Vehicle delivery management device and vehicle delivery management method

Abstract

To provide a technology that can avoid a situation in which vehicles of users are stuck at a getting-on / off area of a parking lot when passengers on an airplane having arrived at an airport are users of the same parking lot, and the users request to take the vehicles out of the parking lot in the same time zone.SOLUTION: When a vehicle exit management device accepts an exit request from a passenger on an airplane for a vehicle parked in a parking lot, the vehicle exit management device performs a process for setting a time zone with respect to an automatic exit of the vehicle of the passenger. Also, in the process of setting the time zone, in the case where the vehicle exit management device accepts at least two exit requests, when the time zones performing an automatic exit with respect to two or more vehicles which are targets of two or more exit requests overlap with each other, the vehicle exit management device predicts an arrival order of passengers at a parking lot corresponding to the two or more exit requests whose time zones overlap with each other. Moreover, the vehicle exit management device determines an order in which the at least two vehicles automatically exit according to the arrival order.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-111767 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Consider an airport parking lot. The users of this parking lot are assumed to be airport users, typically passengers of airplanes departing from or arriving at the airport. Consider a case where some of the passengers of an airplane arriving at the airport are also users of the parking lot. In this case, if these users try to leave their vehicles at the same time, the leaving process will be concentrated.

[0005] Therefore, when passengers on the same airplane are users of the same parking lot and these users make vehicle retrieval reservations (retrieval requests) during the same time period, the retrieval process can be performed in the order of the retrieval requests. In this case, for example, a vehicle belonging to a user who makes an early retrieval request despite disembarking late from a certain airplane may be subject to retrieval before a vehicle belonging to a user who disembarks early from the same airplane. Alternatively, a vehicle belonging to a user who makes an early retrieval request despite having other plans besides retrieving the vehicle, such as picking up luggage after disembarking from a certain airplane, may be subject to retrieval before a vehicle belonging to a user who makes a late retrieval request despite not having such plans. Therefore, a method of performing retrieval process in the order of retrieval requests may result in users' vehicles being backed up at the parking lot's boarding and disembarking areas.

[0006] One objective of the present disclosure is to provide technology that can prevent a situation in which users' vehicles are stranded at a parking lot boarding area when some of the passengers on an airplane arriving at an airport are users of the same parking lot and these users request that their vehicles be removed at the same time. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A first aspect of the present disclosure relates to a device (vehicle exit management device) for managing the exit of vehicles from an airport parking lot. The vehicle exit management device includes a processor. When a request for exit of a vehicle belonging to a passenger on an airplane whose destination is the airport and which is currently parked in the parking lot is received, the processor performs a process for setting a time period for automatic exit of the passenger's vehicle. In addition, in the process for setting the time period, the processor , out At least two inventory requests have been received , and determines whether at least two retrieval requests are retrieval requests from passengers on the same plane whose destination is the airport. When at least two retrieval requests are received, the processor determines whether the time periods for automatic retrieval of at least two vehicles that are the subject of the at least two retrieval requests overlap. Furthermore, when it is determined that at least two retrieval requests are retrieval requests from passengers on the same plane whose destination is the airport, and When the time periods for automatic retrieval of at least two vehicles that are the subject of at least two retrieval requests overlap, It was judged In this case, the processor predicts the arrival order of passengers corresponding to at least two retrieval requests that overlap in time slots at the parking lot. Furthermore, in the process of setting the time slots, the processor determines the order in which at least two vehicles will be automatically retrieving the vehicles according to the arrival order.

[0008] A second aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for managing vehicle departure from an airport parking lot (vehicle departure management method). The vehicle departure management method includes, when a request for departure is received for a vehicle belonging to a passenger on an airplane whose destination is the airport and which is currently parked in the parking lot, performing a process for setting a time period for automatic departure of the passenger's vehicle; , out At least two inventory requests have been received determining whether at least two retrieval requests are from passengers of the same plane whose destination is the airport; when at least two retrieval requests are received, determining whether time periods for automatic retrieval of at least two vehicles that are the subject of the at least two retrieval requests overlap; and determining that at least two retrieval requests are from passengers of the same plane whose destination is the airport; and When the time periods for automatic retrieval of at least two vehicles that are the subject of at least two retrieval requests overlap, It was judged This includes predicting the order of arrival at the parking lot of passengers corresponding to at least two retrieval requests that overlap in time slots, and determining the order of automatic retrieval of at least two vehicles according to the order of arrival in the process of setting the time slots. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present disclosure, when the time periods for automatic retrieval of two or more vehicles used by airline passengers overlap, the order in which passengers responding to the retrieval requests for these vehicles will arrive at the parking lot is predicted. The order in which the two or more vehicles will be automatically retrieving is then determined according to this arrival order. Therefore, even when the time periods for automatic retrieval of two or more vehicles overlap, passengers can use the vehicles in order, starting with the passengers who arrive at the parking lot first. This makes it possible to prevent vehicles from being backed up at the parking lot's boarding and disembarking areas. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A vehicle departure management device and a vehicle departure management method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] 1. First Embodiment 1-1. Overview FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overview of a vehicle exit management device 1 according to a first embodiment. The vehicle exit management device 1 is a device that manages the exit of vehicles entering an airport parking lot. Vehicles entering the parking lot include vehicles used by passengers of airplanes arriving at the airport after disembarking. Examples of such vehicles include vehicles with an automatic exit function. An example of a vehicle with an automatic exit function is an AVP (Automated Valet Parking) vehicle. An AVP vehicle may be an automatically driven vehicle or a manually driven vehicle.

[0013] When a vehicle retrieval request is received from an airplane passenger before disembarking, the vehicle retrieval management device 1 sets a time period for automatic retrieval of the passenger's vehicle. The retrieval request includes a desired boarding time. The passenger inputs the desired boarding time at the time of retrieval. Examples of the desired boarding time input by the passenger include 20 minutes after the plane's arrival time, or between 14:00 and 14:15. The time period for automatic retrieval may be, for example, a time period set based on the desired boarding time, or a time period predicted based on the plane's flight information (scheduled arrival time). Passengers can change their retrieval request before disembarking. The time period for automatic retrieval is set, for example, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the passenger disembarked.

[0014] Consider a case where the vehicle departure management device 1 receives at least two departure requests from some of the passengers on the same plane. In this case, the vehicle departure management device 1 sets a time period during which at least two or more vehicles corresponding to the at least two departure requests will be automatically departed. In the example shown in FIG. 1(A), when departure requests (departure request A, departure request B, departure request C, departure request D, and departure request E) are received from passengers A, B, C, D, and E, who are some of the passengers on the same plane, time periods during which the vehicles corresponding to each departure request (vehicle A, vehicle B, vehicle C, vehicle D, and vehicle E) will be automatically departed are set.

[0015] When the current time is a time slot for automatic retrieval, the vehicle retrieval management device 1 issues a retrieval instruction to the vehicle corresponding to that time slot. The retrieval instruction means an instruction to park the vehicle currently in the parking lot at the parking lot loading / unloading area.

[0016] Here, consider a case where some passengers on the same airplane are users of the same parking lot, and time periods for automatic retrieval are set in accordance with at least two retrieval requests received from these passengers. In this case, it is assumed that the time periods for automatic retrieval overlap. For example, as shown in FIG. 1(A), vehicle A used by passenger A, vehicle B used by passenger B, vehicle C used by passenger C, and vehicle D used by passenger D are parked in the same parking lot. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1(B), the time periods for automatic retrieval set in accordance with the retrieval requests received from these passengers are, for example, 14:00 to 14:15 (the time period for automatic retrieval of vehicle A), 13:55 to 14:10 (the time period for automatic retrieval of vehicle B), 14:00 to 14:15 (the time period for automatic retrieval of vehicle C), and 14:30 to 14:45 (the time period for automatic retrieval of vehicle D). At this time, the time periods during which vehicles A, B, and C automatically leave the garage overlap.

[0017] Therefore, the vehicle departure management device 1 predicts the order in which passengers corresponding to departure requests that overlap with the time periods in which automatic departure will be performed will arrive at the parking lot boarding / departing point. Then, the vehicle departure management device 1 determines the order in which vehicles will be automatically released according to the order of arrival. For example, as shown in FIG. 1(B), if the order in which passengers will arrive at the parking lot is predicted to be passenger C, passenger A, and passenger B, automatic release will be performed in the order of vehicle C, vehicle A, and vehicle B. The arrival order in which passengers will arrive at the parking lot boarding / departing point will be described in detail below.

[0018] 1-2.Specific examples 1-2-1.Configuration example 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the vehicle depot departure management device 1 according to Embodiment 1. The vehicle depot departure management device 1 includes an information processing device 10 and a communication device 40.

[0019] The information processing device 10 is a computer that executes at least a process for setting a time period during which vehicles used by passengers will automatically leave the parking lot. The information processing device 10 includes one or more processors 20 (hereinafter simply referred to as processor 20) and one or more storage devices 30 (hereinafter simply referred to as storage devices 30). The processor 20 executes various processes. An example of the processor 20 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The storage device 30 stores various information required for processing by the processor 20. Examples of the storage device 30 include a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), etc.

[0020] The various information stored in the storage device 30 includes passenger seat position information 31, passenger baggage storage information 32, passenger attribute information 33, and a vehicle depot management program (not shown). The passenger attribute information 33 also includes information on the presence or absence of passengers of a certain age (small children, elderly people), the presence or absence of disabled persons, etc. The passenger seat position information 31, passenger baggage storage information 32, and passenger attribute information 33 are, for example, passenger registration information managed by an airline.

[0021] The vehicle leaving management program is a computer program executed by the processor 20. The functions of the information processing device 10 are realized by the processor 20 executing the vehicle leaving management program. The vehicle leaving management program may be stored in the storage device 30, may be stored in a memory built into the processor 20, or may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium.

[0022] The communication device 40 communicates with the outside of the vehicle depot management device 1. For example, the communication device 40 communicates with a user terminal used by an airplane passenger or a vehicle used by the passenger.

[0023] 1-2-2. Example of arrival order prediction As described above, the vehicle departure management device 1 predicts the arrival order based on at least two departure requests whose time periods for automatic departure overlap. Specifically, the vehicle departure management device 1 predicts the time required for passengers to move from disembarking to a parking lot stop based on at least one of passenger seat position information 31, passenger baggage storage information 32, and passenger attribute information 33 corresponding to the departure request. The vehicle departure management device 1 then predicts the arrival order based on the required time. The required time is the minimum time required for passengers to move from disembarking to a parking lot stop plus a delay from the minimum time. The minimum time is a time preset according to the airplane exit. The minimum time is expressed as 10 minutes, for example. In other words, the delay time is predicted based on at least one of passenger seat position information 31, passenger baggage storage information 32, and passenger attribute information 33. The minimum time is the time at which the delay time is 0 [min]. An example of delay time prediction will be described in detail below.

[0024] FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of the vehicle departure management device 1 according to the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 3 shows details of an example of a delay time prediction used to predict the order in which passengers will arrive at a parking lot loading / unloading area. Here, factors of the delay time will be considered. The delay time includes a first delay time 51, a second delay time 52, and a third delay time 53. In other words, the delay time (total delay time 60) is expressed as the sum of the first delay time 51, the second delay time 52, and the third delay time 53.

[0025] The first delay time 51 is predicted based on the passenger's seat position information 31. For example, as shown in Fig. 3(A), the first delay time 51 becomes shorter as the passenger's seat position is closer to the exit of the aircraft, and becomes longer as the passenger's seat position is farther from the exit of the aircraft.

[0026] In the example shown in FIG. 3(A), when the seat position is closest to the exit of the airplane, as shown in Case 1, the first delay time 51 is 0 [min]. On the other hand, when the seat position is farthest from the exit of the airplane, as shown in Case 5, the first delay time 51 is 15 [min]. In other words, if the vehicle departure management device 1 predicts the arrival order based only on the first delay time 51, passengers seated near the exit of the airplane will arrive earlier than passengers seated farthest from the exit.

[0027] The second delay time 52 is predicted based on the passenger's baggage storage information 32. For example, as shown in FIG. 3(B), the second delay time 52 is shorter when there is no baggage storage and is longer when there is baggage storage. Furthermore, the second delay time 52 is shorter when there is baggage storage and priority baggage collection, and is longer when there is baggage storage and priority baggage collection. Note that information regarding whether priority baggage collection is available is included in the passenger's baggage storage information 32.

[0028] In the example shown in FIG. 3(B), as shown in Case 1, when there is no baggage to be checked in, the second delay time 52 is 0 [min]. On the other hand, as shown in Case 2, when there is baggage to be checked in and there is priority baggage collection, the second delay time 52 is 5 [min]. Furthermore, as shown in Case 3, when there is baggage to be checked in but there is no priority baggage collection, the second delay time 52 is 15 [min]. In other words, if the vehicle departure management device 1 predicts the arrival order based only on the second delay time 52, passengers with baggage to be checked in will arrive later than passengers without baggage to be checked in. Furthermore, passengers with baggage to be checked in but without priority baggage collection will arrive later than passengers with priority baggage collection.

[0029] The third delay time 53 is predicted based on at least one of the information on the presence or absence of passengers of a predetermined age (small children, elderly people) and the information on the presence or absence of disabled people included in the passenger attribute information 33. For example, as shown in FIG. 3(C), the third delay time 53 is predicted based on the information on the presence or absence of disabled people included in the passenger attribute information 33. long If the passenger or passenger's companion is not of the specified age, Short The third delay time 53 is shorter when the passenger or the passenger's companion is not disabled, and is longer when the passenger or the passenger's companion is disabled.

[0030] In the example shown in FIG. 3(C), as shown in Case 1, if the passenger or the passenger's companion is a small child, an elderly person, or a disabled person, the third delay time 53 is 0 [min]. Furthermore, as shown in Case 2, if the passenger or the passenger's companion is a small child or an elderly person, the third delay time 53 is 10 [min]. Furthermore, as shown in Case 3, if the passenger or the passenger's companion is a disabled person, the third delay time 53 is 20 [min]. In other words, if the vehicle departure management device 1 predicts the arrival order based only on the third delay time 53, if the passenger or the passenger's companion is a small child, an elderly person, or a disabled person, the passenger or the passenger's companion will arrive later than passengers who are not a small child, an elderly person, or a disabled person.

[0031] FIG. 4(A) is a diagram showing an example of calculation of total delay time 60 for each passenger. For example, if passenger A's first delay time 51 is 3 [min], second delay time 52 is 5 [min], and third delay time 53 is 10 [min], the total delay time 60 for passenger A is 18 [min]. The total delay time 60 for passenger B and the total delay time 60 for passenger C are calculated in the same manner as the total delay time 60 for passenger A. In the example shown in FIG. 4(B), the total delay time 60 for passenger B is 25 [min], and the total delay time 60 for passenger C is 5 [min].

[0032] Figure 4(B) is a diagram showing an example of calculation of the required time for each passenger. In the example shown in Figure 4(B), if the shortest time is 10 [min], the required time for passenger A is 28 [min], the required time for passenger B is 35 [min], and the required time for passenger C is 15 [min]. In this case, the order of arrival at the parking lot boarding and disembarking area will be passenger C, passenger A, and passenger B.

[0033] Then, the vehicle leaving management device 1 determines that the vehicles will be automatically removed in the order of vehicle C, vehicle A, and vehicle B, in accordance with the order of arrival.

[0034] In this way, when the time periods for automatic retrieval of two or more vehicles used by airline passengers overlap, the vehicle retrieval management device 1 according to the first embodiment predicts the order in which passengers responding to the retrieval requests for these vehicles will arrive at the parking lot. The order in which the two or more vehicles will be automatically retrieving is then determined according to this arrival order. Therefore, even when the time periods for automatic retrieval of two or more vehicles overlap, passengers can use the vehicles in order, starting with the passengers who arrived at the parking lot first. This makes it possible to prevent vehicles from becoming stranded at the parking lot's boarding and disembarking areas.

[0035] 1-3. Processing example FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the information processing device 10 in the vehicle depot departure management device 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0036] In step S100, the information processing device 10 determines whether two or more retrieval requests have been received from passengers before disembarking. If it is determined that two or more retrieval requests have been received from passengers before disembarking (step S100; Yes), the process proceeds to step S110. Otherwise (step S100; No), the process proceeds to step S150.

[0037] In step S110, the information processing device 10 determines whether the time periods for automatic retrieval set in accordance with the retrieval request overlap. If it is determined that the time periods for automatic retrieval overlap (step S110; Yes), the process proceeds to step S120. Otherwise (step S110; No), the process proceeds to step S150.

[0038] In step S120, the information processing device 10 predicts the order in which passengers will arrive at the boarding and disembarking area of the parking lot. Then, the process proceeds to step S130.

[0039] In step S130, the information processing device 10 determines the order of delivery according to the order of arrival, after which the process proceeds to step S140.

[0040] In step S140, the information processing device 10 sets a time period for automatic leaving the garage. After that, the process proceeds to step S150.

[0041] In step S150, if the current time is within the time slot for automatic departure, the information processing device 10 executes an instruction to the passenger's vehicle to leave the garage.

[0042] 2. Second Embodiment According to the vehicle retrieval management device 1 of the second embodiment, the retrieval request received from an airplane passenger further includes facility use plan information 34 after the passenger disembarks. If the passenger plans to use facilities in the airport after disembarking, the facility use plan information 34 after the passenger disembarks is information input by the passenger at the time of retrieval, such as information on whether the passenger will use the facility and information on the time period for facility use.

[0043] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the vehicle departure management device 1 according to the second embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 6 shows details of an example of a delay time prediction used to predict the order in which passengers will arrive at a parking lot loading / unloading area. The vehicle departure management device 1 according to the second embodiment further includes a fourth delay time 54 as a factor of delay time. Therefore, the total delay time 60 is expressed as the sum of the first delay time 51, the second delay time 52, the third delay time 53, and the fourth delay time 54.

[0044] The fourth delay time 54 is predicted based on, for example, at least one of information on whether or not a facility will be used and information on the time period during which the facility will be used, which are included in the facility use schedule information 34 after passengers disembark. In the example shown in Fig. 6(A), the fourth delay time 54 is shorter when the facility is not being used and longer when the facility is being used. Furthermore, the fourth delay time 54 is shorter when the facility is being used and the time period during which the facility is being used is shorter, and longer when the facility is being used and the time period during which the facility is being used is longer.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in Case 1 of FIG. 6(A), when there is no facility use, the fourth delay time 54 is 0 [min]. On the other hand, as shown in Case 2 of FIG. 6(A), when there is facility use and the time slot for facility use input by the passenger at the time of departure request is 1 to 20 [min], the fourth delay time 54 is 20 [min], which is the maximum value for the time slot for facility use. Cases 3 and onward of FIG. 6(A) are calculated in the same manner as Case 2. Note that, in the example shown in FIG. 6(A), the time slot for facility use is divided into 20-minute time slots, but this is not limited to this and may be set as appropriate.

[0046] 6(B) is a diagram showing an example of calculation of total delay time 60 for each passenger. For example, if passenger B's first delay time 51 is 10 [min], second delay time 52 is 15 [min], third delay time 53 is 0 [min], and fourth delay time 54 is 20 [min], then total delay time 60 for passenger B is 45 [min]. Total delay time 60 for passenger A and total delay time 60 for passenger C are calculated in the same way as total delay time 60 for passenger B.

[0047] Figure 6(C) is a diagram showing an example of calculation of the required time for each passenger. In the example shown in Figure 6(C), if the shortest time is 10 [min], the required time for passenger A will be 28 [min], the required time for passenger B will be 55 [min], and the required time for passenger C will be 75 [min]. In this case, the order of arrival at the parking lot boarding and disembarking area will be passenger A, passenger B, and passenger C.

[0048] Then, the vehicle leaving management device 1 determines that the vehicles will be automatically removed in the order of vehicle A, vehicle B, and vehicle C, in accordance with the order of arrival.

[0049] In this way, with the vehicle departure management device 1 according to the second embodiment, if passengers input their plans for using facilities after disembarking when making a departure request, the arrival order is predicted based on the delay time that takes into account the use of facilities after disembarking. This further improves the accuracy of the arrival order prediction. Therefore, it becomes possible to prevent vehicles from being stranded at the boarding and disembarking areas of the parking lot.

[0050] 3. Other embodiments When passengers of the same plane use vehicles parked in the same parking lot, it is expected that there is a higher possibility that vehicles will be stranded at the parking lot's boarding and disembarking area during a time period when passengers disembark without using facilities within the airport and then automatically release the vehicle compared to a time period when passengers disembark and then use facilities within the airport and then automatically release the vehicle. In this case, a special benefit may be given to passengers who use vehicles after passengers disembark and then use facilities within the airport as a contribution to reducing the number of vehicles stranded at the parking lot's boarding and disembarking area.

[0051] According to the vehicle departure management device 1 of other embodiments, if a passenger inputs a facility usage plan after disembarking when making a departure request, the passenger is given bonus information (points, etc.). The points given to the passenger may be set to be higher, for example, the longer the time period during which the passenger uses the facility. [Explanation of symbols]
