[0011] A logistics management system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each of the attached drawings, identical or similar elements are given identical or similar reference symbols and names, and duplicate descriptions of identical or similar elements may be omitted in the description of the embodiment. Note that the contents shown in each drawing are merely examples for explaining the present embodiment, and are merely schematic examples for ease of explanation of the present embodiment. The contents of each drawing may be modified or changed within the scope of no technical problem.

[0012] <System Overview> FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an example of logistics management in this embodiment. FIG. 1 shows an example of international logistics, in which a package is stored in a domestic port warehouse on the way from a shipper to a consignee, and is then shipped out after passing through customs procedures, and is then sent to the local site by air or sea transport, and is then delivered to the consignee by truck. In the logistics management system of this embodiment, an automatic recognition code is affixed to the package. At each logistics base (tracking point), the automatic recognition code of the package is read by a work terminal such as a smartphone, and the package is tracked. The automatic recognition code is an electronic code applied to automatic recognition technology (technology for mechanically reading data such as ID and various information without human intervention), and the automatic recognition code may be a one-dimensional code (e.g., a barcode), a two-dimensional code (e.g., a QR code (registered trademark)), or a wireless tag (IC tag) such as an RFID, in which predetermined information is encoded.

[0013] In recent years, interest in environmental issues such as global warming has increased more than ever before due to the proposal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in the field of logistics, management of emissions of environmentally hazardous substances associated with transportation is also required. However, when multiple transport companies and / or multiple transport means are involved in the logistics process from the shipper to the consignee, as in the case of international logistics shown in Figure 1, it is not easy to grasp the overall amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted during the series of logistics processes for each piece of luggage (from the entrance (shipper) to the exit (consignee)).

[0014] In the logistics management system of this embodiment, input items for calculating the amount of emissions of environmentally hazardous substances are set in advance in association with each logistics base in the logistics process until the package reaches the consignee. In other words, input items related to the amount of emissions of environmentally hazardous substances are set for each logistics base so that different information can be input for each logistics base. Then, at each logistics base, input of the items set for each logistics base (input items related to the amount of emissions of environmentally hazardous substances) is accepted from a work terminal that has read the automatic recognition code, so that the amount of emissions of environmentally hazardous substances associated with transportation between each base can be calculated. In other words, in the logistics management system of this embodiment, by reading the automatic recognition code, tracking of each package is performed, and the amount of emissions of environmentally hazardous substances corresponding to each package is also tracked.

[0015] In addition, environmentally hazardous substances are substances that cause environmental loads and are emitted from transportation means (trucks, trains, airplanes, ships, and other moving bodies). For example, greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), and nitrogen oxides (NO X ), sulfur oxides (SO X Examples of environmental load substances include CO2 emissions, which are factors that cause air pollution, and particulate matter (PM). In this embodiment, the case where CO2 emissions are tracked as environmental load substances is exemplified. However, the environmental load substances that are the subject of tracking in the logistics management system of this embodiment are not necessarily limited to CO2, and the system can be applied to tracking various environmental load substances as described above.

[0016] 2, the logistics management system includes a server device 20. The server device 20 is communicably connected to a work terminal 10 held by a worker 1 via a communication network 30. The communication network 30 is, for example, the Internet, and may be constructed using a public telephone line network, a mobile phone line network, a wireless communication path, Ethernet (registered trademark), or the like.

[0017] The work terminal 10 held by the worker 1 is, for example, a computer such as a smartphone. As the work terminal 10, various computers such as tablet computers and personal computers may be adopted in addition to smartphones. The worker 1 is a person who inputs data into an input form described later, and examples of such a person include a person in charge of each logistics base and a person in charge of a driver belonging to a transport company that transports data to each logistics base. In FIG. 2, one worker 1 and work terminal 10 are illustrated, but depending on the number of logistics bases, the work terminals 10 of multiple workers 1 are connected to the server device 20 via a communication network 30 so as to be able to communicate with the server device 20. In this embodiment, the work terminal 10 has a device for reading an automatic recognition code, such as a camera or an RFID reader, and is capable of reading information encoded in the automatic recognition code. The device for reading the automatic recognition code may be built into the work terminal 10, or may be externally connected to the work terminal 10.

[0018] The server device 20 is a computer that manages logistics. The server device 20 may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer, or may be logically realized by cloud computing.

[0019] <Server device 20> FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the server device 20. Note that the illustrated configuration is an example, and other configurations may be used. The server device 20 includes a CPU 201, a memory 202, a storage device 203, a communication interface 204, an input device 205, and an output device 206. The storage device 203 is, for example, a hard disk drive, a solid state drive, or a flash memory that stores various data and programs. The communication interface 204 is an interface for connecting to the communication network 30, and is, for example, an adapter for connecting to Ethernet (registered trademark), a modem for connecting to a public telephone line network, a wireless communication device for wireless communication, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector or an RS232C connector for serial communication, etc. The input device 205 is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, a button, a microphone, etc. that input data. The output device 206 is, for example, a display, a printer, a speaker, etc. that output data. Each functional unit of the server device 20 described below is realized by the CPU 201 reading a program stored in the storage device 203 into the memory 202 and executing it, and each storage unit (database) of the server device 20 is realized as part of the storage area provided by the memory 202 and the storage device 203.

[0020] 4 is a diagram showing an example of the software configuration of the server device 20. The server device 20 can include, for example, a specific information receiving unit 211, a form output unit 212, an input unit 213, an emission amount calculation unit 214, a setting unit 215, a code issuing unit 216, an input item storage unit 231, a calculation method storage unit 232, a tracking database 233, and an authority storage unit 234.

[0021] <Storage unit of server device 20> The input item storage unit 231 stores input items in association with packages and logistics bases. The input item storage unit 231 can include, for example, a setting information storage unit 2311 and a package information storage unit 2312.

[0022] The setting information storage unit 2311 stores information related to the settings for each logistics base (hereinafter referred to as setting information). In this embodiment, a series of logistics bases included in the path of a package from a shipper to a consignee is collectively referred to as a project. The setting information storage unit 2311 stores setting information for each logistics base belonging to a project.

[0023] The setting information for each logistics base can include a base ID, base name, consolidation flag, deconsolidation flag, next base ID, person in charge flag, notification information, location information settings, image settings, electronic signature settings, settings related to emissions of environmentally harmful substances, as well as multiple input items, all associated with a project ID that identifies the project.

[0024] The base ID is information that identifies a logistics base. The consolidation flag and deconsolidation flag are information that indicates whether consolidation and deconsolidation of packages are possible at the logistics base. The next base ID is information that indicates the next logistics base of the logistics base. The person in charge flag is information that sets whether or not to set a person in charge. The notification information is information that sets whether or not to notify the person in charge of the next logistics base. The notification information can be set to notify no, notify by SMS, notify by email, etc. The location information setting is information that sets whether or not to include location information as an input item. The image setting is information that sets whether or not to include an image as an input item. The electronic signature setting is information that sets whether or not to include an electronic signature as an input item.

[0025] The setting regarding the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances is information for setting input items necessary for calculating the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances accompanying transportation from a previous logistics base to a target logistics base (logistics base with a base ID associated with the setting) or transportation from the target logistics base to a next logistics base (logistics base with a next base ID). More specifically, the setting regarding the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances may include at least one calculation method (calculation formula) of the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances and input items corresponding to the calculation method. For example, the calculation method of CO2 emissions may include the conventional ton-kilometer method, the improved ton-kilometer method, the fuel method, and the fuel consumption method, and at least one calculation method is selected from these calculation methods for each logistics base and stored in the setting information storage unit 2311 as the setting information of each logistics base. In addition, input items necessary for deriving the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances by the calculation method are determined according to the selected calculation method, and the input items are stored in the setting information storage unit 2311 as the setting information of each logistics base. Examples of input items corresponding to the calculation method include an input item related to the selection of the vehicle type or transportation method used for transportation, an input item related to the selection of the type of fuel or electricity consumed during transportation, transportation weight, transportation distance, loading rate, fuel consumption, etc. Furthermore, the setting related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances may include information for setting whether or not the input of items related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances is mandatory at the target logistics base.

[0026] Any other input items can be set in the setting information storage unit 2311. The other input items can include the type of input control in the form (for example, a text box, a radio button, a check box, a calendar, etc.) and the name of the input control (variable name).

[0027] The package information storage unit 2312 manages the project to which the package belongs. The package information storage unit 2312 stores a project ID indicating the project to which the package belongs, in association with a package ID that identifies each package. The package information storage unit 2312 may also store IDs of multiple logistics bases (base IDs) that belong to the project, in association with each package ID. In the logistics management system of this embodiment, an automatic identification code is issued for each package, and records are added to the package information storage unit 2312 for the number of automatic identification codes issued.

[0028] The calculation method storage unit 232 stores fixed values ​​required to calculate the emission amount (unit: t-CO2) of environmental load substances. As will be described later, at each logistics base, information corresponding to the input items related to the emission amount of environmental load substances set in the input item storage unit 231 is input, and based on this input information, the emission calculation unit 214 calculates the emission amount of environmental load substances associated with transportation to each logistics base. The calculation method storage unit 232 stores, for each calculation method, a calculation formula (calculation formula into which input values ​​are substituted) required to calculate this emission amount, and a database of emission coefficients (emission unit values) used in the calculation formula.

[0029] For example, when tracking CO2 emissions, the calculation method storage unit 232 stores a database of calculation formulas and emission coefficients (basic units) corresponding to the calculation formulas for each calculation method, such as the conventional ton-kilometer method, the improved ton-kilometer method, the fuel method, and the fuel efficiency method. The following formula (1) is the calculation formula used in the conventional ton-kilometer method, formula (2) is the calculation formula used in the improved ton-kilometer method, formula (3) is the calculation formula used in the fuel efficiency method, and formula (4) is the calculation formula used in the fuel efficiency method. Also, Figure 5A is an example of an emission coefficient database corresponding to the conventional ton-kilometer method, Figure 5B is an example of an emission coefficient database corresponding to the improved ton-kilometer method, Figure 5C is an example of an emission coefficient database corresponding to the fuel efficiency method, and Figure 5D is an example of an emission coefficient database corresponding to the fuel efficiency method.

[0030] Conventional ton-kilometer method calculation formula Transport weight [t] × Transport distance [km] × Emission intensity [g-CO2 / (t km)] × (1 / 1000000) ···(1) Calculation formula for the improved ton-kilometer method Transport weight [t] x Transport distance [km] x Fuel usage intensity [l / (t km)] x (1 / 1000) x Unit calorific value [GJ / kl] x Emission factor [t-CO2 / GJ] x (44 / 12) ···(2) Fuel Method Formula Fuel consumption [kl] × Unit calorific value [GJ / kl] × Emission factor [t-CO2 / GJ] × (44 / 12) ···(3) Fuel economy calculation formula {(Transport distance [km] / Fuel consumption [km / l]) × (1 / 1000)} × Unit calorific value [GJ / kl] × Emission coefficient [t-CO2 / GJ] × (44 / 12) (4)

[0031] When the emission calculation unit 214 calculates the emission amount based on the information input as the transportation record, a fixed value used for calculating the emission amount is determined based on the settings related to the emission amount of environmental load substances stored for each logistics base in the setting information storage unit 2311 and the actual input value, and the fixed value is read out from the calculation method storage unit 232. X , S.O. X Even when tracking particulate matter (PM), the emissions of these environmental load substances can be calculated using the formula "activity amount x emission coefficient" in the same way as CO2 emissions. Therefore, it is sufficient to store one or more calculation formulas corresponding to each environmental load substance and an emission coefficient database in the calculation method storage unit 232.

[0032] The tracking database 233 stores input values ​​for the input items. As described later, at each logistics base, information is input for the input items set in the input item storage unit 231, and the input information is registered in the tracking database 233. The tracking database 233 stores the date and time, and each input value (location information, image, electronic signature, input value related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances, and other input values) input for the luggage indicated by the luggage ID at the logistics base indicated by the base ID in association with the project ID, luggage ID, and base ID. The tracking database 233 also stores the emission amount for each transportation to each base calculated based on the input value related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances in association with the project ID, luggage ID, and base ID. In addition, the tracking database 233 may store the total emission amount for each luggage calculated from the emission amount linked to each base and stored in association with the project ID and luggage ID. Note that only information related to the input items set to be input in the input item storage unit 231 is registered in the tracking database 233.

[0033] The authority storage unit 234 stores, for each worker, base identification information that identifies a logistics base where the worker can input an input value. The authority storage unit 234 may include an authority group storage unit 2341 and an authority member storage unit 2342. The authority group storage unit 2341 stores, in association with a project ID that indicates a project and a group ID that identifies a group, a group name (group name), a base ID (base identification information) that identifies a logistics base, and a permission flag that sets whether or not the worker 1 is allowed to input and output information. The authority member storage unit 2342 stores, in association with a project ID and a person in charge ID that identifies each worker 1, a group ID that indicates a group to which each worker 1 belongs.

[0034] <Functional Units of Server Device 20> The setting unit 215 accepts the designation of the luggage, the logistics base, and the corresponding input items, and transmits the designated information to the input item storage unit 231 and stores it. The designation of the luggage, the logistics base, and the corresponding input items is performed in advance by a person in charge of the shipper (hereinafter referred to as a setter) before starting the transportation of the luggage, for example. At this time, the setting unit 215 transmits a predetermined setting screen 40 to a terminal held by the setter (for example, it may be a work terminal 10, or it may be a computer such as a personal computer or a smartphone used by a user who sets the input items), and accepts the designation of the logistics base for each luggage by the setter (i.e., project setting) and the designation of the input items for each logistics base belonging to the project through the setting screen 40 displayed on the terminal. In the software configuration shown in FIG. 4, the setting unit 215 is provided in the server device 20, but a function equivalent to the setting unit 215 may be provided in the work terminal 10 held by the setter. For example, a terminal such as the work terminal 10 may be provided with a function for displaying the setting screen 40 and accepting input, and the setting information accepted by the work terminal 10 may be transmitted to the server device 20 .

[0035] The setting unit 215 may display the setting screen 40 on the terminal of the person who sets the setting by transmitting screen data described in HTML to the terminal of the person who sets the setting. The setting screen 40 output by the setting unit 215 may present fields for accepting settings for items such as a base ID, a base name, a consolidation flag, a deconsolidation flag, a next base ID, a person in charge flag, notification information, location information, an image, an electronic signature, and an amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted, as options for input items that are set in advance for each logistics base. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the setting screen 40 output when accepting settings for input items for each logistics base.

[0036] In the setting screen 40 illustrated in FIG. 6, settings can be made for one logistics base (tracking point) belonging to a project. In an input field 401, the name of the logistics base (tracking point) (base name in the setting information) is input. In input fields 402 and 403 using radio buttons, it is selected whether or not consolidation and deconsolidation of packages is permitted at the logistics base (consolidation flag and deconsolidation flag in the setting information). In an input field 404, the next logistics base after the logistics base (next base ID in the setting information) is selected. In an input field 405, it is set whether or not a person in charge of the logistics base is set (person in charge flag in the setting information), and in an input field 406, it is set whether or not to notify the person in charge of the next logistics base (notification information in the setting information).

[0037] In input field 407, the user inputs whether or not location information will be included in the input items at the logistics base (location information setting, which sets whether obtaining location information is mandatory or optional at the logistics base).In input field 408, the user inputs whether or not image information will be included in the input items at the logistics base (image setting, which sets whether registering an image of the package is mandatory or optional at the logistics base).In input field 409, the user inputs whether or not an electronic signature will be included in the input items at the logistics base (electronic signature setting, which sets whether registering an electronic signature by worker 1 is mandatory or optional at the logistics base).

[0038] In the input field 410, other items to be included as input items (additional input items) are set, and an input field 411 for inputting settings related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances may be provided in this input field 410. The settings related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances may be accepted, for example, via a modal window that is displayed by pressing a button 4101 shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a modal window 45 for setting input items related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances.

[0039] 7 is a field for selecting an input item to be set in the modal window 45, and when a setting related to "CO2 emission calculation" is selected in this input field 451, a description field for each calculation method, an input field 452 for accepting the selection of the calculation method, and an input field 453 for accepting the input of the name of the input item may be displayed in the modal window 45. The input field 451 may accept the selection of the input item to be set by displaying a drop-down list, and the input field 451 drop-down list may be set so that not only the CO2 emission calculation setting but also the setting of other input items such as settings related to other environmental load substances can be accepted.

[0040] The setting unit 215 accepts the designation of the calculation method, which selects at least one calculation method to be used when calculating the emission amount associated with the transportation to the next base (or the transportation from the previous base) from among the calculation methods presented in the input field 452 in FIG. 7. At this time, one calculation method may be designated for one logistics base, or two or more calculation methods may be designated for one logistics base. For example, when the setter designates the transportation method from one logistics base to the next logistics base, or when the transportation method is clear, one calculation method may be designated, and when the setter cannot identify the transportation method or the transportation vehicle type from one logistics base, two or more calculation methods may be designated. After accepting the designation of the calculation method, the setting unit 215 determines the input items (input items related to the selection of the vehicle type or transportation method, input items related to the selection of the type of fuel or electricity, transportation weight, transportation distance, loading rate, fuel usage, etc.) according to the designated calculation method. In other words, the setting unit 215 accepts the designation of at least one calculation method selected for each baggage and logistics base, and determines the input items related to the emission amount of the environmental load substance corresponding to the designated at least one calculation method. In addition, the modal window 45 for setting input items related to CO2 emission may be provided with a check box 454 for specifying whether or not input to the input items related to CO2 emission is mandatory at the target logistics base.

[0041] When the settings of the input items related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances are accepted in the modal window 45, the accepted setting information is reflected in the input field 411 shown in Fig. 6, and editing and deletion using an edit button and a delete button may be possible. In the input field 410, not only the settings related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances are accepted, but also other additional input items may be set (input field 412), and for each additional input item, a form type 4121 and a form name 4122 can be set. When other additional input items are set, the modal window 45 displayed by pressing the button 4101 may be used, as in the case of setting the input items related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances.

[0042] 6 is pressed, the screen may transition to the setting screen 40 that accepts the setting of the input items related to the next logistics base. As described above, the setting of the input items using the setting screen 40 and the modal window 45 is accepted for each logistics base belonging to the project. The setting values ​​inputted to the setting screen 40 are transmitted from a terminal such as the work terminal 10 to the server device 20, and the setting unit 215 creates setting information including the received setting values ​​and registers it in the setting information storage unit 2311 included in the input item storage unit 231. When setting values ​​for multiple logistics bases are transmitted from the terminal, setting information can be created and registered for each logistics base.

[0043] The code issuing unit 216 issues an automatic recognition code. The code issuing unit 216 can issue an automatic recognition code for each piece of luggage related to the project. The automatic recognition code issued by the code issuing unit 216 may be attached to the target luggage or a container (such as a pallet or a container) in which the target luggage is placed. For example, a URL unique to the project may be encoded in the automatic recognition code. The URL may include a luggage ID that identifies the luggage managed by the automatic recognition code. That is, the project and the luggage can be identified by reading and accessing the URL from the automatic recognition code attached to the luggage. The code issuing unit 216 can register the luggage ID and project ID in the luggage information storage unit 2312 included in the input item storage unit 231 for each piece of luggage for which an automatic recognition code has been issued, in association with each other.

[0044] The identification information receiving unit 211 acquires base identification information for identifying a logistics base, and baggage identification information for identifying a baggage read from an automatic recognition code attached to the baggage (attached to the baggage or the object of the baggage). As described above, an automatic recognition code is attached to the baggage or the object of the baggage, and the work terminal 10 can read a URL from the automatic recognition code and access the URL. Here, examples of the worker 1 who reads the automatic recognition code using the work terminal 10 include a person in charge of each logistics base and a person belonging to a transport company that transports to each logistics base. In response to reading the automatic recognition code (or accessing the read URL), the baggage corresponding to the read automatic recognition code is identified, and the identification information receiving unit 211 acquires the baggage identification information.

[0045] Furthermore, in response to access to the URL, the identification information receiving unit 211 can output a list of available logistics bases to the worker 1 and accept the selection of a logistics base. For example, the identification information receiving unit 211 can identify a logistics base corresponding to the project from the setting information storage unit 2311 and transmit a list of the identified logistics bases (list of base names) to the work terminal 10, and the work terminal 10 can receive the designation of a logistics base from the worker 1 and transmit a base ID indicating the accepted logistics base to the server device 20. The identification information receiving unit 211 acquires the base ID transmitted to the server device 20 as base identification information. The identification information receiving unit 211 transmits the acquired parcel identification information and base identification information to the form output unit 212, which will be described later.

[0046] The form output unit 212 identifies input items corresponding to the parcel identified by the parcel identification information and the logistics base identified by the base identification information from the input item storage unit 231, and outputs an input form for receiving input for the identified input items to the work terminal 10 of the worker 1. The form output unit 212 identifies input items (position information, image, electronic signature, input items related to the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted, or items designated as other input items) corresponding to the project and logistics base from the setting information storage unit 2311 included in the input item storage unit 231, and can create a form for inputting the identified input items, for example, by HTML.

[0047] At least, the form output unit 212 identifies input items related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances corresponding to the acquired parcel identification information and base identification information from the setting information storage unit 2311, and outputs an input form including the input items related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances to the work terminal 10. For example, the form output unit 212 identifies a calculation method of the emission of environmentally hazardous substances and input items corresponding to the calculation method, which are set in advance for each parcel and logistics base, and outputs an input form in which the identified input items are presented. A part of the input form that presents the input items related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances is referred to as a calculation form. For example, FIG. 8 is an example of a calculation form including input items related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances. When the conventional ton-kilometer method is set for the logistics base indicated by the acquired base identification information, the form output unit 212 outputs a calculation form including the input items shown in FIG. 8(a). In the calculation form in FIG. 8(a), an input field for accepting the selection of a vehicle type or a transportation method, an input field for the transportation weight, and an input field for the transportation distance are provided as input items corresponding to the conventional ton-kilometer method.

[0048] FIG. 8(b) is an example of a calculation form when the improved ton-kilometer method is set, and this calculation form is provided with an input field for accepting the selection of the vehicle type, an input field for the transport weight, an input field for the transport distance, and an input field for the loading rate. FIG. 8(c) is an example of a calculation form when the fuel method is set, and this calculation form is provided with an input field for accepting the selection of the type of fuel and electricity, and an input field for the amount of fuel used. FIG. 8(d) is an example of a calculation form when the fuel efficiency method is set, and this calculation form is provided with an input field for accepting the selection of whether a business vehicle or a personal vehicle was used, an input field for accepting the selection of the vehicle type, and an input field for the transport distance.

[0049] When one calculation method is set for one logistics base identified by the base identification information, the form output unit 212 may generate an input form including one calculation form (e.g., FIG. 8(a) to FIG. 8(d)) corresponding to the set one calculation method. On the other hand, when two or more calculation methods are set for one identified logistics base, the form output unit 212 may generate an input form including multiple calculation forms corresponding to the set multiple calculation methods. When multiple calculation methods are set, an input field may be provided in the input form to allow the worker 1 to select one calculation form corresponding to the actual transportation method. The input form generated by the form output unit 212 may include location information, images, electronic signatures, and other input items set for each package and logistics base, in addition to the calculation form including the input items related to the emission amount of environmental load substances exemplified in FIG. 8. In addition, the form output unit 212 may generate multiple input forms according to the types of input values ​​to be received for each package and logistics base, and output them to the work terminal 10.

[0050] In the input form output by the form output unit 212, a project ID, a parcel ID, and a base ID are registered based on the parcel identification information and the base identification information acquired by the identification information receiving unit 211, and other setting information specified when generating the input form (for example, a calculation method of the amount of environmental load substances discharged set for each logistics base, etc.) may be registered. Furthermore, before transmitting the form, the form output unit 212 may authenticate the work terminal 10 owned by the worker 1 and determine whether or not the worker 1 has the authority to input information in the logistics. In this case, the form output unit 212 can acquire a group ID corresponding to the project and the authenticated worker 1 from the authority member storage unit 2342, acquire a permission flag corresponding to the acquired group ID and the base ID indicating the logistics base from the authority group storage unit 2341, and determine whether or not the worker 1 has the authority according to the permission flag. When an authorized worker 1 is identified (i.e., when it is determined that the work terminal 10 (worker 1) that read the automatic recognition code has the authority), the form output unit 212 may register the person in charge ID in the input form to be output.

[0051] The input unit 213 accepts input values ​​related to the input items entered into the form. For example, the worker 1 who has received a calculation form including an input item related to the amount of environmental load substances emitted as shown in FIG. 8 inputs information corresponding to the actual transport performance (such as the vehicle / transport method used in the actual transport to the logistics base identified by the base identification information, the actual transport weight, the actual transport distance, the actual loading rate, and the actual fuel consumption) into each item (input field) of the calculation form displayed on the work terminal 10. When multiple calculation methods are set for one logistics base, the input unit 213 may present multiple calculation forms, have the worker 1 select one calculation form corresponding to the actual transport method or transport vehicle, and accept input values ​​for the selected calculation form. The "transport weight" entered into the form is the weight of the package managed by the automatic recognition code read when the identification information receiving unit 211 acquires the information.

[0052] When acquisition of location information is set for a logistics base identified by the base identification information, the work terminal 10 may acquire location information of the terminal (worker 1) using a GPS or the like and transmit it to the server device 20, and the input unit 213 may receive this location information. When an input item related to an image is set for a logistics base, the work terminal 10 may transmit an image of a package taken by a camera to the server 20, and the input unit 213 may receive the image. Similarly, when an input item related to an electronic signature is set for a logistics base, the input unit 213 may receive an electronic signature stored in the work terminal 10 based on an operation by the worker 1.

[0053] The input unit 213 receives the various input values ​​input by the worker 1 as described above, and registers each input value input in the form in the tracking database 233 in association with a project ID, a parcel ID, and a base ID indicating a logistics base. The input information for each parcel and logistics base registered in the tracking database 233 may include setting information such as a calculation method registered in the input form, together with each input value related to the emission of environmental load substances. After receiving the various input values ​​by the worker 1, the input unit 213 transmits each input value related to the emission of environmental load substances to the emission calculation unit 214 described later. The information transmitted from the input unit 213 to the emission calculation unit 214 may include setting information such as a project ID, a parcel ID, a base ID, and a calculation method registered in the input form used, together with each input value related to the emission of environmental load substances.

[0054] The emission calculation unit 214 calculates the emission amount of the environmental load substance associated with the transportation of the package to the logistics base identified by the base identification information, based on each input value related to the emission amount of the environmental load substance received by the input unit 213. For example, the emission calculation unit 214 receives the setting information such as the calculation method and the input value sent from the input unit 213, and then refers to the calculation method storage unit 232 to identify the calculation formula and the fixed values ​​such as the emission coefficient (emission intensity) corresponding to the setting information and the input value (i.e., reads out the fixed values ​​necessary for calculating the emission amount from the calculation method storage unit 232). Then, the emission calculation unit 214 substitutes the specified fixed values ​​such as the emission coefficient (emission intensity) and the input value received by the input unit 213 into the calculation formula read out from the calculation method storage unit 232, to calculate the emission amount of the environmental load substance. After that, the emission calculation unit 214 registers the calculated emission amount of the environmental load substance in the tracking database 233 in association with the project ID, the package ID, and the base ID indicating the logistics base.

[0055] Furthermore, the emission calculation unit 214 may read out the emission amount of environmental load substances for each logistics base stored in association with a specific package (project) in the tracking database 233, and calculate the total amount (total emission amount) of environmental load substances emitted in association with the transport of the specific package in the logistics process based on the read emission amount of environmental load substances. In other words, the emission calculation unit 214 may calculate the total amount (total emission amount for each package) of environmental load substances emitted from the shipper to the recipient by summing up the emission amount of environmental load substances calculated for each logistics base. The emission calculation unit 214 registers the total emission amount calculated in this way in the tracking database 233 in association with the project ID and package ID.

[0056] Next, the flow of the input item setting process will be described with reference to FIG.

[0057] First, a user (e.g., a person in charge belonging to a shipper business) gives an instruction to create a project to the server device 20, and the server device 20 creates a project and assigns a project ID (S501). The setting unit 215 of the server device 20 transmits screen data for displaying the setting screen 40 to the user's terminal, and a logistics base (tracking point) is created on the setting screen 40 on the user's terminal (S502), and setting items (including input items) for the logistics base are input (S503). In step S503, when input items related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances are set, the setting unit 215 transmits screen data for displaying a modal window 45 to the user's terminal. Then, the setting unit 215 accepts the designation of at least one calculation method for the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances via the modal window 45 displayed on the user's terminal, and determines input items related to the emission amount of environmentally hazardous substances at the logistics base based on the designated calculation method.

[0058] The above steps S502 and S503 are repeated until the settings for all logistics bases belonging to the project are completed (S504: NO). When the settings for each logistics base are completed, the setting information (setting values) for each logistics base inputted on the setting screen 40 is transmitted to the server device 20, and the setting information determined for each logistics base is registered in the setting information storage unit 2311 in the server device 20 (S505).

[0059] Next, the flow of the input value registration process executed when a package arrives at a specific logistics center will be described with reference to Fig. 10. In the following description, an example will be shown in which a QR code (registered trademark) is used as the automatic recognition code.

[0060] When a package arrives at a logistics base, the worker 1 photographs the QR code (registered trademark) using the work terminal 10, reads a URL from the QR code (registered trademark) (S521), and accesses the server device 20 indicated by the read URL (S522). A project ID and package ID are set in the URL, and the server device 10 reads out a base ID and base name corresponding to the project ID from the setting information storage unit 2311 provided in the input item storage unit 231, and transmits them to the work terminal 10. The work terminal 10 receives a list of logistics bases corresponding to the package identified from the read QR code (registered trademark), and accepts the designation of one logistics base by the worker 1. Then, the base ID indicating the logistics base designated by the work terminal 10 is notified to the server device 20 (S523).

[0061] The server device 20 authenticates the worker 1 (or the work terminal 10), identifies the group ID corresponding to the project ID and person in charge ID from the authority member storage unit 2342, reads the permission flag corresponding to the identified group ID and base ID from the authority group storage unit 2341, and judges whether the worker 1 has the authority to input data according to the read permission flag (S524). If the worker 1 has the authority (S524: YES), the server device 20 reads the input items corresponding to the project ID and base ID from the setting information storage unit 2311, creates a form for inputting the input items, for example, by HTML, and transmits it to the work terminal 10 (S525). The input form transmitted to the work terminal 10 in this step S525 includes at least an input item related to the emission amount of environmental load substances. If multiple calculation methods are set for one logistics base specified in step S523, an input form including input items corresponding to the multiple calculation methods is transmitted to the work terminal 10. When the worker inputs values ​​into the form on the work terminal 10, the input values ​​are transmitted from the work terminal 10 to the server (S526), ​​and the server device 20 registers the received input values ​​in the tracking database 233 in association with the project ID, package ID, base ID, and the current date and time (S527). If multiple calculation methods are set for one logistics base, in step S526, the worker 1 may select an input item corresponding to the actual transportation method or transportation vehicle from the presented input items.

[0062] In the above step S527, the input unit 213 of the server device 20 transmits the received input value related to the emission amount of the environmental load substance to the emission amount calculation unit 214. Then, the emission amount calculation unit 214 calculates the emission amount of the environmental load substance emitted in association with the transportation to the logistics base specified in step S523 based on the input value related to the emission amount of the environmental load substance while referring to various fixed values ​​(calculation formula, emission coefficient, emission unit, etc.) stored in the calculation method storage unit 232. After that, the emission amount calculation unit 214 of the server device 20 registers the calculated emission amount of the environmental load substance in the tracking database 233 in association with the project ID, the parcel ID, the base ID, and the current date and time. In addition, the emission amount calculation unit 214 of the server device 20 calculates the total emission amount of each package by summing up the emission amounts of the environmental load substance associated with one project (package) each time the emission amount of the environmental load substance is registered in the tracking database 233 or after the input values ​​for all logistics bases belonging to the project are registered. Then, the emission calculation unit 214 registers the calculated total emission amount in the tracking database 233 in association with the project ID, the package ID, and the current date and time.

[0063] By executing the above-mentioned input value registration process for each logistics base every time a package arrives at the logistics base, the flow of packages through multiple transport companies and / or multiple transport methods can be tracked using an automatic recognition code (QR Code (registered trademark) is exemplified above). In the logistics management system of this embodiment, setting information can be flexibly registered so that different input values ​​can be accepted for each logistics base, and input items related to the emission of environmentally hazardous substances are set for each package and logistics base. Therefore, the automatic recognition code can be used to track the emission of environmentally hazardous substances accompanying transportation between each logistics base. Therefore, the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted for each package from the shipper to the consignee can be easily grasped.

[0064] 11 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen for information registered in the tracking database 233. As described above, the input values, environmental load substance emissions, and total emissions for each logistics base are registered in the tracking database 233, and the worker 1 (including the shipper, the consignee, and the person in charge at the logistics base) can check these input values ​​and environmental load substance emissions.

[0065] In response to a request from the work terminal 10 of the worker 1, the server device 20 can transmit screen data (which can be written in HTML, for example) for displaying the screen 50 shown in Fig. 11. A project ID and a person in charge ID can be specified in the request from the work terminal 10, and the server device 20 can identify a group ID corresponding to the project ID and person in charge ID from the authority storage unit 234, read a pair of a base ID and a permission flag corresponding to the team group ID and project ID, read a record corresponding to the base ID and project ID where the permission flag indicates that viewing of information is permitted from the tracking database 233, and transmit the record to the work terminal 10 by including it in the screen data.

[0066] On screen 50, the date and time and input values ​​registered in the records of tracking database 233 for each logistics base can be displayed in a list, and if the record includes location information, a corresponding map display screen 51 can also be displayed. Furthermore, if emissions of environmentally hazardous substances calculated at multiple logistics bases are registered in association with one project ID, screen 50 may display the total emissions of environmentally hazardous substances in the project, which is the sum of these multiple emissions. In this way, the person in charge can view the information registered in tracking database 233.

[0067] The form output unit 212 may authenticate the work terminal 10 (person in charge) before sending the form, and determine whether or not the person in charge has the authority to input information in the logistics. In this case, the form output unit 212 acquires a group ID corresponding to the project and the authenticated person in charge from the authority member storage unit 2332, acquires a permission flag corresponding to the acquired group ID and a base ID indicating a logistics base from the authority group storage unit 2331, and determines whether or not the person in charge has the authority according to the permission flag.

[0068] The above-described embodiment is merely an example for facilitating understanding of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. The present disclosure can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and it goes without saying that the present disclosure includes equivalents. For example, the above embodiment mainly illustrates a process for tracking CO2 emissions, but the logistics management system can also track other environmental load substances (e.g., CH4, N2O, NO2) emitted in the transport of luggage. X , S.O. X , or PM), or may be applied to tracking a plurality of environmental load substances.

[0069] <Modification> In addition, in a logistics management system, a luggage code affixed to the luggage may be used as an automatic recognition code for tracking the flow of luggage and the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted, and an object code affixed to the object into which the luggage is placed may also be used.

[0070] In logistics, a package may be transported by itself on a truck or the like, or may be transported on a pallet together with other packages, and the pallet may also be transported together with other pallets loaded into a container. In a logistics management system, packages and pallets, and further containers in which pallets are loaded, may be linked and managed, so that by reading automatic identification codes (item codes) attached to objects such as pallets and containers, it may be possible to track each package without reading automatic identification codes (package codes) attached to individual packages.

[0071] For example, the code issuing unit 216 may issue a code for a package (hereinafter referred to as a solo code), a code for an article for loading a plurality of packages of the same type such as a pallet (hereinafter referred to as a package code), and a code for an article for a container or the like for loading a plurality of pallets regardless of whether they are the same or different types (hereinafter referred to as a consolidation code). In this case, the function unit of the server device 20 may execute a process of pairing the article code issued for the parent article with the package code for the child article (the package code attached to the package to be put into the article). This pairing may be executed by reading the package code for the parent article (package code or consolidation code) and the package code for the child article when loading a plurality of packages into the article. When the pairing is executed, pairing information for managing the parent-child relationship between the package and the article may be generated and stored in a pairing database provided in the storage unit of the server device 20.

[0072] The pairing information may include information such as the weight of each piece of luggage identified by its respective luggage code, the weight of other luggage (e.g. luggage of other shippers not managed by the automatic recognition code) loaded on the container, the weight of the container itself, and the total weight of the container including the weight of luggage loaded on the container. Such information on the weight of each piece of luggage may be input via the work terminal 10 when pairing is performed (i.e., when the container code and the luggage code are read and the luggage is inserted into the container), or may be read and identified from information registered in the tracking database 233 by registering the input value at the previous logistics base. By registering the weight of the luggage managed by the luggage code in the pairing information, the ratio of the weight of each piece of luggage to the total weight of the container including the luggage weight can be identified.

[0073] If the pairing of the baggage code and the object code is performed as described above, when the object carrying the baggage arrives at a specific logistics base, the input value registration process may be performed by reading the object code instead of the baggage code. For example, when the work terminal 10 reads the object code attached to the object when the baggage arrives (or accesses a URL read from the object code), the identification information receiving unit 211 may refer to a pairing database in which the pairing information is stored to identify the child baggage code linked to the parent object code, and the baggage ID and project ID corresponding to the baggage code, and acquire the baggage identification information.

[0074] In addition, when inputting the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted into the input form generated by reading the utensil code, the total weight (including the weight of the luggage carried) of the utensil corresponding to the read utensil code may be input in the transport weight field. The emission calculation unit 214 may calculate the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted during the transportation of the utensil based on the set calculation method and the total weight of the utensil input. In this case, the emission calculation unit 214 may calculate the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted from each luggage carried on the utensil from the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted based on the total weight of the utensil, taking into consideration the pairing information. In other words, the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted from each luggage (luggage identified by the paired luggage code) included in the utensil may be calculated by apportioning the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted based on the total weight of the utensil. The method of apportionment is not particularly limited, and for example, if the pairing information includes the weight ratio of each luggage to the total weight of the utensil, the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted calculated based on the total weight of the utensil may be apportioned by multiplying the weight ratio by the amount of environmentally hazardous substances emitted. After allocating the emissions in this manner, the emission calculation unit 214 may register the allocated amount of environmental load substances emissions for each package in the tracking database 233 in association with the project ID, package ID, base ID, and current date and time.
