, the information required for the special vehicle passage procedure is collected and determined and stored in the tractor table.

[0184] In step 24, the parameter input is checked, and if it has been input, the information required for the special vehicle passage procedure is collected and determined and stored in the tractor table, and if it has not been input, an error is displayed.

[0185] In FIG. 40, the processing of the actual processing application (tractor and trailer) will be explained. First, for all tractor and trailer combinations subject to "actual processing application," the identity of axle types (total number of axles on the tractor and trailer, number of front axles on the tractor, number of rear axles on the trailer) and maximum minimum turning radius are calculated.

[0186] In step 31, the validity of the axle weights (front and rear axles, rear-front axles) is confirmed for all tractors, and if the validity cannot be confirmed, the processing proceeds to step 32.If the validity is confirmed, the special vehicle application main table and the vehicle fleet information table are output, and the processing ends normally.

[0187] In step 32, it is confirmed that the front and rear axle load (A-AN) = 0 and the rear-front axle load (A-AO) = 0 are confirmed, and if confirmed, the process proceeds to step 33, and if not confirmed, an error is displayed. As mentioned above, the model setting uses the 1-1-2 type (the type exemplified in FIG. 5A) of the vehicle schematic diagram of the trailer and tractor connected state shown in FIG. 6, so the number of axles on the tractor is 1 for the front axle and 1 for the rear axle, and an error is displayed unless the front and rear axle loads of the tractor are 0 and the rear-front axle loads are 0.

[0188] In step 33, for all trailers for each tractor, check the consistency of the axle type (front axle and rear axle of the trailer). If it can be confirmed, transfer the process to step 31. If it cannot be confirmed, transfer the process to step 34.

[0189] In step 34, check that the axle configuration front wheel axle number (W-N) = 0 and the axle configuration rear wheel axle number (W-O) = 2. If it can be confirmed, calculate the minimum turning radius (C-R) at the time of connection provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and transfer the process to step 35. If it cannot be confirmed, display an error. As described above, as a model setting, among the vehicle schematic diagrams of the connection state of the trailer and the tractor shown in FIG. 6, the 1-1-2 type (the type illustrated in FIG. 5A) is adopted. Therefore, if the number of axles of the trailer is not the front wheel axle number = 0 and the rear wheel axle number = 2, an error is displayed.

[0190] In step 35, for all trailers for each tractor, calculate the minimum turning radius, and transfer the process to step 33. For all combinations of the target tractors and trailers, calculate the minimum turning radius (C-R) at the time of connection. In order to obtain the maximum value as P-minimum turning, store "0" at the beginning. When P-minimum turning < C-R, store the current C-R as a candidate for the maximum value in P-minimum turning.
